Judge removes limits on Moler Raceway BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press A judge has ruled that Moler Raceway Park in Sterling Township is not a nuisance, ending restrictions at the racetrack. Judge W. Richard Walton wrote in his May 3 ruling that “The court finds that the operation of the defendants’ race track is not a nuisance per se” and “The court finds that acts constituting a nuisance have not been proven by clear and convincing evidence.” Regarding the ruling, Kim Moler said there were no immediate plans for expansion at the track. “Our plan for now is to continue to operate as we have been”, she said. She added “We’re thankful that we got the ruling we should have gotten in the first place.” The case was tried before Walton in May of 2010.
Wayne Gates/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
All restrictions on racing hours and operations at Moler Raceway Park have been removed by a judges ruling.
Last September, the Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals reversed a June 2010 decision by Walton to order restrictions on the racetrack after neighbors filed a civil
suit based on noise and nuisance complaints. Walton had ruled that the Moler Raceway may only allow racing on Friday nights CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Ohio Supreme Court to take up ‘Brown County Five’ appeal BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio Supreme Court has decided to take up the appeal of five current and former Ohio Devision of Wildlife employees. The five are Former Ohio Division of Wildlife Chief David Graham, Former ODOW Assistant Chief Randy Miller, ODOW Chief Law Enforcement Officer James Lehman, ODOW Human Resources Officer Michelle Ward-Tackett and ODOW Division Five Supervisor Todd Haines. Their case was appealed on Feb. 27 to the Ohio Supreme Court, and the court decided on May 9 to review the case. Briefs will now be re-

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Over 200 people attended the Brown County Chamber of Commerce Spring Recognition Dinner on May 7. Local officials, chamber members, family and friends were there to celebrate the achievements of the winners of the Pioneer, Horizon and Businesswoman of the Year awards. Paul Hall was awarded the Pioneer Award, which the Chamber gives to honor an individual or organization who displays exemplary commitment to economic development. Hall was chosen for his development of several businesses in Mt. Orab.

ment status on Nov. 19, 2010. The charges stem from an administrative investigation into the actions of Wildlife Officer Allan Wright, who pleaded guilty Feb. 24 to federal charges of violating the Lacey Act, which regulates wildlife. The five were the direct supervisors of Wright. Wright admitted to allowing South Carolina Wildlife Officer Eric Vaughn to use his Ohio address to obtain a resident Ohio hunting license instead of having to pay for a more expensive out of state license. Doing so made Wright guilty of falsifying official state records. The five are accused of CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

The five are currently facing Obstruction of Justice and Complicity of Obstruction of Justice charges in Brown County, filed against them in April of 2010. Haines and Ward-Tackett are still employed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife, and are currently on paid administrative leave. Lehman, Graham and Miller have retired from the Division of Wildlife. The five were originally placed on paid administrative leave in April of 2010 and returned to full employ-
The Village of Georgetown is seeking to reestablish an agreement with Clermont County to perform building inspection services. Council voted to seek the agreement during a special meeting on May 7. Clermont County performed the service for the village between 2000 and 2008. If an agreement can be reached, the permitting process can continue for local businesses, but for now all permits are on hold. Georgetown Village Administrator Kelly Jones said several projects are on hold
within the village due to the action by council. "All current and future permits and inspections are on hold at this time," Jones said. "Santoro is referring all permit questions, requests to me at this time. I've had conversations with people who are in the permit process or have begun the permit process, so basically everything has stopped." The Georgetown Village Council voted on April 24 to shut down the Commercial Building Code Department and sever all ties with Santoro Engineering, the firm used by the village for those services. Council member Tony Applegate said May 1 that
B R O A D S H E E T O D D
the action was taken “because the building department was a two year experiment that wasn’t working”. Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall said on May 1 that the village was still exploring the procedure for ending the contractual relationship with Santoro Engineering, and that the Commercial Building Code Department would be “wound down” according to the proper procedures and timelines. That process includes requesting all files on inspections and compliance from Santoro, and working out the financial issues of those who have already paid fees during the permitting process.
Aberdeen woman thanks Village Officer Newman for saving her life Wayne Gates/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Paul Hall is presented the Pioneer Award by Brown County Chamber of Commerce Secretary Erin Richmond and Treasurer Gerry Schumacher.
He is the founder and manager of Paul Hall and Associates, Painless Tax Service, Cartemps Rental Agency, Verizon Wireless Retail Store and Advertising Works. After receiving his award, Hall told the crowd that he decided to take the big step of becoming a business ower in 1988. “I had a nice job, a nice salary and a nice company car, and I decided to basi-
cally jump off the cliff and go into self employment, where if I didn't sell something I didn't eat," Hall said to audience laughter.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press During the May 7 Aberdeen council meeting, Aberdeen Police Sgt. Shawn Newman received very special and well deserved recognition for his quick thinking last month when he used an AED, (automated external defibrillator) on a woman, saving her life. Linda Campbell, 50, of Aberdeen, had suffered a heart attack on March 22 at her apartment. Her fiance, Tim Johnson, realized Campbell was unresponsive and that he was unable to revive her. Johnson immediately
began CPR after calling the 911 operator, who then contacted Sgt. Newman, who is also a trained firefighter and EMT. Newman knew that Campbell had no heartbeat when he arrived. “Mr. Johnson’s quick thinking to begin CPR kept oxygen going to Ms. Campbell’s brain,” Newman said with a humble tone to his voice, “Then when the EMT’s showed up they took over and did their job. It was a joint effort on all our parts and I am certainly no hero. I’m just glad to see my firefighter training get put to use.” In the absence of Police
Chief Clark Gast, Aberdeen resident J.R. Lawrence introduced Newman along with his wife, Beth. Newman then gave a brief demonstration on how the AED works and how he was able to restart Campbell’s heart. Jessica Little, Brown County Prosecutor also attended the meeting to present an award to Officer Newman personally. Little was holding a beautiful plaque and said to Officer Newman, “In 1862 President Abraham Lincoln was on the battlefield after the Battle of Antietam during the Civil War, and he talked to some of the surgeons CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Brown County Commissioner Rick Eagan passed away Tuesday evening, May 8, after falling ill at home. His cause of death has not been made public. The news came as a shock to those who knew him, from family members, longtime friends, elected officials and members of the public he served. County Commissioners Ralph Jennings and William Geschwind released a statement which read; "Commissioner Eagan's passing is certainly a loss for Brown County. He was a dedicated, hard-working servant of the people. He always had the very best interest of the county as the main focus of his leadership role. He was a man of principle and integrity, always standing his ground for what he believed in. The Brown County Commissioners and staff will miss his presence and offer

Hundreds of people assembled in front of the Brown County Court House in observance of National Day of Prayer, last Thursday evening, May 3. This years event marks the 61st annual National Day of Prayer across the nation. ‘One Nation Under God’ was the key message at the celebration in Georgetown which was organized by the Brown County National Day of Prayer Task Force which includes, Pastor David Eversole, Pastor Don and Marsha Mundy, Larry and Linda O’Hara, Cheryl Sellers, Mary Smith, Kim Davis, Tina Johnson and Terrie Wells. Linda O’Hara also took part in the program leading in the simultaneous Bible reading for the crowd. “I first became involved with this wonderful event back in 1993,” O’Hara said. “I was introduced to it by my friend Patty Rhonemus and have truly enjoyed being involved in it through the year and as a task force member. “The whole idea of a National Day of Prayer is not about religion, it’s about all God’s people coming together in a public place to freely and openly worship God and pray to him. “It’s not about denominations, it’s about thanking our Lord for the freedom to worship when and where we choose.” O’Hara added that she remembered when the Lords Prayer was led each morning in her school, and saying aloud next to her classmates. “Then one day, one person decided the Lord’s prayer was somehow offensive,” she added, “and suddenly it was gone. It was gone from the lives of our children. And all it took was one person’s actions. That’s why the National Day of Prayer is important to me and to all Christians across the nation. There is power in prayer.” Prior to the program ‘The Riddells’ from Hillsboro entertained the crowd with gospel music from their family.

Mt. Nebo To Celebrate Building Completion On Sunday, May 20th, Mt. Nebo United Methodist Church invites the community to join them to celebrate the completion of their new church building. The project adds space that will enable the church to offer a better welcome to guests than the previous building allowed. The main part of the older facility, which was built in 1892, served as a wonderful tool for ministry for many years and will continue to be utilized for other ministry purposes. However, the new building will provide a greater capacity for parking and seating. Worship services for the May 20th Celebration Sunday will be offered at 9:00am and 11:00am. A reception and tours will be offered starting at 10:15am. The Mt. Nebo congregation would be honored to have the community join them for this joyful occasion. The church is located at 11693 State Route 774 just three miles north of Hamersville

The one story mill building was purchased February 1, 1937 by William F. and Neta Ellis from Phillip Yockey. A three story grain elevator was added in 1941. The family business spanned 71 plus years and three generations. William and Neta had three children, Wilfred, Jimmy and Berneda. Wilfred and Jimmy became partners with their father and later became owner/operators of Ellis Feed Mill. Wilfred’s son Keith and his wife, Pat became the third generation owners until the business was sold in 2008.

Brown County has lost a dedicated public servant. Commissioner Rick Eagan passed away on Tuesday of last week. He was a county commissioner when he died, but he spent most of his adult life serving the public in one way or another. He was a Ripley village councilman. A deputy sheriff. A volunteer with the Ripley Life Squad. Rick stepped up time and again and served the public in many ways, both subtle and obvious. He fought his way back from a horrible auto accident in 2009 that nearly took his life. He was working on running for county commissioner when the accident happened. He could have dropped out of the race. It would have been much easier on him to concentrate on his recovery. But his desire to continue serving the public

OPINION
WAYNE GATES, EDITOR won out...and he was sworn into office, broken but unbowed. Fellow commissioner Bill Geschwind told me, “We didn’t always agree, but you always knew where Rick stood.” And Bill is right. Rick and I talked often when I would write about things going on in county government, and he always spoke his mind. Once after giving me a particularly strong quote, he told me “I don’t care how I sound to other people or what they think about me. This is what I believe.” I can’t think of a better way to sum up Rick Eagan than that.
Boosting Ohio-made products and creating Ohio jobs Ohio workers can compete with anyone in the world. And, every day, at places like Nook Industries in Cuyahoga County, Middletown Tube Works in Butler County, and Crown Battery in Sandusky County, Ohio workers are making goods used all over the world. Ohio has had quicker increases in job growth than other states, and we know the manufacturing sector nationally has gained back some 470,000 jobs since January 2010. That’s good news, but we can do even better. One way we can speed
SHERROD BROWN up our economic recovery is to help Ohio companies find new markets for their products by selling them around the world. We know that companies that export their products around the world create jobs, pay higher wages to employees, and are more likely to stay in business. Export-supported manufacturing jobs already account for an estimated 7.1
percent of Ohio’s total private-sector employment. More than one-fourth of manufacturing workers in Ohio depend on exports for their jobs – the 8th highest percentage among the 50 states. That’s why the ExportImport (Ex-Im) Bank is so important. Ex-Im Bank – the federal agency that helps companies sell their products around the world – provides American businesses with essential trade financing at no cost to taxpayers. By providing loans, guarantees, and insurance, Ex-Im Bank helps Ohio manufacturers enter
foreign markets obtaining new international customers and creating new jobs here in Ohio. It does all of this while creating revenue for the U.S. Treasury. Last week, I joined the head of the Ohio Manufacturers Association (OMA) to call for the reauthorization of Ex-Im, which will no longer be able to help Ohio companies if Congress does not act by May 31. OMA’s Eric Burkland discussed how ExIm Bank financing helped Nook Industries ship goods to new customers in China, Korea, and Israel. He noted that because of Ex-Im financing, Middletown Tube
Letters to the Editor
now sells steel tubes to customers in Spain and Portugal. And Crown Battery has been able to hire new assemblers, technicians, and engineers. Despite this record of success, Ohio exports and American jobs are at risk because some in Congress cannot agree to reauthorize the Ex-Im bank. Exporting is tough, especially for small businesses.
Less than one percent of the nation’s nearly 26 million small businesses export their products. In more than 200 roundtables I’ve held throughout the state and in meetings in the nation’s capitol, I hear from Ohio small business owners who want to expand and access foreign markets, but due to the credit risks associated with some overseas investments these CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
What Do You Think? What is the Best Mother's Day gift you have ever received?
Keeping man out of the way with God Dear Editor, As I was reading the Brown County Press, I came across an opinion of a very opinionated Brown County Denominational leader. It seems to me that with this individual, the words of Jesus Christ, the apostles whom he taught, and the teachings of the apostle, Paul, mean very little compared to this individual’s doctorate in his type of
Bondage Christianity, with his dos and don’ts. This person loves to teach and tries to scare people into a forced love for God and his Messiah, Jesus Christ. I have studied the Bible for quite awhile and have left the traditions of religious doctors in the garbage. But, the requirements I have found to be with Christ and His Father are these verses: John 3:16 (Foremost of all), I
Corinthians 15:1-4 and many others. Attempted bondage from a “traditions” teacher is not what Christianity is about. I love what 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 teaches, “Beware of False Teachers”. It is not a requirement in my Bible to know the hour and day I was saved. I was saved approximately 30 A.D. with God’s gift, the death on the cross, the burial and the resurrec-
tion of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. That is when all mankind was saved. All we have to do is accept this gift and attempt to follow Christ’s example and repent when we mess up. That gift is from God. That is the love of the Father and Son. Salvation does not come from adhering to man’s traditions. David E. Duncanson, Jr. Georgetown
Doing yourself a favor by letting go of stress Dear Editor, Letting go of people, places and things over which we have no control is such a liberating thing ... true freedom ... that is, unless you’re a control freak who believes its your job to manage the universe! And, face the facts, there are such unfortunates out there who feel incomplete unless attempting to control everything and everybody around them ... they want to micro-manage the world.
Control is only an illusion. As a young minister, I thought it was my job to be just like that - to oversee what everyone was doing and hover over them, looking over their shoulders every minute. All I achieved in the process was making my life miserable and making them resentful ... but it was how I had been taught and led to believe. What a bunch of crap that was! Eventually I learned what

a joy it was to be able to relinquish my control and to put things in God’s hands ... its His job, not mine, to change things for the better. I do what I can and then ‘let go’ ... God does the rest. I don’t have to be in charge anymore and I’m so much happier in the process ... I love not having to be responsible for any outcomes ... I just live my life and let others die of heart failure. If things don’t work out as planned ... so what? Try again another day. If somebody doesn’t come through on their part of a project ... talk it over and let it go. If you’re planning a fishing trip and it rains ... let it rain and read a book instead. If you think the
room ought to be painted light blue and its painted yellow instead ... learn to like yellow. And ask yourself the question: ‘Does it really matter that much?’ I don’t have to have everything my way. i don’t have to have control over anything or anybody to the point of losing my serenity. I don’t have to be in charge of the world in order to enjoy being in the world. i can let go of the things that baffle me and enjoy the moment I’m in at present. I can let go of people, places, things and situations in my life and have true freedom from turmoil. This my friend is what real living is all about! Rev. Sam Talley

Reader questions scripture interpretation Dear Editor, In response to the article by Gary J. Mattingly, Fayetteville Church of Christ, “Jesus and Nicodemus”, Sunday, May 6, 2012. I would like to ask Mr. Mattingly a question. I want to make sure that I understand your interpretation of John 3. Are you saying that all Protestants, all Catholics, all Jews, or any other person of
any other church or religion that has not been “immersed” is not going to be in Heaven? Are you saying that they are bound for eternal condemnation? That they have no hope of Heaven, if they are not “immersed”? I want to understand if that is what you are saying. Just asking! Rev. Ted R. House Bible Baptist Church, Mt. Orab

He agreed to keep council informed in the issue. Ashmore also recommended the village purchase a new single axle truck for the village at a cost of $122,900 which would be under full warranty.

China’s Export-Import and Development Banks provide as much as $100 billion in export credits each year, which is more than three times as many new export credits as the U.S. Export-Import Bank. For Ohio workers in places like Cleveland, Middletown, and Fremont, reauthorizing the Ex-Im Bank is a top priority. Reauthorizing the bank should also be a top priority for Congress.

CHOICES In 1 Chronicles 21 the Bible tells us: “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.” To number the people was a sin because then they were not depending on what God would do rather on the number of their armies to protect them and win their battles. So when David numbered the people, God was displeased and he smote Israel. David began to pray unto God: “And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: But now I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant: for I have done very foolishly.” Verse 9: “And the LORD spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: Choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.” So David had to choose his own punishment. I am sure it was a hard choice to make. Many times in our lives we are asked to make hard choices. When that happens consider God in your decision, David did. Here are the three choices God gave David: “Either three years of famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.” I want you to notice the ending of this verse. The prophet said “now” give me an answer. David did not have a chance to pray, meditate, or procrastinate. Life is a multitude of choices. The outcome of your life could depend on what you choose, so choose wisely. Some choices, like David’s, have to be made immediately. David made his decision based on his knowledge of God. We, like David, should consider God in all of our decisions. Now David said unto Gad, the prophet, “I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: But let me not fall into the hand of man.” So David threw himself on God’s mercy and the punishment began. Verse 14: “So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, it is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth, and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.” Notice that the angel was standing in mid-air and that David and the elders, who were dressed very humbly, fell on their faces. David begins to pray to God and plead for the people of Israel. Then the angel of the LORD tells Gad, the prophet, to tell
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM David to set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan. David did so at the saying of Gad. Look, when I tell you something out of this Bible, in the name of the LORD, it is not brother Smith speaking it is God. When Gad, the prophet, went to David he said: “That is what God said.” Like Gad, it is my business to preach God’s word. The story continues and tells us that when Ornan saw David he fell on his face out of respect for the King. “Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD;..” Even though Ornan was willing to give his threshing floor and all that went with it to David, David refused to accept it. He told Ornan that he would pay full price for it. He said: “for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD nor offer burnt-offerings without cost.” You know, when we bought this property where the church is now standing, someone said to me: “Preacher, why don’t we pray that they give it to us.” I said; “no, I wouldn’t want to build a church on land which someone gave to us. We will pay for it and the church will have a clear title.” I know some churches that have been on land for 50 years and the land still belongs to some family. The land is to revert back to that family if something happens to the church. There is a string attached to those churches for as long as they stand. No family has a right to have that kind of hold on a church. If you want, sell the land for a dollar, but don’t give it with a string attached. David paid full price for the threshingfloor for it was God’s business and God can pay for what He buys. David, the King of Israel, of the tribe of Judah, bought and paid full price for that property. It is the same property that the temple of Jerusalem was built on and on which the Mosque of Omar now stands. Who bought the property? King David of Israel bought it. Who does it belong to then? It belongs to Israel. The Moslems are just squatters setting on Israel’s property. Now, when David built an altar on that threshingfloor and offered a burnt-offering, the LORD answered by fire from heaven. Then the LORD commanded the angel; “and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.” Hey, the plague was over when the sacrifice was made. Figuratively speaking, the plague was over for me when that sacrifice was made on the cross of Cavalry. The Bible tells us that by one sacrifice Jesus Christ has perfected forever them that are sanctified. It was at Cavalry that Christ was crucified. It was at Cavalry God was satisfied.

Aberdeen faces yet another issue with water plant, hires new solicitor A contested will is causing a delay in the construction of a new water treatment plant in Aberdeen. On May 8, Charles Jerome Dudley, the grandson of the late Louis S. Bramel, Sr., Aberdeen, filed a complaint against Annette Mineer, (allegedly the sole heir to Bramel’s estate) contesting the legitimacy of his grandfathers will. Dudley claims that he is the next of kin and sole heirat-law of Bramel’s estate. The summons also claims the document admitted by Mineer is not the last will and testament of the deceased Louis S. Bramel Sr. because it was obtained while he was under the severe pressure or undue influence of Annette Mineer; This suit, filed by Dudley could have a direct impact on the future of the new water treatment plant currently under construction in the Village of Aberdeen. On March 16, four out of the six council members voted to stop all work being done on the water plant, even though contracts had been signed and $1.9 million in federal bonds had been obtained by the village to pay for the plant. Two wells had already been dug to support the new plant, but somehow, the property, owned by Bramels estate, had never been purchased by the village and they did not have a deed to the property. Mineer (the alleged owner of the land where the wells have been dug) stated in a phone interview that she has tried on many occasions to sell the property to the village. “Mr. Bramel loved this village,” Mineer said. “He wanted them to have the property where the wells are. But technically the property was given to me by Mr. Bramel, long before he passed away. It was recorded, in my name, in February, 2011. “So, I have the authority

Following a brief executive session, Aberdeen Village Council hired West Union Attorney, David Grimes as the new village solicitor.
to sell the property to the village, and this suit by Mr. Dudley, contesting the will of Mr. Bramel has nothing to do with the well site property.” Councilwoman Billie Eitel said that the ownership of the well site property was only a part of her reason to place a stop-work order on the water plant. “Of course we had heard rumors that Mr. Bramel’s grandson, Charles Dudley was going to contest the will,” Eitel began, “but we didn’t know that for sure until his suit was filed a few days ago. “There were other valid reasons too, that convinced me we needed to enforce the stop-work order. There is
still the issue of an expired option to buy the property and we’re not sure how all that’s going to play out. “There’s the problem with exiting off of Rt. 52 on to the property, and other problems that need to be worked out.” But Councilman Jay Castle said the whole situation has been blown out of proportion in regard to the well site property. “Everyone on council knew that Louis Bramel was happy about selling the property for the water treatment plant to the village, it was something he wanted to do,” Castle said. “And everyone also knew that Ms. Mineer was doing what she knew Mr. Bramel wanted to do with the land. But even now, four council members refuse to talk to Ms. Mineer about a solution. She has tried in vain to work with them.” In other business during the May 7 meeting, council hired Attorney John Grimes as the new solicitor for the village. Grimes received a unanimous vote and will replace former solicitor Tresa Gossett who submitted her resignation April 19. Grimes, of West Union has more than 12 years experience as a village solicitor and says he is excited to have the opportunity to work with Aberdeen Council. Council also discussed a village apartment complex,

Riverbend Apartments and its use of water and how it is billed. The issue will be discussed again at the next meeting. Council also voted to reduce the flat fee for water usage to residents from $26 to $23 each month. Council raised the rates on a temporary basis last year to help cover immediate costs of construction of the new water plant. “We asked residents to pay more money for their water last year,” said councilman Jerry Applegate, “at that time we promised to reduce them in about a year and I believe that’s what we should do.” Council voted yes to reduce the rate, but Councilwoman Eitel said later that she believes it was a mistake to take the rates back down, and in fact they should have been raised.
“We are barely going to have enough operating funds for this new water treatment plant now,” Eitel said in a phone interview. “In the first part of this year we’ve brought in less than $33,000. That’s only about $8,000 a month. We can not operate a water plant on $8,000 a month. How will we maintain the plant? How will we replace old water lines? I feel like council was
playing good-cop, bad-cop, and I would have been the bad cop...again...if I had voted against lowering the water rates.” She continued, “But I did not feel like I was being financially responsible for the residents of Aberdeen by voting to lower the rates. We have to be able to pay for this new water plant and it’s inevitable that those rates will have to go back up.”

Newman did.” Little then thanked Newman for his dedication to duty and professionalism as she presented him with the plague and shook his hand. Dennis Lewis, Brown County Emergency Medical
Service coordinator recognized Newman and also presented him with a plaque of appreciation. The plaque contained a piece of the EKG tape of Ms. Campbell’s heart beat both before and after he brought her heart back. Lewis told the crowd that Brown County now has 60 AED’s throughout the county and Campbell’s case marked the 9th person who has been saved by the use of the AED.

Alert citizens and K-9 solve G’town burglary in less than hour Forrest “Buddy” Coburn, Georgetown Chief of Police issued a press release in regard to the arrest of Eric Moore, 18, of Georgetown who has been charged with one count of burglary, a third degree felony, one count of breaking and entering, a fifth degree felony and one count of theft, a fifth degree felony. The arrest came after Police Sgt. Robert Gifford and Ptl. Rich Shofstall responded to Andrews Avenue, May 7 and met with two local residents. The two residents had called 911 and reported a burglary in progress. The advised the officers that they both observed a male subject remove a flat screen TV from a residence on Andrews Avenue and head into an alley with it. They also told officers that they knew the suspect’s first was Eric, but everybody called him Wayne. They did not know his last name or where he lived.
Sgt. Gifford called out K-9 Officer Shaun Inlow and his partner Gabbard to the scene of the theft. The two started their track from the area the two citizens advised the suspect had last been seen. Gabbard tracked the suspect right up to a garage on North Apple Street. The door was partially open and Inlow could see a flat screen TV inside. The officers made contact with a female resident inside the house and ask if the suspect was inside. Initially she denied him being there, but then admitted he was. Inlow advised the suspect to exit the residence or he would release the K-9. Upon hearing the command and the K-9 barking, the suspect gave up peacefully. Moore was arrested at the scene and transferred to the Brown County Adult Detention Center. “These types of people who reported this crime are typical of the majority of Georgetown citizens,”

officers. They were able to develop a list of potential suspects and through a series of interviews, followup investigations and search warrants. They focused on a group of individuals that live in the area of the thefts. Some of the stolen property has been recovered and leads to a location of the rest of the items are being followed up on. Bost is currently being held in the Brown County Adult Detention Center. Charges against other individuals are pending the completion of the investigation. Chief Forrest Coburn wants to commend all the officers that worked on these cases. Coburn said that his officers worked non-stop on the cases and followed up every lead. He added that the officers used their own time to work on the case.

Chief Coburn said. “We receive a great deal of information from the public and without it our job as police officers would be much more difficult. “Our residents care about their neighborhood and their neighbors and are not afraid to get involved.” Coburn added that once again the K-9 unit proved their value to the village. Without the tracking ability of the K-9, the officers catching the suspect and recovering the victim’s property would have been greatly diminished.

Judge ends limits on Moler Raceway CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 and all racing must stop at midnight. Walton’s original ruling said that “the running of the racetrack past midnight would constitute a private nuisance”. Other restrictions included requiring mufflers on all racing cars and limiting decibel levels to 75 decibels at 100 feet from the track. The judge also ordered that all lights and speakers be aimed at the racetrack, not outward and that the cost of the lawsuit be “assessed equally between the plaintiffs and defendants”. Walton’s latest ruling assesses costs to the plaintiffs. In a ruling last fall, the Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals ruled that “The degree of proof required before a court will enjoin (legally prevent) an anticipated or threatened nuisance must be clear and convincing.” Walton ruled that such clear and convincing evidence does not exist. Establishing that the race track is a legal nuisance was the centerpiece of the plaintiff’s case. Rufus Waugh lives on Harker-Waits road, immediately across from the racetrack. He disagreed with Walton’s ruling that the facility is not a nuisance, saying “Let him (the judge) come out here in the middle of the night and see all the cars, hear all the noise and commotion. He’d change his mind real quick.” Presumably, the plaintiffs could appeal Walton’s ruling to the 12th District Court of Appeals.

Supreme Court to take Brown County Five’ case CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 proceeding with an administrative investigation instead of turning the matter over to law enforcement.
State policy requires any public employee to inform law enforcement if they become aware of the commission of a crime. A hearing was held on the case in September of 2010, where attorneys for the five claimed that their clients were forced to cooperate in an investigation by the Ohio Inspector General’s office and to incriminate themselves under fear of losing their jobs. The ability to avoid future self-incrimination during an administrative investigation is commonly known as a ‘Garrity’ right, based on a case in New Jersey. Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler ruled that “Garrity’ rights did apply to the defendants and that their statements to investigators were compelled by their fear of losing their jobs and that those statements should be suppressed as evidence against them. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little appealed the ruling. The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals considered the case for 16 months before ruling in favor of Little and ordering that the case continue. The appeal to the Ohio State Supreme Court claims that the high court should take the case because of a “great public interest” and that it involves a “substantial constitutional question”, specifically the right of someone not to incriminate themselves. John Woliver, Attorney for Miller, said “This case could have public policy implications on what employees have to do when faced with an administrative investigation. There are significant questioned raised by the ruling and there is much to review.” At a pre-trial hearing last March, Gusweiler suspended further action in the case until the Ohio Supreme Court makes its ruling.

Eastern girls, Ripley boys SHL champs on the track
Broncos capture second straight SBC track title
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press MANCHESTER-It was going to take a lot more than rain to slow down the Eastern and Ripley track and field teams at the Southern Hills League Track and Field Championships last Friday night in Manchester. Despite a lengthy weather delay caused by storms passing through the area that caused the event to last past 11 p.m. and litter the track with water, the Eastern girls team and Ripley boys team persevered as each earned their respective league championships when all was said and done. The Lady Warriors took home the SHL girls title -despite having just 11 girls compete -- because of how well each and every member of the squad performed. Even with the low numbers, the win wasn’t that much of a surprise to Eastern track and field coach Dylan Fain. “None of them preformed under what I expected,” Fain said by phone Monday afternoon. “And most of them performed beyond what I expected. I thought we had a good chance to win it. I thought we'd have to put everything together, which we did, but I thought we’d be competitive.” And it was truly a team performance. Despite winning just two events, the Lady Warriors (who scored 119 points) beat second

place Lynchburg-Clay (98.5) by over 20 points. Much of that can be contributed to the strong performances of the Lady Warriors in the sprint races. They finished two runners in the top three of each the 100-meter (Kaylie Ruckel and Lauren Towne), 200-meter (Ruckel and Shelby Cowdrey) and 400-meter (Towne and Ruckel) dashes. “We finished second and third in a lot of events. We finished two-three in all of the sprints,” Fain said. “We also had kids step up when we lost Mikayla Purdy (to an injury suffered early Friday evening) and run events they don't normally
run and score points for us.” Cowdrey, in the high jump, and the 4x400 relay team of Towne, Cowdrey, Breanna Williams and Ruckel were the only two events in which the Lady Warriors placed first and were named All-League. Additionally, Fain was named the girls track and field Coach of the Year. Meanwhile, on the boys side, the Blue Jays were strong all night long.

Leading the way for the Blue Jays was Donte Bennett and Bryan McDowell. Bennett took home first place, and All-League honors, in the 200-meter dash and the high jump while McDowell earned AllLeague status in both the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles.

While there were several strong performances from the many Georgetown and Western Brown track and field athletes at the Southern Buckeye Conference League Meet at Bethel-Tate High School on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, the best performance put in over the course of the two day event may have well been from the Western Brown boys track and field team. The Broncos racked up 185 points as they easily beat second place Bethel (137.5 points) to claim their second straight SBC-American Division title. It was truly a dominating
performance from the Broncos as they secured eight event titles, and First Team All-League honors, and got points from nearly everyone who made an event final. “Everybody stepped up and performed how I wanted them to,” Western Brown coach Chad Sexton said. “The kids really did perform. I have to give them credit.” Leading the way for the Broncos was Mack Tudor and Jake Lawson, who each secured two individual titles. Just as he had all year long, Tudor dominated the field in both the shot put and discus while as he again set records. CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Lady Rockets ‘Wear’ down against Felicity in sectional CMYK
BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
FELICITY-- Sometimes, no matter how much you prepare for something or someone, you just can’t find a way to succeed no matter what you do. That seemed to be the case for the Fayetteville softball team on Wednesday night in their second round sectional game at Felicity. Despite doing all they could do to prepare for the Lady Cardinals star pitcher Montana Wear, the Lady Rockets simply could never get going offensively against the senior hurler. As Wear held the Lady Rockets to one hit and struck out 16 batters, the Lady Cardinals took advantage of a couple of Lady Rockets defensive misplays and turned them into runs as they secured a 3-0 win that ended Fayetteville’s very good season. “When it takes one time through the batting lineup for everyone to see her (and) to face her then to time her up the next time...like I said, it’s hard to prepare for something like that,” Fayetteville coach Carmen Carson said after the game. “We can put it up on the machine as fast as it will go but that machine’s not going to make the ball go inside/outside (and) high/low. Just got to give (Wear) credit for the talent she is.” It didn’t take long for Wear to set the tone. She struck out the first two Lady Rocket batters of night and five of the first six. Though she wasn’t as dominant as Wear ended up being, Lady Rocket pitcher Whitney Boothby pitched a pretty good game in her own right. The sophomore gave up just four hits and struck out five Lady Cardinal hitters. Boothby had two innings early on, however, where a combination of things caught up with her to give Felicity what turned out to be an insurmountable lead. The hosts struck first in the second inning when Allie Rodriguez’s single to left field scored teammate Whitney Grooms to give the Lady Cardinals a 1-0 lead.

Though she recovered to get out of the second with no more damage done, Boothby again ran into a little trouble in the third but looked to be getting out of it until a misplay in the outfield turned the inning around for the hosts. After allowing a single by Hillary White to lead off the third inning, Boothby struck out the next Felicity hitter for the second out after White was called out
Big third inning propels Batavia on past Blue Jays in sectional opener BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press BATAVIA-- For the first two innings on Monday night, it looked like the first round sectional baseball matchup between Batavia and Ripley was setting up to be a low scoring, pitchers affair. With Blue Jay left hander Brad Kirschner mowing down Bulldog hitters -he had six strikeouts in the first two innings alone -and his opposite number, Bulldogs starter Tyler Luginbuhl, doing much the same, it didn’t look like it was going to be a good night to be in the batters box. But the Bulldogs quickly changed that notion in the
bottom of the third inning as they used a different approach against Kirschner the second time around to score six runs in the inning -- with a little help from the Blue Jays defense -- and rolled on from that point to a 10-0 five inning victory Monday evening. “Early I thought it was going to be a pitching duel the way (Kirschner) came out and the swings we were putting on,” Batavia coach Geoff Carter said. “So I wanted to execute some small things. Some double steals. A fake bunt and steal. That stuff, fortunately, worked. Once that stuff, kind of, works, you’ve got momentum on your side. Then we were able to scratch a few runs

for leaving the base early. She looked to have gotten the final out of the inning when she got the next batter, Jordan White, to lift a fly ball to left field. Fayetteville freshman left fielder Emma Allen moved under the ball but had run a little too far and the ball glanced off her glove, allowing White to reach second base safely. It turned out to be a big play as Wear then tripled to
deep center to bring in the second run and Grooms hit a soft liner that found dirt just out of Boothby’s reach in the infield to score the second run of the inning and make it 3-0. “Our youth showed,” Carson said of inning. “You have that in big games but that just gives us something to build on next year.” The Lady Rockets seemed to have something going their next trip to the plate when Tori Huber singled with one out. However, when Clair Carson hit a soft liner for a fielders choice during the next atbat, disaster struck as both Carson and Huber were hurt on the play. Carson (a hip injury) was able to stay in but Huber (ankle) wasn’t able to. With Riley Wolf (a serious wrist injury) out after being hit with a pitch as she swung the inning before, the Lady Rockets were suddenly down two starters. It didn’t seem to matter much as Wear continued to mow down the Lady Rockets hitters. They didn’t have a player reach base the final four innings. Boothby did all that she could as she sat down nine straight Lady Cardinals to end the game but Fayetteville simply wasn’t able to solve Wear. “I was impressed that she stayed focused after we had a couple of errors. And she realized that she was missing her spots, and that’s why they were hitting it, and she adjusted,” Carson said of her pitcher. “I was really proud of her.” Though they had a make-up Southern Hills League game to play on May 11 against Ripley, the Lady Rockets loss put a cap on a very good season. With seven starters returning next year, this season’s 19-3 (as of May 10) record set a very strong foundation on which the Lady Rockets will continue to build. “I’m very proud of the job that they did,” an emotional Carson said of the Lady Rockets efforts. “It’s like I told you that last time I talked to you, the softball season goes so fast. You look back and you’ve won 19 games and it’s, ‘Wow, how did that happen?’”

early and then that kind of broke it wide open.” With neither team getting much going offensively the first two and a half innings, the Bulldogs tried to work on their timing the second time around against Kirschner. Their seemed to work as Austin Lenhardt got the rally going with an infield single to shortstop. After he moved up a base on a passed ball, Lenhardt scored on Dalton Wright’s single up the middle to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead. With two on and one out after Ryan Gormley singled, Wright scored from third when Kirschner’s pickoff throw to first base got past first baseman Tyler Planck to make it 2-0. And it just went downhill from there for the Blue Jays. As Kirschner was in the process of walking Tyler Carver, Gormley scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0.
Another infield hit the Blue Jays couldn’t come up cleanly with later, Kyle Schmitgen bunted to try to move the runners up but Kirschner couldn’t pick the ball up cleanly. His error allowed Carter to score and Schmitgen to reach first base safely. A Dakotah Norman sacrifice fly and an run-scoring single by Dylan Glover gave the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead before the Blue Jays finally got out of the inning. “It comes down to two things I just talked to them about -- confidence and heart. Can’t teach them heart. They have to have the heart. But the confidence wasn’t there,” Ripley coach Matt Folkerth said of the loss. “After one error our heads went down. After the second error our heads went way down. By the third error, we were done. There was nothing I could do to pull us out.”
Sectional baseball and softball roundup Baseball Fayetteville advances to sectional final The Rockets advanced to the Southwest District Division IV sectional final with a 7-0 win over Riverview East on Wednesday night. Senior Derek Peters was solid on the mound in the win, allowing just four hits. “Derek Peters pitched a good game with nine strikeouts,” Fayetteville coach Tim Carlier said in an email. Tanner Williams led the way offensively, going 2for-3 wi th an inside the park home run and 3 RBI. Dion Barber went 2-3 and E.J. Aubry was 2-2. The win propelled the Rockets to the sectional championship on May 16 at Kings High School against the winner of No. 1 seed Seven Hills and Middletown Christian. Knight leads Eastern past North Adams in sectional opener C.J. Knight threw 6.1 innings of one run baseball as the Warriors beat Southern Hills League foe North Adams 6-1 on Wednesday night in the opener of the Southeast District Division III sectional. “We played pretty well,” Eastern coach Dave Mignerey said. “We did have a couple errors but they were on tough balls. For the most part we pitched very good, played defense pretty good and hit pretty good.” Daniel Faul relieved Knight in the top of the seventh inning and finished the game with one pitch as he got a grounder back to the mound and started a game ending double play. Aaron Williams led the way offensively with three hits while Austin Williams and Curtis Burns each had two. The Warriors advanced on to battle a familiar foe in the sectional championship -- Piketon and its star pitcher Zach Farmer. Eastern has faced Piketon in each of the past two tournaments and Mignerey knows it will be an uphill climb to wi n but thinks his team can do it. “No doubt it will be a real tough battle,” he said. “(Farmer) is the real deal. But if we play good defense and throw strikes we can hang with them.” G-Men season comes to an end at Madeira The Georgetown baseball team’s 2012 season came to an end last Monday night when they lost their sectional opener to Madeira 7-2. Though the G-Men lost, it was a solid effort considering they were playing the No. 1 seed in the Southwest District Division III sectional and No. 1 team in the city. “We played really well,” G-Men co-coach Eric Gregory said. The effort against Madeira was an extension of how the G-Men (2-19) played down the stretch. “We played really well down the stretch,” Gregory said. “It was a far cry from
the rest of the season.” Softball Western Brown moves on It certainly wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing performance of the season but the Lady Broncos found a way to move on to the second round of the Southwest District Division II sectional with an 11-1 win over Norwood on Wednesday night. “We didn’t play very well,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace said. The Lady Broncos (205) may have been a bit lethargic because they hadn’t played in nearly a week. “We did not swing the bats very well,” Wallace said. “(But) we haven’t played in six days.” Western Brown advanced on to play BethelTate at home on Thursday, May 10. The Lady Broncos had beaten the Lady Tigers twice already this season by a combined score of 211. Lady Jays lose big lead, game to Purcell Marian Ripley’s softball season came to an end last Monday night in a heartbreaking 12-11 loss at Purcell Marian in the first round of the Southwest District Division III sectional. “It was almost like the first half of the game was our game,” Ripley coach Aimee Carpenter said. “Then Purcell Marian started hitting and turned it around.” The Lady Jays (4-10) played very well early on as they jumped out to an 11-1 lead before things started to fall apart. Purcell Marian got within 11-4 befor e they eventually tied it up at 11 after a bad fifth inning for the Lady Jays. The hosts won it in the bottom of the seventh on a double and two base error. The Purcell batter hit one to deep center field and, as the cut off throw got away from everyone, eventually kept running around the bases for the winning run. Lady G-Men fall to Reading The Georgetown softball team had its season come to an end last Monday evening when they traveled to Reading and lost 6-1 in the first round of the sectional. Neither team hit the ball well but Reading’s 2-3-4 hitters collected five of the team’s six hits in the win. “The top part of their lineup hurt us,” Georgetown coach Kathy Chadwell said. The Lady G-Men had four hits and Morgan Gast drove in the team’s lone run. With the loss the Lady G-Men finished their season 10-15. It was a season that saw Georgetown get better as they played on. “I think the kids had a good season,” Chadwell said. “Had a few games that got away, a couple in conference. (They) progressively got better as season wore on.”

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Unlike last year when rain decimated their schedule, the Georgetown softball team has gotten the opportunity to play this spring. In fact, the Lady G-Men have gotten ample opportunities this spring with only one of their games rained out. And as a team that relies on five freshman and sophomores, getting more opportunities to play can only be considered a good thing for the Lady G-Men. Those opportunities have allowed the Lady GMen to grow, something that was on display last Thursday night when they traveled down U.S. 68 to Ripley and beat their county rivals 10-1 on a steamy spring afternoon. “We’ve been in most games this year coming down the stretch, here,” Georgetown coach Kathy Chadwell said after the game. “I think a lot of it is just a lot of playing in a short amount of time. That was our 24th game. You think you play 24 games in just over five weeks, that’s a lot.” The visitors wasted no time jumping out in front. Cecilia Schwartz led the game off with a single up the middle before teammate Taylor Linkous was hit by a pitch on the wrist. Linkous would play out the top of the inning but would later leave the game due to the injury. Just two batters in the Lady G-Men were already threatening and it only got worse for the Lady Jays as pitcher Morgan Wright battled wildness in the inning. With runners on second and third with no outs, Georgetown No. 3 hitter

Ripley first baseman Morgan Bahnsen beats Morgan Steele to the bag for an out in the second inning last Thursday night.
Kaelen Jordan came through with a single past the second baseman to score both Schwartz and Linkous and give the Lady G-Men an early 2-0 lead. Though Jordan was tagged out after running past second base for the first out of the inning, Wright was still bothered by some control issues. She gave up a double to Whitney Kistler and hit two more batters in the inning before finally getting out of the inning when catcher Kayla Eichner tagged out her counterpart, Kistler, trying to score on a passed ball. Ripley coach Aimee Carpenter felt that hitting three batters in the first inning impacted Wright’s prowess in the circle. “Once she hit a couple girls it got in her head,” Carpenter said. “I think she was trying to avoid hitting people. She was probably not pitching as hard as she can.” The Lady G-Men weren’t done as they went back to work at the plate in the third. Kistler got one run in with an infield single to
shortstop to make it 3-0 before freshman shortstop Morgan Gast’s single to center scored Jordan and Kistler to make it 5-0 after three innings. “We’ve hit the ball, the last few games, we’ve hit the ball pretty well,” Chadwell said. “Which, of course, is a good time for us coming into tournament time here.” The Lady Jays got onto the board in the fourth when Wright scored from third on Alexis McCray’s infield single to shortstop. But, unfortunately, it was all the Lady Jays could muster against Lady GMen pitcher Allison Smith. The sophomore hurler kept the Lady Jays from mustering much offense and was able to stifle the few rallies Ripley was able to start. “She had a good game last night (May 2) for us up at Whiteoak and again tonight,” Chadwell said. “And, again, I can’t ask for anything more than coming down the stretch and playing like we’re playing.” The Lady G-Men added two more runs in each the fourth and sixth inning as

they put away the Lady Jays. While the Lady G-Men were playing pretty down the stretch, the Lady Jays have hit a bit of a lull. Against the Lady G-
Men, however, it was just an off night for the Lady Jays. “It was just one of those nights where nothing went right for us,” Carpenter said.

on our shoulder every time and say, ‘Hey, we’re gonna prove you wrong.’ We just didn’t do that today.” Fighting against that mentality, the Blue Jays simply could never get going despite coming in to the game having won four in a row and six of seven. Thanks to a couple of rain outs late in the season, the Blue Jays had a chance to finish their season off strong this week when they
took on Manchester on Thursday and Fayetteville on Friday. “We’re playing for third place in the SHL, which is something to be proud of for Ripley baseball,” Folkerth said. “And I just challenged them out there. It’s gut-check time. We’re out of the tournament. We can’t get first place in the SHL but we can take third and that’s where the respect starts.”

Blue Jays: Bad inning sets tone for rest of loss CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14 From that point on, the Bulldogs faced little resistance. Batavia added two runs in the fourth off Ripley pitcher Tommy Ramsey -who entered in relief of Kirschner in the fourth -- to make it 8-0. Though getting their offense back on track was a big key in the game, the Bulldogs were able to stay in the game early as they tried to figure Kirschner out because of Luginbuhl’s pitching. He pitched all five innings, allowing just two hits -- both in the first inning -while striking out four. Wright finished the Blue Jays off with a single to center field in the bottom of the fifth that scored two runs to make it 10-0 and end the game. “It’s also hard when people don’t respect the program at all. The Southwest (District) doesn’t respect us. Our league (Southern Hills League) doesn’t respect us,” Folkerth said of the loss. “So we have to come out here with a chip

In observance of National Safe Boating Week, and to mark the traditional start of the summer boating season during Memorial Day weekend, multiple free safety inspections are being held May 18-20 and May 25-27. Some free safety inspections were already offered for early season boaters and anglers in March and April; however, dozens more will be conducted in May and June at public boat launch ramps and during special events statewide. The free safety inspections help increase boating safety awareness at a time when many Ohioans are launching their boats for the first time in a new boating and fishing season. Watercraft officers provide written courtesy inspections that allow boat owners to make recommended improvements to their boating safety equipment. These free inspections typically examine the condition of fire extinguishers, navigational lights, horns and distress signals to ensure they are in working order. Officers also check to make sure that the proper type, size and number of life jackets and personal flotation devices are aboard each boat as required by law to ensure the safety of all boat occupants. Information on upcoming vessel safety inspections is available at: www.ohiodnr.com/watercraft.

League in the 4x400 but came up just short. “Conner Purdin was obviously the star,” Fain said. It wasn’t only Purdin who had a good showing, however, as Layne Pickerill finished second in both the 800-meter and 1600-meter run and third in the 3200meter run. The Lady Jays also finished in fourth place last Friday night with 86.5 points. Their performance was a pleasant surprise to Kelly because the team is composed mostly of freshman and sophomores. “It really was,” Kelly said of their performance being strong, “for as young as they are.” Ripley sophomore Samara Hawkins led the way as she earned two AllLeague honors. Hawkins won the 3200meter run late in the evening after helping the 4x800 relay team also consisting of Latitia Roberts, Stacey White and Trennan Phillips to a win earlier in the evening. Freshman Stephanie Taylor-Sizemore earned third place finishes in both the long jump and high jump for the Lady Jays. For full results from the SHL Championships check out www.baumspage.com.

SBC: Strong showing from Georgetown and Western Brown CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 With his throw of 197 ft., 3 in. in the discus, Tudor broke a SBC record that had stood for over 25 years. His throw of 61 ft., 0.25 in. in the shot put broke a record that had stood since 1975. “He didn’t just nip the marks, he shattered them pretty good,” Sexton said of Tudor. Lawson won the 100meter and 200-meter dash and was a member of the winning 4x100 relay team also consisting of Michael Lindsey, Sean Massey and Zack Siemer. They were hardly the only Broncos to perform well, however. Senior Spencer Howard won the 400-meter dash and was a member of the winning 4x800 relay team also consisting of Brady Patrick, Gage Perkins and Rick Pride. Junior Chase Latham set a school record with his first place finish in the pole vault with a jump of 12 ft., 6.25 in. Finally, Perkins, a sophomore, took home the Broncos other first place finish in the 800-meter run. Though the Broncos won several events, their key to victory may have been that they had multiple athletes finish well in event finals. “A big part of that was that we had qualified two people in each event (final),” Sexton said, “which was big, too, because we double scored.” While the Broncos were the only local team to take home a title, each of the other teams put up solid performances over both days. The Georgetown boys team came up just short in the National Division as they finished second with 144 points. Williamsburg won with 154 points. It was a close race between the G-Men and Wildcats but Williamsburg took the title simply because they had the advantage in some field events and the sprint races.
“We knew it would be a push between the two teams,” Georgetown coach Tracy Hawkins said. “I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out.” Two of the G-Men’s talented juniors led the way in the form of Nick McAfee and Jess Adamson. McAfee won all three of his individual races (800meter, 1600-meter and 3200-meter runs) while also helping the G-Men capture the 4x800 relay team title with Logan Lucas, Jake Cropper and Kyle Damen. “That kid is dedicated to his training,” Hawkins said of McAfee. Adamson continued his stellar season in the throws as he took home both the shot put and discus titles. He broke his own school record in the discus with a throw of 155 ft., 9 in. Also capturing a win for the G-Men was their 4x400 relay team of Tom Cropper, Jake Cropper, Antonio Hill and D.J. Latham. Meanwhile, both of the girls teams performed well despite their youth. The Lady Broncos finished third in the American Division with 112 points. Picking up All-League honors as winners of their event for the Lady Broncos were Dominique Hunter (300-meter hurdles) and Samantha Clark (pole vault). “Overall, I think our performance was a good performance as a team,” Lady Broncos coach Jeff Jones said. “We had some really good things happen.” The Lady Broncos got second place finishes from senior Lauren Stacy in the 200-meter dash and from Brittany Palmer in the discus as well as by each of the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams. But with just four seniors on this year’s squad, Jones was excited not only for their performance now but also for the future. “Very solid effort being as young as we are,” he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 the 4x100 relay team of Laine Parker, Chris Baker, Jon Dunn and Drew Wilson. “To tell you the truth every kid on my team showed up and performed well,” Kelly said. In addition to winning several events, the Blue Jays secured key points in the sprints as well. Bennett and Wilson finished second and third in the 100-meter dash while Wilson was runner-up to Bennett in the 200-meter dash. Kelly was named as boys track and field Coach of the Year. Though the Ripley girls and Eastern boys didn’t win on Friday night, each put up solid showing. The Warriors finished fourth with 82 points despite having just five boys participate. However, much of their success on Friday night was because of their lone senior, Conner Purdin. Purdin won, and earned All-League honors, in the long jump, 100-meter dash and 400-meter dash while he nearly overcame a big gap to pick up a win as the anchor of the 4x400 relay team. Purdin closed hard down the backstretch as he went for his fourth All-

“The next 3-4 years look very promising.” Hawkins delivered a similar message when speaking about her Lady G-Men team that finished fourth with 72 points in the National Division. With just three seniors and no juniors on this year’s team, the G-Men relied mostly on underclassman and several put up big per-
formances. Chief among them was Kylie Watson. The sophomore won the 800-meter, 1600-meter and 3200-meter runs while also helping the 4x800 team also consisting of Becca Moe, Megan Williams and Karley Miller to a win. All four wins by Watson were the four first place finishes the Lady G-Men

Southern Hills students compete at State HOSA BY Julie Bryan Contributor Clinical Health Care Services (CHCS) and Sports Medicine/Exercise Science (SPMD), programs at Southern Hills Career Technical Center, are involved in Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), a national careertechnical student organization. HOSA has a two-fold mission: to promote career opportunities in the health care industry, and to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. HOSA provides a unique program of leadership development, motivation, and recognition exclusively for secondary, postsecondary, adult, and collegiate students enrolled in Health Science Education (HSE) programs. HOSA is a powerful instructional tool that works best when it is integrated into the HSE curriculum and classroom. On March 22 and 23, the HOSA State Competition took place at Tolles Career and Technical Center in Plainville, Ohio. Southern Hills Career Technical Center was among 30 other schools that participated there. Seven students from the CHCS program competed in five events. Hailee Lewis competed in the Knowledge

Test, a written test that allowed her to choose from four categories. Hailee chose Concepts of Health. Samantha Feck chose Medical Terminology and completed a written test with over 100 questions related to various medical terms. Jessica Carr elected to compete in Medical Math, using her skills on a written test to solve math equations used in various medical circumstances. Paige Luck entered the Medical Prepared Speech contest. Her topic was titled Hospitals—Is Bigger Bet-
ter? Kaitlyn Feck, Kaitlyn Meyer, and Mary Forman picked Health Education to compete in. This group created a lesson plan, a presentation, and a test for their project on child abuse, then taught it to various classes. After their presentation, the students then created a portfolio about their overall experiences to be judged. Tom Dyer, Thomas Ramsey, and Dexter Fitzpatrick of the Sports Medicine program competed in Community Awareness, a service project designed to raise community awareness of a
health-related issue of local, state and/or national interest. The three students named their team Texom and designed a football helmet to reduce the number of concussions seen on the playing field. Their project won them first place in the state and a chance to compete at the National HOSA competition in Orlando, Florida in June 2012. Southern Hills is very proud of these students and their projects. SHCTC wishes the best of luck to team Texom in June. Keep up the good work and thinking outside the box.
SHCTC hosts blood drive Southern Hills Career and Technical Center’s Clinical Health Care Services program partnered with Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, to host a Community Blood Drive on March 29. The blood drive was held in the multi-purpose room at SHCTC. CHS students signed up 84 students/staff to give blood. The Hoxworth staff deferred some of the donors so 76 were actually able to donate 68 units of blood to save 224 lives. Local blood donors ensured that local patients will receive products they need to survive," said Jackie Hansen, Clinical Health Care Services Instructor. "Community blood drives are vitally important and we had a great turnout at Southern Hills CTC." Donating blood is safe and easy. Donors must be at least 16, in good health, and have a signed parental consent. Individuals must weigh at least 110 pounds and bring identification to donate. Look for the next blood drive in the fall of 2012 at SHCTC, Come out, give blood, and save lives. Pictured is Alexis Eagle donating blood.

Last week I met an incredible gardener who is 93 years young. Tony Figliola has only been at the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown for a few months, and comes out everyday (weather permitting) and tends to his raised garden bed. Tony can hardly wait to get some tomato plants in the ground. His father taught him how to work in the garden and appreciate the flavor of home-grown tomatoes, onions and garlic. A veteran of WWII, Tony served in the Army as a Surgical Technician from 1941 to 1945. His favorite vegetable to plant is tomatoes. When asked why, he quickly replied, “I just love them! I have been eating tomatoes all my life!” One year his mother canned 150 quarts of tomato sauce for his large family. Tony’s gardening tips include: work the soil and keep your garden free of weeds. It was no surprise to find out that tomatoes are his favorite vegetable to eat. Tony even gave me cooking tip. He loves to use orzo instead of rice when he prepares stuffed peppers. What benefits does Tony gain from gardening? He loves to listen to the birds sing in the morning, and simply loves being outdoors. This week I traveled to Bexley to work for a day at the Governor’s Residence. When asked what I do at the residence, I laugh and reply, “I pull “official” weeds!” You never know what gardening adventure we are going to have each Wednesday. This week we had 40 gardeners, of all ages, show up to volunteer their time weeding, planting, pruning, and identifying emerging native plants. My job this week was to make a diagram of all the trees and shrubs in the newest garden – The Allegheny Garden.

The Ohio Heritage Garden is a special garden for all Ohioans. The garden captures the essence of Ohio. It showcases the unique areas of the state, which range from the sand dunes of Lake Erie to the rugged terrain of the Appalachian region, as well as types of habitats common to all of Ohio, such as woodlands and meadows. The garden also features the fruits of Ohio’s horticulture industry, exemplified by the agriculture garden, the rose garden, and the Governor’s Grove. In 2006, a program was developed to promote the Heritage Garden. Each county was given the opportunity to appoint a Master Gardener Volunteer who would become a trained “Ambassador” for the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden. Please contact the Brown County OSU Extension office at (937) 378-6716 if you would like to have a Heritage Garden Ambassador present a program to your group.

All workshops are free to the public and are held in the library starting at 6 p.m.. These cold evenings and frigid mornings are harsh reminders that we shouldn’t be planting those tender annuals yet. My Hostas “melted” with the freeze and will hopefully recover as the temperatures rise. The pansies I planted are enjoying this cold snap and have eluded the munching of deer and rabbits so far. I am an avid bird watcher and love to spread sunflower seeds on the deck railing. I am always amazed by the variety of “diners” they attract. This morning I discovered 3 squirrels stretched out on their bellies with their legs hanging over the sides of the railing. As I opened the sliding door, they leapt onto some near-by branches and scurried away. They were quickly replaced by Finches, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Cow birds and Woodpeckers. I’m sure that they are looking forward to the sunflowers in the garden as much as I am!

Following Elise’ presentation, the group entered into their business meeting, focusing on plans and preparation of the chapter’s 100th birthday celebration to be held on October 13, 2012. Ohio State Senator, Thomas Niehaus will be the guest speaker and Brown County Auditor, Doug Green will provide the entertainment at this special meeting. Regent Jessica Little presented an opportunity for the group to mark the graves of Revolutionary Soldiers for Memorial Day. She also shared a thank you from Bacone College, in Muskogee, Oklahoma for the monetary
support the chapter has provided to their cultural and educational programs. This is the third year the club has provided support, with this year’s contribution going toward the purchase of scanners and shredders for the office, sports equipment and a portable PA system. She also acknowledged receipt of a thank you from the Christian Waldschmidt House in Camp Dennison, for the monetary donation the club made toward their fund raising efforts to build a kitchen in the Visitor’s Barn Center. The chapter voted to hold future meetings at a permanent location. The location selected is the historic Georgetown Presbyterian Church. Beginning in September of 2012, all regularly scheduled meetings will meet at noon at the church with lunch being catered. The chapter is excited to have a “permanent home”. The next chapter meeting will be June 9, 2012 at Blue Licks Battlefield off Route 68 in Blue Licks State Park south of Maysville, KY. We will have a noon buffet in the lodge, followed by a tour of the battlefield. If you are interested in becoming a member of the chapter and sharing your heritage for future generations, please contact Regent Little or any chapter member for information.

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH min D and cardiovascular diseases, but in the meantime, since the majority of Americans are deficient in vitamin D, doctors have started prescribing supplements just in case. It has been found that most cells in the human body have vitamin D receptors, leading one to suppose that vitamin D is important to more than just bone health. Vitamin D is thought to play a role in the immune system. Presently there is definitely more evidence that vitamin D helps prevent colds than there is that vitamin C does any good, but the thought that people will be tempted to take megadoses of vitamin D like they do for vitamin C just scares me. Adequate levels of vitamin D are good for you, but this is one vitamin that can be toxic at higher levels. Although vitamin D seems to have a protective effect against colon cancer, those with higher levels are at a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. I’d say the jury is still out on how vitamin D affects our body’s ability to fight cancer. There is some evidence that vitamin D is beneficial

The cabbages are worm free, the lettuce is ready to cut tomorrow, the spinach will be ready next week, the radishes have been thinned, and green onions are ready to be pulled. I can hardly wait to start planting the main part of the garden! Tomatoes, green beans, peppers, cucumbers, and a few other surprises will be in the ground as soon as weather permits. Don’t forget about emailing your gardening questions to Mike Hannah at mhannah2@msn.com. Be sure to include your phone number when you send your e-mail. Master Gardeners will then contact you with suggestions and important information. The remaining Helpline Tuesday for the month of May will be May 22. A Master Gardener will be at the Brown County OSU Extension office from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. to answer gardening questions. Mark your calendars for 2 opportunities to learn more about gardening. • On May 17 there will be a workshop on “Planting in Containers” at the Fincastle campus of Southern State College. The workshop is free to the public and will begin at 6 p.m. in the library. • On May 22, OSU Extension Educator, Brad Bergefurd, will present a program on “Weed Control and Pest Management in Your Garden” at the Fincastle campus of Southern State College. This workshop is also free to the public and will begin at 6 p.m. in Room 104. After the big rains this week, I am headed out to pull Garlic Mustard and Honeysuckle while the pulling is “easy”. Trying to stay ahead of this weeds this year is going to be tough!

Vitamin D for more than just bones In part one of this series on Vitamin D we discussed how historically the medical community assumed vitamin D’s raison d’etre was to help the body absorb calcium and prevent rickets. However, a study published in 2008 in the Archives of Internal Medicine ushered in a paradigm shift in how the medical community viewed vitamin D and its importance in human health. In the study over 18,000 men who had no sign of cardiovascular disease had blood drawn and their vitamin D levels checked between 1993 and 1995. Nearly two thirds of those tested were vitamin D deficient. The participants were then followed for the next 10 years. The researchers found that those individuals that had very low levels of vitamin D were almost twice as likely to have died, suffered a stroke, or heart attack, or be suffering from heart failure. As we discussed in an earlier article, just because two things happen together that doesn’t mean that one causes the other. For instance, it would be reasonable to assume that sedentary individuals that spend all day in front of the television would have lower levels of vitamin D and would also be at higher risk for cardiovascular problems. More studies are being done to try to zero in on the correlation between vita-
“Why doesn’t my Hydrangea bloom?” asked a puzzled gardener taking advantage of Helpline Tuesdays at the Brown County OSU Extension office a few weeks ago. I quickly explained that I would have to do some research before answering her question, but continued to ask questions about the bloomless Hydrangea. Where is it planted? What type of sun and wind exposure? Has it been pruned? Has the soil been amended? All this information is entered on a Helpline sheet along with the caller’s name, phone number, address and e-mail address. We ended our conversation talking about the mysterious spring that we are experiencing and how it has affected trees and shrubs in the landscape. After some research I found that there are several reasons why hydrangeas don’t bloom. Check this list for possible adjustments to make and see if your plants recover to full bloom. (1) It gets too little sunlight. (2) It’s planted where winter temperatures kill the flower buds (plants can still look healthy). (3) It’s the wrong variety for the region. Some kinds of hydrangeas are less cold-hardy than others. (4) It was pruned at the wrong time. If you prune in late summer, fall, or winter you’re probably pruning away the flower buds. Prune bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) right after blooming; prune smooth (H. arborescens) and panicle hydrangeas (H. paniculata) in early spring. If you are lucky enough to have blooms on your hydrangeas, have you ever considered drying the flowers? Some gardeners love the way dried hydrangea blooms look in arrangements. Hydrangeas are easy to air-dry-they do this work for you! Cut hydrangea flowers at any
stage from green to brown, depending on what color you want in your arrangements. Most people have the best luck cutting flowers that have been allowed to dry a bit on the plant. Remove all foliage from the cut stems. Hang the stems upside down individually in a warm, dry, airy spot until they are completely dry. Wrap the flower heads in tissue paper for protection before drying if you prefer. You can get double duty from your hydrangea flowers by enjoying them as cut flowers in a vase, then allowing them to air-dry by adding no more water to the vase once the initial fill is gone. If these techniques seem like too much bother, simply allow the flowers to dry on the plant, then pick them when you are ready to make your arrangement. When visitors walk into our basement at home, they are greeted by dried flowers hanging from the ceiling. I enjoy drying peppers, garlic, and a variety of perennial blooms during the growing season. The potting shed seemed like a great place to dry flowers, but I found myself dodging plants as I tried to work. My Grandmother used to hang herbs from the beams in the old barn on the farm. I have fond memories of the mixture of scents that greeted you as you pulled the barn door open. Have you started planting your tender annuals yet? Have you compiled your list of plants needed for your containers? After coming home with too few plants one year, I have the total of containers on the porch and deck written down in a small notebook that I carry with me. Why? You all know that we are headed into the serious purchasing time for any gardener! You can never rule out a spontaneous trip to a new garden center, so you need to be prepared with the number of plants you
for a number of conditions: diabetes type I and II, high blood pressure and glucose intolerance. Unfortunately, none of these potential benefits have been proven in randomized clinical trials. Right now these are potential benefits that show some promise in the near future. Cardiologists were taught that vitamin D is responsible for calcium absorption and preventing rickets, according to Joseph Muhlestein, a cardiologist with Intermountain Medical Center and one of the authors of the study. Prior to this study cardiologists did not order tests for vitamin D levels. Times they are changing though. “What’s been discovered in the last few years is a significantly greater role for vitamin D,” Dr. Muhlestein said. “There are perhaps 200 different important metabolic processes that use vitamin D as a co-factor.” If you want to try taking vitamin D to possibly improve your cardiovascular health, I’d recommend either 1,000 or 2,000 IU (international units) per day, but no more than 5,000 IU per day.

One of the main reasons people do not visit their dentist on a regular basis isn’t lack of finances, lack of time, or lack of need. It is a fear of dentists that keep people from visiting dental offices nationwide. Some people have had bad experiences in the past, and just the thought of opening their mouths in the bright light of a dental chair puts them on edge. Today there is no reason to fear. There are many ways to ease patient anxiety, and new improvements in dentistry have really increased patient comfort. Dental practice philosophies are different now than when many of us grew up. Today, anesthetic is used routinely and there is no need to feel the pain of cleaning out a cavity. Anesthetic techniques have improved: we know much more about the nerve patterns of teeth and surrounding structures making it easier to numb a patient, and new anesthetics are available for the particularly “difficult to numb” patient. Also, preventative
WORD OF MOUTH
DR. MICHELLE HECK dentistry is the key in today’s world. If a cavity can be prevented or discovered when it is small, there is less trauma to the teeth overall. A Diagnodent laser can be used to detect small cavities inside teeth that are difficult to see clinically. In addition, root canal treatment has improved significantly in the past few years. And for the patient that has been traumatized in the past and has a long-standing fear, sedatives may be used to ease anxiety. There are things you can do to ease your fears during an appointment. Feel free to discuss your fears with your dentist or hygienist. Most will give fearful patients the extra attention they need. Have the dentist walk through the procedure with you so you know what
to expect. If the noises bother you, bring an ipod with earbuds and soothing music. Work out a signal to use with your dentist if you feel uncomfortable during the procedure so he or she can stop and give you a break. And most importantly keep your regularly scheduled visits so problems can be identified while they are small, well before something hurts or is uncomfortable. A person should be totally comfortable discussing these issues with his or her dentist. Many patients have fear, and most dental professionals understand this issue and are able to work with the patient. If you feel like your dentist isn’t sensitive to your feelings, discuss it openly with him or her. If your dentist knows and understands your anxiety, he or she can help you work through it. But don’t let your fear keep you from taking proper care of your mouth. Remember, it is less frightening to address a small issue than a larger one down the road!

DAVID DUGAN many cows you have and the working facilities that you have. Most veterinarians will perform this service. Some may charge by the cow and some by the hour. Check with your local veterinarian about having your cows checked. If it cost $5 per cow how many could you have checked with the cost of feeding one open cow for 4 or 5 months? I don’t think you could figure your hay, supplement and mineral at this rate, but just for the sake of having something to measure it by. Let’s use 50 cents per cow per day just for fun. At 150 days that is $75 per cow. And no, that is NOT close. Truth is it is not even halfway. The cost is most likely over a dollar a day even if you were able to graze several days during this period. On top of that, have you noticed the value of a cull cow on today’s market? In fact we have just completed new, update budgets. Do you really have a good idea of what it costs to maintain a cow? The budgets will let

This site will take you to forage, row crops and livestock budgets. If you are watching for signs of heat as an indicator, it is pretty reliable, but I recently read that it is NOT 100% accurate. Here is the question and answer that appeared recently on the Beef Blog by Dr. Ken McMillan. QUESTION: Can a pregnant cow come into heat? ANSWER: Yes. It is not common, but it has been reported and seen by me. In one case I recall checking a pregnant cow on three occasions. She cycled about every 21 days, despite being pregnant. I think the producer finally believed I was right when the cow calved to the first AI date. OK, with all of this being said, have you wondered why I would be trying to talk you into the idea of pregnancy checking cows when you may have just exposed them to the bull, or in some cases that has not even happened yet? If you are just finishing your calving season, you may be finding those open cows about now. Six or more

months after you could have found them to be open and removed them from the herd. Just thought I would put the idea out there while the reality of open cows are still fresh on your mind, and you have time to plan for this fall so we are not dealing with a bunch of open cows next spring. Tobacco Disease Update With the warm temperatures that we have had in the first week of May, the disease pressure may increase for tobacco plants in greenhouses and outside beds. The air flow is restricted as the plants increase in size adding to improved conditions for disease development. Preventative fungicides for diseases like Pythium should already be in place even though the disease pressure has been low this year. The use of Terramaster as a preventative or a cure can now be used up to within 5 days of transplanting. This label is new as of last year. If you need a copy of the label, I have them. We had these available at the Tobacco Grower Meeting back in February. Collar Rot is a disease that you may want to watch for according to Dr. Kenny Seebold, UK Tobacco Specialist. Plants that are 5-7 weeks old are most susceptible to collar rot. Often the first cases are shortly after plants are first clipped following a period of disease-favorable weather. Cool temperatures (60to 75 ºF), high humidity, and overcast conditions. The first symptoms of collar rot are small, dark green, watersoaked lesions that appear at the bases of stems; however, these symptoms are not seen commonly. In most cases, this disease becomes apparent when cankers on lower stems result in chlorosis of older leaves and subsequent wilting of plants or flagging of leaf tips. Stems of affected seedlings generally show a wet necrosis that is amber-tobrown in color, beginning at the base of the plant and extending upward. This may start due to plant debris after clipping. There are no fungicides for crown rot. Good management including good air circulation, minimize plant debris build up, reducing the amount of time plants are wet and maintaining proper fertility are all things that will reduce the risk. Clipping the plants more often with a sharp mower at a slower engine speed will help reduce debris buildup in the beds.

Calving Season and Culling Cows As we hit the second week of May, much of the corn is planted, some soybeans and a little hay has been cut. It will not be long until there will be a bunch of hay cut when Mother Nature gives the opportunity. The growth seems to be a little short, but the hay is maturing quickly. The quality will be reduced if the crop over matures prior to harvest. The cropping season may be ahead of schedule, but how about your calf crop? I know from talking to several guys back in the fall that had pregnancy checked their cows, the conception rate was not very good. If you did not pregnancy check your cows, how many did you keep around all winter to find out they were open? Did you do a visual and cull any cows that continued to cycle and showed signs of coming back into heat? With the cost of feed, hay or supplement, it is hard to pencil out keeping an open cow. Open cows cost just about as much to keep as a bred cow simply because they are not carrying a calf, but with no return. The cost of pregnancy checking your cows may vary a little, partially depending on how
available and it’s first come, first serve. The bus will pick up passengers at Russellville Rambler Center at 5 p.m. and at St. George Catholic Church in Georgetown at 5:15 p.m. and return immediately after the game.
