Judicial candidates trade barbs BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County judicial candidate Julie Steddom is accusing her opponent, Danny Bubp, of violating ethics rules. Bubp is denying any wrongdoing, and said that Steddom is in violation of the Ohio Code of Judicial Conduct, which governs judicial candidates, by raising the allegations. Both are running for Brown County Probate/Juvenile Judge. Steddom brought court documents from Adams County Probate Court to The Brown County Press on Sept. 3, including a letter written to Adams County Common Pleas Judge Brett

Wayne Gates/ THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Julie Steddom

Danny Bubp

Spencer dated April 8. Spencer accepted the let-

ter as a legal complaint against Bubp on July 28.

It was signed by Janetta Jackson, and claims that Bubp “acted inappropriately or unethically” in the handling of her father’s estate in 2010. “These are public records in Adams County that allege that Danny basically cheated a client out of $20,000 in a property sale from an estate. It’s serious allegation that I believe that Brown County voters need to know about”, Steddom said. “From the documents that I’ve looked at, the property was appraised at $100,000. Danny was the attorney for the estate. He sold the property for $72,000 on one day. On the next day, he bought it back from the buyer for $92,000. In the process, he paid himself $2500 from the

proceeds of the first $72,000. To me, looking on the surface, it looks like a clear conflict of interest to represent an estate and then to buy property from an estate from a third party...it smells bad.” Bubp responded to the allegations via an e-mailed statement. “While I’m out going door to door talking to Brown County residents about important changes in our Probate and Juvenile court, my opponent Julie Steddom has been distributing unproven and reckless information about one of the thousands of legal cases I’ve been involved in. It’s no surprise, after 30 years of legal practice with no ethics complaints against me, that just a few weeks before early vot-

ing begins, my opponent would launch this underhanded political attack. This is the kind of political smear that Brown County voters are sick and tired of and it’s the worst kind of politics”, Bubp wrote. He continued, “The real ethics scandal here is that Ms. Steddom, by launching this political smear, has violated the judicial ethics rules. Those rules prohibit judicial candidates from commenting on a case on any judge’s docket, unless it’s about yourself. She should be held accountable for this unethical behavior. Those rules prohibit judicial candidates from commenting on a case on any judge’s docket, unless it’s CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Court will hear appeal of coroner job ruling BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals has decided to hear an appeal of Judge John Kessler’s decision that Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau may remain in office. Court Administrator Ben Manning said that the deci-

sion was made by the court on Sept. 2. Attorney Tracy Hawkins filed a request with the court to hear the appeal in early August. State law requires that courts must “grant leave” for a losing side to appeal in a case involving the removal of an elected official. Hawkins said she is

pleased with the decision of the court and looks forward to making her argument. “We are very pleased that the Appellate Court accepted this case, especially since we did not have an automatic right to appeal”, Hawkins said.

A dispute between the Brown County Rural Water Association and Annette Mineer Applegate is moving to federal court in Cincinnati. Applegate attorney Kevin Hoskins filed a Notice of Removal of the case with the Brown County Common Pleas Court on Aug. 28.

“When a state court case relies on a federal statute, the defendants are entitled to remove it to federal court”, said BCRWA attorney Stan Purdy. Purdy said that Applegate has agreed to temporarily halt the construction effort to bring water to the approximately 300 homes in her Aberdeen mobile home park. “She agreed to voluntarily

stop construction until we can get a hearing on the temporary restraining order”, Purdy said. Hoskins confirmed that Applegate has halted the construction, but said that the approval process that Applegate has begun with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency will continue. Applegate said that the CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Brown County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Gusweiler talks to teachers at Western Brown on the importance of implementing the 40 Developmental Assets program in the district.

Western Brown joins in the battle against drug abuse BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

Becky Cropper, the 40 Developmental Assets Coordinator in Brown County, met with teachers, coaches and other faculty members of Western Brown Schools Sept. 2 to kick off the program in the district. Cropper began by introducing Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler who, according to Cropper, was instrumental in starting the 40 Developmental Assets program in Brown County. Judge Gusweiler talked briefly about the program and how it can change young people’s lives. The program is designed to help young people grow up healthy, caring and responsible. The judge spoke for several minutes expressing just how bad the drug problem really is in Brown County.

“All those deaths are souls lost,” Judge Gusweiler said, “What do I do about these numbers? As Brown County judge, I can tell you what’s going on in our community at any given time. I handle felony cases where people go to prison including the death penalty. So with the authority of my position, I can take your life, I can take your kids, I can take your car, pretty much anything you have. The only reason I say that is to tell you that there is a reason to listen to me.” Judge Gusweiler briefly talked to the group about how the 40 Developmental Assets program got it’s start. He said he had been asked to come into the schools and talk to kids about the program. He said he has talked to kindergarten kids through seniors. He has worked with Jim Frazier, superintendent of the Brown County Education Service Center and with

Becky Cropper speaks to the staff at Western Brown about the benefits of the 40 Developmental Assets program and how it can change a child’s life.

Steve Duncan, director of the Brown County Board of Mental health and Addiction Services, and they b ecame aware of the 40 Developmental Assets program. “I also met with all the superintendents in Brown County because they needed to be on board with this project,” Judge Gusweiler said. “I went down to Forest Hills where this program was being administered and where the program started and I watched it in action.” He continued, “Something like this program is long overdue for Brown County. I hope principals and teachers, superintendents, everyone involved with these children gets involved and doesn’t see this as just something else put on your plates. These assets are so simple and so basic which is why I love this program. They include everything that my father and mother taught me when I was a child.” Following Judge Gusweiler’s comments, Cropper talked about the program and how it would work at Western Brown. She heard many ideas from the teachers on how they might implement the program in their classrooms. Cropper also encouraged all the teachers to invite Judge Gusweiler to their rooms to speak to their students.

Residents living in the Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington School District will soon be seeing signs go up in yards throughout the district promoting the upcoming levy which will be on the November ballot. Mike Wright, coordinator of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Citizens for RULH Studentsâ&#x20AC;? group says every effort is being made by the group to get the word out on the necessity of passing the 2.6 mill general permanent improvement levy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to get people who voted against the levy the last time to talk to us,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know some people have questions and we want to give them the answers.â&#x20AC;? He continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The money that will be generated by this levy can only be used for specific things. It will generate about $251,000 each year for the next five years, allowing RULH to purchase new buses, technology and text books, as well as make repairs to the high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think residents of this district realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 25 years since that high school was built.

Three parent babies a possibility? The FDA is considering whether to allow a procedure that would result in a baby with DNA from three different parents. How is this possible, you ask? In order to answer that question, we have to take a look at organelle in most every cell that has a nucleus: the mitochondrion. The mitochondrion is usually referred to by its plural form mitochondria. It is referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. This is because mitochondria allow the cell to utilize oxygen. Without mitochondria, plants and animals would not be able to use the oxygen in our atmosphere. In order to get energy from our fuel we burn it. Whether it

HEALTH MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH be coal, oil, gas or a Big Mac, we release its energy by burning it. Although we think of burning something as lighting a match to it, what we are actually doing is combining it with oxygen; the match is just the “spark” that starts the process. Wait a minute, you might say. You can’t burn a Big Mac. No, but you can break it down and combine the carbohydrates, proteins and fats it contains with oxygen to release energy. This job of combining the end products of digestion with oxygen to release energy is what happens in the mitochondria. This energy is then stored in a special molecule called ATP which can then be used by the rest of the cell. The fact that most life on earth depend on the mito-

There are diseases caused by a dysfunction of the mitochondria. These diseases can be transmitted from an affected mother to her children. What the FDA is considering is a woman without mitochondrial disease donates an egg. Her DNA is taken out of that egg and the mom with bad mitochondria donates an egg. The nucleus from Mom is placed in the healthy woman’s egg and it is then fertilized by the father’s sperm. You end up with a child whose characteristics are all from Mom and Dad. Genetically the child has half its chromosomes from Mom and half from Dad, but all the DNA contain in every mitochondria in every cell is from the donor mom.

The raised bed gardens at the Ohio Veterans Home at Georgetown have a brand new look! Beautiful brick beds replaced the worn out wooden ones and the gardens look great! OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer, Susan Barber, donated “home-grown” tomato plants for the Veteran gardeners again this year. Herman Jesse, a Navy veteran, who served in WWII and the Korean War, has joined the gardeners this year. Herman was born in Ohio and learned how to garden from his Dad, who worked at the Eden Park Conservatory. Carrots are Herman’s favorite vegetable to plant because, “There’s nothing like a fresh pulled carrot!” Thanks to his daughter, Herman’s raised bed has gone “tropical” with banana trees! The recent hot and humid weather has

made Herman and the banana trees very happy. When asked what benefits he gained from gardening, his quick reply was, “I am a nature nut! I just love being out in the sun.” I have been pulling the cucumber vines and a few tomato plants. The tomato harvest is slowing down a bit. I have pickled peppers and will start on tomato juice tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that it is time to look at our list of September’s garden tasks that includes: Continue watering your garden as needed during dry weather Continue collecting seeds for next year’s garden Continue checking regularly for signs of pests and diseases Continue weeding your beds Cover water gardens with netting to catch any falling leaves Water newly planted trees CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Smile and say ‘peaches!’ Back in the day, once Labor Day was past, rural public schools returned to the classroom. We didn’t have room fees, schools provided the crayons, paste and construction paper we worked with. But right away a paper was sent home telling the parents that we would soon be having picture day. I was in first grade. There wasn’t a kindergarten then. My sister was already in 4th grade, so she was helping me be ready for my first official photo shoot and teaching me how to smile and we practiced in the mirror. Mom put both of us in curlers the night before, so she could style it real pretty the next morning. Up until now I had never

chondria on its cells to exist is amazing, but even more intriguing is the fact these mitochondria have their own DNA. They are almost like a cell inside a cell. In fact, one leading theory of how they came about is a symbiotic relationship between two cells. Possibly a mitochondrial cell was engulfed by another larger cell. The mitochondrion was then able to provide the larger cell with a ready supply of energy and in return, the larger cell protected the mitochondria from a hostile environment. In fact, the DNA in the mitochondria is similar to the DNA of bacteria. Half of the DNA in the nucleus of all your cells came from your mother and half from your father, but all the DNA in the mitochondria comes from your mother. Fathers do not contribute anything to the make-up of the mitochondria in all of our cells. And that fact brings us back to our opening sentence: a baby being born with three parents.

SHERRY MITCHELL TAKE JOY, A FARMHOUSE JOURNAL worn curlers. I didn’t sleep a wink the night before, not because I was so excited about having my school picture taken, but because those darn curlers, with plastic inserts inside the foam, hurt my head all night. I couldn’t get comfortable. I was thrilled to finally get up in the morning and get those out of my hair. I wore my favorite dress, white with pink embroidered flowers on the bodice with three-quarter sleeves. Mom styled, then sprayed our hair with lots of hair spray and placed a matching, pink bow in the center front above my bangs. “Perfect. Now don’t let anyone touch your hair,” she insisted. After giving us our twenty-five cent coin for our lunch money, which I placed in my brown purse which hung over my head and shoulder so it wouldn’t slip off and I might lose my lunch money, we boarded the school bus and off we went. I remember the day so very well as if it were yesterday. We stood in line forever it seemed. Then a lady came at me with one of those pocket combs. Like a good girl I said, “No, Mom said not to let anyone comb my hair.” She looked at me sweetly, and then came at me again. I ducked. “My Mom said not to touch it.” Next she wanted to take the purse off

my shoulder. “No, it has my lunch money in it.” She smiled sweetly, “But it will show in your picture. You can put it on afterwards.” I shook my head. She got the message. Then it was my turn. I must admit that I was nervous. “Say peaches,” the photographer asked trying to conjure up a smile. And to this day I still think that is the dumbest thing I ever heard. What do peaches have to do with having a photograph made? Of course I didn’t say it. I was too busy looking at the equipment and trying to figure out why he said that. He gave up and a big flash went off nearly blinding me. In a few weeks the photos came back. “Oh, these are so good Sherry, but why didn’t you smile”? I knew she was doing the right thing telling me they were good when in fact, my bow was crooked, the lady was right the brown strap hung diagonal across the pretty bodice, there were dark circles under my eyes and as you know, I didn’t smile and I relayed the picture. Mom laughed, but praised me for being a good little girl. And now I know as a mother that she wasn’t lying about it being a good picture. Mothers do that you know. They see beyond the mistakes and see the beauty in it. We still laugh about it especially when we see it in the photo album. Still, to this day, I can’t figure why anyone would think, “Say peaches,” would get a smile out of anyone. To me now, it is ridiculous just like it was to that farm girl in the sixties on her first picture day.

R’ville police equipped with body cameras BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Russellville Chief of Police, Matt Wertz is pleased with the recent purchase of two new body cameras for his department through a $2,500 grant from the Bluegrass Pipeline Community Grant Program. The grant funds are available to projects that directly benefit surrounding communities. “We were notified the end of June that we had received a partial grant,” Chief Wertz said. “We originally applied for $12,500, but we were happy to get the $2,500. We purchased two of the body cams through ProVision in Michigan. We got a good deal on the two cameras, at about $300 each and all the hardware and software came with them. They can be attached to a front pocket or clipped on the front of our shirts.”

Chief Wertz said the cameras are equipped for night vision, HD video, one-touch recording, they are waterproof, include a built-in LCD screen, auto download and recharge and 32 GB of storage. They also include user ID, with date and time stamped. Police departments across the country are using body cams more and more often, according to Wertz. The cameras record every action and every word of an officer while on duty. The American Civil Liberties Union has strongly endorsed the use of body cameras. Many police cars are now equipped with dash cams so the idea of body cams is not a new one. “We have three paid officers and five auxiliary officers in Russellville,” Chief Wertz said. “The two body cams will be used every day. These body cams will make our officers, and myself, ac-

now that they’re up and operating. We also plan on ordering some valuable equipment like evidence collection items, drug test kits, evidence bags for unfamiliar substances and a few other things that will make our jobs a little easier and keep our community safer.”

THE ARK #1

Back in the book of Exodus, chapter 25, God told Moses to build an ark. Now this was not Noah’s ark. This is the ark of the covenant. The word ark means box. Here in Exodus, the ark of the covenant was a piece of furniture that went in the holy of holies in the tabernacle and eventually would be put in the temple. The holy of holies was the holiest place of all in both the tabernacle and the temple. It was the room where the ark was to be placed. It was entered into only once a year by the high priest which would take the blood sacrifice in to offer for a sin atonement for the people. The ark was the only piece of furniture in there. There were no windows and no lights in the holy of holies. It was lit by the glory of God called the Shekinah Glory. Now, verse 10 describes the ark. It says: “And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.” So it is made of wood, which refers to human flesh. Next, according to verse 11, it is overlaid within and without with pure gold. Then they were to make a crown of gold round about it. Gold always speaks of God so when you have wood overlaid with gold you have humanity and God all in one. Now who do you think that represented? It represented God in human flesh, it represented Jesus. Both the tabernacle and the temple were a type of His whole program. The one sacrifice that Jesus made was more than sufficient for any and all sacrifices that were ever made by men in the holy of holies. Hebrews 10:14 states: “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Now, there was never an ark of the covenant or a tabernacle up until this time in the book of Exodus. Before this time people would offer their sacrifice upon a rock. But, after God brought His people up out of Egypt and they crossed the Red Sea, God instructed Moses to build the tabernacle, the main part of which was the ark of the covenant. It was there that sin was dealt with. This tabernacle was portable and as the people

traveled around the wilderness they took it with them. When the Shekinah Glory came and stood in a certain place then that was where the tabernacle would be sat up and they camped around it. After Moses died and they were ready to go over into the promise land, it was the ark of the covenant that the priest carried when the water of the Jordan river parted and all the people crossed over on dry ground; it was similar to when they crossed the Red Sea. The first stationary tabernacle was in Shiloh and Eli was the high priest. It was at this time that there was a woman named Hannah; she had no children and was very upset over it. So she went up to the tabernacle to pray about it. You can read the whole account in I Samuel chapter 1. In about that same time frame the children of Israel got in trouble with the Philistines. They were in a backslidden state and had no influence with God. So they decided to take the ark out of the holy of holies and take it with them into battle. Now, you can not cart God around! You have to let God control your life; you can’t control Him! You could have the ark or anything else and it will not help you if you are not willing to obey God! Well, they lost the battle and the Philistines took the ark (I Samuel chapter 4), which they greatly regretted doing! It caused them major trouble so they returned it (I Samuel chapters 5-6). Now, skipping on ahead, David wanted to bring the ark to Jerusalem but he did not take the time to find out the proper way to transport it. He heard that the last time it was moved it was by way of a new cart so he put it on a new cart (II Samuel 6). Well I guess if you want to find out what happened to the ark and where it is now you will have to read next week’s article.

World, Please Remember Me

I was here for such a short while, I didn’t smoke, drink or do drugs, Because I loved my Mom & Dad’s smile. I didn’t ever want to hurt them, I just wanted to make them proud Of their son they named “Scott Aaron” So I didn’t “Go along with the crowd.” I just couldn’t understand Why so many perfectly healthy people Would deliberately invade their bodies With drugs that were so lethal. As I was about to turn 18, I had so many dreams and plans, I wanted to do something special, To leave my mark upon the lands. Then, all at once, my world was shattered And I had to understand That life is what happens to us While we’re making other plans. I had heard the word “cancer,” Never, never connecting it with me, Then the doctors said those dreaded words, “You have cancer and it’s terminal, you see.” The screams and tears came flowing forth, “You’re wrong, you’re wrong,” Mom cried. We had to believe we had a chance, So we tried and tried and tried. The tears never stop, It’s just that they don’t always show, As time grows more precious and The Doctors tell us things we really don’t want to know. I felt, oh, so helpless, Yet I had to be strong, I must bear the pain and the certainty That my time on earth won’t be long. Some friends came to see me, Some couldn’t handle the pain Of seeing me slowly, but surely Losing the final game. I wish I could have lived longer on earth, It’s such a nice place to be. But, I’ll be waiting for you in Heaven with my arms opened wide.

CREATURE FEATURE

At All Creatures we have developed a wellness program perfect for your pet and your budget. More information on these “wellness plans” can be found on our website and in any of our three hospital facilities. What is a wellness plan? A wellness plan is not pet insurance. Instead, it’s a bundle package containing the services needed to prevent disease and provide the best medicine and protection for your pet. The plan can be funded in full or in part on the day of purchase, or financed so that monthly payments can be deducted from your checking or savings account. What’s so good about your wellness plans? We examined wellness programs offered by many other veterinarians and attended countless lectures at the North American Veterinary Conference to learn all we could about what was already out there.

Judicial candidates trade barbs about yourself. She should be held accountable for this unethical behavior. While I would like to refute Ms. Steddom point by point, I cannot and will not violate the same rules that she did, other to say that I have done nothing wrong and the facts will bear that out.” The Ohio Supreme Court

regulates the conduct of judges and judicial candidates. Rule 4.1(A) 5, which covers political and campaign activities of judges and judicial candidates, states that a judge or judicial candidate shall not “Comment on any substantive matter relating to a specific case pending on the docket of any judge.” The case that Steddom is

referring to is currently pending before Judge Steven Williams in Adams county. Bubp filed an answer to the complaint on August 25, denying that he acted inappropriately or unethically in the handling of the estate. “Until Ms. Steddom apologizes for this smear and acknowledges that she’s violated judicial ethics rule

4.1(A)5, that’s all I have to say on this matter. For me, now it’s back to talking to voters as I go door to door.”, Bubp concluded. The issue regarding Bubp was also referred to the Ohio Supreme Court Disciplinary Council in on May 28, 12 days before the letter from Jackson to Spencer. The disciplinary council dismissed the grievance

against Bubp on Aug. 29, stating that another grievance could be filed “if appropriate” when the Adams County litigation is concluded. Steddom said she was aware that some people would accuse her of “dirty politics” by bringing the case to The Brown County Press. “I am concerned enough

about a client of his alleging that he did this in the probate court that I want the people to know about it and I want the answer, whatever his answer or explanation is, I want that to be public. If people want to call this dirty politics, bringing to light public records, then they can call it dirty politics. I call it making sure that everyone’s informed.”

Beckjord plant closing, NR schools to lose 1.7M BY Kristin Rover The Brown County Press

After more than 60 years of operation, all of the coal units at Duke Energy’s W.C. Beckjord Station in New Richmond have been shut down as of Aug. 21, and local government and school officials are bracing for the loss of tax revenue from the closure. “With the closure of Beckjord, the village of New Richmond will lose tax revenue,” New Richmond Mayor Ramona Carr said. “The general fund will lose 20 percent, the police and fire/EMS departments will lose 40 percent.” Carr said she is working with village council members to determine what measures the village will have to take because of the loss of revenue. New Richmond Exempted Village School District Treasurer Teresa Napier said the most recent estimate is that the school district will lose $1.7 million as a result of the closure. “We think it is going to be in 2015 but all of that is still

being worked out with Duke and the county auditor,” Napier said. Napier said at first the news of the closure was a shock, but she said the district has tried to prepare for the revenue loss by having a hiring freeze and trying to operate more efficiently. “When we first heard we were really shocked,” Napier said. “It has come to fruition.” Sally Thelen, communications manager for Duke Energy, said the last day coal units were in operation was Aug. 20, and the company is waiting for the regional transmission operator to honor the company’s request to keep the units offline. Thelen said because new EPA standards would require expensive upgrades, the company decided to move forward with retiring the coal units. The company announced the decision in July of 2011 and expected to have the units retired by January of 2015. The nearly 60-year-old station, located in New Richmond, had six coal-fired units that produced around

860 megawatts of energy, according to Duke Energy. Company officials said in 2011 that the reason behind the shutdown was Environmental Protection Agency’s Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology rule, which implement emission reduction requirements. Thelen said parts of the plant are still operational and Duke does not plan on immediately selling the plant. “For the foreseeable future the site will remain under Duke Energy ownership and will continue to be used for utility-related purposes,” Thelen said. Thelen said four oil-fired combustion turbines on the site, which are primarily used for generating power during periods of high demand, will continue operations. “Also, certain substation and transmission or distribution electrical equipment will remain onsite and in operation,” Thelen said. More information about the Beckjord Station retirement plan can be found at http://www.dukeenergy.com/beckjord.

OEPA has scheduled a site visit with her on Sept. 12 to review the progress of the project. A hearing on the preliminary injunction to order an official halt to the construction will be held Sept. 30 in front of Federal Judge Michael Barrett. “I’m optimistic that the judge will see things our way”, Purdy said. He added that the BCRWA was now the official owner of the Aberdeen water system. “We closed the deal with Aberdeen yesterday (Sept. 3), paying them $700,000. The construction plans are about 95 percent completed and we are moving forward. We are securing property rights for easements and so forth.” The documents filed in Brown County Common Pleas Court, including the complaint, amended complaint and request for a temporary restraining order have

been filed in federal court. The amended complaint added the Village of Aberdeen as a party and refers to a federal law that Purdy said is relevant to the case. “The federal statute, 7 U.S.C. 1926(b) protects rural water associations from encroachment of its territory by other water systems. Brown County Rural Water claims the Aberdeen Mobile Home Park is its territory”, wrote Purdy in an August press release. Applegate has submitted samples and other paperwork to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for approval, but the Ohio EPA said on Aug. 20 that her submission was missing some required documentation and returned it to her. Ohio EPA Public Information Officer Dana Pierce said that Applegate could resubmit her application for review once the required documentation is provided. The May 7 contract between the village and the BCRWA refers to the village

and “adjacent areas of Huntington township” in numerous places, but only those residents within the village voted on the question of its approval. One of the contingencies of the contract reads “All water users in and out of the village shall become customers and members of the association.” This presumably includes the residents of the mobile home park outside the village that Applegate plans to provide with free water. In the original complaint asking for the restraining order, Purdy wrote “If Defendants are permitted to build a treatment plant, install water lines and serve customers, Plaintiff will be damaged and such action is a violation of its contract with the Village of Aberdeen.” Purdy said that BCRWA is planning to spend $2.5 million to serve the residents of Aberdeen and the surrounding area.

Broncos trot past Indians in opener SAVE Big Bucks!

2015 One -Year Memberships are now Available.

Western Brown football squad cruises to 42-6 win BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press Another rousing season of high school football is officially underway, and the Western Brown Broncos kicked off the new season on an excellent note in their home opener Friday, Aug. 29 with a 42-6 victory over the visiting Hillsboro Indians. The Broncos racked up 477 yards of total offense in a dominating performance with senior Chaz Patten leading receivers with an impressive 137 receiving yards off five catches and one touchdown. Western Brown's junior quarterback Chaiten Tomlin racked up 361 passing yards, completing 20 of 31 attempts with three touchdowns. As for the Bronco defense, the Indian offense rarely made it into Bronco territory and managed only one touchdown. While the Western Brown coaching staff was pleased with the big victory, head coach Evan Dreyer said there are still a number of things his crew needs to improve on before league play begins and they face a tough line of teams gunning to claim the status of this year's Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division

champions; a title the Broncos are out to defend coming off a perfect 2013 regular season. “My biggest concern is that we have to control everything we do,” said Dreyer. “We got to have blue collar kids who are ready to go out and fight for 48 minutes.” “Our focus is to be aggressive and play the game the right way.” After getting off to a bit of a slow start, the Bronco offense would eventually start firing on all cylinders with a new starting quarterback taking the snaps. “I was impressed with our quarterback, but we missed some early targets and receivers who were wide open. I wish we could have scored faster, but that's just me,” said Dreyer. The Indians took first possession, but facing a sturdy Bronco defense failed to make it past their own 30 yard line before being held to fourth down and forced to punt. In their first drive of the game, it was Tomlin carrying for an eight-yard gain to bring the Broncos to their own 42-yard line, followed by an eight-yard pass to sophomore receiver Eli Crall to move the Broncos to midfield for a first down. After three straight incomplete passes, the Bron-

Clermont Northeastern boasted an impressive passing game, but also incurred several penalties in the first half. The CNE Rockets answered the Fayetteville

time, and seemed to run out of fuel after the delay with the CNE Rockets scoring 13 unanswered points in the second half of the game. CNE boasted an impressive defense to hold the Rockets scoreless in the second half. When the final whistle was sounded, it was CNE coming out on top by a score of 19-7. Fayetteville dropped to 0-1 with the loss to CNE. They were scheduled to return to the gridir on Sept. 5, when they travel to BethelTate High School and to face the Tigers for a non league game. The Tigers who are coming off a 20-0 non-league victory over Catholic Central, stood at a 1-0 record.

Western Brown’s Lexi Ring sets up teammate attackers for a kill during the Lady Broncos’ league win over Goshen this season.

Lady G-Men fall to 'Cats BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press The Georgetown Lady GMen led by a score of 2-1 at the end of the first half in the Aug. 28 home bout against the Williamsburg Lady Wildcats, but it was the Wildcats rallying to score five goals in the second half to escape Georgetown with a 6-3 victory. With 18:09 to go in the second half, it was a goal by Williamburg's Hope Schaljo that tied the game at two apiece, kicking off the Wildcat rally. The Lady Wildcats took a 3-2 lead, scoring a goal with 13:49 to go, but a goal by Georgetown's Cheyenne Dunseith would tie the match at three apiece with 12:44 to play. With 9:14 to go in the second half, another Williamsburg goal left the Lady G-Men trailing 4-3.

Western Brown’s eean Hornung takes a reception for a touchdown during the Broncos’ season opener win over Hillsboro, Aug. 29.

an 11-yard touchdown carry by Tomlin to take a 6-0 lead with 7:56 to go in the first quarter. The Indians failed to find success in their second drive of the night, and once again found themselves punting from their own territory to give the Bronco offense an opportunity to expand on their six-point advantage. The Broncos started off their second drive of the night with Osborne taking one carry for five yards and another carry for three yards to move the Western Brown offense from their own twoyard line. A penalty then put the Broncos at third down and seven yards to go. An incomplete pass to Patten left the Broncos about their own five-yard line with fourth down and seven yards to go. Rather than punt, the Broncos once again tried to convert on fourth down, and once again were successful. A completed pass to Osborne up the middle was good for 20 yards and a first down. From their own 25-yard line, it was Tomlin connecting with Patten down the right side for a 75-yard touchdown reception. Western Brown senior Christian Dawson would receive a pass from Tomlin to complete the two-point conversion, and with 4:33 to go in the first quarter it was the Broncos with a 14-0 lead. After holding the Indians scoreless again, the Broncos topped off their next drive with a four-yard touchdown run by Patten with 46 seconds to go in the first frame. Then it was Crall receiving a pass to complete the twopoint conversion, expanding the Broncos' lead to 22-0. After jumping to a 22-0 lead in the first quarter, the Broncos continued to dominate on both sides of the ball in the second frame. After the Bronco defense

kept the Indians from reaching pay dirt to start the second quarter, the Bronco offense got back to business at their own 36-yard line. A completed pass to Crall, who ran for a big gain after the catch, moved the Broncos to Hillsboro 35yard line, a 29-yard gain. The Broncos later cruised to their own nine-yard line off a completed pass to Osborne. They would top off the drive with a nine-yard touchdown run by Tomlin with 9:14 to go in the second. The two-point conversion attempt to Patten was a success, and the Broncos led 30-0. The Bronco defense force a turnover on downs in their next showing, giving the Bronco offense to show off its wide range of skills once again. It was a reception by Crall for a big gain that set the stage for a 23-yard touchdown pass from Tomlin to Dawson to give the Broncos a 36-0 lead with 4:57 to go before halftime break. The Bronco defense played a huge role in the win with players such as junior Michael Otis-Hensley, senior Anthony Howard, senior Chris Turner, senior Josh Young sophomore Noah Hill, and several others coming through with key stops throughout the game. The Bronco defense forced the Indians to fourth down to bring out the Hillsboro punt team again late in the second quarter, and at halftime it was Western Brown leading 36-0. New rules came into play at Western Brown in week one. Since the Bronco lead was beyond 30 points in the second half, a running clock made for a quicker finish. Bronco starters saw time on the gridiron early in the third quarter, just long enough to top off a drive with a touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Eean Hornung to lift Western Brown to a 42-0 lead with 8:02 to go in the third. That would mark the

Broncos' final score of the night. The Indians managed their first and only touchdown of the game with 11:06 to go in the fourth quarter. Other than Patten, who led Bronco receivers in week one, there were four other Bronco receivers to play key roles on offense in the win. Osborne hauled in five passes for a total of 71 receiving yards. He also took five carries for 22 yards and rushed for one touchdown. Dawson caught three passes for 44 receiving yards and one touchdown. Crall was on the receiving end of three passes for a total of 69 yards. Hornung pulled down three catches for 27 yards and one touchdown. Fischer caught one pass that was good for a 13yard gain. Tomlin led Bronco ballcarriers with 41 yards off five carries and two touchdowns. Of the Broncos' 477 total yards, 361 were the result of their powerful air strike while 116 were from their running game. Among the most exciting plays of the night for Bronco fans to witness were the gutsy fourth down conversions that showed off the confidence of the Western Brown offensive team. “I was proud of the guys for converting under pressure,” said Dreyer. “Eli Crall, Nick Osborne, and Chaz Patten all did a great job as receivers. Crall had a great entrance in playing receiver at the varsity level.” Looking ahead to week two, the Broncos prepared for a non-league road game against Little Miami. “We're going to improve our running game and make sure we are ready for week two,” said Dreyer. “I think the defense played very, very well in their first time out. I'm proud of our defense.” HHS 0 0 0 6-6 WBHS 22 14 6 0 - 42

Jesse Lay is joined by race fans on victory lane after winning the Mt. orab Ford Late Model Feature at Moler raceway Park, Aug. 29.

Fan appreciation night a huge success at Moler Raceway With the second fan appreciation night of the season on tap at Moler Raceway Park last weekend, it was a larger field of cars in all five classes showing up to put on a show for the fans in attendance. First up on the evening was the Tarvin Auto Service Chevette Division, and it was defending track champion Rusty Yarger claiming both heat race and feature victories in his Wilson and Son Bodyshop, Northwest Transmission, Weaver's Garage, Dreadlands Haunted Woods sponsored machine. Josh Francis would place second with Kyle Tarvin, Mike Clark, and Jim Hunt completing the top five spots. In the UMP Modifieds, there was a nice field of 22 cars on hand and heat race wins went to Fayetteville's Mike Meyers, Cincinnati's Patrick Alcorn, and Flemingsburg, Kentucky’s Davey Warnock. In the feature race, it was Alcorn jumping to the lead and setting the stage early. The cars to watch were fifth starting Collin Thirlby from Traverse City, Michigan and Batavia's Adam Stricker as they were charging to the front. By lap 11 it was a great three car battle for the lead that Alcorn continued to show the way. By lap 13 Thirlby was slowly inching ahead as he and Alcorn raced side by

side but it wasn't until lap 15 that he officially took the lead at the finish line and proceeded to lead the final five laps and claim his first ever feature win at Moler Raceway Park in his Thirlby Automotive, Turn3Gang sponsored Diamond Chassis racecar. Alcorn would claim his best ever finish by placing second with Stricker, Jimmy Lennex, and Ryan Morton completing the top five spots. With 30 cars on hand in the Mt. Orab Ford Late Model division, everyone had to race their way into the feature event either through heat race action or the B-main. In the preliminary action it was Wheelersburg's Kevin Wagner taking heat race No. 1, while Batavia's Tim Carpenter and Middletown, Ohio's John Whitney, Jr. won heats No. 2 and No. 3. In the B-main event it was Batavia's Chris Shannon taking the 12 lap win. In the feature event it looked as though two time winner Whitney was going to claim another win as he jumped to the lead on lap one and was seemingly on cruise control out front. By lap eight, it was evident that fourth starting Jesse Lay of Walton, Ky. was going to be a serious challenger. Lay worked the middle of the track while Whitney was on the bottom and Lay was slowly catching him as the race stayed green. By lap 14, Lay as able to inch ahead and take the

lead in his Joe Palmer Construction, I75 South Dodge Jeep, WinNelson Plumping Supply, Joe Lay & Sons Plumbing sponsored machine. Lay would take the win while Whitney came home second with Chad Stapleton, Wagner, and Tim Prince completing the top five spots. A huge field of cars was also on hand in the DRC.net Crazy Compact division, as it was the final tuneup for the King of Compact event. Heat races were won by Dennis McIntosh, Clyde Pack, and Stephanie Butler while Devin Puckett claimed his first ever win in the B-main race. In the feature event though it was all McIntosh as the Endurance Motorsports, Jack Nickerson, Gibson Motorsports sponsored driver from Florence Ky would roll to his first ever feature win. Travis Donhoft would come home second with Jerry Gibson III, Jason Borgenmenke, and Michael Skeens completing the top five positions. The final racing of the night belonged to the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Sport Mod division and it was once again the Flemingsburg, Kentucky driver, Mitchell Fields, claiming his third win on the season in his Cropper Race Engine machine. Bert Crawford would come home second with Andy Trout, Chris Shelton, Jr., and Jerry Florence, Jr. completing the top five spots.

and it was obvious that she was deeply affected by the young womans death. Sherry was the first one at the scene after receiving the call. “This is a really nice family,” Neu said. “Although I did not know the family before this, I have learned to love and appreciate what they are going though. My own daughter once played softball with Brittany. But the thing that touches me the most is that the Dodson’s have raised their family just like I raised my family, they are close knit, so I feel their pain and their loss. I was so glad to see such a great turnout for the vigil.” Following a prayer by Mary Dodson, a candle was lit which lifted a ‘wish balloon’ slowly into the air as everyone at the vigil looked on holding a small candle.

The crowd was silent as they watched the breeze slowly carry the wish balloon higher and higher and eventually out of sight. As the balloon drifted away, one man in the crowd began singing ‘Amazing Grace’ in a shaky voice as others joined in. At the end, Mary Dodson looked over the crowd and told everyone to love each other and their families because there is no guarantee each day that you will see them again. Brittany Stykes, who was 17 weeks pregnant at the time of her death, will be remembered in Brown County as the investigation of her murder continues. Brittany’s husband, Shane and their daughter Aubree were not in attendance of the vigil.

considered whether to allow an appeal of the case. Hawkins wrote in July that Kessler made two errors in his ruling. First, “The trial court erred by failing to determine that Coroner’s actions of taking personal effects from a home and giving them to (a) neighbor, probating an unauthenticated will, and posting a decedent’s (Adamson’s) social security number on her personal website constitute misconduct and grounds for removal.” Hawkins pointed out that the coroner was exercising power not granted to her by law. “As Coroner, Defendant/Appellee does not have the power or authority to give a deceased’s firearms and money to a neighbor. Even so, the Coroner’s deputy, acting as an agent of the Coroner thus making the Coroner responsible for her actions, took Roy Johnston’s firearms and money from his home and did exactly that. In doing so, the Coroner effectively committed a burglary...The Coroner testified that she knew Mr. Johnston did not die from a gunshot wound, yet she still took all of the firearms in his house. This is a burglary. The Coroner had no more right to take

his firearms than she had to take his microwave. During her testimony, she never once indicated that this was a mistake.” The second error Hawkins is claiming that Kessler made was “The trial court made a mistake of law by failing to determine that the Coroner’s repeated refusal to deliver firearms to law enforcement constitutes willful misconduct and is grounds for removal.” Eagle pointed out that Kessler found that “Plaintiffs have failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that Coroner Varnau has committed violations sufficient to warrant removal” and that any failures by her “do not sufficiently make out clear and convincing evidence of gross neglect.” Eagle also pointed out a procedural argument, writing that state law requires that a removal complaint against an official must be signed by not less than 15 percent of those who cast a vote in the last gubernatorial election. In this case, that number was 2000 signatures. Hawkins gathered approximately 2300 signatures, but turned them in on attached petitions, rather than attaching the signatures to the complaint itself.

Brittany Stykes death marked at ceremony it, my husband doesn’t understand it, no one understands why my little girl was killed.” She continued, “We have no answers, yet we know there are people out there who do have answers, and they know what happened and I pray that some day we will have answers too, Aubree deserves answers.” Nearly all the members of the Russellville Fire and EMS Departments were in attendance of the candlelight vigil. They were the first on the scene a year ago when Brittany’s body was found. The EVAC helicopter pilot who transported Brittany and her daughter also attended the event arriving by helicopter. Sherry Neu, president of Russellville EMS, placed flowers at Brittany’s marker

son in court, said “We feel that the coroner’s conduct at Zach Adamson’s death scene and at other death scenes in Brown County was so outrageous that it warrants her removal from public office. This is an important issue in our community and we are so grateful to the thousands of Brown County residents who made it possible to file this case in the first place. Know that we will continue this fight. We are not backing down.” Varnau attorney Thomas Eagle said that he had not seen the decision of the court to hear the case and therefore could not make any comment. Manning said a ruling could be expected from the court in five to seven months. Hawkins will have thirty days to make her argument, Eagle will have thirty days to respond and Hawkins will have ten days to reply to Eagle’s response. At that point, oral arguments will be scheduled and the court will rule within sixty days of hearing those oral arguments. Both sides laid out some of their arguments in memorandums to the court as it

The Brown County Genealogy is once again preparing for their annual Fall Festival. They will celebrate their 38th Anniversary and they have a lot to celebrate this year. This has been a busy summer for the Society; they had a very successful Open House this spring, and have been busy in the Library. They have welcomed researchers from many states including Minnesota,

California and Arizona. Members have also been working with the Historical Society on preserving their collection of county newspapers. The papers held at the library include the Gazette, The Castigator, The Times, Ripley Bee and the Democrat. Dating back to the mid 1800’s, members have worked hard to get all of the newspapers in acid free boxes to help preserve them for the future. The

members have also been working on updating their inventory, not only are new books and research materials being added, they are finding interesting items that have been overlooked or forgotten about. One member came across copies of J.F.K., Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald’s death certificates. The Society’s Fall Festival will be held at the Georgetown Methodist

Church, on October 13, 2014. A catered lunch will served by the Country Inn. The guest speakers this year will be Professional Researcher Betty Crum. She will be talking about “Writing Your Family History”. Award Winning Educator Paul LaRue will be speaking in the afternoon, and will be talking about ways to get the younger generation involved in the family history. The Society will

also be inducting Linda Sheehy into the First Families Society. The Fall Festival is open to anyone who would like to attend. The day begins at 9 a.m. with coffee and donuts. Along with lunch and the speakers there will also be cake and door prizes. This is always a fun filled day it’s a great way to meet other researchers to share ideas on researching family history, whether you have been re-

searching for years or just getting started. If you are interested in attending, you will need to make reservations. Members attend free, for non-members there is a $12.00 fee to cover lunch. For reservations or more information please contact the Brown County Genealogy Society by email at br.co.genealogy@gmail.com or call Donna at 937-444-4188. Reservations must be made by October 3rd.
