Violationsallegedduringelection BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio Secretary of State’s office is looking into allegations that election procedure was violated in Brown County during the March 6 Primary Election. At issue is the “Statement of Person Challenged as to Party Affiliation” affidavit that local voters were asked to sign when requesting a ballot from a party that they are not registered in. Ohio is a “closed primary” state, meaning that voters must declare which primary ballot they wish to use. On December 20, 2011, the Ohio Secretary of State issued a directive to all county boards of election that primary voters can only be challenged when requesting an “out of party” ballot when the election official has per-
sonal knowledge that the voter is a member of a different party. The idea was to make the process of switching between parties less time consuming and intimidating. Incidents of party switching were common during the March 6 primary because of two statehouse races involving Republicans Paul Hall and Brown County Auditor Doug Green. Some Republicans also switched parties to vote for Democrat candidates in contested races. Hall said that none of the four other counties in State Senate District 14 (Clermont, Adams, Scioto and Lawrence) required voters to sign affidavits to switch parties and that Brown County shouldn’t have either. “Do I believe that Secretary of State policy was vio-
lated? Absolutely. Do I believe that voters were disenfranchised? Absolutely”, said Hall. A representative of the Secretary of State’s Office said May 30 that the office was “gathering facts in the matter” and offered no further comment. Brown County Democrat Party Chairman Dallas Hurt said that his concern was that voters be made aware that changing their party affiliation was a two year commitment, and that was one reason he advocated using the affidavits. “These people who switch parties cannot vote in other party elections, sign petitions or otherwise participate in the party process until and unless they switch back in the primary election of 2014”, Hurt said.

Sixapplyfor MoreFosterParentsneeded commissioner BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press
BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Six candidates have stepped forward to fill the term of County Commissioner Rick Eagan for the remainder of 2012. They are Tony Applegate, Christopher Renshaw, Jack Crout and Gary Steele, all of Georgetown. Dale Reynolds of Russellville and Douglas Eagan of Ripley have also applied for the position. Applegate and Renshaw are current Georgetown village council members. Crout is a former candidate for county commissioner, and Reynolds left the Brown County Commission
in 2009 after serving three terms. Steele ran against current county commissioner Bill Geschwind to fill the seat vacated by Reynolds. Eagan is the son of Rick Eagan, who passed away suddenly on May 8. Brown County Republican Party Chairman Paul Hall said “We plan to interview all six candidates at our central committee meeting on June 7, and we anticipate making our choice at that time.” The candidate chosen will take office immediately and remain until the end of 2012. That person will then preCONTINUED ON PAGE 6
Her mother was hooked on drugs and left her and her sister alone for days at a time. She would find food whereever she could and hide it, in case there wasn’t anything to eat a day or two down the road. She also took care of her two year old sister, trying to feed her and make sure she had diapers. She was four years old. These two girls escaped that life because someone stepped up and volunteered to become a foster parent... and right now there are more children in Brown County that need someone else to do the same. “We have 53 kids in
placement right now, and we could really use at least five more stable homes”, said Courtney Meder. She is a Foster Care Coordinator with the Brown County Department of Job and Family Services. Meder said that ninety percent of current foster cases are the direct result of parental drug abuse. Usually a grandparent or other relative will step up to take care of the children, but Meder said that has changed recently. “Within the past several months, we haven’t had very good success at finding placement with relatives for these children”, said Meder. She added that the increase in Heroin abuse has made situations for local CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

ODOTmoneyforschools BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Village of Mt. Orab has been awarded $161,000 for the ‘Safe Routes to School’ (SRTS) program, through the Ohio Department of Transportation. The funds are used to remove barriers such as a lack of infrastructure and unsafe infrastructure. The grant money is the second installment for the Mt. Orab SRTS project, the first installment of $198,354 was received in April 2011. Phase
one consists of on-campus sidewalks and a small segment along Tri-County Highway from Campus Drive to Boyd Road. “After being approved for the initial grant for the SRTS project,” explained Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford, “we began the first phase which includes building sidewalks on our schools property. Our designs for phase one of the project are ready to go and we will begin bidding out later this summer or early fall.” Lunsford added that he was very pleased to hear that
the second grant had been approved and the planning on phase two can begin. According to ODOT, projects for SRTS encourage and enable children who attend the schools to safely walk or bicycle to and from home. “Our aim is to help communities improve safety through engineering and education,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “We believe that Safe Routes to School grassroots programs are the key to encouraging safer behaviors.” SRTS awards went to inCONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Auditor prepares FP School District farm owners for big increases BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press
CMYK
Brown County Auditor Doug Green attended the May 17 Fayetteville-Perry Local Board of Education meeting to offer an update on how the 2012 re-appraisal of property values would effect the districts revenues. Green told the board that the issues regarding the changes in property taxes for next year is an everchanging environment. “We have already identified that Fayetteville-Perry is at the 20 mill floor, and not below it,” Green began. “In 1974, House Bill 920 established a guarantee to school districts to always have 20 mills of operating levy funds, now matter what.” Green said that with its inside mills, the district has approximately 30 mills of operating funds, but of that amount the district is down to the 20 mills. “When property value increases, the millage decrease, for anything in the outside millage,” he said. “So as values decrease (which is what is expected), millage will increase. This is both bad and good, depending on what the school wants to work through.” Green also talked the board members through a summary of bond retirements for the district. Board president Angela Murphy asked Green just how much one mill cost tax payers in the district. Green said one mill meant approximately $31 for a $100,000 home minus roll-backs for residential property. Green added, however, that the district has one levy that will end in 2014, but the debt will not end until 2017 or 2018. Another levy will drop off in 2017. Green added, “Along with the 10 percent reduction estimate in our residential values, CAUV (Current Agricultural Use Value) tables will see big changes depending on soil types in the district. Currently, in
this district, farmers are paying $590 per acre. It will go to $1,060. So the decrease to residential taxes may very well be offset by these CAUV increases.” Green said all the worries about school revenues being cut by 10 percent may all be for nothing, but no one knows for sure. He added that his office would not be able to crunch all the numbers until late summer or early fall after the close of the second-half collection. He said it would be late August or early September before he had the numbers due to software issues. In other business at the meeting, board treasurer Jo Anna Carraher reviewed the 5-year forecast for the district which had to be signed that night. Carraher went through the 5-year forecast step by step with the board and described it as an ever-changing issue. She said that the district should be okay financially through 2012. She reviewed actions the board took including entering into a three year agreement with the certificate in place with the union to freeze the base salary but to continue giving step increases. The board also negotiated a 15 month contract with employee health insurance which locks in a good rate until October of the 2012-2013 school year. Those steps along with several employee retirements expected in upcoming years have the district in a good position. “We’ve done a lot to save money,” Carraher said, “But it could all change tomorrow.” Following an approximate hour and a half long executive session the following recommendations were approved, including; • accepting a letter of resignation from Jack Bailey, effective may 30, 2012; • approve several supplemental contracts; • approve posting of the cafeteria supervisor’s posi-

STAY IN GRACE
The Bible has a wonderful revelation about salvation! That is, we are all saved by grace through faith! Everyone who is saved has been saved by the grace of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9.) That is truly liberating! You don’t have to work for your salvation in Christ Jesus. Indeed, no one can work their way into Heaven. Everyone goes through the Son of God, that being Jesus, to be with the Father God! But is this new position in Christ always secure? Is this salvation possible to lose? Can we fall from this grace that God gives? Yes! We live by ‘free will.’ God has no robots serving him. Until the day we die, we so chose to serve the Lord God. If we choose to stop living under grace, we are lost again. This preacher, like all others I suspect, has had someone come to him about a funeral. The deceased was once a church member years ago, the preacher is told. With expectancy in their eyes, the family wants the deceased preached into Heaven. Sad. But the thought is, ‘once saved, always saved’, or, ‘once in grace, always in grace’. The theme of the book of Hebrews is really a refutation of ‘once in grace, always in grace’. We can walk away from grace/salvation by our own choice. Paul is writing to Christians when he says in Hebrews 3:12-14: “See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.” NIV Notice the ‘if’ word in that text. This salvation by grace is firm ‘if’ you so chose. If you desire to leave you can. God forces no one to neither come to him nor remain in him. If leaving the Christian faith were not possible then Hebrews 10:26-39 would make no sense. Verse 10:26: “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left.” NIV
Even the Apostles were warned of falling away by the Lord. In John 15:6 he says to them: “If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire.” Judas Iscariot did just what Jesus warned not to do! The Prodigal Son parable is a classic example. (LK 15) It is well-known even among those outside the church! Consider it here. The father is God. No one doubts that. The son was his child in good standing. He was in the church, under the grace of the father. He chose, as we know, to leave the grace life with the father. He went to the ‘far country’. He was dead. (Verse 15:24.) He no longer lived under grace or was saved in that condition. Then, by choice he returned! Good news! He repented and went back to the father. Verse 15:18 says: “I will set out and go back…” That is repentance. He goes back and is now alive again! He is back within the grace of God. (Verse 15:24) So, a Christian can fall away and be lost, if he CONTINUES in his non-faith. There is a point when a Christian can cross the line of faith to non-faith. BUT HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS! You don’t have to leave in the first place. God equips you with the ability to stop from walking away. Be faithful to worship, be aware of Satan’s ways and be ever vigilant of the world’s teachings. AND the good news is: if you left and desire to come back, the Father is waiting with open arms to hold you and renew that grace! Fantastic! Don’t stay in the far country. In Revelation 2:10, John will say to be faithful even to death (as some were being murdered for their faith). If we are faithful when we die, God promises: “I will give you the crown of life.” “All the churches of Christ send greetings.” Romans 16:16. NIV

Letters to the Editor
Parent upset by coaches actions Dear Editor, As a concerned parent, I would appreciate your consideration in printing this letter. each year before the students can participate in any sports program, the athletes and parents must attend a meeting. The purpose of this meeting is for the Athletic Director and coaches to go over the parents and athletes respecting not only our team but the other teams as well and good sportsmanship in general. We are also supposed to watch a video on good sportsmanship and parents not interfering with the game. On May 15, 2012, while playing an away game, my daughter and another player misplayed a ball in the field. When the inning was over, my daughter ran to the dugout and was met by one of the coaches. The coach proceeded to push my daughter’s left shoulder hard enough to where she stumbled and bumped into a teammate. When this happened I saw another of our coaches drop his head
and walk away. The next inning my daughter almost made an outstanding play. One of the coaches hollered, “Now that’s what I mean.” I responded in anger, “It took a **** shove to wake my daughter up!” At the time I was seated in the same area as some of the parents of the other team. I feel I owe those parents an apology for my outburst. I just couldn’t bite my tongue after witnessing the coach shove my daughter. After the game I approached the coach and said, “I have never shoved my daughter the way you did during the gamer.” He replied that he just touched her and I replied, “You shoved her!” He then said that he had apologized to her. I turned and walked away still disgusted with his actions. Upon arriving at our school to pick my daughter up after the game, I observed the coach talking to my daughter like nothing had happened. I was so upset by this that I parked
far enough away from them that she would have to walk to our vehicle so I wouldn’t say anything I’d regret later. When she got in our vehicle I asked her if the coach had apologized to her. I explained to her that I had talked to the coach about the incident. She replied that nobody had apologized to her. My daughter and I decided it was in the best interest of the girls not to bring the incident to the school’s attention until after the season was complete. The following day, I was informed my daughter had been called into the office because the incident had been brought to the school’s attention. On May 17, 2012 I called the school about the incident. The school informed me they had warned the coach. I responded, “Is that all you’re going to do? I have to live with what I saw the rest of my life.” I informed the school of our decision not to pursue the matter until the season was over. That evening at
our game a school official approached me and informed me the coach was not at the game. The school felt it was better for the coach not to be there. I was shocked they had taken it upon themselves to do this. The official said that they would let me know by May 21 of their decision on the incident. I found out my daughter was being blamed for the coach not being at the game, so I called the school that Friday to ask them to inform the other coaches that I was the one that informed the school about the incident. I only did this because I didn’t like my daughter being blamed for something she hadn’t done. My questions are: Was I wrong in wanting to wait until the season was over to address the incident and not bring distraction to the team? Which is more important, protecting a coach and have successful seasons or protecting our student athletes? Rick Davy Hillsboro

Buford Memorial Day ceremony a success laid to rest in the Buford Cemetery had their names read by Mrs. Koneta Rammel, Mrs. Ginger Wilt and Mrs. Glenda Barr. All veterans at the program were recognized and thanked for their service to our great country. Mr. Bob McClain donated a new flag for the cemetery and was raised during the service followed by everyone joining in the singing of the StarSpangled Banner. Mrs. Neva Merriman shared a reading on the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. Mr. Hess then introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Robert “Bob” Hodson
of Hillsboro. Bob and his wife grew up in Clay Township and graduated from Buford High School. The marching band closed by playing the TAPS followed by the Highland Country Honor Guard with the 21 gun salute. Mr. Glenn Hess then gave the benediction. A very special THANK YOU goes out to the Clay Township Trustees and the great job they do in keeping the cemetery looking great; to Mrs. Koneta Rammel, Mrs. Neva Merriman and children for putting the flags on the veteran’s graves and all
around the cemetery; to the Whiteoak High School Marching Bank for sharing their musical talent, the Highland County Honor Guard for their participation, Mr. Robert Hodson for his words of wisdom; to the Clay Township firemen and to those who made the parade a success, to Mr. Glenn Hess for emceeing the event, and Mrs. Neva Merriman for putting everything together. The Buford Community and Clay Township are proud of the many veterans who served their country and those who are still serving. Glenda Barr

Maintaining freedom requires action Dear Editor, Brother Knights and other concerned Citizens, We have a major problem facing us today. That is the government is trying to take away one of our Constitutional guarantees, and that is the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. I for one will not stand idly by while this is in the process of happening, as you should not also stand by and let this happen.
Notify the President of the United States and inform him we will not let this happen, also notify your Congress Representatives by phone and email that you expect them to defeat the HHS mandate. You may say, you have done everything you can do, but have you really? A lot of people complain about events after they are over and completed and if you ask them did they vote or try to do anything about the prob-
lem, they say generally, "No I didn't vote or call or write the President or my Congressional representatives". They also say someone else will do it. If our forefathers had said that, where would we be today? Don't be one of those, you can do something about it now, please make those calls, faxes, email or regular mail and do it today.

Betty Ross of the Glen Helen Raptor Center in Yellow Springs Ohio returned one of the eaglets to the nest area at Brown County Rural Water on Monday, May 28, 2012. The eaglet was released and one of the adults circled over the area within two minutes. The eaglet jumped and flapped its wings and headed for some tall grass. It was a warm day and the eaglet became warm and it moved close to the woods in the shade. The eaglet that had a fractured vertebra, pelvis, and hip was euthanatized on Wednesday, May 30, 2012. This eaglet wasn't able to stand and wasn't making any progress toward getting better. The third eaglet has had surgery for a fractured wing and has a dislocated shoulder and joint. There isn't anything that can be done for the dislocation. This eaglet is recovering at the Raptor Center.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 frastructure improvements for 46 other Ohio communities for improving sidewalks, creating new walking/biking connections, putting in bike racks and improving crosswalks and other safety features in communities all across the state. More comprehensive projects to be funded include the construction of new sidewalks, curb extensions and pavement markings. Still other funds will go to providing education and encouragement programs on
the SRTS concept. ODOT has administered the SRTS program since 2004 and has awarded more than $48 million in project funding. According to Jeff Stine, Mt. Orab’s engineer, phase two of the project will include finishing sidewalks on Boyd Road as well as on West Main. “Phase three money will be used to complete everything we started in phase one and two,” Stine said. “We also plan on doing some work in phase three out as far as Brooks Malott Road.
Originally we had one mega project planned, but ODOT only distributes the money in pieces, so we broke it into the three phases. It’s going to be really nice and safe for students at Western Brown.” The Village of Aberdeen also received funding from the SRTS in 2009 to extend sidewalks from RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington Middle School to the Aberdeen Library. Mt. Orab Council will apply for one more grant for phase three of its project in the near future.

Bolte to compete in Miss USA pageant CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 be televised nationally on NBC June 3 at 9 p.m ET. Pageants are still relatively new for Bolte, 23, who focused on graduating high school and college before competing in her first pageant, which was Miss Ohio USA. Bolte attended St. Andrews Presbyterian College in North Carolina and was active in the equestrian program. She competed on several teams and helped her teammates reach nationals her junior and senior year. Bolte also volunteered with several organizations while she was in college and earned a degree in business administration with a focus in marketing and management and a minor in equine studies. “I have been so busy with that I had no time to do a pageant,” Bolte said last year. Once she graduated college in 2011, Bolte said her mom suggested a pageant again, and this time she de-
cided to participate. “I wanted an opportunity to make a difference,” Bolte said about her decision. Bolte competed in the Miss Ohio USA pageant October 14-15, 2011. The three areas of competition included interview, swimsuit and evening gown and judging criteria included poise, confidence, character and personality. Bolte was named Miss Ohio USA and said she could not believe it. “I was so shocked,” she said after the pageant. “I didn’t know what my name was, I didn’t know what my age was, I just looked at the crowd.” Melissa Pitchford, executive director of Miss Ohio USA, said after the pageant that Bolte would spend the year representing the state of Ohio. “Her year will be all about personal growth and development,” Pitchford said. Bolte said since being crowned Miss Ohio, she has been able to work with the
Pink Ribbon Girls, an organization for young breast cancer survivors, has been teaching horseback riding lessons and has been mentoring teenagers to help them gain confidence. In addition, Bolte has been participating in a variety of activities with other Miss USA contestants and has been spending time preparing for the Miss USA pageant. She said she has been working with a choreographer, running and working with a fitness coordinator, brushing up on her knowledge of government and politics and more. “I’ve been trying to get sleep when I can,” Bolte joked about her new schedule. Bolte said the New York media tour was one of the most fun things she has been able to do as Miss Ohio USA. She said she was able to tour the city and appear on several shows, including E! News, with other contestants.

Some families in Brown County are still struggling to clear downed trees and debris from their property as a result of the March 2, 2012 tornado. The Ohio Valley LongTerm Recovery Committee understands the problem and have researched ways in which to assist in cleanup efforts. The committee found that volunteer organizations do immediate emergency response of clearing trees from houses and ensure a safe ingress/egress to each home and most of the work has been completed. The Ohio Valley Long-
Term Recovery Committee has prepared a list of agencies that can assist home owners in their clean-up projects. The list is in no way inclusive but a starting point: • Neighborhood Stabilization Program/Grant, contact Annette Decatur at (513) 732-7125 or visit sdecatur@countyclermontohio.gov; • Ohio Department of Natural Resources, contact Tim Wilson at (937) 3784920; • Ohio State University Extension Office Agriculture and Natural Resource Educator, contact Gigi Neil
Sheriff’s office investigates identity/banking scams Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger reports that the Brown County Sheriff’s Office has recently received complaints of telephone scams, traditionally from a male caller with an accent, stating that he is with the victim’s insurance company and “needs to verify information such as name, address, age, etc. so that he can send out new medical cards.” The caller then asks the victim to reveal BANKING information in order to verify who they are speaking with. Sheriff Wenninger says, “This scam to obtain banking information is of great concern. With the recent health care changes in the United States, many individuals may fall victim to this type of scam. I would like to remind individuals
that anyone representing their insurance company will not need to ask you for your personal information such as address, date of birth and social security numbers, they will already have this information on file. If you are ever in doubt on the legitimacy of a caller…never give out any personal information, especially BANKING information.” Anyone who has recently given this type of information should report it to their local law enforcement agency. “The best defense is to be aware of these predators and prevent becoming a victim by considering what you are going to say prior to saying it to someone over the telephone” says Sheriff Wenninger.

“The other fun thing is hosting events with the organization I’ve worked with,” Bolte said. “I worked at the Cedar Point opening, was in the Cincinnati Reds parade and walked out the opening pitch. That was a blast.” Now, Bolte is busy at the Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. making final preparations for the Miss USA pageant. The pageant begins this week with preliminary competition, and the pageant will be broadcast live on NBC at 9 p.m. ET June 3. “I am looking forward to the live performance, being on stage and getting to represent the state of Ohio,” Bolte said about the competition.

Kasich visits Clermont County to speak at Mt. Carmel Brewing Company New bill changes requirements for tasting at craft brewers BY Kristin Bednarski The Brown County Press
Kristin Bednarski/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS
Governor John Kasich visited Mt. Carmel Brewing Company May 10 after House Bill 243 went into effect. The law eases permit regulations to allow breweries and distilleries to serve samples of their products. From left are Kathleen and Mike Dewey, owners of the brewery, Governor Kasich and David Goodman, director of the Ohio Department of Commerce.
Governor John Kasich and director of Ohio Department of Commerce David Goodman visited Mt. Carmel Brewing Company in Clermont County May 10 to visit a family business that is benefiting from a recent common sense law change Governor Kasich supported. “We are glad we were able to get this bill through,” Governor Kasich said about House Bill 243. The bill, which Governor Kasich signed in December 2011, allows Ohio craftbrewers and distillers to provide samples of their products to customers without having to
purchase an additional permit. “For around 70 years, if you were a micro brewer you couldn’t sell sampleson your premises,” Goodman said about the permit regulations. “People couldn’t taste, now they can.” Lyn Tolan, chief of communications for the Ohio Department of Commerce, said the $3,906 manufacturing permit now also allows brewers and distillers to sell samples. Before, they were required to purchase a separate $3,906 permit to let customers taste their products. “It kind of didn’t make sense,” Tolan said about the previous law. She said the double permit cost was not only expensive
and unrealistic for some small-volume craft brewers, but it also made it difficult for brewers and distillers who do not bottle their product to share it with customers before they buy larger quantities. “We are glad we can do this,” Tolan said about changing the requirements. “It is an opportunity for business to grow but not necessarily mean more consumption.” Tolan said the number of breweries, especially craft breweries, is growing in Ohio and has nearly doubled since 2007. Mt. Carmel Brewing Company is an example of a brewery that was positively affected by the bill. “Everything you’re seeing today is a new chapter of a new story,” Patrick Clark, an employee at Mt. Carmel Brewing Company said May 10. Clark said before the bill was passed, employees at Mt. Carmel could talk about their product and give tours of the brewery but could not allow guests to sample the variety of beers they produce. “The best thing we could do was ask preferences,” Clark said. “Now tasting is included in your brewing license.” Clark said Mike and Kathleen Dewey, founders and owners of Mt. Carmel Brewing Company, began building a tasting room at the brewery as soon as they heard about the law change. The bill went into effect March 22, and once the tasting room at Mt. Carmel Brewing Company was complete, the Deweys invited Governor Kasich to their brewery to see the new addition. “There is no way we could have done it without the employees and fans and without you all here,” Kathleen Dewey told Governor Kasich and his staff. Dewey talked about how the brewery has grown from a hobby her husband, Mike, pursued into a family business. She said they have experienced smart growth and have expanded the brewery since they began selling beer. “Now we are on the next phase, which is our tap room,” Dewey said. Governor Kasich said it was great to have an opportunity to visit the brewery, meet the owners and see the positive changes and opportunities the bill created. “This is an example of something that is good for small businesses,” Governor Kasich said. “Anything we can do to make them more successful is going to help the community.”

Three headed to state BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press
The Brown County Press/ANDREW WYDER
Nick McAfee runs during the 1600-meter run at the Troy Regional last Friday night.
TROY-- It turned out to be another happy night at the track for Georgetown’s Jess Adamson last Friday night at Troy Memorial Stadium. The junior thrower had just thrown the shot put 57 feet to secure his third straight Division III Regional title in the event and a third straight trip to the State Track and Field Championships in Columbus on June 1-2. “It’s nice to have three regional championships,” Adamson said. “I think that’s kind of neat.” But after accepting his first place medal for his victory, Adamson admitted he wasn’t as happy as he hoped he could have been. Not to say Adamson wasn’t plenty happy that he secured his third straight trip to the state meet but he had another goal in mind -to throw at least 60 feet. While he wasn’t able to quite break that barrier in Troy, his performance was plenty good enough to give him the opportunity to try to this weekend on the
campus of Ohio State University. Adamson had throws of 57 feet, 54 ft., .25 in. and 56 ft., 6.75 in. in the finals of the shot put in Troy. All three throws were better than any other competitors best throw. Though he admitted, despite having been to state twice already, he’ll still be nervous on Friday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. when he steps into the ring at state, Adamson is confident he can meet his goals. Which, along with the obvious of wanting to claim a state title, are breaking the 60 foot barrier -- which he knows he can do thanks to a 59 ft., 10.75 in throw at a meet at Seven Hills in April -- and improving upon his fourth place finish from last year. “It’s all or nothing,” Adamson said of state. “If I get fifth (place) I won’t be happy. I’ll be happy with 60 but if I don’t hit my main goal I’ll be a little disappointed.” Adamson will be joined at state by two local performers he is quite familiar with. Also qualifying for state
from the Troy Regional was Adamson’s teammate, and classmate, Nick McAfee. The junior runner reached state for the first time in track and field by finishing third in the 1600meter run with a time of 4:23.31. He had made the State Cross Country Championships the previous two years. He stayed with the lead pack the entire race but wasn’t able to get past the two runners in front of him. “My coach told me to stay third or fourth through the whole race and try to bust the last lap. But I don’t know, I just felt a little bit tired,” McAfee said of his performance in the 1600. “I ran good. I was trying to go for the school record, which is 4:22.” McAfee hopes to break the school record in the 1600-meter run at state while securing a top four finish. Just a couple races after securing his spot at state, McAfee nearly doubled up on state appearances with the 800-meter run. Despite a mad dash on the second lap that saw him
pass several runners, McAfee came up just short. He finished fifth with a time of 1:58.71. The fourth place finisher ran the race in 1:57.50. “I just wasn’t expecting that many people to go up front,” McAfee said of the 800. He will race at 10:05 a.m. on Saturday morning. Joining the two Georgetown athletes will be, not surprisingly, Western Brown senior thrower Mack Tudor. Tudor, now a four-time state qualifier, advanced to state with by winning both the shot put and discus at the Division I Regional at Welcome Stadium in Dayton. He won the discus with a throw of 190 ft., 5 in. while his throw of 61 ft., .75 in. was enough to take home the shot put honors. “I feel like the performance was pretty good for being the regional champion,” Tudor said by phone Wednesday. “It wasn't what I was looking for. I am always looking for something bigger and better. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Youth catches up to the Lady Broncos State: Adamson,
B R O A D S H E E T
MASON-- The biggest reasons the Western Brown softball team had been able to surprise many and advance to their Division II Regional semifinal against Greenville last Thursday evening was because they had done the little things right. Despite fielding a roster with just one senior and two juniors, the Lady Broncos had continued to advance because they played good -- if not great, at times -- defense and got the big hit when they needed it. But in their matchup with the Lady Wave Thursday night at Mason High School, the Lady Broncos struggled at times with both and it cost them. Greenville seized control in the third inning as they scored six runs, with plenty of help from Western Brown, and never looked back as the Lady Broncos couldn’t manufacture a run despite putting a runner on base in six of the seven innings in a 9-1 loss that ended their season. “They got the big hits when they needed and caught the ball as they needed to catch it,” Western Brown coach Blaine Wallace
said afterward. “And we didn’t.” It seemed that after they escaped a Lady Wave threat in the first inning thanks to a nice relay from center fielder Bri Stacy to shortstop Brittany Palmer to third baseman Josie McElroy for the final out of the inning, the Lady Broncos were the team in control. Despite back-to-back hits from Morgan Fischer and Hope Jamison in the second and Morgan Nickell and McElroy in the third, the Lady Broncos just could not get the hit to put that elusive first run on the board. By the time the Lady Wave came to the plate in the third, the Lady Broncos had already left five runners on base. “The difference in the game was that we left 11 runners on base and they left three or four,” Wallace said. “That’s a big difference.” In the bottom of the third, the senior laden Lady Wave turned a couple of Lady Bronco miscues into a big inning. Haleigh Luce walked to lead off the inning and the next batter, Brionna Greer, tried to sacrifice her to second. Greer got the bunt down but was able to reach base safely when the ball got past

a pair of charging Lady Bronco infielders. Greenville seniors Paige Wolter and Kelly Martin took advantage as each collected hits to give the Lady Wave a 3-0 lead. The hits seemed to open the floodgates in the inning. The Lady Wave would go on to score on a botched pickoff attempt, a bunt back to Nickell and on a caught foul ball. Before Nickell gave up the two-run double to Martin, Wallace came out to talk to his infield and pitcher. He had an uneasy feeling how the inning was going to go. “I knew when I went out there it was gonna happen,” Wallace said of the inning. “You could just tell by the look on their face we were about to fall apart.” To their credit, the Lady Broncos didn’t give in. They continued to fight despite the big deficit. While they cleaned up the defense for the most part, they still couldn’t get the big hit. It took a passed ball in the top of the seventh -- after Greenville added three more runs -- for the Lady Broncos to get their lone run. Fittingly, it was lone senior Taylor Patten who scored the run in her last game as a Lady Bronco. Though the obvious difference in the game was that the Lady Wave made the
plays when they needed to, the less obvious reason was that the Lady Wave were simply a more experienced group. “A lot of it is that they play seniors and we play a lot of freshman and sophomores,” Wallace said. “Most of their better players are all seniors. They’ve been here two or three times and we haven’t.” While a disappointing way to have it end, the Lady Broncos (23-6) put together an unexpectedly strong season considering their youth and the fact they were coming off back-to-back seven win seasons. The Lady Broncos recovered from a bad first day of the season to lose just three games the rest of the way until last Thursday -- all to Clermont Northeastern and Felicity, who combined had one loss before they met for a trip to the state finals last weekend. It had been such a strong, and surprising, end to the season that the Lady Broncos had earned a No. 10 state ranking heading into their matchup with Greenville. “I thought we’d have a good season. I didn’t know we’d get this far. I’ll be honest,” Wallace said. “I thought we might have a chance to win a sectional. I didn’t know that we could win a district championship.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 “(But) I was going home happy with two gold medals around my neck.” As the city record holder in the shot put and discus as well as the state record holder in the discus, Tudor would seem to be in very good position to compete for a state title in both of his events. In the shot put Tudor comes in as the No. 3 seed but he looks for the event to come down to him and Coy Blair, of Logan High School, for the title. Blair beat him by just a couple feet when they squared off in the shot put at the Indoor Track and Field Championship this past winter. But as the state record holder in the discus, Tudor comes in as the prohibitive favorite. While it might affect some, it doesn’t really bother Tudor. “No I don't feel any pressure,” he said. “I'm coming in with the mindset that no one is taking it from me.” He’ll throw the shot put at noon on Saturday and the discus three hours later at 3:00 p.m. Meanwhile, back at the
Troy Regional, several local athletes had good days that nearly helped them earn state bids. You have to earn a top four finish to advance to state. Last Wednesday, May 23, the Georgetown 4x800 relay team of Logan Lucas, Jake Cropper, Kyle Damen and McAfee performed well enough to place seventh. That same day Ripley freshman Stephanie TaylorSizemore nearly made state in the high jump. She finished fifth after clearing 5 ft., 1 in. on the first try but couldn’t clear 5 ft., 2 in as the competition wound down. On Friday in Troy, Lady G-Men runner Kylie Watson earned an eight place finish in the 3200-meter run after she gave everything she had left in the final backstretch of the eight lap run to reach the podium. And finally, at Fairfield Union High School in Lancaster, the Eastern 4x400 relay team of Shelby Cowdrey, Lauren Towne, Katie Chaney and Kaylie Ruckel finished in eight place with a time of 4:35.48.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, June 3, 2012 - Page 19
BY Chris Chaney The Clermont Sun Chance Smith loved the game of baseball and his memory will never be forgotten. That was the message Mike Daly, the owner and operator of Flash Baseball, wanted to get across to the hundreds of people gathered around Field 5 of the Flash Baseball Complex in Saturday, May 26. “Everybody loved (Chance), he was really personable,” Daly said. “He was a very outgoing kid, he was a real pleasant guy. “He played baseball like a maniac, overly enthusiastic and he couldn’t go harder. He was a big kid, 210 lbs., but for a center fielder who would have played high-level college baseball, that’s how well he ran.” Smith’s life was cut short when he passed away on February 7, 2012. As a member of the Flash Baseball organization since its inception in 2002 at the age of six, Smith’s memory is sure to live on thanks to the memorial ceremony that retired his No. 7 jersey Saturday. “We have 14 teams and we are retiring his number seven forever,” Daly said. “Seven will be painted on the wall and seven will never be used again by a Flash team.” Flash Baseball is a travel

Chance Smith’s No. 7 was retired by the Flash baseball organization last Saturday.
ball organization that has all 14 teams competing in the Southwest Ohio League, a league that gives the youth in Southwest Ohio the best opportunity to play amateur baseball at the highest level in order to prepare players successful high school baseball careers as well as prepare its participants for college. The Flash teams play at the Flash Baseball Complex, a state-of-the-art facility that boasts 10 professionally maintained grass infields, five lighted fields, air-conditioned arcade, outdoor batting cages, playgrounds and an indoor training facility and restaurant. The complex holds 15 Continental Amateur Baseball Association sanctioned
tournaments a year. Smith was there from the beginning, before the complex was the masterpiece that it is today. Just a kid with a knack for the game and a smile that brightened everyone’s day. “His very first swing when he was a little kid, he came into the garage before we had everything built out there and I thought, ‘Whoa, this kid likes to hit a baseball,’” Daly said. “He never would swing just half way. Two strikes didn’t matter, he was swinging like he was coming out of his shoes.” Smith moved up the organization as he got older. The team that Smith was on in the SWOL was classified as National Team Gold, which is the highest
level of youth baseball in Cincinnati, the only Flash team to reach that level. Tragedy surrounded Smith’s death and Daly wanted to use the memorial service as a time to remind the kids as well as the adults in attendance that misfortunes like what Chance went through could be avoided if people are kind to one another and pay attention to what is going on around them. “I think in a low key way, the theme for the dedication is that we are not going to forget,” Daly said. Daly tells a story of Smith as an 11-year-old who had just finished a summer playing on two teams, participating on the 11-year-old team as well as the 12-year-old team. The teams played 110 games between them and Smith played in every one. When the season was over, Daly remembers Smith sitting with his head down and saying, “I can’t believe we’re done with baseball.” “He just loved the game,” Daly said. With the big yellow seven painted on the center field wall of each of the fields at the Flash Complex, Daly and the Flash family made sure that Chance’s memory will never be forgotten and his love for baseball will live on even after the season is over.
MRP hosts first ever Cannonball Run The first ever Holman Motors Cannonball Run event was held at Moler Raceway Park on Friday night and what a way it was to kick off the Memorial Day Weekend. The Holman Motor Modifieds were the top division for the night as $2,500, as well as a chance to fire off a Civil War era 6 lb. Field Gun, was on the line. Following the six-car fast dash redraw, it was Shon Flanary on the pole and leading the dash but current points leader Devin Gilpin would charge from his fourth starting spot to take the win and claim the pole position in the feature event. In heat race action, it was Scotty Kincaid, Matt Hamilton and Bryan Barber claiming victories while Derrick Davis claiming the last chance B-main event. Gilpin and Flanary on the front row in the feature and those two would race sideby-side, nose to tail for the first 15 or so laps until Gilpin
would slowly pull away and claim his sixth victory of the season in the 40-lap feature event. Flanary would finish second with a great battle behind them as Joe Godsey would finish third (started 14th) just ahead of Derek Groomer in fourth and Barber in fifth. The Holman Motors Chevette Division saw Rusty Yarger claim his second feature win of the season. Miles Tarvin would finish second as he held off a hard charging Davis, who started in 15th after having problems in his heat race event. Jeff Watson and Josh Francis would round out the top five spots in the feature event. It looked like Dillan White was going to claim his first ever feature win at MRP as he was driving away from the field in the Mt. Orab Ford Late Model Division but mechanical woes (engine) would bring him to a stop following lap eight. On the restart, Duane Chamberlain was out front with Sardinia’s
Barry Doss right with him. By lap 20 Chamberlain started pulling away and it was clear that he was going to victory lane. Stapleton would claim second position with a final lap pass of Doss, who held on for third, while John Whitney and Tim Prince rounded out the top five. The Crazy Compacts race had a few new competitors and it was one of those new competitors who came home with the 15-lap victory. Rex Smith Jr. won both his heat race and the feature event in his first ever race at MRP. It wasn’t easy as he and Jerry Gibson III battled for the first 10 laps before the engine started fading and eventually going away in the final few laps. Smith was able to win and honor his brother Tyler Smith, who previously drove this machine but recently passed away. Doug Back was able to come home in second while Matt Gilardi placed third as he blew a tire on the
final lap. The entire Moler Raceway Park family sends out their thoughts and prayers to one of the great competitors in the Holman Motors Modified Division, Dave McWilliams. He was in a very serious crash and is now on the road to recovery. Hope to see you back soon Dave!

In April, Mrs. Amy Cunningham, Graphics Instructor at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center, accompanied a team of three of her students to the State SkillsUSA Competition at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus. The team was made up of three seniors from the Graphics II program: Bryan Music, Kathryn Fitzpatrick and Zac Colwell. The team took top “gold medal” honors for their presentation for the Tech Prep Showcase competition. The state-level competition recognizes outstanding Tech Prep and Career Pathways students for their ability to present through design and construction of the display, and the application of skills and education brought about through career and technical training. The competition involves presenting a project as a team. This group focused on a project they had completed at Southern Hills CTC, creating a promotional package for a local cake decorating business that included designing a business logo, color scheme, business card, and vinyl graphics. When the team took their designs to the customer she was so pleased that she allowed the students to install the designed vinyl graphics for her company on the hood and side of her car. The team designed a unique, elegant business card of a vertical design that includes a QR (quick response) code on the card that takes the user directly to the business’ website. The team implemented the same color scheme of deep pink, turquoise, and brown throughout the whole project. Bystanders thought the colors looked yummy and even make them hungry, proving the colors targeted the right customers.

Hamersville students enjoy air show Mike Layman and four members from a remote control airplane club conducted a dynamic air show for Hamersville School second graders on May 16th. Second graders walked across the street and behind Mrs. McKinney's house to view an exhibit of several remote control airplanes and watch them fly. Pilots described the acrobatic maneuvers throughout the show. This presentation began with an Air Evac Life Team helicopter landing in a field near Mrs. McKinney's house. The team invited each student to board the helicopter to get a close-up look inside. Mrs. Barr's class, Mrs. Fite's class, and Mrs. Rankin's class had their pictures taken by the side of the helicopter with the Air Evac Life Team. Then we watched the helicopter take off. Hamersville School second grade teachers and students wish to thank Mike Layman, the remote control airplane club, the Air Evac Life Team, and Mr. and Mrs. McKinney for making May 16th a very special learning day.

PIG PEN We are all familiar with the parables in Luke 15, however, today I want to take a little different look at them. Let’s begin in verse 1: “Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. and the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.” Jesus, knowing their thoughts, gave them 3 parables. The first one begins in verse 4: “What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” All sinners need repentance, however, there are people who think they that they do not need to repent. In the first parable Jesus uses sheep as an illustration. In the second He uses a coin. In the third He gives us a man with two sons. Verse 12: “And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.” Notice that he gave to both sons, not just the younger one. Then the younger one decides to leave home. The latter part of the parable shows that there was enmity between the two brothers. Enmity is a mutual hatred one for the other. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence among the human race. Sometimes it is spawned by jealousy and sometimes by untold reasons. Look what happens when the younger boy comes home. Verses 25-32: “Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry...” He had not as yet even seen his brother for untold years! Where did that anger come from? “...and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead: and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.” Now there is not indication that the father had any influence on the older brother whatsoever. The parable ends with the father trying to persuade the older son to reconsider. It is terrible when this happens within families. But it does not just happen in our homes between siblings. It also happens in our churches between our spiritual brothers and sisters. That is just as much a tragedy as when it happens in the home. You would think that people who went to the same church and received the same Saviour could figure out a way to get along. If the church had perfect unity and harmony throughout, we would have revival. We do not have revival because somebody is always mad at somebody! It is a terrible situation! It should not be! Now go back to the parable of the sheep that could not find his way home. The shepherd had to leave the ninety and nine and go out and put that sheep on his shoulder in order to bring that sheep home safely. Neither the sheep nor the coin could find its’ own way home and neither could they repent. But in the third parable the younger boy repented and came home on his own. Quit wallowing in the stinking pig pen, repent and come home!

“I think it’s important that voters be aware of that fact.” Republican Board of Election member Mariah Votel said that she encountered poll workers who were confused about directions given by the board of election regarding the affidavits. “I was asked about the affidavits at the first precinct I visited. I told (the poll worker) that they were not to ask for the affidavits and they responded that they were told to do so by (Board of Elections Director) Kathy Jones.” Votel said she personally witnessed a voter request an out-of-party ballot and then change their minds when

told about the affidavit requirement. “That’s when I called Kathy Jones and said we need to call the Secretary of State’s office.” Votel said she and Jones called the Secretary of State’s office about 10:30 a.m. and that they were told that the affidavits were not required and were not to be asked for. Around noon, another call went out to poll workers, telling them to fill out the affidavits when a voter requested an out-of-party ballot, but not to have the voter sign it. That directive came from Jones at the direction of Hurt. “During the course of that election, we saw people
come in and switch from one party to the other , knowingly and willingly, because they wanted to vote for a particular candidate on the other side”, Hurt said. “As long as they were told that particular party switch was going to last for two years, I didn’t have a problem with that whatsoever. I did have a problem with them being given a ballot and left with the assumption that they had not changed parties. That was the purpose and use of that form.” Regarding the call to the Secretary of State’s office, Hurt said he was aware of another call made to the same office where a different answer was returned.
“Mariah got one answer from one person that she contacted and (Deputy Director Kathy Long) got another answer that you could not require (voters) to sign it, but it was an appropriate affidavit to be used by the poll workers. So, two different employees of the Secretary of State’s office were contacted by two different parties and a different shade of answer came back from those two different chains. I did not make a direct call to the Secretary of State’s office because I was relying on what is written in the printed handbook.” Hall’s opinion of the matter is direct. “My attorneys and I are
More Foster Parents needed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 children more dangerous, because addicts lose focus on caring for the children as their addiction takes over. “It’s just a nasty situation with Heroin right now. The kinds of things these people are subjecting their kids to, it’s appalling.” Meder said that includes neglect for hours or days at a time, or leaving the children in situations where they are unsafe. Meder said that she hopes that enough families will step forward to take on an important, but sometimes difficult, task. “We need at least five families that are willing to take in kids that can be very difficult as they adjust, to take on sibling groups or teenagers. We need people who want to help and have open hearts.” Meder said one reason the need for foster families has increased has been a positive.
“Most of our families who have taken in children have ended up adopting those kids. We’re not losing families because people are unhappy, we’re losing them because they adopt. That’s a great thing, but we need to replace those families.” Meder said that the Brown County JFS has added a website to aid in the foster family recruiting process. The website address is www.fosterinbrown.org. The following information about the application process for families was taken from that website: “After an inquiry is made and an application is submitted to our office, a Homestudy Assessor will be assigned to help guide you through the process. The homestudy is an exploration of the applicant’s history, characteristics and strengths that will lead to successful foster/adoptive placement. In addition, many documents must be completed and
available for review by your assessor. These documents include but are not limited to: • Physical exams and Medical statements • Financial statements • Verification of marital status • Verification of employment • Criminal background checks • Safety audit of the home The homestudy process can take up to six months to complete, however, many families complete the process more quickly. Prospective foster/ adoptive parents must complete 42 hours of “Pre-Service”, including First Aid/CPR. This training is designed to enhance your understanding of foster/adopt parenting issues and to increase knowledge about the needs of children whose lives have been impacted by abuse and neglect. Meder said that single parents are eligible to be foster
parents and that a prior mistake in life may not be a factor in disqualification. “If you are interested, please call us and allow us to begin the process”, Meder said. Meder added that many times, people are more qualified than they think. “For these kids, simply having electricity and food in the home is a big step forward. You don’t have to be rich, you just need consistency and patience. If you have those qualities, it more than qualifies you to help the children that we have.” There will be an open house at the Brown County Job and Family Services location on Mount Orab Pike in Georgetown from five to six p.m. on June 6. Those interested in more information on the foster child program may call Meder or Megan Seip at (937) 378-6104, extensions 146 or 103.
Landscaping plants toxic to horses BY Faye Mahaffey The Master Gardner With gardening season upon us, many people also are starting to think about landscaping their homes and farms. Often, landscape plant choices are based on aesthetics and hardiness. However, with horses in the mix, plant toxicity is perhaps a more important aspect to consider. Even if owners plant trees, shrubs, and flowers well out of pastured or stalled horses’ reach, the animals could still be exposed. Strong winds, storms, and flooding, for instance, can carry branches and other plant materials into pastures. Horses also can escape from confinement and gain access to areas normally out of reach. Garden workers might discard plant trimmings in pastures, unaware of how toxic some can be. Additionally, many farms have resident dogs and cats, so companion animal exposure to farm landscaping must also be considered. Following are some landscape plants that should be avoided on horse farms if possible. Give this list to landscape architects and gardeners before starting landscaping projects. For those farms with established landscapes, compare the below information to a list of existing plants to determine if removal or replacement of plants is warranted. Consult with your veterinarian or a veterinary toxicologist experienced with horse poisoning for more information on the risks associated with various garden plants and trees. The list below is intended for use in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky and surrounding
areas. It is by no means all-inclusive, but includes some of the more common and important plants that could pose a toxic risk to horses or farm dogs and cats. University of Kentucky’s College of Agriculture Article #1830’s list includes: Trees (to avoid): Red maple, wild cherry, black walnut, black locust, oak, Kentucky coffee tree, buckeye, golden chain tree, mimosa, persimmon, chinaberry, Tung nut, and cycad palms. Shrubs (to avoid): Japanese or other yew (Taxus) bushes, privet, common box, elderberry, Carolina allspice, choke cherry, serviceberry, buckthorn, fetterbush, laurel, and day-blooming Jessamine. Taxus bushes are especially toxic and ingestion of discarded Taxus hedge trimmings is a common cause of death in horses. Flowering garden plants (to avoid): Delphinium, lily of the valley, foxglove, rhododendron and azaleas, lobelia, sweet pea, castor beans, bulbs such as autumn crocus, lilies, iris, hyacinth, amaryllis, and daffodils; poppies, morning glory, bleeding hearts, pieris, lantana, lobelia, ground cherry, angel’s trumpet, periwinkle, monkshood, harebell, hibiscus, clematis, star-of-Bethlehem, bracken fern, rosary pea, baneberry, pheasant’s eye, Lords and Ladies, begonia, butterfly weed and other showy milkweeds, yesterday today and tomorrow, caladium, diffenbachia and philodendron species, moonflower and other Datura species, sesbania, honeysuckle, may apple, and blue indigo.

can also be toxic to horses and other animals if accidental exposure occurs. Crop gardens should be well-fenced to prevent animal access. Garden crop plants that can be toxic include onions, chives, garlic, shallots, rhubarb, turnips, potatoes and tomatoes (leaves and green fruits), tobacco, and avocados. Many weeds are toxic to horses and other animals. Garden weeds can pose a risk to horses if discarded into pastures. Some mulches also can pose risks to animals; avoid black walnut mulches and cocoa hull mulches in particular. Additionally, discuss risks of toxic plant exposure with neighboring property owners so they do not unintentionally poison your horses by discarding garden trimmings into your horse pastures. Another great resource is found on ohioline.ag.ohiostate.edu. Bulletin 762-00, Horse Nutrition, suggests that poisoning can be avoided by proper management of animals, pastures, and hay. Some of the poisonous plants common to Ohio are described in the bulletin along with color photographs for reference. Our daughter has owned and cared for horses most of her life and has often helped out vacationing horse owners when she can. She comes home with horror stories about the landscaping around some of the barns. She walks her horse pas-

tures almost daily to identify and destroy poisonous plants. OSUE Bulletin #762-00 stresses the importance of buying hay locally so that unfamiliar and potentially poisonous plants are not fed and seeds are not introduced to your farm. My brother and I owned a couple of horses when we were in high school. After looking at the lists of toxic plants, I am amazed that the horses survived! The rain missed us last week and the hot weather has forced me to water tomato plants. I sprayed the weeds in the driveways – a “first” for me in the month of May! I don’t usually spray until the end of June. The cotton seeds I planted 6 days ago have simply popped out of the dirt! I kept the soil nice and moist and the hot temperatures did the trick. We took at drive today to look at crops and I saw a little “dust devil” swirling in one of the fields. Some of you received lots of rain this week…some of us didn’t! Keep ahead of the weeds in your garden!
adamant that these actions were a violation of Secretary of State policy and that voters were unnecessarily burdened and disenfranchised.” Hurt disagrees that voters were denied the right to cast the ballot of their choice. “I don’t believe it for a minute. We had cases where someone did go ahead and change parties to vote for a candidate of their choice and we had voters who said that they would not change and they would vote for the candidates on their original party ticket if they had to change and make it a matter of record for two years. This is a closed primary state and we have only upheld the procedures outlined by the Sec-
retary of State in the handbook and that we have not abused the challenge requirements in any way whatsoever.” According to Ohio law, should the Secretary of State find that procedure has been violated, he can suspend or dismiss any Board of Election member or staff member. In other Board of Election business, on May 30 the board discussed advertising for applications for a clerk position made vacant by the resignation of Jill Schaffer. No official action was taken. The next meeting for the board is scheduled for June 7.

Buffalo Trace Birthday Blessings, Inc. now partnering with Hospice of Hope Buffalo Trace Birthday Blessings, Inc., a local nonprofit organization that celebrates the lives of children in need, is now partnering with Hospice of Hope to provide a Life Celebration for terminally-ill pediatric patients. While the child is receiving Hospice care and support during the final phases of a life-limiting illness, Birthday Blessings will plan a Life Celebration that includes fulfilling an end-of-life wish for the child. “Each celebration will be unique and bring family and friends together to make a sick child’s wish come true, while celebrating their life and the time they’ve had together,” said Jessica Kern, Birthday Blessings founder and board chair. Celebrations could include an afternoon at the zoo or aquarium; watching the Cincinnati
Reds or the University of Kentucky live in action; having their room redecorated or buying a special new toy. “Whatever the wish, Birthday Blessings will work with Hospice of Hope and our community to see that it comes true,” said Kern. Michael Parker, Director of Public Relations and Development with Hospice of Hope added, “We are extremely excited to partner with Buffalo Trace Birthday Blessings to help bring a last wish to our pediatric patients. Our children deserve the very best care that can be provided and this new partnership just adds a layer of excellence”. Birthday Blessings coordinated a Life Celebration for their first Hospice client earlier this month. The three-year-old little girl had outgrown her bed
and Birthday Blessings purchased a “big girl bed,” bed linens and pajamas for her. Birthday Blessings was founded in May 2010 and has since been coordinating birthday parties for children living at the Women’s Crisis Center. “It was always our goal to expand our programs,” said Kern. “This new partnership with Hospice of Hope allows us to reach more local children and hopefully put a smile of their face.” Donation wish lists are available on the organization’s web site and posted on Facebook regularly. Visit www.buffalotracebirthdayblessings.org for more information. You can also sign up to receive monthly email announcements about upcoming events, volunteer needs and high-need wish list items.

DAVID DUGAN plan or some agreement between the children, all the estate assets will have to be sold to settle Dad’s estate. The farmland, cattle, and equipment will be auctioned to the highest bidder. It does not look like Son will be able to farm the home place after all. Savings with Proper Planning With proper planning, a lot of this heartache and expense could have been avoided. Many tools are available to a farm estate and business planner for use in these type situations. Wills, trusts, special use valuations, family owned business interests, life insurance, gifting, leases, corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships are some of the tools that could be used. Which tools that could be used would depend upon Dad’s health, life expectancy, the finances of each of the family members, and their relationships with each other. By having a plan, the taxes could be eliminated, the estate administration costs decreased, and the hard feelings between Son and Daughter minimized. Estate and business planning can be your best investment and greatest gift to your family, heirs, and beneficiaries.

Gardening Cautions with Livestock This time of year, many people are out in their gardens and landscape. This week, Brown Co.

that we need to worry about in this situation. Plant selection around animals is a must. If you have livestock you realize that there are times that they get out. Someone fails to close or latch a gate, a tree falls across or a car runs through a fence, or they just simply get out. Faye mentions a few more details, but some evergreens or shrubs and trees can be dangerous. Another thing that can happen is plant debris can be blown into or washed into during storms. You know when a storm hits, and can check the area if have dangerous plants around. A bigger concern might be your friendly neighbor who just doesn’t know any better. While trimming the landscape, they throw the debris over the fence. If you have livestock and neighbors that possibly would not know of this concern, it might be a good time to stop over and have a little educational session. It would be much better than explaining why you have dead livestock and telling the neighbor the cause of death was something from their yard. Master Gardener Program Planned for Fall We will again offer an opportunity for those who are interested in gardening and volunteering to help others to become an OSU Extension Master Gardener. The planned dates will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting in October. The class will begin at 10:00 a.m. and conclude around 3:30 p.m. each day. Registration material will be available soon in the Adams, Brown and Highland Co. Offices. The class will be offered somewhere toward the center of the three counties plus Clermont Co. who will be joining us for this training class. If you would like information mailed to you once it is completed, simply call the local OSU Extension Office and we can add you to the list. The phone numbers are: Adams Co. 544-2339; Brown Co. 378-6716; and Highland Co. 393-1918. This class will be loaded with educational material for those interested in gardening. Topics will include soils and soil fertility, fertilizers, lawn care, plant pathology and diagnostics, woody ornamental, plant propagation and how to start plants, tree id, how to deal with wildlife damage, and more. There will be an evening class offered in Ross Co. starting in September. If an evening class works better for you, contact the Ross Co. Extension Office. The phone number for Ross Co. is 740-702-3200.

Estate Planning Starts June 28 The brochure and registration material is available at your local OSU Extension Office for the Estate Planning Workshop that will be held on four evenings this summer. The dates are June 28, July 26, August 9, and September 13. The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. and go until 9:00 p.m., at the Southern State Community College in Fincastle in the Appalachian Gateway Center. I have received some articles from an attorney who, in the past, wrote articles concerning Estate Plans. He gave me permission to use these for educational purposes. The attorney is based in Kentucky and these articles are over 10 years old, so some details could be different. This is just intended to be used as a teaching tool to get you thinking. ESTATE TAXES & CHILDREN Dad died suddenly this spring from a heart attack at 68 years old. Cancer had taken Mom 3 years ago. They had farmed all their lives putting together a successful farm operation. Dad owned 300 acres ($600,000) and leased additional farms. The operation ran a 50 head beef cow herd, 20 acres of tobacco, hay, and corn. He had $150,000 worth of cattle and equipment; $15,000 in his checking account; $60,000 in his savings and CDs; $10,000 IRA; and $15,000 of life insurance. His total estate is worth $850,000. Dad did not have a will or any other estate plan. Son, 45 years old, owned a farm next to Dad and had planned all his life to run the home farm some day. They had been sharing equipment and trading labor since Son started 4H. Each was dependent on the other to make their operations work. Son wants the farm badly, but his finances are very tight trying to run his farm, pay the bills, and help put two kids through college. Daughter, 47 years old, lives out of state with her husband and three children. She never really liked the farm way of life, but helped growing up, as her parents demanded. She and her husband own and operate a struggling small business. Their children are all in college or graduate school. Daughter wants her share of the Dad’s estate as fast as possible. The federal estate taxes, Ky. inheritance taxes, and estate administration costs will total over $100,000. Without an estate
