Santorum stops in Georgetown BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County became the center of presidential politics on Feb. 17. Republican candidate Rick Santorum spoke to over 750 people at the Brown County GOP’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the Georgetown Elemen-

tary School. Santorum is currently leading in polls taken in Michigan and Ohio, ahead of primaries in the two states. Current national polling data also shows Santorum leading the other three republican candidates. Santorum was introduced by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, who recently changed his endorsement from Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney. He spoke about his core platform of social conservatism for about an hour, and his remarks were interrupted by applause numerous times. Santorum did not mention any of his Republican rivals by name, saving all his fire for President Obama. Remarking on what many Republicans referred to as Obama’s “apology tour” of foreign countries early in his Presidency, Santorum said “Our country has done more for freedom, for liberty for human rights, for improving the quality of life for the entire world than any other country in history. We have nothing to apologize for!” Those remarks were greeted by a standing ovation. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Brown County Board of Health to test water at Rumpke Landfill BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County Board of Health voted Feb. 14 to begin testing water on and near the Rumpke landfill in Georgetown. “We don’t anticipate finding anything that would be of any concern”, said Environmental Health Director Steve Dick. “We are doing this as a
service to the county, much like the air quality testing that we already perform.” Dick said that tests will be performed in March, April and May to get a baseline to compare future test results to. At the meeting, the Board of Health discussed making future tests possibly on a quarterly basis, but no formal decision was made. Dick said the water would
be tested in two areas...the sediment ponds that catch rainwater that flows off the garbage and water immediately outside the landfill, like Sunshine Creek. The water will be sent to an independent lab for analysis. The testing is expected to cost $700.00 per test. With two tests in each of the next three months, the total cost CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

of all ages aware of the seriousness of cervical cancer by raising $2,500 which was donated to Neighborhood Health Care, Inc. The clinic matched the donation which will provide over 200 women with free screenings. The foundation was formed by friends and family members of the late Jaymie Lynn Jamison, the 34 year old mother of four who died last year after a long battle with cervical cancer. The foundation held a special inspirational luncheon to recognize January as National Cervical Cancer Month at the Downtown Hilton in Cincinnati Netherland Plaza in the Hall of Mirrors on January 28. “The dining area where the luncheon was held was breath-
taking” explained Evonne Daugherty, foundation member and mother-in-law to Jaymie Jamison, “everything was decorated in the color teal which represents gynecological cancer. “The Sweet Adelines International Women’s A Cappella Chorus opened the luncheon as everyone was being seated. Then anchor woman Sheree Paolello from channel 5 news expressed her commitment to the foundation.” Daugherty said Paolello has been a strong supporter of the Jaymie Jamison Foundation of Hope since is very beginning in 2011. Paolello spoke briefly about gynecologic cancer. At that point Jaymie Jamison’s daughter CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Three men are running for the newly created 66th District of the Ohio House of Representatives. Brown County Auditor Doug Green, Nick Owens and Rick Herron were all asked to submit responses to questions from the Brown County Press. Their responses are printed verbatim below. Next week, all four candidates for Ohio Senate District 14 will be profiled. Those candidates will also be featured on the “Community Corner” radio program on WAOL 99.5 on Friday, March 2 at 10 a.m. Nick Owens I am a lifelong resident of Clermont County and graduated from Batavia High School. While
in high school I attended Clermont College full-time later graduating with my bachelor’s degree in business from the University of Cincinnati at the age of 20. I paid for my entire college education myself working as a student equipment manager for the Bearcats football team and for my family’s small business Lambert Heating and Cooling. I am the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college. After graduation, I volunteered for then former State Representative Jean Schmidt in her initial congressional campaign. Upon Congresswoman Schmidt’s victory I was offered a position on her official staff, which lasted nearly five years until I resigned to begin law school. I will graduate this May from the University of Dayton School of Law. Over the past year I have worked for the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office where I received a convic-
tion during my first jury trial. Additionally, my sister Stephanie is currently serving in the United States Marine Corps. She has achieved the rank of Corporal and has served one tour of duty in Afghanistan. I am the only candidate to be endorsed by the Ohio Right to Life PAC, Ohio ProLife Action, Fraternal Order of Police Ohio Valley Lodge 112, and the Citizens for Community Values Action PAC. Also, I have received the highest score possible from the Buckeye Firearms Association for a non incumbent office holder regarding my positions on preserving our Second Amendment rights. I am running for State Representative because I deeply care about our community and want to help preserve the American dream for future generations. Unfortunately, our state is being run by career politicians who are CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

In recognition of St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, all dog adoptions from the Brown County Animal Shelter will be reduced by $10. The only catch is, the adopted dog must have an Irish name. Fortunately, all the dogs at the shelter currently have Irish names. “We’re planning a special St. Patrick’s Day/Open House at the shelter,” explained Jan Staubach, member of the Brown County Humane Society and volunteer at the shelter. “We’ve given our dogs Irish names in hopes of finding homes for all of them at a discount price.” Staubach said the Open House will include tours and refreshments as well as a drawing for a large gift basket. She said the open house is a good reason to visit the shelter. “We truly have some beautiful, exceptional dogs right now at the shelter, and I believe there is someone out there for each and every one of them.” Staubach said the first “Neuterville Express,

Bankruptcy type determines timeline for completion Q: I am an individual experiencing financial difficulties. What are the differences between the types of bankruptcies I might consider? A: Before deciding to file, you should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine your options, including any alternatives to bankruptcy. Most individuals who proceed choose between a Chapter 7 ‘straight’ bankruptcy and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is sometimes called a ‘wage earnerís plan.’ Q: What is the difference between a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy? A: A Chapter 7 bankruptcy normally allows you to discharge certain debts, such as credit card bills. You can often keep your home and your car. For example, if your mortgage is current and your house is worth less than what you owe your lender, you can usually keep your home. Even if your house is worth more than what you owe your lender, you may be able to keep it, depending on the amount of equity (the amount by which the value exceeds what you owe on your mortgage). If you have equity over a certain amount, the trustee appointed for you in your Chapter 7 proceeding may proceed to sell your home. This also applies to other assets. If you have assets that your trustee is able to sell to satisfy your debt, you may want
LAW YOU CAN USE OHIO STATE BAR
to consider filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you make payments to the Chapter 13 trustee through payroll deductions, usually for either 36 or 60 months. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your home, but you must resume your normal monthly mortgage payments and pay any arrearage (payments you missed) over time through your Chapter 13 plan. Also, if your mortgage is current, but there is equity in your home for bankruptcy purposes, a Chapter 13 proceeding allows you to keep your home if you pay the equity amount to your creditors in installments over time. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be useful if your income level is too high to allow you to qualify for a Chapter 7 proceeding. Q: What is the timeline for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy? A: Usually, you will first meet with your attorney to see if you qualify for a Chapter 7 proceeding, and if that is the best choice for you. Your attorney will ask you to bring financial documents
such as pay stubs and tax returns. If you decide to proceed, the attorney will draft your bankruptcy petition, but before you can actually file the petition, you must take a credit counseling course, usually online or by telephone. After completing this course, you will meet with your attorney again to review your petition and sign it. Then, the petition is filed with the court electronically. About a month after the filing, you and your attorney will attend a ‘meeting of creditors’ at the courthouse with your trustee and any creditors who wish to attend. At this meeting, the trustee may ask you for more documents, such as copies of tax returns that have not yet been filed. Each creditor normally has two months after the meeting to file any objections to your request for a general discharge of debts or to the discharge of a specific debt. If no objections are filed in the two-month period, the court will enter the discharge. If your trustee requires nothing further, your case is closed and you are finished. If your trustee has assets to distribute, however, your case will remain open until your trustee completes his or her obligation to distribute money to your creditors. This can take many months. Q: What is the timeline for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy? A: A Chapter 13 bankruptcy
filing procedure is similar to that of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After the filing, however, the timeline is different. Completing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan will usually take either 36 or 60 months, depending on your income level. During those months, you will make payments to the Chapter 13 trustee, who will distribute the funds to creditors according to your plan. You will receive your discharge of debts when you complete your Chapter 13 plan. Q: How long does a bankruptcy remain on my credit report? A: A Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy normally remains on your credit report for seven to 10 years following your discharge. You can, however, begin to reestablish your credit immediately following discharge. For example, you can obtain a secured credit card by depositing $500 with your bank and receiving a credit card with a $500 limit. If the company does not have a dispute process, you should contact your local legal aid for help (1-866-LAW-OHIO). You may also try calling the Ohio Attorney General’s help center (1800-282-0515). While the PUCO has a complaint center, the PUCO does not deal with unregulated utilities and will not be able to help you resolve your complaint.
Many people don’t associate water and sewer systems with job creation. In fact, most Americans might not think about their water and sewer systems much beyond paying a water bill. But one consistent message I’ve heard at many of the 200 roundtable discussions I’ve conducted across our state is that affordable water and sewer rates are critical to attracting and retaining employers – particularly those in the manufacturing industry that depend on water for their production processes. A modern, affordable water infrastructure is critical to preserving jobs, building strong communities, and keeping Americans safe. This is a jobs issue, which is why I am re-introducing the Clean Water Affordability Act – bipartisan legislation I first introduced in 2008 with thenSenator George V. Voinovich. All Ohioans deserve access to clean water, but across Ohio communities are struggling to afford the necessary upgrades to improve their sewer systems. In parts of the state with combined sewer systems (CSOs), heavy rains or melting snow cause CSOs to overflow, meaning untreated wastewater and storm water are dumped straight into our rivers, creeks, and lakes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 850 billion gallons of untreated wastewater and storm water from CSOs are released into our communities. It poses a risk to the public health and environment – and undermines the competitiveness of our businesses. The cost of addressing

OPINION
SHERROD BROWN CSOs in Ohio alone is more than $7 billion over the next 20 years, according to the EPA. In Northeast Ohio, the fix is estimated at over $1 billion, and in Cincinnati it is at least $2 billion. There are more than 81 Ohio communities that require water infrastructure improvements to fix outdated CSOs. These communities – and their local ratepayers – shouldn’t have to go after the fixes alone. That’s why the Clean Water Affordability Act is important – it will protect local ratepayers, streamline permitting, lead to cleaner water, and promote economic development. This bill would help CSO communities develop an infrastructure plan that works best for the local community and protects our environment. It would also invest $1.8 billion to be distributed over the next five years through a grant program for financially distressed communities to invest in CSO repair. In the remaining years of the grant program, funds would be allocated to states based upon their CSO needs – with priority given to financially-distressed communities. A sound wastewater infrastructure with fair rates isn’t just a health and safety issue—it is an economic development imperative. This is a bill that will achieve both and ensure the well-being and economic success of our communities.

Impressed with Rick Santorum at GOP dinner Reader endorses Jeff lieves America should be. Of all the candidates, I have liked Santorum best since I first saw/heard him on an early debate. He has more of the "it" factor - an engaging smile, sincerity in mannerisms and speech and a relaxed presence. He comes off as a guy you could walk up to and BS with. Sans name-calling or dissing

fellow candidates, he pressed the Republican mantra that the size and power of the government is out of control. A concept that everyone (except socialist and Marxists) would agree on. However, the fact remains Government workers and those directly or indirectly impacted by
government funds are the largest voting block of Americans . . . and voters, since "The Great Society" choose what's best for them as individuals rather than what's best for the country, per se. Chuck Klein Pleasant Township
Reader endorses Joe Uecker for State Senate Dear Editor, My Fellow Voters, I am writing to ask you to join me in voting for Joe Uecker for State Senator in the 14th Senate District. We need his experience in Columbus. Joe Uecker has earned the respect of his peers through his hard work and strong family values. He works behind the scenes, doesn't seek publicity, and works across the aisle to build consensus on tough issues. Joe Uecker’s experience is also needed because, due to term limits, at least two of the three State Representatives elected in the 14th Senate District will have no legislative experience. The third has only two
years experience. These three individuals work closely with the state senator on issues affecting the entire region. I know from personal experience that, when you need help in Columbus cutting through the bureaucratic red tape, you want someone who knows who to talk with at the right state agency to get help. Joe Uecker has those relationships and that experience. Make sure your voice is heard on the critical issues that will be debated in the legislature. Joe Uecker will be your voice and your advocate. Please join me in voting for Joe Uecker March 6. Emily Niehaus New Richmond
Frye for Clerk of Courts Dear Editor, Dear Neighbors, I have lived in Brown County for many years and take a definite interest in our local campaigns given the impact it can have on this great community. Every year it seems that the campaigns are more critical simply because of the financial woes concerning Brown County. This year has truly become of great interest, not only because of the financial burdens surrounding us, but also because I am now seeing someone that I have watched mature and raise a family over the years, find his spot in the political arena . Jeff Frye is running for our County Clerk of Court Office, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell my neighbors, that I support him in his efforts. He will be receiving my vote on March 6, 2012. I
have known his family for many years, and Jeff is a true support for his wife Heather and their two children and a great family man. Jeff and his wife Heather have served this county through many organizations. His campaign is very respectable, and he genuinely wants to win to help his community. I have also heard it mentioned many times from him as well as from Heather, that even if they did not win this campaign, their family has grown because they have done this together. That is a true winner in my book. I would encourage you to get some of his literature or get on his website www.ElectJeffFrye.com and look at what he is about, as I support Jeff Frye and with our support we can elect him as our next Brown County Clerk of Courts.

Ripley Veteran releases new CD supporting wounded soldiers After spending four years in the military, former Army Spc. Justin List of Ripley, had a mission when he returned home in 2006. He vowed to raise $1,000,000 for America’s wounded warriors. “I want to continue my service to my country and my fellow servicemen and women with a venture I call ‘Operation RALLY POINT,’” List said in a press release. “Rally Point is the name of my band. We sing marching and running cadences. Operation RALLY POINT is a USO (United Service Organization) fundraiser and band that combines military marching cadence with modern rock/metal music.” For those who are unfamiliar...a military cadence or cadence call is a traditional call-and-response work song sung by military personnel while running or marching. In the United States, these cadences are sometimes called Jody calls. “I used to love calling cadences when I was in the Army and sometimes rewriting them a little with my own slant,” List added, “Many of my cadences are really songs already, they have a hook, a chorus and a melody. I was playing them so much that a buddy of mine said I should record them, so that’s what I’ve done. We’ve created

a CD called “Hooah” and we’re real excited about it. And the best part about it is that 75% of the profits from the CD sales will go to the USO’s Wounded Warrior Program.” List said that infusing everything on the Hooah CD from bass to banjo into the tracks, the album transforms 15 cadences into a CD of no-kidding rock songs. Featured songs on the CD include: • Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bakey; • C130; • Count Cadence Columbo • Airborne Ranger; • Back Home; • There Are No Airborne Rangers; • Hi Ho Diddly Bop; • Party Hearty; • Star Spangled Banner; • Saw an Old Lady; • Battle Hymn of the Engineers; • Yellow Ribbon; • Where Have You Been: • They Say That in the Army: • Taps. List said, “I love this country and the service men and women who sacrifice their time
and effort to make the world a better place,” List added. “Operation RALLY POINT is a small token of my appreciation for their service. This music is humbly dedicated to all those who have served, especially those who have been wounded or killed in action. My love and respect for them is unceasing, thank you.” The CD “Hooah” can be reviewed and ordered by visiting www.rallypointzero.com and can also be downloaded on iTunes. The cost of the CD is $11.99.

in cover crop usage across Ohio,” says Lori Hillman with the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service. “The soils in southwest Ohio present some unique challenges for local growers; winter cover crops can help improve soil quality and control erosion.” Many farmers are switching back to this established practice to reduce their dependence on fertilizers and herbicides. Other benefits provided by cover crops include increased crop yields, reduced fertilizer costs, pest and weed control, and increased drought resistance. Deep rooted cover crops, such as tillage radish, improve water infiltration and alleviate soil compaction, which are major issues in the Southwest region. “Improving soil health, preventing erosion and other soil factors are critical to the longterm profitability of local corn,

THE REJECTED ONE Today I want to talk about loud voices. Turn with me to Luke 22:63: “And the men that held Jesus mocked him and smote him.” Verse 65: “And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.” They spoke blasphemously against Jesus Christ! Blasphemy is impious, profane, or mocking speech concerning God or sacred things. These people were expressing contempt for the personality and authority of God. In another place in the Bible they falsely called Jesus a blasphemer because He said He was God. These people were truly blasphemers because they said He was not God. Then He was taken before the Sanhedrin and they asked: “Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:” Verse 69-71: “Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of man? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.” Jesus was, is, and always will be the Son of God. The Son of God who mercifully and graciously left heaven to be born of a virgin. Sin is only passed down through the father; therefore, Christ was born a holy, sinless child and He remained sinless. The body which He took on was made of the woman. His Father is God. He is perfectly innocent of all sin. But look with me in Luke 23:2 when they had brought him before Pilate: “And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ the King! Four times was Christ brought before people of authority. First He was brought before the high priests, then Pilate. Pilate sent him to Herod and Herod sent Him back to Pilate who sent Him to the cross. I am talking about loud, accusing, abusing, complaining, angry voices. We have more voices today than we have ever had in the world before and a lot of them are making the same sounds. Look at verses 10-11: “And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mock him...” Christ never defended Himself then and He does not need to defend Himself now. He told the truth.
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com He is the truth, the way, and the life! People cursed His name then and they are still cursing His name. Romans 3: 10-14 states: “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood:...” The only righteousness in this world is the righteousness of Christ. And the only way we can obtain that is by accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour. But listen to what the people of that day said in Luke 23:18-19: “And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)” They would rather have a murderer put back into society than to accept Christ as Lord. Does that sound familiar even today? Verse 21: “But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.” Verse 23: “And they were instant with loud voices requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.” The Bible tells us, because of their shared enmity toward Christ, that Herod and Pilate became friends. We are living in a day when the world is coming together as friends because of their common hatred toward Christianity. Even in America Christ is being taken out of everything and anything public. Loud and angry voices are speaking out against Christianity and prevailing. Where are the voices of Christianity?

Looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others? If so, the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) has an opportunity for you or someone you know who may be interested in helping provide a voice for residents in long-term care nursing facilities. Through the AAA7’s Volunteer Ombudsman Program, these special helpers visit nursing home residents on a regular basis to provide them with a link to the outside world. Through these visits, Volunteer Ombudsmen help to lessen the isolation and loneliness many residents experience. Volunteers also provide an essential voice for residents, providing advocacy and assistance for those who have concerns about their care. Volunteer Ombudsmen plan their own schedules, are permitted to visit any day of the week, and are provided hands-on training and technical assistance by the AAA7’s Ombudsman Program Staff. Volunteers are recognized during an annual event and invited to various AAA7 training programs and conferences at no cost. Doug McCoard, a Volunteer Ombudsman from Pike County, who volunteers in Scioto County, does feel that he has made a difference for residents of nursing homes who are unable to speak for themselves. “What I like best about my role as a Volunteer Ombudsman is that I have the opportunity to not only speak for residents, but also provide residents with the encouragement and assistance to speak for themselves. It’s what keeps me going back every week knowing that I am providing a voice for residents who may not feel they have one.” Gallipolis resident John Brewer feels he is giving back to the community when he volunteers his time in the Ombudsman Program. “I experience a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction through my time as a Volunteer Ombudsman,” Brewer comments. “I am always welcomed with open arms by residents I come in contact with as they know I have their best interests at heart.” Volunteer Ombudsman Ronda Bivens, of Vinton County, also has great things to say about her newly acquired volunteering role and the opportunity she has to help others. “I always enjoy my wise, wonderful, and thoughtful conversations with residents,” says Bivens. “Many residents are lonely

ning from the moment I am sworn in. Again, as your next state representative, I will be a leader not a follower. For further information about my campaign please visit my website: www.VoteNickOwens.com. Doug Green I have 27 years of proven leadership in county government; maintaining some of the most vital records in the County; preparing and maintaining annual budgets and modernizing operations by implementing the first computerized indexing system in the Recorder’s office. I currently serve as the Brown County Auditor and have done so since 1999. Prior to that, I served as the Brown County Recorder from 1985 through 1998. I have also served as Secretary of the Brown County Records Commission for fourteen years. I work directly with the Ohio Historical Society and the Auditor of State in the development of retention and disposal schedules for county government. I’ve served the people of Brown County as either Recorder or Auditor for over 27 years now. The one thing I have realized over that time is a majority of the problems we face come from either Columbus or Washington. So, I decided that if I wanted to make a difference for the people of the 66th district I need to go to the source and that is to run for State Representative. The key issue in this race is jobs; in the State of Ohio and in this district. I don’t believe that government should create jobs, but I do believe the government should provide an environment where jobs can be created. To address this we have to hold the line on taxes and spending. We have to streamline state regulations to promote job creation. If elected, I will regularly meet with business owners and job creators in this district so that I can take their issues directly to Columbus to insure their voices are heard. As your state representative I will be an advocate for this district. I will work with business, community and government leaders to create solutions for the real problems that face this district. Whether it is the 68 Interchange in Mt.

A’deen Friends of the Library offers thanks The Aberdeen Friends of the Library wish to thank all those who have contributed in the past to calls for assistance, and to make the announcement that they are no longer accepting contributions of books, magazines, or other materials.
I have been married 34 years, we have two children that we homeschooled and four grandchildren. We live on a small farm in Tate Township of Clermont County. We raise Katahdin Sheep and miniature donkeys. Deb’s a nurse and I work as an I.T. Consultant. I’m 61 years old so I’m not going to be doing this for the next fifty years. I am termlimited by nature. I was in the Navy from ‘68 to ‘74. I served on subs, became a corpsman and served the last three years with U.D.T. Politically: Deb and I have been recruiting and training conservatives on how and why to get involved in politics at the local level. In Hamilton County in the 1980’s we founded a Pro-Life organization named the Platform Republicans. Over the years, we trained hundreds how to become members of the party’s Candidate Selection Committee (County Central Committee). Members of this committee pick the people that make the policy. I highly recommend that you consider taking your turn as a member of this very important committee. I’m running for State Representative so that I can do my part to help reverse our country’s headlong rush into Socialism, Bankruptcy, Dependency and Tyranny. I believe the sole purpose and limit of government is to protect our God given right to Life, Liberty and Property. Moreover, I believe we have a solemn obligation to Respect the Life, Liberty and Property of others. Respect for others is the key to peace, freedom and a civil society. When combined with hard
work and frugality, it is the foundation upon which we may build our own economic prosperity. It seems our own government needs reminding just what the purpose of government is. In a larger sense, this election is not about me or any other candidate. This election is about you, and what kind of country you want to live in. Do you want to be dependent on government for everything while begging permission to do anything or will you reclaim your birthright of freedom. Our Republican Party grew out of the abolitionist movement. I’m running because I believe it has fallen to the Republicans of our time to send the tyranny of abortion, gun control, confiscatory taxes and regulation back down the smoking sulfurous pit from whence it came. And finally, one of the main reasons I want to get into this fight is an old but vivid memory. While working in a Naval Hospital, I took care of three Marines who had been severely wounded in Viet Nam. They were paralyzed. I will never forget these young men and I will not let their fight and sacrifices for liberty to be in vain. Ohio has obstacles, but also many opportunities. We are blessed with abundant natural resources. Ohio’s economy should be number one instead of in the bottom fifth. Our obstacles are mostly the self-inflicted barriers of excessive tax, regulation and the hidden costs of regulatory compliance. If elected, the first order of business will be to elect the most conservative leadership team
possible. To that end I will join with other liberty minded Republicans to form a Liberty or Tea Party Caucus. We can then work together to elect a strong conservative as Speaker of the House and to the other committee chairs. Without conservative leadership, no good bill will ever see the light of day. Generally, we must rein in spending, tax and regulation, setting free our citizens so that we have a fighting chance to compete. We must eliminate all taxes on Ohio’s businesses. Businesses actually pay no tax anyway. Taxes, like all expenses, are passed along to the customer in the form of higher prices. Ironically and tragically, this makes it less likely that a tax on business will ever be collected because the customer will likely buy elsewhere or the business will have to move out of our state. The cost of regulation has the same deleterious effect on prices and competitiveness. These costly regulations must be eliminated or reduced so that our producers can make sales so they can stay in business and stay In Ohio! We must enact Tort Reform. Excessive and frivolous law suits cost Ohio citizens in many ways and must be reined in. Slip-nFall Trial Lawyers have the Democrats to protect their economic interests. We should adopt the policy of “Loser Pays”. Punitive Damage awards should be redirected to a fund to compensate victims of crime. The parents and school age children of Ohio can also benefit from the restoration of liberty and
competition. Parents should be given an educational voucher that they can spend with the educators of their own choosing. Whose money are we talking about? Whose children are we talking about? If you really like public education then let the public decide how the money is spent. We must have Workplace Freedom. You must be free to join a union, but just as important, you must be free to not join a union. Otherwise you are only half free. There are other self-inflicted burdens like the tangled mess of Workers Comp, Licensing, Unemployment Insurance, Permits and many more that need our attention. The heavy anti-business laws of Ohio certainly are a Target Rich Environment. If nothing else, I’m tenacious. When I got into this fight for Life and Liberty back in the ‘70s, I thought I was joining the losing side. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. There was no tunnel. But now, with so many freedom loving Americans getting into the fray, we may actually have a chance to pull our country back from the brink. And who knows? Our most free and most prosperous days may yet be ahead of us. If you would like to know exactly how I feel about liberty, please read “The Law” by Frederic Bastiat.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 not willing to fight against the status quo. I am the only candidate in the race who has the education, legislative experience, and energy to get the job done from day one for their constituents in Columbus. I will not stand for kicking the can down the road in Ohio anymore. I will work to make Ohio once again the capital of innovation and ideas. As your next state representative, I will be a leader not a follower in Columbus. Some of the biggest challenges facing the 66th District and State of Ohio are lack of quality job opportunities for our residents, state government overspending, and our aging infrastructure. To meet those challenges, first and foremost, we must do a better job in Ohio of removing the needless laws and regulations that are preventing economic growth and prosperity. Government must move at the speed of business. All entities of Ohio government must work together to collaborate and consolidate their services. It should not take a deep recession for government leaders to think outside the box. Unfortunately, Ohio is one of the highest taxed states in America. This is unacceptable and I will lead the fight for Ohio to become the least taxed state, which will directly lead to more job opportunities for our residents. I will work to cut Ohio’s personal income tax. I will also work to cut our state’s sales tax. I do not believe in raising taxes ever. The more money Ohioans have in their pockets the more money they will spend in the economy. Lastly, I have already begun a dialogue with the Ohio Department of Transportation regarding improving the US 68 and SR 32 interchange. Last month, I personally sent a letter to Director Jerry Wray inviting him to visit this critical interchange. I have already received a response letter back from Deputy Director Vaughn Wilson regarding this interchange’s vital importance. I will always back up my words with actions. The voters of the 66th District deserve a state representative that can get the job done from day one for their constituents in Columbus. Again, I am the only candidate in the race who has the education, legislative experience, and energy to get the job done from day one for their constituents. I am the only candidate in the race who has directly participated in the legislative process, which I did at the highest level in Washington, DC for the United States House of Representatives. I will not face a learning curving upon entering office. I will hit the grounding run-

Roger and Juanita Barricklow with Wind-Blu What Was I Thinkin and Wind-Blue Rhythm N Blues.
Wind-Blu Farm wins Grand National and World Champion Carriage Pairs What a year of success in 2011 for Wind-Blu Morgan Farm and owners Roger and Juanita Barricklow, from Sardinia, Ohio. Roger and Juanita began raising Morgan Horses many years ago successfully showing these beautiful animals in Pleasure Driving, Western, and English classes. Roger decided to enter the Carriage Pleasure competition three years ago and began training these 2 beautiful creatures to drive in pairs last year. After a year of slow tedious training by Roger, the family began to compete in
local competitions from Georgetown, Ohio to Lexington, Ky. Finally, the decision was made to take Wind-Blu What Was I Thinkin and WindBlu Rhythm N Blues to Oklahoma to compete. They were entered into Double Jeopardy Pairs driven by son Rick Barricklow and Roger. The pair was Reserve World Champion in obstacles. By the end of the week they had also won Grand National and World Champion Carriage Pleasure Driving Pairs. The Wind Blu Farm just received word that Wind Blu What Was I Thinkin and Wind Blu Rhythm N Blues
were voted as Horse World Magazine,"The People's Choice Award in Overall Carriage Division". Roger and Juanita are very grateful to all their friends in Brown County that helped with these magnificent animals and cheered them on to victory. This has been a very special year for the family and friends of Roger and Juanita and without the help of everyone this grand accomplishment might not have occurred. Brown County continues to send world class competitors into the World Champion ranks of the Morgan Horse World.

Southern Hills Career Technical Center Senior Showcase 2012 BY Julie Bryan SHCTC Contributor Southern Hills Career Technical Center held its annual Senior Showcase Competition on January 20, 2012. The Showcase is an opportunity for seniors to demonstrate skills they have learned in their twoyear program at Southern Hills incorporating both career-technical and academic knowledge. Teams of students are judged in three basic areas: quality of the project, ability to relate the lab project with academic disciplines, and the quality of the presentation.
After judging, winners were announced in three categories: Industrial, Business, and Services. Brandon Barber and Shawn Gillespie from Agricultural Industrial Mechanics were the winners in the Industrial category. Their project compared electro pneumatics versus hydraulics. In the Business category, Graphics students Bryan Music, Kathryn Fitzpatrick, and Zach Colwell won with their project about creating a marketing concept for a local bakery. In the Services category, Dexter Fitzpatrick, Tom Dyer, and Thomas Ramsey from
Sports Medicine designed a football helmet that would help minimize concussions. “The projects were excellent and the students presented them very well,” states Principal Tim Chadwell. “The Senior Showcase is an exciting event at Southern Hills. I am very proud of our students for the quality of their work. They not only demonstrated skills in the trade area, but also to 21st century skills such as, team work, confidence, and creativity. It is truly the educational experience we want to provide for our students." Mr. Chadwell concluded.
The event would not have been successful without the following volunteer judges: George Germann and Kevin Stricklett of Eastern Kentucky Power Cooperative; Danielle Basford, teacher of the Challenge Program; Shannon Terwilliger of Western Brown High School and Wellington Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine: Tricia Wilson from Forward Edge; Val Lewis of Kelly & Wallace Co., LPA; Bill Williams, Patriot Signs; Tammy Wenninger, Brown County Department of Job and Family Services; Mike Hanselman, retired school teacher from
Western Brown; and Jackie Meranda, RN, from Georgetown. Southern Hills officials praised these volunteers for their commitment to help the youth of Brown and Highland Counties. Southern Hills CTC Senior Showcase After the competition the judges offered these quotes: Kevin Stricklett said, “The use of technology meshed with academics, was well presented by a remarkable group of young adults.” Trisha Wilson stated, “I was very excited to be invited to the event. I thought the kids did an amaz-
ing job. They were well versed, knew their material, made eye contact, and spoke clearly. Honestly, at times it felt more like watching college kids than high school!” Shannon Terwilliger said, “There were some really great projects presented at the 2012 Senior Showcase at Southern Hills. All of the groups did a fantastic job. I was extremely impressed by the sports medicine group and how professionally they presented themselves. I could tell that the boys put a lot of thought into their project. Great job everyone!”

As she sang, photographs of mother’s and daughters flashed on a large screen behind her. “It was very moving to everyone watching Jaymie’s daughter, Hope, sing that song,” Daugherty said. “After a really great lunch cupcakes were served that came from Sugar Cupcakery in Milford. Guest speakers at the event included Dr. Kellie Flood-Schaffer, M.D., an associate professor, division director of General Obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. “Dr. Schaffer talked about and gave the crowd of about 140 vis-
itors, an in depth incite on gynecological cancer,” Daugherty added. “She also talked about how pap tests originated and how far research has come in the last 70 years.” Schaffer explained that gynecologic cancers are malignant tumors that originate from the organs that make up the female reproductive tract. The cancer cells demonstrate the ability to grow uncontrollably and have the potential to proliferate and spread throughout a woman’s body. Representatives from the foundation then donated a check for $2,500 to the Neighborhood Health Care, Inc. Clinic which has 9 locations in the Cincinnati
area. The clinic matched the donation which is enough money to provide 200 free screenings for women in the area. Also speaking at the luncheon was Linda Ellis, author and poet, who talked about her two books, ‘The Dash’ and ‘Live Your Dash’. Ellis stressed living your life and make every moment count. Members of the foundation would like to thank the following supporters of the luncheon: • The Sweet Adelines; • Sheree Paolello • Ellis and Dr. Schaffer; • table sponsors; • everyone who donated to the foundation.

Water at the Rumkpe Landfill in Georgetown will be tested by both Rumpke and the Brown County Health Department beginning in March.
Brown County Board of Health to test water at Rumpke Landfill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 will be $4200.00. Molly Yeager, Spokesperson for Rumpke, said that her company also tests water at the site on a regular basis. “The water in the sediment ponds is visually inspected once a week. Once a month a sample is sent to Test America, an independent lab, for analysis. Those results are then sent directly to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.” Yeager said that water is collected at the landfill in two different ways. Water that is absorbed into and through the garbage down to the bottom is called “leachate”. It is pumped out of the landfill and piped to the Georgetown Water Treatment Plant for treatment and discharge. Water that stays on the surface of the garbage and flows downhill
is captured in sediment ponds. The ponds allow any solids contained in the water to settle before the water is released. Yeager said that anyone with questions about the water testing process or any other concerns
can call Rumpke at 877-7867537. “We have an open door policy”, Yeager said. “Anyone is welcome to call us for answers about anything here at the landfill.”

Elect Marilyn Cluxton Brown County Clerk of Courts Hi, I am Marilyn Cluxton. I am running for the Brown County Clerk of Courts. My name will be on the ballot for the March 6, 2012 Primary election. I have been employed at that office since April 19, 2006. I have a passion for the work that I do daily and enjoy the people I come in contact with on a daily basis. This would be a great opportunity for me. The Clerk of Courts Office, is a keeper of the court records. I will do my best to assure safe keeping of those records. I plan to do some cross training in each office so that each one is familiar with other areas of the other offices. I will strive to assure that each employee has sufficient training in their jobs and be able to do their job as efficiently as possible. I will look into the schools systems for some ways to place a student in our office for training, to help them get their credits and also be able to help the office, without spending much extra money. If need be, I would rather stay an hour or two later one day a week to accommodate those who could not get there before 4:00 p.m. rather than opening the office on Saturday. We would work in rotation and whoever stays late on that day would come in later that morning. That way, there would not be a lot of extra expense involved. As your Brown County Clerk of Courts, I will be in the office working along side of the rest of the employees and be available to the public and citizens of Brown County. The experience and training I have gained in the past almost 6 years, will serve as a valuable asset to the Clerk's Office and also to the citizens of Brown County. I know what it takes to make the office operate in a professional manner, maintain service to the public and a good working relationship with the employees. I value leadership, teamwork, and honesty. I am a strong Christian, have a great love for my family, and have good work ethics! I am not running for the Clerk of Courts just to fill the position, I am qualified for the job and will be in the office to do the job. If experience, dedication, passion for the job, and service to the public are important to you, I will be the candidate of choice in the March 6, Primary election, for Brown County Clerk of Courts. Thank you very much! I have been recommended by the Brown County Republican Party.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He then talked a bit about his family history, including the arrival of his Grandfather from Italy in 1925. Santorum said that Americans today owe a debt of thanks to those who worked hard and sacrificed in the past, saying “I believe this country is great because it was built from the bottom up.” Santorum also spoke about the "flame of freedom", telling the crowd "If we do not win this election in the state of Ohio, I am concerned that flame will diminish to the point that it could be extinguished. You are the epicenter of this election. It is your duty to give us a nominee that can win this election." He wrapped up his remarks, saying “We have a responsibility to each other, in our families and our communities, to keep Brown County free, to keep Georgetown free, and to keep Ohio and America strong and free.” He then waded into the crowd and spent a significant amount of time talking, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Following his remarks, Santorum told the Press "What's not to love (about Brown County)? What a turnout and what enthusiasm." He added "This is our heartland. This is how our values are going to be maintained by having communities like this in a society that's still built from the ground up and that's why I'm focused so much on rebuilding opportunities for the economy to prosper." When asked what a win in the Michigan Primary could do for his campaign, Santorum replied "Hopefully, that'll be a portend for winning in Ohio." The Michigan primary is Feb. 28. Prior to his arrival, Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt said “Rick is a wonderful man and I’ve known him a long time. This is not his first trip to Brown County. He actually came here in 2009 to help with my reelection.” Also attending the dinner was Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine. When asked about the large crowd, he said “It shows the enthusiasm and excitement about Ohio’s role in helping select the

nominee that will make Barack Obama a one term President. I’ve heard that this is the largest crowd ever in this gymnasium and it speaks to the kind of enthusiasm we’re seeing not just in Brown County, but across the state.” State Senate Candidate and Brown County Republican CoChair Paul Hall had similar thoughts. “(The large crowd) tells me that there is still interest in the political process. 750 people are here, they want an alternative to our current President and they want to know more about Rick Santorum.” Prior to Santorum’s arrival the Brown County GOP conducted other business at the Lincoln Day Dinner. Former Brown County Clerk of Courts Tina Meranda was presented the John Donohoo Award for her years of service to Brown County and the Republican Party. An emotional Meranda accepted the award and thanked those assembled for their kind thoughts and words. “I just really want to thank you all”, Meranda told the audience. “I love this country and I love all of you, and thank you for everything you’ve done in the past for

I’m sorry for not finishing my term, but I have to think of myself while I’m getting better for my children.” Brown County Republican Party Co-Chair Mariah Votel said she was proud to present the award to Meranda because of “her long history of public service to the citizens of Brown County.” Following the award, Meranda said “I’m sad that I’m not still in office, but I feel another corner has been turned and I’m looking to get better.” Meranda is currently undergoing cancer treatment. She added “I’m doing better every day. I’m back in a new study and I’m hoping to find a cure.” The Brown County GOP presented the Sequoia Award to Bob and Darlene Hare for their efforts to further the interests of the local GOP over the past year. “The assistance of Bob and Darlene Hare was invaluable this year”, Votel said. “They and people like them truly represent the best that Brown County has to offer.”
The local GOP also introduced political candidates in the March
Primary and November election at the dinner, hearing from all four
candidates for Brown County Clerk of Courts.

Republican Candidtate
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press CINCINNATI-- The Western Brown girls basketball team looked like a team that hadn’t played a basketball game in awhile. After taking a first round bye in the Southwest District Division II sectional, the Lady Broncos opened postseason play against Wyoming at Withrow High school on Wednesday night and, at times, struggled. But just like they had all season long, the Lady Broncos saved their best for when they needed it the most. Having lost a lead they held much of the night to a scrappy Cowboys squad midway through the final period, the Lady Broncos pushed through their struggles and came up with two steals in the final 1:11 that led to four Western Brown points that turned out to be the difference in their 43-40 win. The win advanced the Lady Broncos to the sectional final against Talawanda at Withrow on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. “We’re a very good fourth quarter team. We have been all year,” Western Brown coach Kyle Fender said afterward. “Great conditioning, great mindset on all our kids to be determined to get wins. We just have that never say die attitude. That’s one of our biggest strengths.” Even though they spent most of the night shaking off the rust of not playing in nearly two weeks, the Lady Broncos had done enough to hold a 32-27 lead entering the final quarter after Ty Henry converted a basket in the paint near the end of the third quarter. Much like they had throughout the entire game, the Cowboys answered when the Lady Broncos took the lead. As soon as the final quarter got underway it seemed that the Cowboys were taking the momentum back as they got four shots on their first possession of the quarter but could get none to fall. However, after forcing a Lady Bronco turnover, Cow-

boy guard Mary Tess Irvine hit a long two point jumper on their next possession to cut the Lady Broncos lead to three, 32-29. Teammate Michelle Jolson then stole the ball as the Lady Broncos tried to set up their offense on the next possession and was fouled as she went in for a layup. She hit both free throws to cut the Wyoming deficit to one. Then, after another Western Brown turnover, Jolson drained her first 3-pointer of the evening. Her basket gave the Cowboys a 34-32 lead with 5:12 left in the game. “Wyoming’s a great team. You’ve got to give them credit,” Fender said. “They’re scrappy. They got very hot from the field at certain times. They went on good runs. And I thought they rebounded the ball pretty well.” The Lady Broncos initially answered the Cowboys right back when Delayne Seigla hit a long jumper to tie the game at 34 the next trip down the floor. But Jolson -- who had missed her first two threes of the night and had struggled from the field -- hit her second straight 3-pointer to push Wyoming back on top 37-34 with 4:40 left. She scored a team-best 16 points for Wyoming. “She’s a good player. We knew that coming in,” Fender said of Jolson. “When she gets hot, she’s hard to guard.”
An Irvine free throw pushed the Cowboy lead to four, 38-34, before Morgan Wright hit one of two free throws to cut the deficit back down to three points with 2:47 left. Over the next minute of play the Lady Broncos had opportunities to cut into the lead but committed turnovers on both possessions. They had 22 for the game. The Cowboys took advantage as Clara Rodrigue hit two free throws with 1:48 left to give Wyoming a 40-35 lead. That was when the Lady Broncos stepped up their play. With their season on the brink, Elizabeth Carter quickly cut into the Cowboy lead with driving layup down the lane to cut the Wyoming lead to three. Western Brown then decided to foul as they faced a three point deficit with a minute and a half left. Jolson was sent to the line to shoot free throws but missed the front end of the one and one. Suddenly the Lady Broncos had plenty of time to erase their three point deficit. And they wasted no time doing so as Kylie Garrett was fouled as she drove to the basket and put up a layup. Though the layup nearly rolled in, Garrett hit both free throws to cut the Wyoming lead to 40-39 with 1:23 left. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Late first half 3-pointers change game in Lady Jays win CMYK
WILMINGTON-- For nearly the entire first half of their Southwest District Division III sectional semi-final with Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy last Saturday, the Ripley girls basketball team was losing confidence. Given the Eagles height advantage -- they had three players six foot or taller to Ripley’s one -- and strong zone defense that took advantage of said height, the Lady Jays began to struggle offensively and slowly lose their confidence as the shots they were getting from long distance were off the mark. However, with two and a half minutes left in the first half, the tide began to turn thanks to Lady Jay guards Jaden Royal and Jessica Garrison. The duo combined to hit four 3-pointers in the final 2:30 of the half that not only gave the Lady Jays their confidence back but also took back a lead they would never relinquish as they turned up the intensity in the second half for a 52-38 win at Wilmington High School. The win moved the Lady Jays on to the sectional finals where they took on Georgetown on Thursday night. “Confidence builders,” Ripley coach Chris Coleman said of the four 3-pointers. “They were down. They were really down on themselves but when they hit that and got a (six) point lead going into half, they were fired up and ready to go.” After fighting back to take a lead on a Kody Gilkerson runner at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Jays started to struggle in the second quarter as CHCA began to use their height advantage. Eagles leading scorer and center Morgan Prescott got CHCA their lead back early in the second quarter after she scored in the post on back-toback possessions. The second basket gave the Eagles

a 16-14 lead with 5:34 left before half. Fellow post player Jamie Prop added to the Eagles lead when she hit a baby hook on the block over a much shorter Jaden Royal. Once Marissa Koob hit a free throw the next possession down, the Eagles suddenly had a 19-14 lead with four and a half minutes left in the second quarter. As the Eagles continued to stifle the Lady Jays with their 3-2 zone that had two six footers on the top, they started to get discouraged. “They were frustrated because they couldn’t get anything against that zone,” Coleman said. “I said, ‘Look we’re getting good looks but we’re just not making them. I think they’ll eventually start falling.’ And they did.” It was Jaden Royal who hit the first of the four gamechanging treys when she made her first 3-pointer of the afternoon with 2:30 left in the half to tie the game at 19. Garrison hit her first about a
minute later to give the Lady Jays a 22-19 lead. Koob quickly stopped the Lady Jay momentum after she nailed a 3-pointer of her own off an inbounds play to tie the game at 22 with 57 seconds left in the half. But Jaden Royal and Garrison each hit another 3pointer in the final minute to push Ripley out to a six point lead, 28-22, at half. The baskets seemed to be the remedy to the Lady Jays problems. Though the Eagles came out of the locker room and battled, it seemed as if the Lady Jays were in control from that point. They showed they were in control after the Eagles got within three points about midway through the third quarter. Lydia Hamilton -- who battled foul trouble all game long -- answered Emily Turner’s two free throws for CHCA with a lay in off a Garrison assist to put the Lady Jays up five. After an Eagles turnover --

Finally, after Tori Boone stole an Eagles pass as they tried to beat the Lady Jays pressure, Niya Royal hit another pull-up jumper. Her basket gave Ripley a 39-28 lead with 1:16 left in the quarter. While they were running strong offensive sets when they had to, the Lady Jays were turning the game in their favor because of their defense. They forced the Eagles into 11 second half turnovers. “We’re not going to go out and outscore people,” Coleman said. “We’ve gotta defend. It helps our offense out when we can get turnovers.” It was much of the same in
Defense, rebounding help push Lady Rockets past Waynesville
CMYK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press WILMINGTON-- The Fayetteville girls basketball team played their best last Saturday afternoon in the Southwest District Division III sectional semi-finals against Waynesville at the most important times. Thanks to a strong defensive performance -- particularly in the first and fourth quarters where they gave up a combined six points -- the Lady Rockets jumped on the Lady Spartans for a big early lead and closed them out to the tune of 19-2 in the final eight minutes as they earned a 56-27 victory at Wilmington High School that moved them on to the sectional finals. The Lady Rockets played Greeneview on Thursday night to determine the sectional champion. Among the many things the Lady Rockets did well last Saturday, their defensive performance stood out as the best as they never let the Lady Spartans find any sort of offensive rhythm “You’ve got to be happy with that,” Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets said of his team’s defensive effort. “I’d take keeping someone under 40 to tell you the truth or keeping them under what we have. But our defense, with Makayla (Rosselot) pressuring up top (and) as long as she doesn’t foul, that’s major. Normally you get the ball in the hands of who they want it in (but) if you get it out of that person’s hands good things will happen.” The Lady Rockets burst out of the gate thanks to a combination of defense and rebounding. As they forced the Lady Spartans into missed shots and five turnovers in the opening quarter, the Lady Rockets were able to jump out to a big lead by hitting the offensive glass. When Brianna Plapp grabbed an offensive rebound and layed the ball back in to give the Lady Rockets a 5-2 lead two and a half minutes into the game, she kicked off a streak of four

straight Fayetteville possessions that ended with a basket off of an offensive rebound. By the time Megan Eyre hit a 3-pointer on a possession that saw the Lady Rockets grabbed two offensive rebounds with 2:54 left in the opening stanza, they had built a 13-2 lead. The Lady Rockets grabbed 49 rebounds -- 17 on the offensive end -- in the game. “You’ve got to crash the boards. We knew we had a bit of a height advantage. We worked on it a lot this week,” Sheets said. “Even though they’re shorter, that doesn’t mean they can’t outrebound you. We didn’t just want to settle for just trying to be...for being taller. We worked on position and rebounding and it showed I thought.” With their deficit being 236 early in the second quarter, the Lady Spartans started to hit a few shots. Ali Caplinger hit two 3pointers midway through the second quarter to bring Waynesville within 28-12. A Katelyn Danner layup late in the first half cut the Lady Rockets lead to 29-16
at the half. Not much changed as the teams came out of the locker room and the Lady Spartans continued to battle their way back into the game. As their strong pressure defense slowed the Lady Rockets down, the Lady Spartans cut the lead down to eight, 29-21, after Danner stole a Fayetteville pass and went in for a layup as she was fouled. She made the foul shot to complete the three point play. Carly Burroughs answered with a lay in for the Lady Rockets before Jessica Klan hit an off balance jumper to cut the lead to eight again, 33-25, with 3:11 left in the third quarter. “We knew it would be a battle,” Sheets said. “Their defense is going to be intense. They always play good ‘D’.” That would be as close as the Lady Rockets would allow their counterparts from Waynesville to get. Two baskets from Rosselot -- who scored a game-high 18 hard fought points as she attacked the Lady Spartans pressure defense -- near the end of the
third quarter pushed the Lady Rocket lead to 12, 37-25, as the fourth quarter got underway. Though Waynesville’s Abby Search got the Lady Spartans on the board first in the final quarter on a lay in off an inbounds play with 6:50 left, that would be the final time they would light up the scoreboard. A Rosselot 3-pointer on the next trip down the floor kicked off what would be a 19-2 Lady Rocket run to end the game. The final 6:50 of the game was a combination of everything the Lady Rockets had done well to that point. They scored on transition off turnovers, off of offensive rebounds and were able to run their offense as they finished off the Lady Spartans for the win. Eyre added 13 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in the win. Ashley Scoggins scored eight points and grabbed nine rebounds while Carly Burroughs scored seven points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Plapp also grabbed 11 rebounds despite battling a nagging hand injury. “It was a great team effort,” Sheets said. “I thought everybody contributed a lot. Not just a little (but) a lot.” With the win the Lady Rockets advanced to face a talented Greeneview squad on Thursday night for the sectional championship game. The Lady Rams are led by sophomore guard Ashton Lovely, who scored 45 points in their 81-56 semi-final win over Williamsburg last Saturday.

the final quarter for the Lady Jays. Their defensive pressure kept the Eagles off the mark and their offense continued to click. In those final eight minutes the Lady Jays began to attack the Eagles height. A Gilkerson layup off an inbounds got the Lady Jays going in the final quarter and put them up 10, 41-31. Each and every Lady Jay who played in the game last Saturday did something to help earn the win but the Lady Jays two post players -Hamilton and Boone -played very well against the big Eagle post players. It was Hamilton -- who scored a team-best 12 points and grabbed six rebounds -and Boone -- who scored six points to go along with nine rebounds -- who helped put away the Eagles. Two free throws from Hamilton kicked off a 11-1 run that sealed the win. Boone scored the final four points of the run off a move on the block for a lay in and two free throws. The Lady Jays post duo also helped limit Prescott and Prop -- though both got double-doubles, they did not quite meet their season aver-
ages . “I thought we did a decent job, especially on Prescott,” Coleman said. “She was the animal the two games we (saw) her.” Up next for the Lady Jays is a rematch with county foe Georgetown in the sectional final on Thursday night. The Lady G-Men won the teams regular season matchup 5339. Ripley is looking for that elusive sectional title. “I told the girls down there, our girls program hasn’t won a sectional title in 19 years,” Coleman said. “We got a shot at it and that’s all we can ask for.” Niva Royal added 11 points while Garrison chipped in with nine, Gilkerson with eight and Jaden Royal with six.

Lady Broncos: Defense comes up big in win CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 As the Cowboys tried to inbound against the Lady Broncos full court pressure, Henry made a play. She got a piece of the inbounds pass, corralled the loose ball from the floor and found Seigla, who then layed the ball in to give the Lady Broncos a 41-40 lead with 1:11 left. Despite all the confusion going on around them, Henry and Seigla took the time to convert the go-ahead basket. “W e have a very intelligent team,” Fender said. “That shows down the stretch. We make smart decisions and we’re composed.” After Wyoming called timeout to set up a play with less than a minute left, another Lady Bronco stepped up and made a big play. Hannah Wiesenhahn, after the Cowboys inbounded the ball, stole it from Jolson and headed the other way. The big defensive play allowed the Lady Broncos to cut 3 0 seconds off the clock before Henry stepped up and made two free throws to push the lead to 43-40 with 23.1 seconds left. “She’s such a good defender,” Fender said of Wiesenhahn. “She’s got a great wingspan and good mind for the game. She reads the game well and she’s able to jump in passing lanes frequently.” However, the Lady Broncos hadn’t quite wrapped up the victory after Henry’s free throws.
A Jolson 3-pointer was off the mark in the final seconds before Kathryn Policastro missed a putback as the buzzer sounded for the Lady Broncos win. “We’ve listened and we’ve executed better as the year went on,” Fender said. “I think that’s why -- one of the reasons -- were able to be successful in tight games.” After a very sluggish first quarter that saw the team’s combined turnovers (13) nearly double the combined po ints (7), the Lady Broncos got some breathing room. Feeding off their defense midway through the quarter, the Lady Broncos scored nine straight points -- seven from Garrett -- to take an 188 lead. Just like they did later in the game, the Cowboys responded with a 9-1 run to end the half and cut the Western Brown to 19-17 as they set up the eventful second half. Garrett scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the win while Henry scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Seigla chipped in with nine points.

The Lady G-Men advance to sectional final against another familiar foe -- Ripley BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T
WILMINGTON-- At a certain point -- after playing the same team so many times -there becomes a point where each team knows pretty much everything there is to know about the other. So when two teams get together three times in a season -- like the Georgetown girls basketball team had with East Clinton -- it simply comes down to who executes better. Though in a way different from their first two wins over East Clinton, the Lady G-Men defeated the Lady Astros 5331 last Saturday afternoon in the semi-finals of the Southwest District Division III sectional at Wilmington High School thanks to a strong defensive effort that held off the Lady Astros much of the night. “I thought our defense was consistent all night. That was the key to it to come out and really try to pressure them and do a good job of extending our defense so they couldn't throw to their post people,” Georgetown coach Bernie Cropper said. “We pushed them out on the floor pretty well and did a good job boxing out.” With their familiarity with one another, it was tough sledding for both teams in the early going. Though it was a slower paced game early on, the Lady G-Men were able to work it to their advantage thanks to their defense. Other than an Amber Ostrander jumper less than a minute into the game, the Lady Astros did not score in the opening quarter. That allowed the Lady GMen to take advantage of their strong defensive play to take control right away.

Casey Carter shoots a jumper in the first half of Georgetown’s sectional win over East Clinton last Saturday afternoon.
Jesse Kidwell’s jumper with 6:45 left in the opening stanza kicked off what would be nine straight Lady G-Men points. By the time Megan Hatfield hit a pull-up jumper with a little over six seconds left in the first quarter, the Lady GMen had jumped on top 11-2. Scoring was just as hard to come by in the second quarter but the Lady Astros were finally able to convert some on the offensive end. Less than a minute into the quarter Beth Spurlock hit a 3-pointer for the Lady Astros to cut their deficit to 11-5 before Kidwell and Casey Carter -- in her second game back after missing eight with an injury to a bone on her non-shooting left hand -pushed the Lady G-Men to a 10 point lead. With two starters on the bench, Kidwell helped the Lady G-Men stay in front at the break. She scored eight points in
the final 4:25 of the half to push Georgetown to a 23-11 lead going into the locker room. Kidwell scored 12 of her 17 points in the first two quarters. “Jesse’s had a great year,” Cropper said. “She had another big night shooting the ball. I thought she played good defensively also.” As the second half got underway, the Lady G-Men seemingly put the game away. The Lady G-Men scored the first five points to open the half on two free throws from Carter, a fast break layup for Kidwell and a Mackenzi Carrington free throw to push their lead to 17 just a minute and a half in. After Beth Huffman hit a runner in the lane for East Clinton, Hatfield answered with a pull-up jumper and Carter hit a 3-pointer off a nice inside/out game with Hannah Jones. The Lady GMen were quickly up 33-13
after the baskets with 4:07 left in the quarter. Another big run, this one a 10-0 spurt, pushed the Lady G-Men to an insurmountable advantage. Baskets from Hatfield and Morgan Gast were sandwiched between 3-pointers by Carter and Kidwell that put the Lady G-Men on top 43-15 with 1:46 left in the quarter. The Lady G-Men scored 20 points in the third quarter by getting out and running. “In the second half we got down the floor and got some threes in transition,” Cropper said. “And then you get the easy shots in transition and knock them down and it makes things a lot easier.” The Lady Astros scored the first seven points of the final quarter but never got closer than the 19 point deficit they faced, 45-26, when Ostrander hit a long jumper with 4:57 left. Four straight points from Carrington helped the Lady G-Men back to a 23 point lead as the bench players got the chance to close the Lady Astros out for the third time this season. “It’s just part of this time of year. You’re going to be playing people again -- in this case for the third time,” Cropper said of playing a familiar foe. “I guess you’d rather play some, maybe, different faces but that’s just how it is.” Carter added 14 points in the win for the Lady G-Men. Another familiar foe awaits the Lady G-Men in the sectional finals. The Lady G-Men will battle Ripley in an all Brown County affair for the second time this season. They won the first contest 53-39. “It’s going to be a great basketball game. They’re a very good team, a well coached basketball team,” Cropper said of Ripley. “They’re a talented team. It’s going to be a major battle for us.” Georgetown (20-2) 53 Carter 5 2 14, Kidwell 7 0 17, Whitaker 1 0 2, Pack 1 1 3, Carrington 1 3 5, Hatfield 3 0 6, Gast 2 0 4, Sullivan 1 0 2. Totals: 21 6 53.

High school basketball sectional and regular season roundup shot in the second half. They made just three field goals in the final 16 minutes. Meanwhile, Adena caught fire in the fourth quarter and was aided by the Lady Warriors having to foul late as they were trailing. Allison Prine led the way for the Lady Warriors with 18 points and Tressie Lewis added nine points. Hurting the Lady Warriors cause was an injury suffered by freshman center Kayla Seigla midway through the third quarter. She sprained her ankle and wasn’t able to play for the rest of the game. With Seigla out Adena post player Alyssa Dawson scored e ight of her 10 points in the fourth quarter to help seal the win. “They were big inside and without one of our post players it just was not a good result,” Burrows said.
Given that Prine was their only returning player with much experience, the Lady Warriors had a solid season that included a surprising 94 finish in the Southern Hills League. They finished tied with Lynchburg-Clay for second behind Div ision I champion North Adams. “We probably finished better than anybody thought we would with losing all that we did,” Burrows said. Boys basketball Eastern boys wrap up SHL crown with 15 straight win With their 69-47 win over Lynchburg-Clay last Friday night, the Warriors not only secured their 15th straight win to close out the regular season but, coupled with a Peebles loss to North Adams the same night, clinched the outright Southern Hills League Division I
title. It was a gratifying result considering the difficulties the Warriors (16-4, 11-2 SHL) face d as they opened the season 1-4. “It was kind of a situation where we were very pleased to dig ourselves out of,” Eastern coach Rob Beucler said. Against the Mustangs the Warriors were able to pull out a win by just wearing them down quarter by quarter. “We just kept playing a littler better,” Beucler said. “(Our) depth played a part. We do play quite a few players.” The Mustangs opened the game on fire f rom the field and the Warriors led by just six points at halftime. Then, after the break, they were able to steadily put Lynchburg away.
It was a balanced scoring attack for the Warriors as five players found double figures in the scoring column, led by Chase Lawson’s 20 points. Jordan Payne added 12 while Conner Purdin, Nathan Scott and Riley Prine scored 10 apiece. “We played well that way,” Beucler said of their balance scoring. “Big team effort.” Fayetteville ends regular season on high note The Rockets finished their regular season on a high note last Friday night when they beat Whiteoak 55-43 in a Division II Southern Hills League battle. “We played a little defense and (were) able to score,” Fayetteville coach Darryl Iles said. “I think a majority of it was we played as a team.” Thanks to a quick star t --
they jumped on the Wildcats 10-8 in the first quarter -- the Rockets (6-14, 3-10 SHL) were on top for much of the game and closed them out at the free throw stripe. Sophomore guard D.J. Iles hit 8-8 free throws in the final quarter to seal the win. He scored a game-best 24 points in the win to go along with five assists and six steals. Trevor Clark added 12 points. “It the gave the kids some energy,” Iles said of the regular season ending win. “It’s a good way to close.” The Rockets will open postseason play this Saturday when they take on a two win Seven Hills squad at Oak Hills High School at 5:30 p.m. Iles said that Seven Hills is better than their 2-15 record would indicate.

Girls basketball Adena ends Eastern’s season with big final quarter The Lady Warriors put up a strong fight against No. 1 seed Adena in the Southeast District Division III sectional final at Valley High School in Lucasville last Saturday but came up on the wrong end of a 57-36 score. With the loss the Lady Warriors ended their season at 12-10. “It went pretty well for three quarters,” Eastern coach John Burrows said. “We were down two at the end of the second quarter. (But) in the second half we didn’t hit many shots. In the fourth quarter they were 7-7 from the field and 8-8 from the free throw line.” Though they battled throughout, the Lady Warriors just couldn’t find their

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press The Ripley boys basketball team is in a pretty good spot as they head into tournament play. Thanks to an 82-53 win over Southern Hills League rival Manchester last Friday night in their regular season finale, the Blue Jays had finished their season with eight straight wins and wrapped up the SHL Division II title. A big factor in the Blue Jays strong finish to the season was their improved defensive play. In their final eight games of the season they held their opponents to 57 points or less. In their win over the Greyhounds on senior night, the Blue Jays were able to turn an early deficit into a blowout win thanks to a strong defensive effort that helped them overcome a sluggish shooting start. “Our defense,” Ripley guard Jordan Mitchell said of what turned the game around. “We got a bunch of steals and got out running the ball and just got open shots in transition.” After a slow start that saw them miss eight of their first nine shots as Manchester jumped out to a 9-3 lead, the Blue Jays used their defense to ignite a turnaround. Mitchell closed the Ripley deficit to one, 11-10, after he finished a layup off a steal before teammate Logan Perkins gave the Blue Jays their first lead of the night the next possession down when he converted a hard drive to the basket.

Jordan Mitchell, shown here in the Blue Jays first matchup with Manchester on Dec. 13, led the way with 26 points in Ripley’s regular season finale win over the Greyhounds.
The final minute of the opening quarter was a whirlwind of activity on both ends of the floor but the Blue Jays were able to end the quarter with a 20-16 lead thanks to two Mitchell 3-pointers. As the second quarter got underway the Blue Jays continued to widen their lead as they started to dominate the boards. Michael Haley pushed the hosts on top by six once he hit two free throws after he was fouled on a putback off an offensive rebound. Another offensive rebound and putback, this one by Donte Bennett, kept the Blue Jays up six, 24-18, a minute and a half into the quarter. The Blue Jays were able to hold their own on the
glass thanks to a team rebounding effort. They grabbed 14 offensive rebounds, including six by their guards. “We’ve worked at it for the last couple weeks pretty heavily, crashing the boards and boxing out” Ripley coach Marty Adams said. “Even our small guys are doing the things. If nobody gets a body on them they’re going to boards hard. Gage (Bradford), Donte and the smaller guys.” It was at that point that the Blue Jays started to find their stroke. Seven quick points suddenly pushed their lead to 31-18 after Mitchell hit a long jumper off an offensive rebound with 3:52 left before half. Travis Combs tried to keep the Greyhound within

Led by Latham, WB grapplers have strong sectional showing Coming off a strong showing in the Southern Buckeye Conference Tournament, the Western Brown wrestling team showed well at the Southwest District Division II wrestling sectional last Friday and Saturday as they finished fourth as a team and had six wrestlers place and advance to the district tournament. The Broncos, who hosted the sectional at Western Brown High School, finished with 131 points. They finished behind SBC American Division mates New Richmond -- who won the sectional with 290 points -- and Bethel-Tate. Wyoming was third. “We wrestled well,” Western Brown coach Wendel Donathan said in an email. Leading the way for the Broncos again was Jake Latham. The senior won his third straight tournament in the 138 lb. weight class after going 3-0 and pinning New Richmond’s Robbie Lemar in the third period of their championship match. Latham has not lost a match since going undefeated and winning the Batavia Invitation on Feb. 4. “He is wrestling really well right now,” Donathan said in the email. His win advanced him to the Southwest District Tournament at Goshen this Friday and Saturday. Several of his Western Brown teammates joined Latham in Goshen this weekend for the district tournament after solid showings in the sectional. Tyler Adkins and Payton Bailey -- who has wrestled well since returning from an injury that sidelined him for over a month of the season -- advanced by finishing as runner-up in their respective weight classes. In the 106 lb. weight class Adkins lost a close decision to New Richmond’s A.J. Rostetter in the

title match while Bailey fell to Bethel’s Jon Ward in the final. “Tyler Adkins has done well since Batavia and has placed in the last three events,” Donathan said in the email. “Payton Bailey continues to surprise, placing again for the third week in a row.” Blake Silvis (126 lb.) and Andy Wallace (182 lb.) finished in third place for the Broncos. Both lost in the semi-finals against opponents they wrestled against at the SBC Tournament. Silvis only loss on the day was to New Richmond’s Cody Gabelman, who won the weight class. Silvis beat him in the finals at the SBC meet. For the second week in a row Wallace had to battle Goshen’s Chaz Gresham, the undefeated defending
state champion. He came up short -- it was his only loss on the day -- against the eventual weight class champ. The final Bronco grappler who advanced to districts was a bit of a surprise. Freshman Cody Wilson, who won a wrestle off to be able to compete in the 220 lb. weight class at the sectional, finished fourth as he went 2-2 on the day. He had been just 3-6 coming into the sectional. Two Broncos finished just outside of a top four finish. Kenon Bowling (145 lbs.) and Luke White (285 lbs.) each earned fifth place finishes and are alternates to participate in the district meet if one of the top four in their weight class is unable to wrestle.
striking distance after he converted a cutting layup to cut the Manchester deficit to 11 but then Mitchell took over. The senior guard hit three 3-pointers on three straight possessions to help Ripley to a 42-22 halftime lead. He scored 22 of his game-high 26 points in the first half. “I just made a couple in a row and I just kept going at it,” Mitchell said of the 3pointers. “They just kept leaving me open so I kept shooting.” The Blue Jays came out of the locker room firing as they looked to put the game away. A Riley Saelens 3-pointer started the Blue Jays on a 14-0 spurt to open the second half. No one taking a shot in a Ripley jersey could miss as the half got underway. Saelens hit two 3-pointers during the run while Perkins and Gage Bradford each hit one. By the time Bradford's 3pointer had sailed through the net with 5:08 left in the third quarter, the Blue Jays lead had ballooned to 5622. “We’ve had some let downs after having some decent sized leads and I told them we can’t let down
and we’ve got to play the way that got us the lead and keep that up and they did,” Adams said. “We’ve got to come up with big defensive rebounds and that ended up in some big shots on the other end.” Even with the big lead the Blue Jays kept the pressure on their visitors. By the time Perkins layed the ball in off a Haley dish to open the final quarter, the Blue Jays had built a 63-38 lead. The Greyhounds kept fighting, led by Combs, as the clock wore down. A layup and two free throws by Combs got the Ripley lead down to 19, 6546, with 5:39 left before the Blue Jays put the Greyhounds away for good. In his final home game at Ripley, Perkins hit a 3pointer and a layup to push their lead back to 22, 7048, as the Blue Jays found their rhythm again and rolled to the win that clinched the first ever River City Classic between the two schools located on the Ohio River. “It was probably the best all around team game we’ve played all year on both ends of the floor,” Adams said. “Everybody did a lot of good things tonight. Everybody that saw the floor did about everything
they did well. I don’t know if anybody could have beat us tonight the way we shot the ball, rebounded the ball and played defense.” Heading into their sectional opener against Mariemont on Friday night at Western Brown, the Blue Jays are confident about how they are playing. “We’re playing well as a team,” Mitchell said. “We’re passing the ball (and) everybody's scoring. It’s not just down to one person shooting the ball all the time.” Perkins scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds while classmates Bradford added 12 points, Saelens 10 points and Haley five points and nine rebounds in their final home game.

Creature Feature The most important thing you can do to end animal suffering It was a typical weekday morning at the hospital until we heard the thump outside. A cardboard box had landed in our driveway, apparently thrown from a moving vehicle. As it skipped across the pavement, five threeweek-old kittens tumbled out. By the time we reached them, three were struggling to crawl, one was paralyzed, and another’s tiny head was crushed. We could not save the two injured kittens, but the three shivering survivors were treated at our hospital and literally nursed back to health with a bottle. This story is not unusual. We have all heard about the cat abandoned in a dumpster or the dog left to die by the side of a road. Overpopulation remains a heartbreaking problem. In seven years, one can cat can multiply to 420,000 over just two generations. It’s no wonder that 6 million cats are euthanized each year in the U.S. There could never be enough homes and shelters for them all. Strays lead miserable lives, plagued by disease, starvation, exposure, vehicle hits, and attacks by other animals. They are also a major public nuisance, causing property damage, injury to humans, and the death of livestock and family pets. In addition, local governments spend millions each year to impound and euthanize homeless animals. We must keep in mind that animals can reproduce at an exponentially higher rate than humans. Dogs can have two litters a year with an average of six to nine puppies in each. Cats can produce three litters a year with about four kittens in each. For every person born in the U.S., 15 dogs and 45 cats are born. My colleagues and I ardently believe that most dogs and cats should be spayed or neutered. Animal shelters are full of adoptable pets with nowhere to go, the result of

accidental or poorly planned breeding. Some owners might be lucky enough to find good homes for unwanted litters, but that doesn’t help the animals already in shelters. In fact, it reduces the number of potential adoptive families. Simply put, the most important thing you can do to prevent animal suffering is to have all your pets spayed or neutered. Very seldom is there such a simple solution to a widespread social problem. Let’s seize this opportunity to do a tremendous amount of good with very little effort. Spaying and neutering do not cause your pet to
become fat and lazy. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Obesity and laziness are the result of overfeeding and inadequate exercise. Your pet’s personality will not be negatively affected. Aggression and other unwanted behaviors are not the result of surgery. In fact, male dogs and cats usually become more affectionate and less likely to roam outdoors. The surgery poses minimal risk to healthy animals. Most pets go home the same day and experience very little pain. The best age to spay or neuter is three to six months, although even senior pets can be safely altered with the proper precautions.

Edibles for the Home Landscape
Taking charge of weeds in Winter
BY Faye Mahaffey The Master Gardner
Controlling Problem Weeds I have talked about problem weeds in this article before. Some of the weeds that continue to show up in greater numbers in fence rows, around the edges of streams, around buildings and now further and further out into our hay fields and sometimes pastures can be controlled now, or very soon. Some of the weeds that I am thinking of are Poison Hemlock and Canada Thistle. One of the better times to control these is late winter or early spring. We have had a mild enough winter that these weeds are probably easy to find right now. I know Poison Hemlock is green and growing along some of the county roads that I drive on a routine basis. This stuff should be easy to spot right now. Controlling it is an option with several products including 2,4D or crossbow. With the warm days that we have had recently, pick a warm day with no wind and spot spray some of the problem areas. This is a plant that gets pretty tall, maybe 6 or 7 feet tall, with white flowers by mid-May. This is something that one application will be a good start. One application will not solve the problem completely. This may take a few years with the number of seeds that is produced by a single plant. Keep in mind that some products do have carry over, so depending on what you want to grow in that area might need re-seeded. Read the label on the product you use and check in the OSU Weed Control Guide for more details. Another advantage to make applications soon is you will have less risk for drift issues. Most of these products are not good in areas that produce vegetable plants, tobacco plants, grapes or other desirable broadleaf plants. Canada Thistle, like Poison Hemlock, often appears in
Last week I shared some ideas for incorporating food-producing plants into an existing landscape. Ohio State University Extension Fact sheet HYG1255-02 (Edible Landscaping), informs gardeners of unique ways to get started: • Put pots of herbs on the patio. • Include cherry tomatoes in a window box or hanging basket. • Build a grape arbor. • Grow nasturtium, violas, borage, or calendula and include flowers in salads. • Eat your daylilies. • Plant a fruit tree in the corner of your yard. • Grow Red-jewel Cabbage. • Plant colorful pepper varieties alongside flowers. • Tuck lettuce, radishes, or other short-lived greens into a flower bed. • Replace a barberry hedge with gooseberries. • Put basil together with coleus in a planter. •Try yellow or “rainbow” Swiss chard • Grow chives around the mailbox. • Train raspberries up your fence. Like all plants used in the landscape, edible plants grow best in certain conditions. Many

(but not all!) fruits and vegetables do best where they receive at least 6 hours of full sunlight a day. Most also like well-drained soil. Parts of your yard that satisfy these conditions are good places to start an edible landscape. To start simply, consider a one-for-one substitution. Where you might have planted a shade tree, plant a fruit tree. Where you need a deciduous shrub, plant a currant or hazelnut. Where you have always had chrysanthemums, plant bachelor’s buttons – you can eat them! Here is a suggested plant list from Sue Trusty, Horticulturist: (thetrustygardener.com) Trees – Almond, Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Chestnut, Crabapple, Dogwood, Fig, Ginkgo, Juneberry, Mulberry, Peach, Pear, Persimmon, Plum and Walnut. Shrubs – Blackberry, Blueberry, Chokecherry, Currant, Elerberry, Gooseberry, Pawpaw, Quince, Raspberry, Rose and Rose of Sharon Perennials – Asparagus, Bamboo, Herbs, Rhubarb, Strawberries Vines – Grape, Hops, Hyacinth Bean Vine, Kiwi, Malabar Spinach, Passion Flower, Scarlet Runner Bean, and Sugar Snap Peas. Ground Covers – Bunchberry, Chamomile, Mints, Ramps, Strawberry, and Violets.
10 Best Herbs – Basil, Cilantro, Chives, Dill, Fennel, Oregano and Marjoram, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Salad Burnet, and Thyme 10 Best Edible Flowers – Anise Hyssop, Bachelors Buttons, Bee Balm, Borage, Calendula, Daylily, Hibiscus, Nasturtium, Pansy and Viola, Pole bean, and Salvia. OSUE Fact Sheet HYG1255-02 also includes a suggested plant list for most Ohio conditions and an illustration of how a small area, about 25 by 25 feet, can be planted almost entirely with edibles that have ornamental value and appear to be a decorative garden. Interested in learning how to start seeds for your garden? Plan to attend the free informational seminar, “Starting Seeds”, being presented by Brown County Master Gardeners on February 23, at the Fincastle campus of Southern State College. Seminars are held in the library, 6 until 7:30 p.m. The Master Gardener Volunteer Training Classes have been postponed until the fall, due to the small number of people who signed up to attend. We are looking at the calendar and contacting speakers and will share the class schedule as soon as possible. Have you ordered your “special” seeds yet? My list is finalized and ready to mail!

DAVID DUGAN patches. Once this plant begins to green up, applications can be successful at reducing the amount of weeds. Glyphosate can be used, too. Some recommendations for using glyphosate is to wait until the thistle begins to flower. What I have mentioned above is more for spot spray applications. If fields are beyond a spot application, an application of some other products might be in order. In grass hay fields and pastures, products are available to control many of the problem broadleaf weeds. There are pre-cautions with these products. The use of these products should be done with a complete understanding of the pre-cautions. Rotation from a treated area to an untreated area can cause issues. The use of the manure from livestock on a untreated area, or an area that might be used to produce a sensitive crop could result in damage to the crops. Estate Planning Workshop in the Works I have had several inquire about Estate Planning in the past few months. OSU Extension has offered workshops on this important subject several times in the past few years. I am currently working on a workshop that I hope to be able to offer this summer. The time frame I am working on is late June/early July. Hopefully planting is done and hay is made by this time. I will have more details in the coming weeks.

Red Oak happenings this week Happy birthday to Cassandra M. Starrett, Steve Swearengin, Tommy Ramsey, Minnie Stallard, Linda Frankie Shelton , Kain G.S. Girsovich, Dolores Pelletier, Linda Franke Shelton, Deron Johnson, Zack Zimmerman, Katrina Ernst Wagoner. *** Happy Anniversary to Patty and Danny Hardyman, Lori A. and David E. Wirth. *** Well, this evening I am in kind of a state of attitude of wonderment. I was part of a group of people that extended an i nvitation to friends and family members and members of the community to “Come and Dine” at the Decatur Methodist Church. This was an Italian meal prepared by the new pastor and his wife, as a “meet and greet meal”, all with no strings attached. I myself invited a total of over 50 family representatives. When Shirley and I arrived, a few minutes late, we were cordially greeted by Pastor Richard Helms and his wife Grace, and a few members of the church, and a beautifully decorated fellowship room filled with the wonderful aroma of an Italian meal, but not any of the ones I had invited nor any of the ones the church members had invited. It is a mystery, a great mystery. How can something like that hap-
RED OAK NEWS
MARY HOWLETTE pen-a feast lovingly prepared yet no one came-oh well, that does sound quite familiar does it not just li ke the parable straight from Luke 14:16. Anyway, besides the food being great and the conversation good I am looking forward to the next meal. *** By the way, it was through answering an invitation that Shirley and I met Pastor Rick and his wife Grace and started attending his Thursday morning 11 a.m. Bible Study and enjoying the lunch he prepares each week. Fed on the Word and then fed a wonderful lunch-cannot get any better than that! And you are invited to join this Thursday morning feast at the Decatur Methodist Church at 11 a.m. each week. *** Dolores Theaders Pelletier, my friend, mentor, confidant February 25, 1928 to October 16, 2009. Thank you for touching my heart! Dolores’s family history is one of many family histories printed in the new Ripley History book available at the
Union Township Library. *** On Saturday, March 24 a Dinner Theater will be presented at the RULH High School. Tickets for this historic event are limited. Denise Bracco is the ticket agent and can be contacted at 937-392-0500. *** My week had a good and pleasing event as I was driver and chaperone for Miss Hallie, Bobbie Jo, Rose, and Carter as we celebrated Hallie and Bobbie Jo’s birthdays. Miss Hallie also was one of the approx imately 80 members of the new 2012 4H year enjoying a sign-up skating party for the Red Oak Ranchers 4-H club; to become a member of this club call Marilyn or Tom Cluxton. *** Please continue to remember in prayer little Drew Baughey, son of Rachael and Todd Cluxton. *** Berta Snider Moffett sent me a press release this week saying,” after 17 years working with the Happy Community Stitcher’s I decided to relin quish it to Jean Dean of the Georgetown Church of Christ. I would like to thank all who helped us out. May God Bless each and every one of you. Berta Moffett.
