The documents then assert that Tincher drove Hensley to Carpenters residence on

Stringtown Road in Aberdeen and dropped him off nearby.

“Defendant Hensley walked to the victims home, entered the residence, stayed for a short period of time, shot the victim and the walked back to Defendant Tinchers truck”, the Bill says.

It continues, “Defendant Tincher disposed of Defendant Hensley’s clothes by burning them, but later buried the ashes at the suggestion of Defendant Clemens. Defendant Clemens also tried to arrange an alibi for Defendant Hensley, attempted CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

wasn't allowed to help search and I wasn't allowed to do anything."

Her two sons were swept away by Bullskin Creek in Clermont County the afternoon of Wednesday, June 9 setting off a massive search for the boys that included help from local officials, friends and family, and a large portion of the residents of Felicity.

"The hearts of this little town opened up and everyone was so welcoming," DeVercelly's brother-in-law Chris Jackson said. "They opened up their homes, their fridges, there was a group of people from Kentucky driving around offering water to the searchers.

There has just been so much positiveness."

DeVercelly said she has been overwhelmed by the help she has received from the community, and specifically the coaches, players, and parents of Justin's baseball team, the Vipers. Justin was the starting third baseman.

"I didn't think people cared in that town until that day," DeVercelly said.

"We want to thank the players and coaches, they were out there every single day searching," DeVercelly's mother Pam Riley said.

Both bodies must approve of the idea before it happens and there are timetables in the bill for the funding as well.

Unless the bill is vetoed by Strickland, it will become law on June 21, unless signed before then.

Under the new law, the solid waste authority would have 90 days from that point to make the loan.

The bill requires the port authority to repay the loan no later than 180 days after the loan is made.

Members of the solid waste authority, including all three county commissioners, met with the port authority on Wednesday for preliminary discussions.

Before the meeting began Ben Houser removed himself from the discussion.

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press High winds on June 15 damaged the Municipal Building, police cars and the Community Park in Aberdeen, but a tornado didn't pass through that village.

In a June 16 telephone interview, Aberdeen Police Lt. Keith Reinhardt reported 35 to 55 people had taken shelter in a hallway of the Aberdeen Municipal Building's Bottom Floor this past Tuesday evening after learning high winds were heading toward that village.

Reinhardt said many of them were residents of mobile homes, which are quite unsafe during high winds.

Foster families needed in Brown County as more kids need help

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Every month, forty to fifty Brown County kids of all ages spend their days in foster homes.

Some of them are “in the system” for just a few days, others for years.

The reasons vary. Some parents are neglectful and some abusive. The children end up removed from the home for their own protection and safety.

Sometimes one parent (or both) break the law and get arrested, leaving the child on their own.

Blake DeVercelly

“Remembering School Days” is the theme of the 2010 Founder's Day Celebration, which begins this Friday, June 25, and continues through Sunday, June 27, in downtown Sardinia.

Founder's Day Celebration Committee Chairman Greg Cassidy said the theme of the 34th Annual Founder's Day Celebration was selected to commemorate the closing of

the old Sardinia Elementary School in that village in 2009 and the opening of the new SES last year in Washington Township.

Cassidy said several new events are planned for this year, and Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough commented about this year's festival, “This will be the best one we've had in a long time. There's been a good group working on it this year.”

One new festival feature this year, which will be open for most of the festival, will be a Dunking Booth aimed at raising funds for the Festival Committee. Sardinia police officers will sit in the dunking chair and dare contestants to send them into the water below, and Bumbalough is scheduled to take a Dunking Booth seat on the Sunday of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Details are coming out on how prosecutors say death penalty defendants Dallas Tincher and Joseph Hensley planned and executed the murder of John Carpenter.

A Bill of Particulars filed in both cases by the Brown County Prosecuting Attorneys office says Carpenter was shot once in the head at close range with a 9mm caliber bullet, believed to have been fired from a Hi-Point brand firearm.

The documents continue, saying “Prior to April 20, 2010, Defendant Tincher approached Defendant Hensley, and hired Defendant Hensley to kill the victim for approximately $900.00 and a four-wheeler.

Hensley and Defendant Defendant (Sarah) Clemens discussed the matter.

Defendant Tincher drove Defendant Hensley to a business owned by Robert Short,

The village of Georgetown and Dayton Power and Light Company will cooperate with each other regarding a possible methane gas to electricity project at the Rumpke Landfill near Georgetown.

At their regular meeting May 27, Georgetown Village Council members authorized Village Administrator Kelly Jones to enter into a Memorandum Of Understanding and Exclusivity Agreement with DP&L regarding that matter.

Earlier this year, council members selected Daytonbased DP&L to replace Cincinnati-based Duke Energy in January 2012 as the village's supplier of electricity, which Georgetown in turn sells to utility customers.

Under the MOU, Georgetown and DP&L have agreed to enter into a “mutually beneficial relationship” to share information as the Dayton utility business explores the possibility of partnering with Rumpke Inc. in constructing a landfill gas (methane) to electricity facility at the landfill, which is in Pleasant Township just outside Georgetown.

Georgetown agreed in the MOU to share information and cooperate with DP&L for an

Decatur Day in the park Plans are being made for the 27th Annual Decatur Day in the Park. This event is scheduled for Saturday, July 10.

Everyone is invited to join in the fun. Anyone wishing to set up a booth in the park contact Glenn Adams at (937) 3734603. Space is free and allotted on a first come, first served basis. Arts and crafts, flea market, fruit and/or vegetable booths, etc are welcome, however, prepared food, refreshments, and dessert vendors will not be allowed as Decatur organizations will be providing this service.

“exclusive period” to allow that business to explore the possibility of partnering with Rumpke to develop the methane to electricity facility.

The village has agreed during that period to share information exclusively with DP&L with regard to potential development of that proposed facility and not to discuss, negotiate or enter into any arrangements with any other party relating to that project.

The exclusive period is to be for 90 days from the MOU's effective date unless DP&L provides written notice sooner it no longer wishes to pursue the project. In the MOU, Georgetown represents and warrants it is not under obligation to any other entity with respect to that proposal and is legally unencumbered and able to grant the exclusive period to DP&L. DP&L and Georgetown also agreed there would be no other final, legally-binding obligations existing with regard to the project.

The Georgetown Village Council's next meeting, and the only one scheduled this month, will be at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, June 24, at the Municipal Georgetown Building.

Burial costs going up in Sardinia to aid cemetery upkeep expenses

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Cemetery costs are going to be higher in Sardinia following Sardinia Village Council members' action at their regular meeting on June 14.

The council adopted an ordinance setting new rates and charges for lots and opening and closing services in the Sardinia Cemetery along SardiniaMowrystown Road.

In a June 15 interview, Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough said the increases were necessary to help with the cemetery's upkeep.

Bumbalough said the increased rates may enable the village to hire some workers to undertake some extra cemetery mowings each year or to make some repairs to the cemetery such as those needed for its wrought iron fence.

The mayor said the village wants to keep the cemetery looking presentable.

While the new ordinance will bring in extra funds to help with the cemetery's upkeep, Sardinia voters rejected on Nov. 3, 2009, the latest effort to adopt a cemetery upkeep levy.

Voters turned down that proposed levy 116-101 while approving by a 123-93 vote on that same date a levy to support the village's fire protection services.

The ordinance adopted this past Monday mentioned there presently is no separate levy to provide for the cemetery's operating expense.

The ordinance is scheduled to be in full force and effect from and after the earliest date allowed by law, which likely will be 30 days following its passage since it was not adopted as an emergency measure that would have taken effect immediately.

Bumbalough mentioned this past Tuesday the village also is saving some cemetery costs after council members voted earlier this year to purchase a lift device for about $2,000 to lower caskets into graves.

Prior to that vote, a vault company charged the village for each separate casket lowered into a Sardinia Cemetery grave.

Increases Are Detailed A major difference between the new ordinance's rates and charges and the old ordinance's is the fact differences are made between those buried in the Sardinia Cemetery (decedents) who were residents of the village and those who were not.

The cost of purchasing lots rose from $350 to $400 each for both in-village and out-of-village buyers.

The fees for opening and closing graves in the Sardinia Cemetery rose from $375 to $525 for decedents who lived in Sardinia and $650 for decedents who lived outside the village.

Under the former ordinance, grave openings and closings on holidays and Sundays were $400 each for both village and out-of-village decedents.

An additional $75 was charged for grave openings and closings after 5 p.m., meaning

the opening and closing costs for days that were not holidays or Sundays were $450 and for holidays and Sundays were $475.

Under the new ordinance, grave opening and closing costs on holidays and Sundays are an additional $425 each for both Sardinia decedents and those from out-of-town, meaning the holiday and Sunday opening and closing costs are $950 for Sardinia decedents and $1,075 for decedents who had lived outside the village.

The $75 cost for grave openings and closings after 5 p.m. rose to $125, meaning the after 5 p.m. costs for Sardinia decedents rose from $450 to $650 for days that are not holidays or Sundays and from $475 to $1,075 for holidays and Sundays.

The $75 to $125 cost increase for grave openings and closings after 5 p.m. also means costs for decedents who had lived outside Sardinia rose from $450 to $775 for days that are not holidays or Sundays and from $475 to $1,200 for holidays and Sundays.

The new ordinance also increases the cost for cremation burials from $175 for both Sardinia and out-of-town decedents to $225 for Sardinia decedents and $275 for decedents who had resided outside Sardinia.

It establishes a $125 additional rate for cremation burials after 5 p.m. and a $425 rate for days that are holidays or Sundays, meaning cremation burials after 5 p.m. for Sardinia decedents will cost $350 on

days that are not holidays or Sundays. The cremation burial costs for Sardinia decedents for holidays and Sundays will be $650 with the cost after 5 p.m. on those days being $775.

Cremation burial costs after 5 p.m. for decedents who were not Sardinia residents will be $400 for days that are not holidays or Sundays. The cremation burial costs for out-of-town decedents for holidays and Sundays will be $700 with the cost after 5 p.m. on those days being $825.

Church Members Praised Bumbalough recently issued a statement praising 12 Sardinia Church of Christ members who met to mow and weed eat the Sardinia Cemetery on May 15.

“This was only one of many projects that the church does to help and give back to our community,” the mayor reported.

“The cemetery has never looked better, and it was a pleasant surprise for me to see it given the care and respect that it deserves.”

Bumbalough reported the church volunteers as being Stan Mignerey, Jim Boling, Bill Boling Sr., Bill Boling Jr., Mignerey, Dave Daniel Mignerey, Associate Pastor Robbie Ballmeyer, Regge Fender, Jim Tutt, Jeremy and Tiffany Mignerey, and Harold Dorsey.

The mayor stated the work those volunteers undertook was very much appreciated. “For myself and on behalf of the Village of Sardinia Council, we want to extend our gratitude for the fine work on the cemetery.

Thank you, and God bless.”

Firemen's Festival is slated in Fayetteville

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Annual Fayetteville Firemen's Festival is scheduled 2-11 p.m. this Sunday, June 20.

Fayetteville Fire Department Lt. Kyle Singleton said the day's festivities will kick off about 2 p.m. with the Annual Fayetteville Firemen's Festival Parade, but this year's route has been changed from last year's.

While the parade in some past years proceeded westward along Pike Street (U.S. 50) from the East Street area, the procession will begin this year at the site of the new Fayetteville High SchoolFayetteville Middle School complex on South Apple Street (U.S. 68).

The parade will proceed northward on South Apple Street then turn left (westward) on Lake Street and then right (northward) on Main Street.

Parade participants then are scheduled to turn right and continue eastward on Pike Street and then left (northward) on East Street where the procession will cease.

The popular annual parade likely will include such entries as the Fayetteville-Perry High School marching band, floats, horseback riders, and a large number of fire engines from both Fayetteville and other communities.

Singleton reported this year's grand marshal will be Perry Township resident Pat Hubbard, an honorary member of the Fayetteville Fire Department.

The Fayetteville Firemen's Festival will offer other activities after the parade, according to Singleton, including amusement rides, food and beer booths, children's games and face painting, adult games such as poker and Beat the Dealer, and live music. Those activities will take place on the Fayetteville Fire Station grounds at North Apple and East Pike streets.

Admission to all activities is free with the only costs being purchases those attending make at food or beer booths or to participate in games.

Further information is available by calling Singleton at (937) 515-6935 or the Fayetteville Fire Station at (513) 875-2202.

Sardinia police reports given to council members

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Sardinia police had 23 new cases during the past two months as well as 153 call records.

That information was in separate reports Sardinia Police Sgt. Dan Nichols provided to Sardinia Village Council members at their regular meeting June 14.

Nichols, the officer in charge of the Sardinia Police Department, reported that department's officers opened, investigated, and/or closed 13 new cases between April 1 and 30.

Those cases included three for disorderly conduct, two for theft (gas station driveoffs), and one each for domestic violence, patient abuse, misdemeanor warrant arrest, telephone harassment, disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief.

Sardinia police took 85 call records between April 1 and 30, but that number fell to 68 between May 1 and 31.

Sardinia officers filed six traffic violation (speeding) charges into Sardinia Mayor's Court in April, and in May they filed one minor misdemeanor public intoxication charge and one persistent public intoxication charge (a fourth-degree misdemeanor) into that court.

Sardinia police opened, investigated and/or closed 10

new cases between May 1 and 31, according to Nichols.

They included three theft offenses and one case each of sexual imposition, disorderly conduct, persistent public intoxication, unruly juvenile, public intoxication (minor misdemeanor), violation of a protection order, and falsification.

Nichols also reported police investigated no traffic crashes during those two months and informed council members there were three new auxiliary officers working in May along with a cadet riding along.

Auxiliary officers work for a police department without pay for such purposes as keeping up their law enforcement credentials

Making the most of Fathers Day chances

E V E N

Keeping the kids busy this summer Ahhhh, Summer. I savor those words for a few moments before I realize what that means. It means my kids are home every day, and I will hear the chorus “I’m bored” about a million times.

Thankfully, this year I work.

The last two summers I haven’t, and as much as I love my amazing kids it is hard to keep them entertained.

This year should be a cinch though. First, we have to finish baseball season which keeps almost every evening busy between the two of them. Then Vincent is attending The Summer History Day Camp from June 14-18th at the John P. Parker Historic Site in Ripley which is free to all incoming 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in Brown County school systems, and the very next week he’s attending a science camp at St Michael’s in Ripley which at $40 a class is very reasonable. Then they both start football practice.

JENI WHITAKER, COLUMINIST Also, all summer they participate in the Summer Reading Program at the Mt. Orab branch of the Brown County Public Library. There are many other camps and programs out there that are free or affordable.

I like to make a list of activities so that when I get the whining I can whip it out and start making suggestions.

Some of my favorite free ones for sunny days are: Try to find a four leaf clover, the cloud game (where you say what you think a cloud looks like, each person takes a turn), hopscotch, obstacle course (very easy and you use stuff you already have at home),

library, and the recipes and ingredients are simple. Most children love planning and making a meal even with your help. Also available at home and free is playing outside, riding bikes, or just taking a walk. A rousing game of kickball in the back yard is another surefire hit.

If you’re wanting to get out of the house, the Cincinnati Art Museum or The Krohn Conservatory are very entertaining and free. They’re also next to one another, so you could make a whole day trip out of it. Pack a picnic and go to Eden Park in between visits to really round the day out.

We also like the local parks. We prefer ones with hiking trails like Eastfork. All of these things keep the kids busy and engaged in the world around them. Worst comes to worst a Popsicle on the front porch is always a goto method as well.

I have a job I enjoy and I’m in good health.

I live in a great area in a wonderful country that I am proud to live in and be a part of.

So I’m content with some handwritten cards.

If you’re a dad who wants to change things for the better with your children or your own father, you can use Fathers Day as sort of a relationship “New Years Day” and resolve to improve your relationship.

If you’re a son or daughter who hasn’t talked to your dad in a while, Fathers Day is a great excuse to pick up the phone and reconnect.

If you are a father who has fallen out of contact with your children, take initiative and call them. Reconnect and maybe your phone will ring on Fathers Day 2011.

For some, the whole idea of Fathers Day is a source of bitterness or pain.

If that’s you, try to be positive and enjoy the things you have rather than be angry about the things you don’t.

Finally, if there is someone in your life who is a father to you in every way but biology. let them know how you feel.

It’ll bring joy to both of you.

Happy Fathers Day.

What Do You Think?

“What is the best thing your father ever did for you?”

And then he goes on to tell me how Republicans, conservatives and libertarians were responsible for the American financial meltdown and that the only hope our nation had was someone like Barack Obama in the White House and a Ted Kennedy or a Barney Frank on Capitol Hill.

“Our only hope as a country is allowing the progressives to rule the country,” he loudly declared. (Poor devil, he’s been spoon fed the utopian dream and he thinks Obama is the second coming of Christ.

Oh, what fools these mortals

must be.)

Good Heavens, this proves my point. People have no grasp of anything, especially history. We started with F.D.R. and the “New Deal” in the 1930’s. Government was going to cure our woes by introducing program upon program to get Americans out of poverty and back to work.

It was followed by L.B.J.’s “Great Society” experiment which made us more dependent on government handouts and made everybody think he/she was entitled to this, that and the other. (Sit on your a**, Big Brother will take care of you.)

Jimmy Carter comes along in the 1970’s and signed into law the Community Reinvestment Act, forcing banks to lower their standards so that unqualified people could get a mortgage.

Bill Clinton comes along and pushed that to a greater

practice math facts (sounds boring, but they need to stay brushed up during the summer and if you make it a game they usually don’t grumble too much. Mine earned a penny for every correct answer and we went shopping with that money at the end of summer). For rainy days: Read a book, make a couch fort, or pop some popcorn and watch a favorite movie. For nighttime activities: Making shadow puppets, catching lightning bugs, and gazing at the stars are always free and fun!

If you’re looking for activities at home then one of my favorites is “carwash”. This is best on a really hot day. The kids help you wash your car, and the bonus is you can hose them down and they love it.

You get a chore done, and they have a blast. Another one is letting the kids make a meal. There are tons of kid’s cookbooks available at the

extent, allowing even more unqualified people to get loans they couldn’t afford. Clinton’s Attorney General, Janet Reno, intimidated banks with threats of legal action if they refused unqualified borrowers the loans they sought. Clinton then put Franklin Raines in charge of Fannie Mae, which then bought up a majority of the bad loans made by the banks to unqualified borrowers. By the way, Raines also falsified Fannie Mae financial reports so he could collect $90 million in bonuses over a fiveyear period. (Did you know this? Probably not.)

Sen. Chris Dodd, heading up the Senatorial Financial Committee, stonewalled efforts by George W. Bush and Congressional Republicans to investigate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac regarding financial irregularities. In return he got rewarded with huge campaign contributions from those two entities.

Barney Frank, heading up the House of Representatives Banking Committee, also stonewalled Bush and Congressional Republicans investigating corruption in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

(Gee, I guess this means homosexuals make lousy financial advisers.)

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

Barack Obama, while practicing law, filed lawsuits against banks on behalf of ACORN in order to force them to give loans to unqualified borrowers. And then, as a senator, helped to suppress efforts made by Bush to investigate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Read the records people, oh, sorry, I forgot, some of you don’t know how to read, or you were taught the wrong things by the public school system, or you were raised in a plastic bubble, or your mothers didn’t bond with you by breast feeding, or you were traumatized by some bully who stole your lunch money, or whatever excuses you can come up with for not knowing the facts.

Happy Fathers Day. Those words are being spoken this weekend in person and on the telephone.

Some people are saying it in cemeteries or in quiet whispers to fathers who are no longer there.

Those words are spoken with a variety of sincerity or sarcasm, depending on the relationship developed over the years between fathers and their children.

Fathers Day is one of those holidays where dads tend to reap what they’ve sown over the years, especially if the kids are older.

Some fathers who are waiting for the phone to ring may be having their own fathers sitting by the telephone as they wait for a call.

I have a nine year old and a seven year old at home.

Fathers day to my little ones usually consists of screaming “Happy Fathers Day!” just a tad too early on Sunday morning, followed by a presentation of handwritten cards.

The cards are my favorite part of the day.

It’s always fun to look at them and also back at some of the cards from the past.

My wife always asks me what I want for Fathers Day. I tease her sometimes by answering “silence” or “a sandwich” if I’m out of range.

But the actual answer is that I already have what I want.

I have her and a couple of kids that I love and get along with.

Court papers tell alleged murder story physical evidence in both cases is being tested by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Little also said that the whereabouts of the alleged murder weapon are unknown at this time.

Hensley’s attorneys, Bruce Wallace and Nick Ring, have filed 45 defense motions so far, ranging from requests to have Hensley appear in civilian clothes during his trial to

motions to dismiss the death penalty in the case.

The prosecution has asked for permission to take the jury to the crime scene.

Both sides are also preparing separate questionnaires for potential jurors. The defense version has 122 total questions.

Little said her questionnaire is still being prepared, but it was a necessary part of a death penalty case.

“You have to be able to find

Boys mother talks about love and loss CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 DeVercelly and her family called a press conference Monday afternoon in their first conversation with the press since the tragedy. The conference was held at the Amelia Church of the Nazarene where the boys were looking forward to attending Vacation Bible School this week. The church postponed the program in memory of the boys.

"Our church family really helped us," Jackson said.

Riley said Justin had wanted to be a minister and she was very thankful for the nurturing the Church of the Nazarene provided.

DeVercelly said the boys were best friends and inseparable. Blake was very athletic and loved doing situps. His record for continuous cartwheels was 300. Justin was a baseball star and a model older brother. Both boys were in accelerated programs at Felicity-Franklin Elementary School. Riley said they were very protective of their three-year-old sister Hazel Mae, who is having difficulty coming to terms with their absence.

"We told her they're angels watching over her now, but she still kind of thinks they're out in the woods," DeVercelly said.

Riley said Hazel Mae was comforted by all of the children who surrounded her at church Sunday, but as the family stood in the parking lot before heading home she was looking for

her brothers.

"She kept saying 'I want my bubbies, I want my bubbies,'" Riley said. "The three of them were best friends."

As the DeVercelly family tries to cope with the sudden loss of Justin and Blake to the raging waters of Bullskin Brown County Creek, Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little is planning the next steps in the case.

“Once the report (from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office) is complete, I will review it and present it to the Grand Jury”, Little said on June 14.

That body will decide if babysitter Michelle Walls will face charges.

Little added that it’s standard procedure for a Grand Jury to look into the facts of accidental deaths.

DeVercelly said Walls is a long time friend and the boys had often played in the creek when it was lower.

"They had it in their mind that they were going to get to play in the creek before it started raining that afternoon," DeVercelly said. "I told them to stay away from it."

She said Walls was watching the children while she went downtown in Cincinnati for a meeting.

Investigators said the boys left the home of Walls on Dunbar Road about 4 p.m. on June 9 to examine the rising waters of the creek.

When DeVercelly was on her way home she called Walls and

that is when she went out side to find the boys.

They were no where to be seen.

Walls called 9-1-1 to report them missing and a search was initiated that afternoon.

Over 30 law enforcement and firefighters kept searching until the body of 8 year old Blake was found by the side of the creek about 11 a.m. the next morning.

It was found about a mile and a half downstream of where investigators think he entered the water.

The body of 11 year old Justin was discovered around 9 p.m. Saturday night at the Meldahl Lock and Dam on the Ohio River.

It was recovered about 11 p.m. that night.

The Meldahl Dam is about seven miles downstream from the mouth of Bullskin Creek.

When asked for her thoughts on the circumstances leading up to the boys falling in the creek, DeVercelly said she does not blame her friend.

"They're boys and they knew better," DeVercelly said. "I just have a feeling Blake fell in and Justin went in to try and save him but the water was just too fast. I don't understand why she let them out there. I don't blame her for it, I'm just really upset.

Those boys were my world and I don't have them anymore."

Visitation will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, June 18 at Hay Funeral Home and Cremation Center on

Beechmont Avenue. A joint funeral service will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, June 19 at Amelia Church of the Nazarene on West Ohio Pike. The boys will be buried in Felicity.

DeVercelly said she had been considering moving out of the Felicity community in recent years but stayed because it was what Justin and Blake wanted.

"They always said 'we love this school, we love our friends, we love this community.' I'm not going to make them move now," DeVercelly said.

The family has established the Justin and Blake DeVercelly Memorial Fund to cover the cost of the funeral and other expenses and donations may be made at any Fifth Third Bank, River Hills Bank, or Park National Bank.

The Vipers baseball team has also organized a benefit carnival for the boys. The event will be held Sunday, June 27 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Washington Township Park and will feature food, live entertainment, silent auction, quarter auction, cake walk, bake sale, and inflatable rides for children.

"This is probably the best way people can help right now because of the financial situation surrounding the boys," Chris Jackson said. "Nobody expects something like this to happen to your children."

He said while he wasn't certain a tornado had struck the village, the winds blew out a window in Aberdeen Clerk of Courts Bernice Jones' Office on the Municipal Building's Center Floor and two windows on the top floor.

The resulting falling glass damaged four of APD's five vehicles, Reinhardt reported.

Car Show slated at Sardinia festival

Aberdeen police officers with the cooperation of the Aberdeen Huntington Township Life Squad went door to door checking on village residents, and as of the time of the press release, no injured residents had been located. He added only minimal damage was discovered during those checks.

“Thanks to everyone involved in assisting in the emergency situation,” Gast stated.

In a June 16 telephone interview, meteorologist Andrew Snyder with the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Wilmington reported the Aberdeen storm was not a tornado.

Snyder said Kenneth Haydu, the meteorologist in charge of the Wilmington Office, had traveled to Aberdeen earlier that day to survey the damage and determined straight line winds with an estimated force of 70 miles per hour, rather than a tornado, had struck Aberdeen this past Monday night.

Glass broke the windshield on the police pickup truck and caused scratches, dings and “superficial” paint damage on the truck and three cruisers.

“The park is a real mess,” the APD lieutenant said, mentioning how an area suffered damages from the Community Park to the village's greenspace area by the Old Ohio River Bridge that connects Aberdeen to downtown Maysville, Ky. Some older trees were blown over, and some power lines had fallen in the park. A large tree destroyed some park playground equipment on which it fell, Reinhardt said.

While he described the winds that blew through Aberdeen this past Tuesday as “extremely high,” he said he saw no evidence the storm caused “twisting” damage as a tornado would have done.

In a press release issued June 16, Aberdeen Police Chief Clark Gast reported he ordered all those sheltered in the Municipal Building Bottom Floor hallway to relocate to the gymnasium on that floor after he arrived at the scene.

After contacting the administration of Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington Middle School in Aberdeen, those seeking shelter in the Municipal Building were invited to take shelter at that school. Gast reported that at about 11:15 p.m. that school was cleared of all the people who had sought shelter there, mentioning they had returned safely to their residences.

the potential loan.

He is on the solid waste board and the port authority as well as being a member of the BCGH Board of Trustees.

Houser said he plans to remove himself from the discussions at any of the meetings going forward.

Port authority Executive Director Bruce Lunsford was clear at the beginning of the meeting.

“We cannot put the port authority at risk”, Lunsford said.

“But we do need to see what the need is and if the port authority can help.”

Both parties expressed the need to make sure that none of the entities involved would be negatively impacted by the potential loans.

Commissioners County President Margery Paeltz spoke about the need to keep BCGH viable and serving the community, noting that the hospital has been in the community since

1952.

She also addressed the idea that mismanagement might be behind some of the hospitals current financial problems.

“We believe proper management is there”, Paeltz said.

“The biggest problem is the fact that federal funding and reimbursement has dried up.”

Paeltz said the hospital received 2.6 million dollars in federal funds as recently as 2006.

Last year, she said the hospital received about 67 thousand dollars from Washington.

The solid waste authority is scheduled to meet on June 21 to discuss the matter further.

In the meantime, Lunsford, port authority attorney Rick Goettke and port authority secretary Henry Bryant plan to meet with Brown County Regional Health CARE CEO Michael Patterson and CFO Teresa Daniel to get a better picture of the hospitals current financial situation.

Jury finds in favor of accident victim The Brown County Press/WAYNE BOBLITT

Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler presided over a civil jury trial June 3 and 4.

The civil case was filed as a result of an Oct. 7, 2006 crash involving an automobile and a motorcycle. John Carter was operating a motorcycle when a vehicle driven by Lisa Pecoraro on State Route 774 struck him.

Carter’s attorneys requested the jury award him $45,000 for past and future pain and suffering; past and future inability to perform normal activities; and past and future medical expenses.

Carter reported several injuries including an injury to his right wrist resulting in the need for carpal tunnel surgery.

Pecoraro’s attorneys stipulated to liability only and requested the jury award $12,500 for the plaintiff’s injuries. The issue at trial became whether the accident caused the carpal tunnel.

After one and a half days of trial and deliberation, the jury returned a verdict on June 4 awarding Carter $39,149.37.

Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration Committee members display the 2010 Celebration shirt that will be handed out to participants in that festival's 4-Mile Run/Walk on June 26. The members, posing at the conclusion of their June 15 meeting at Sardinia Town Hall, include, from left, Brandy Sharp, Janie Wills, Treasurer Dianne Mock, Chairman Greg Cassidy, Judi Bumbalough and George Sharp.

Annual Founder's Day Festival begins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Celebration.

Carnival rides are scheduled to return this year, and Cassidy said plans are for them to be operational 11 a.m.-11 p.m. each day of the Celebration.

The chairman said this year's festival will have “something for everybody” and added it will be “a Celebration for kids of all ages”.

In addition to new events, Cassidy reported another change this year is the location of the Main Stage, which will be at the intersection of Main Street (State Route 134) and Broad Street with its back facing Main Street. The Main Stage was further west last year.

Sardinia Village Council members at their regular meeting on June 14 voted to close Broad and College streets and a portion of Graham Street near the Masonic Lodge to traffic from about 5 p.m. this Thursday, June 24, through the Sunday of the Celebration.

Grand Marshals Named In keeping with this year's theme, the 2010 Grand Parade's grand marshals will be Sardinia residents Kenneth “Duke” and Jane Snider, both of whom are former SES teachers.

The Sniders taught a combined 70 years in public schools with three combined years in West Jefferson Public Schools and the other 67 at SES. Mr. Snider said they taught a variety of subjects in the third to eighth grades at SES. A new Celebration event will be the chance for festival goers to cast ballots for their favorite entries in a Race Car contest.

Voting opens for that contest at 3 p.m. next Sunday on College Avenue, and the winners will be announced at 5 p.m. at the Main Stage.

Also new this year will be a Firefighter Skills Competition beginning at 3 p.m. at the old SES. Cassidy said fire departments who participate in that day's Grand Parade will be given the opportunity to compete against one another and showcase their members' firefighting skills.

The 2nd Chance Band, which includes performers from throughout Brown County, will sing a variety of original Contemporary Christian songs beginning about 4 p.m. June 27 on the Main Stage.

The popular “Drag Race” contest is scheduled to return to the Main Stage area at 5 p.m.

Men and boys will race to put on a dress and women's lingerie and jewelry over top of their clothes and see who can cross the finish line first.

Another new festival event and the last scheduled contest of the 2010 Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration will begin

about 5:30 p.m. next Sunday.

The Kid's Watermelon Eating Contest is slated at that time at the Old SES. Kelly Red and the Hammerheads, the final musical group slated to perform at this year's festival, is scheduled to appear on the Main Stage at 6, 7:30 and 9 p.m. June 27. That group, with some members from the Mowrystown area, is one of the house bands at Jeff Steakhouse in Ruby's Cincinnati and also has performed at some of the Southeastern Indiana casinos.

The final Crowd GiveAways are scheduled at 7 and 8:30 p.m. on the festival's concluding date, and the popular Fireworks Show by Rozzi's is scheduled at dark.

A variety of food booths featuring such items as sandwiches, pizza, ice cream, and beverages are always a popular part of each year's Founder's Day Celebration, and many merchant booths offer festival goers the opportunity to purchase such items as jewelry, posters and decorative T-shirts.

“We really have made a concerted effort to have something for everybody,” Cassidy summarized the Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration Committee's work to bring festival goers this year's events.

“There are more activities for the kids, and entertainment for every taste, whether it is country or rock, and a lot of different food vendors,” the Committee

chairman continued. “We just want everyone to come out and enjoy the entire weekend.”

The Committee is scheduled to have its final pre-festival meeting at 5 p.m. this Monday, June 21, at the Sardinia Town Hall, 151 Maple Ave. in Sardinia. Anyone who would wish to volunteer and help with some aspect of this coming weekend's festival is invited to attend.

A Family’s Prayer Please listen to the following story and decide if you could help a local family with their son's medical treatment or assist in fundraisers in any way. Paul is 25 years old and he is in need of a bone marrow transplant but is awaiting Medicaid. The doctors at UC hospital have been helping to keep him stable until he can get into Jewish hospital; however, without Medicaid Paul cannot receive the transplant. With only a few members in his family, they are struggling daily to buy his medications and foods. The family cannot afford to pay for insurance so waiting for Medicaid is the only option.

Paul began having serious health concerns when he quickly dropped to 105 pounds and was experiencing fainting spells in May 2009; this was only the beginning. For months, countless medical tests were conducted as the doctors could not find the diagnosis. Meanwhile, Paul’s organs began to shut down because he could barely eat from the pains in his stomach. Recently, a team of doctors joined together to study his case and discovered the truth.

Paul has developed an auto immune disease that attacked his intestines, heart, and bone marrow. The heart’s electrical system was attacked to the point that in February 2010 he had to get a pacemaker. Paul had to receive blood transfusions to help keep him stable along with medications, supplements, and a special diet. Paul cannot work and does not receive any income during these troubled times besides the $200 in food stamps that the county has provided. Paul’s family has been trying to help as they can but do not have the money for all the care he needs. Please help to support this young man as he waits for Medicaid to get into Jewish hospital where he can receive the proper care he needs. You can make a donation at any U.S. Bank location to the Paul Beckelhymer Foundation. If you have any ideas or available places for fundraisers as well as further questions, please contact his sister, Dalenea via email at dvdverkamp41@gmail.com.

GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY GHOST Look with me in John 14:18.

Jesus said: “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”

In verses 16-17 He said: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” Now drop down to verse 26. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your rememberance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” Jesus was telling them that the Holy Ghost was with them in the future. Going all the way back in the Old Testament of the Bible the Holy Ghost was with the saints. We believe that people everywhere and in every era is saved by faith through God’s grace. No one was ever saved by keeping the Law. The Law was for the good of the people, not for their salvation. God provides salvation as a free gift; He always did and He always will. Salvation is never the result of our works or our efforts. If anyone could ever work their way to heaven we would not need Jesus. However, I can guarantee you that we do need Jesus! In fact, the greatest need in the world today is Jesus, even though they do not know Him, comprehend Him, or even want Him. So who is going to tell them? And who will believe our report? The Old Testament saints believed that God would someday have a way to pay for all sin. They were saved by faith in believing in the coming Messiah. They did not understand everything and neither do we. You do not have to understand everything in order to be saved. A 5-year old can be saved without understanding it all, but he or she can believe and that is all it takes. Now, I was saying that the Holy Ghost was with the saints of old, but was not in the saints. Even the 12 disciples who walked with Jesus, ate with Him, road in the ship with Him, and watched Him perform miracle after miracle, did not in the beginning of their ministry, have the Holy Ghost in them. That is what you are reading in John

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com chapter 14:17: “...but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” Being with someone and being in someone is two completely different things. Even the Old Testament prophets did not have the Holy Ghost in them. The oldest profession in the world is found in the book of Jude verses 14-15: “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of the saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” He was the first preacher in the Bible. His message was on the second coming of Christ and he preached it over 5000 years ago! They did not even know about Jesus 5000 years ago. He was inspired by God and he had the Holy Ghost with him but he did not have the Holy Ghost in him. Neither did Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, or Elijah, although he had the power of Holy Ghost with him.

He was not in them and could not be in them because Christ had not yet went to the cross. So when did the Holy Ghost begin to be in us and not just with us?

It was after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Look in John 20:22: “...Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” If you are not saved you do not have the Holy Ghost in you. And if you’re not saved you will go to hell and you will never have the Comforter in you or with you. But when you receive Jesus as your Saviour you also receive the Holy Ghost, our Comforter. And He will dwell in you.

There, we went to Cody Clifton's farm and took a look at a tobacco greenhouse and how they are stripped and graded. Towards the end of our day we stopped at the Garretts Farm. The Hudson kids were able to climb into the combine and see how everything works inside and out. Some of the Hudson kids even got the chance to drive tractors. To end our day, we stopped at Schweitzer Dairy Farm. We saw dairy cows,

Cotter adds that Fall enrollment numbers are expected to show similar growth, and says that classes are filling quickly.

“We expect to have to add more sections of some classes, so we are gearing up by recruiting additional faculty for the fall semester ,” he said.

Twenty-two new computers are available for public use at The Brown County Public Library!

Funding for a majority of the computers was made possible by a matching grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, totaling $46,800.

The Gates Foundation’s library programs were developed to help ensure that every library in the country offers free access to computers and the Internet. To be eligible for the Opportunity Online Hardware Grant, the Brown County Public Library had to meet economic and equipment guidelines. “Essentially, the greater poverty in your library service area, and the older your computers, the better grant funding you could receive,” said Lynn Harden, BCPL Library Director.

Libraries in Georgetown, Mt. Orab, and Sardinia met the economic guidelines that required more than 10% of the population to be in poverty. All branches – including Fayetteville – met the equipment guidelines that showed that nearly 80% of BCPL computers would soon be obsolete by Gates Foundation standards.

While the Fayetteville-Perry Library did not meet economic guidelines for the Gates Foundation grant, new computers were purchased using proceeds of the levy that was passed in November 2009.

The Gates Grant provides funding in two phases to help give libraries time to raise the required matching amount. The BCPL has already raised the $5,850 required for the first phase, and will launch a campaign to raise the remaining

match later this year. The BCPL has also already met the minimum purchase requirements of the grant, so funds from the second phase of the grant can be used for both new computers and the cost of maintenance and repair of the computers.

Chatfield College in St. Martin and Cincinnati, OH reports a summer term enrollment gain of nearly 60 percent over last year.

This percentage surpasses the steady growth seen at colleges and universities throughout the United States, particularly in two-year schools, over the past two years. On average, community colleges, trade schools, and other two year schools have seen anywhere from a 25 to 30 percent increase in enrollment over the previous year, as the unstable US economy drives students to either prepare for new jobs, or upgrade their skills.

“Like other schools in our area and across the nation, Chatfield has seen an increase in enrollment due to the tough economic times,” said Curt Cotter, Director of Admissions, “but many people are also choosing Chatfield because of the added benefit of a liberal arts education. They aren’t just looking to learn a specific skill that will hopefully get them a job. They want an education that includes values and ethics, and encourages a culture of life-long learning.”

Another benefit, says Cotter, is that Chatfield’s accreditation through the Higher Learning Commission allows for easier transfer opportunities to four-year colleges and universities.

An estimated 140 people attended the 34th Annual Brown County Senior Citizens Day activities held recently at Georgetown Church of Christ.

The special day gave the county's senior citizens the opportunity to fellowship with one another and to learn about services available to them.

Booths were set up in the church gymnasium informing seniors about some available services.

Services and agencies represented included Area Agency on Aging District 7 Inc., the Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown, Ohio Valley Nursing and Manor Rehabilitation Center in Union Township, Fair Housing Program, The Ohio State University Extension Services Family Nutrition Program, Villa Georgetown Nursing Facility and Rehabilitation Center, Genesis Oxygen and Home Medical Equipment, Brown County Home Care, and Brown County Senior Citizens Council in Georgetown.

Those attending had the opportunity to have their blood pressure and blood sugar levels tested for free, and on the lighter side, they could participate in open chair volleyball games in the gymnasium.

A dinner meal was served in the Fellowship Hall around

noon, and those assembled there also listened to inspirational music by Cheryl Dickens of Georgetown and Doug Green of Mt. Orab.

BCSCC Executive Director Sue Lang recognized the Oldest Senior Citizen in attendance that day and also the Longest Married Couple. Katherine Carson of Georgetown, who turned 98 this past Dec. 29, was recognized as the Oldest Senior Citizen, and Marvin and Margaret Case of Georgetown, who celebrated their 73rd Wedding Anniversary this past August, were recognized as the Longest Married Couple.

Winners of a first-time BakeOff Contest, in which all entries had to be made from scratch, also were recognized. Each entry received a ribbon, and first-place winners received a basket containing measuring spoons and cups and hand towels.

Winners included: Jam Cake: Ruth Reedy, Sardinia, first.

Chocolate Cake: Betty Tutt, Sardinia, first; Joann Childers, Georgetown, second.

Fruit Pie: Watson, Minnie Georgetown, first.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Mary Birchfield, Sardinia, first; June Wilson, address not given, second.

Forty to fifty kids. Some of them in diapers, some of them on the cusp of adulthood.

All of them needing help.

That’s where Megan Seip and Courtney Meder come in.

They are in charge of Foster Care and Adoption Services for the Brown County Department of Human Services.

Seip has been working to find temporary and permanent homes for kids in need for about four years. Meder has been doing it for about six months.

They work on two separate tracks with children who need foster care.

Some kids need short term care while their parent or parents work their way through the legal system after abuse or neglect charges.

Or they need help while their parents deal with criminal charges and incarceration.

care in Brown County for the month of April, 21 were there because their parent or parents were facing drug charges.

Sometimes these children are reunited with their parents after the adults receive counseling or attend parenting classes and are deemed ready to have custody of their children again. Other children end up becoming wards of the state after their parents lose, or voluntarily give up, their parental rights for a variety of reasons.

Some of the children are orphans.

Seip and Meder both say their jobs can be at times both frustrating and rewarding.

The frustration comes from not being able to find places for all the children that need help.

Meder and Seip rely on about 12 families in Brown County for both emergency and long term placement.

When all of those homes are full and a child needs a place to stay, many times they have to go to group homes in Adams or Clermont county.

Sometimes they have to go as far as Hamilton County to be placed.

This causes further disruption to the lives of the children who are going to school because it forces them to leave the one part of their lives that might be stable while they are dealing with a chaotic home.

“We need five good families that can to take any age and are willing to step up to the plate and take on a potential challenge”, Meder said.

Yes, foster parenting can be a challenge at times. Children who have not had a stable home life sometimes need an adjustment period when suddenly presented with rules and being held accountable for their behavior.

Seip said that process is necessary and can actually be easier than many new foster parents think.

“Families spell out the rules

and rewards and you usually see a quick turnaround in behavior,” Seip said.

“We have good kids that are thriving that just need a little help”, Meder added.

When asked about the difficulties of finding foster families, both women said that the entertainment media sometime plays a role.

“Hollywood has not been kind to orphans and foster children”, Meder said.

Seip said some of those negative portrayals and stories that people have heard can make potential foster parents reluctant to make a commitment.

“There is such a stereotype about foster kids”, Meder said.

“Just because a two year old tugs on a dogs tail, that doesn’t mean that they will grow up to abuse animals.”

Meder and Seip both have a goal for kids in long term care.

It’s called “foster to adopt”.

“We’re looking for families who will make that final commitment, especially for the teens”, Seip said.

“They need that commitment so that can move into adulthood with a solid foundation.”

Meder said the adoption process can be a difficult one for older children.

“Everybody wants babies”, said said.

“That makes it kind of hard

for the older kids to take because they feel like they’re unwanted just because they’re older.”

Foster parents are paid 12.50 per day per child that they are caring for and potential foster parents must undergo a suitability inspection and background check.

Meder and Seip both said that the certification process is fairly quick and painless.

Seip said that some families who might make great foster parents take themselves out of the running before knowing all the facts.

“Some people think they can’t be foster parents because of age, health or income issues”, Seip said.

“We can usually work around some of those issues.

You won’t know until you apply and we can see if things will work out.”

Meder and Seip will be hosting an open house for potential foster parents at the Department of Job and Family Services office in Georgetown on June 29, from five to seven p.m.

The office is located at 775 Mt Orab Pike in Georgetown in the same area as the county administration building and the Sheriff’s office.

The telephone number for Seip and Meder is (937) 3786104.

The auction is open to the public, and all are invited to attend.

Veteran gardener shares garden tips John Chambers served in the Navy in WW II and has been a resident at the Veterans Home for five years now. John started gardening with his grandparents as a small child. He remembers his Uncle George growing turnips and using leaves for the compost pile.

John also has fond memories of gardening with his mother.

Okra was always his favorite vegetable to plant, but since his garden is smaller now, cabbage has become is favorite! When we first visited the gardens in mid-April, John’s cabbage patch was impressive. I asked John if he was willing to share any of his garden tips. They include: keep weeds out of your garden, introduce fishing worms to your soil, and add Miracle Grow Potting Soil.

When asked what benefits he gains from gardening, John just smiled and replied, “It brings me great pleasure! And bragging points!”

John donates his cabbage to the cafeteria at the Veterans Home so that all the residents can enjoy the taste of “home grown” cabbage!

Community members are encouraged to donate a craft, homemade item or other item to be sold at the auction to raise additional funds for Kamp Dovetail. Campers will be donating items as well.

Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State University, Cincinnati Reds and Caddy Shack fans will be delighted with the sports memorabilia items available for sale.

Eastern’s Brett Carrington prepares to hit a pitch during Post 129’s wooden bat tournament at Troy. Carrington got one win on the mound and collected four hits at the plate.

Hillsboro Post 129 traveled to Troy last weekend and went 2-3 in the annual Troy Wooden Bat Tournament.

Post 129 played well on Friday, winning two games.

In game one, Eastern's Brett Carrington got a complete game win, 5-3, over Beverly Post 732.

Carrington pitched an excellent game, allowing three runs, all earned, on four hits.

Carrington walked two and struck out four.

Airic Steagall (Hillsboro) led Post 129 at the plate with three hits. Tucker Hughes (Miami Trace) and Corey Walker (Hillsboro) added two hits each. Brandon Arehart (Wilmington), Ian Adams (Fairfield), Jacob Dillon (McClain) and Sam Louden (North Adams) chipped in one hit each. Nate Gillam (Western) scored the go ahead run in the seventh after getting hit by a pitch leading off the inning.

In the nightcap on Friday, Post 129 beat host Troy, 7-6.

Kruger Daniel (Wilmington) got the win on the mound. He worked five innings, allowing three runs, all earned, on just three hits.

Kruger walked seven and struck out five.

Dillon got the save in two innings of relief. He allowed three runs, all earned, on two hits. Dillon walked four and fanned one.

Arehart led the offense with two hits. Cody Shaver (Wilmington), Steagall, Walker, Nathaniel Miller (Fairfield) and Troy Cosler (Washington Court House) added one hit each.

It had been a few years since Post 129 had won over Troy. Starting 2-0 for the tour-

nament and downing two quality opponents was a great first day for Hillsboro. changed on Things Saturday.

Post 129 fell in the first game to the Columbus Braves by a score of 3-0.

Hughes threw a good game on the mound, but was the victim of some bad luck.

For the first time all season, Hillsboro's defense faltered.

Post 129 also had several baserunning mistakes.

Hughes was saddled with the loss in six innings of work.

He allowed three runs, all unearned, on six hits. Hughes walked one and struck out one.

Brett Carrington led Hillsboro at the dish with two hits. Shaver, Steagall, Zach Uhl (McClain), Walker Adams, Gillam and Matt Kibler (East Clinton) added one hit each.

In the second game on Saturday, Hillsboro looked its worst of the young season.

Post 129 pitchers walked 11 and hit five batters in a 17-2 loss to Grove City.

Louden took the loss on the mound in 1 and 2/3 innings of work. Dusty Watson (East Clinton), Cosler and Uhl also pitched one inning each in the loss.

Arehart, Shaver, Miller and Brandon Carrington (Eastern) had one hit each for Hillsboro.

The first loss on Saturday carried over into the second

game. Nothing seemed to go right against Grove City. It seemed like the kids were reeling a little after a tough loss to the Braves.

On Sunday, Post 129 tried to rebound against Kalamazoo, but a comeback bid fell just short as Hillsboro dropped its final game of the tournament by a score of 8-6.

Shaver suffered the loss on the mound. He worked 3 and 1/3 innings, allowing five runs, all earned, on five hits.

Shaver walked five and hit one batter.

Uhl tossed 1 and 2/3 innings in relief. He allowed three runs, all earned, on four hits. Uhl walked two and hit two batters.

Logan Wise (McClain) pitched two innings in relief.

He allowed no runs and one hit. Wise walked two and struck out two.

Steagall, Brett Carrington, Adams and Kibler led the offense with two hits each.

Arehart, Walker and Louden added one hit each.

The tournament was a good experience for the team. The players got a taste of what American Legion pitching was like. They also got to see what they needed to do to be successful. Baseball is a funny game. Some days you look like world beaters and other days you may get beat by the world.

Hillsboro's record stands at 2-5 on the season.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press Western Brown football coach Evan Dreyer and his staff held their annual Camp of Champions last week at LaRosa’s Field.

“We wanted to hold it earlier this year,” said Dreyer. “We had some guys from UC in this week. They were down to earth and helped out a lot. We have a talented group of kids coming up.”

The camp saw 51 kids, ages 4-14, work on the fundamental skills essential to becoming better football players.

“If we can win some games this year, then our camp will grow,” added Dreyer.

“Overall, it was a good week of football.”

Dreyer was assisted in the activities this week by current Broncos, former players, the Western coaching staff and current and former UC players.

U.S. Race Gear Street Stocks headline the evening at MRP The U.S. Race Gear Street Stock cars were the featured division at MRP and they put on a great show.

In heat race action, it was Jamey Adams and Perry Dearing claiming victories and setting the lineup for the 20-lap feature event. At the green flag it was Adams out front with Dearing running second. Following a couple of cautions on lap 1, it was Jeremie Bretz on the move and into second position.

Throughout the event, Bretz got underneath Adams, but he was unable to take the top spot away. At the checkers, it was Adams claiming his secondstraight feature event in his Thomas Gas, Precision

Helterbrand Grinding, Trucking sponsored machine.

Bretz came home in a very close second position followed by Dearing, Tom Hall and Jeremy Scott.

In the Sunesis Construction Late Model division it was Larry Pickelheimer, Jr. and Chad Stapleton winning the heats. But the feature event was another story. At the drop of the green flag it was Pickelheimer out front for the first two laps, but Barry Doss took over on lap 3 with Rick Combs in tow. Following a couple of cautions, it looked as if Combs was going to be unable to wrestle the top spot away from Doss, but with three laps to go, Combs was

able to take advantage of another restart and rocket out front of Doss. Combs claimed his second feature win in the A Hines Racing Engine sponsored machine, while Doss came home second, followed

by Stapleton, Kevin Wagner and Tom Sheets. The race was red flagged on lap 14 following a hard crash by Pickelheimer off turn number two. He was able to walk away from the incident.

In the Mt. Orab Ford Modified division, another strong field of cars was on hand with Doug Adkins, youngster Brandon Ramsey and Devin Gilpin winning heat races and setting the lineup for the feature event.

At the green flag it was Adkins out front with Gilpin in pursuit. Gilpin took the top spot on lap 4 and never looked back in his Impressive Chassis, Gilstrap Motors, Dasco Race Supply sponsored car. Adkins came home second, followed by Shaun Scott, Dave Jamison and Randy Wash.

The Holman Motors Chevette Division rounded out the regular racing action with a fine field of 26 cars on hand.

Heat race wins went to Jeff Watson, Miles Tarvin and Rusty Yarger, while Daryl Wies claimed the B-Main event.

In the feature it was Yarger and Tarvin bringing the field to the green flag with Yarger leading the first two laps.

Tarvin took over on lap 3, but the race was stopped on lap 5 as Sean Jones took a nasty series of rolls down the front stretch before coming to rest on his side in turn number one.

Jones was okay, but the car was heavily damaged. Once back to racing, it was Tarvin in the lead with Watson in pursuit. Watson was able to stay close and took advantage of lap traffic to take the top position with three laps remaining.

He went on to win yet another feature event in his Verdon Auto Service, Harmony Salon, Triple C Powersports Rod to Wrenches Equipment Repair sponsored machine. Tarvin came home second, followed

by Kevin Riggs, Weis and John Mallott Jr. The evening’s activities were

rounded out by a series of mechanic’s races in each class of cars. Taking wins were Mark Kaetzel, Sr. in the Late Model and Street Stock categories with Smokin’ Joe winning the Fleshman Modified division. Ethan Sims claimed the eight-car Chevette mechanics race.

Hillsboro Post 129 returned home on Tuesday and avenged its weekend loss to the Columbus Braves by downing the visitors, 5-4.

Brett Carrington (Eastern) tossed his second complete game of the season, picking up the win on the mound.

After allowing the Braves to score one run in the top of the first, Post 129 answered with two runs in the bottom of the first, compliments of Zach Uhl’s (McClain) two-run homer.

Hillsboro added two more runs in the fourth and one in the fifth, taking a 5-1 lead.

Columbus plated one run in the sixth and benefitted from two Post 129 errors in the seventh, scoring two more runs.

But Hillsboro held on for the 5-4 victory.

Carrington got the win on the mound in seven innings of work. He allowed four runs, two earned, on five hits.

Carrington walked none and struck out five.

Carrington pitched another good game. He got several ground balls and retired some pretty good hitters. It was nice to be able to give them a little payback for Saturday. The Braves are a good team.

Uhl, Brandon Arehart (Wilmington) and Cody Shaver (Wilmington) had one hit each.

In the second game of the doubleheader, Hillsboro was leading 3-1 when the game was called because of lightning and the threat of severe weather.

County history and the addition of the sign will help bring attention to this site,” remarked Pedigo. In addition to the sign, Pedigo also put together a brochure about the cemetery outlining historical figures buried at the site along with general information. The brochure will be distributed to area stores to help raise awareness about the importance of this historic site.

The cemetery, noted for the resting place for several Revolutionary War veterans and early Brown County historic figures was cleaned of debris by the Russellville Boy

Scout Troop this past fall.

Pedigo, a resident of Ripley, chose the Old Ripley Cemetery project for his Eagle Scout badge because of its historical significance and the beauty of the cemetery area.

“I think if more people knew about the cemetery there would be a better understanding of the history of the area,” he noted.

Pedigo is a member of Russellville Boy Scout Troop, 248, one of the oldest troops in Brown County. Doug Green is the troop leader and has been associated with the Boy Scouts since 1971.

We lost a friend last May Brown County Writers Group I don’t think he ever forgot a name, he always had something to say to everyone, and he always took time to listen to you. During the 50 years I’ve lived in Brown Co. he has been many things. First my 4-H agent in the early 60’s, Fairboard President during my children’s time showing at the Fair, and finally a mentor or someone I looked up to as a Fairboard director. When you get your Fair Book this year, save it, the book is dedicated to Al Rhonemus. He was the who’s who of Brown Co. Al passed away May 7, 2010 in his beloved Fizzleville and we’ll miss him.

School is out so watch out for kids in Junior Fair activities.

I’ve already attend one horse show and my granddaughter’s first dog show. She is the third generation of our family to be involved in 4-H here in Brown County. Last year at the Brown Co. Fair more than 1000 young people participated the week of the Fair. We have a rich heritage here and want our children to carry-on in our place.

So when you are at the fair this year make a point in going to the barns and show ring to watch our young people show their projects they worked all year on.

In 1901 the large grandstand was built and burned down in 1979. In 1902 in Clark Co. Ohio, A.B. Graham started a group of boys and girls. This group had its 100 year celebration in Ohio in 2002.

The Brown County Writers Group is ten years old. There will be a celebration from 6-8 p.m. on June 24 at the Mt Orab branch of the Brown County Public Library (the 'birthplace' of the group in June 2000.)

Former members are invited to celebrate with us.

Beginning that first year, they co-sponsored, with the library, guest speakers, writing contests, and have acted as outside judges for another writing competition.

Even after becoming an not-for-profit independent organization in their second year, they continue working closely with the Brown County Public Library. During their third year, the Brown County Writers Group created a newsletter, The Twig, which was available locally. They hosted two free seminars during the month of October, bringing in writing professionals to speak to the group and guests. Their fourth year saw the launching of the seasonal publication, "Through The Window", and a venture into romance publishing with the "Uplifting Romance" concept.

Both series have been suspended but not canceled. The fourth year also saw the group venture into the public service field when they presented "Uplifting Yourself", a woman's health program. This program was sponsored by funding for Women's Health Month from the Ohio Dept. of Health, Bureau of Health

Promotion and Risk Reduction, Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Prevention Program (SADVPP) administered by UC Health and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program.

For a time, the group did poetry readings at local coffee shops on the first Thursday of every month. Thanks to Sharon Miller’s Cuppa Coffee Café and Cookies Creamery for hosting these events.

Many of the original members still belong, but others have come and gone. Two members have passed on, Mary Pitzer and Needra Fischer.

They are missed, and remain a presence with the group.

The group meets every Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mt. Orab Library, Guests are always welcome, and new members sought.

There are no dues and no minimum requirements -- just a love of writing. The Brown County Writers Group takes its name from the place it meets. It is not for Brown County residents only, but also has members from Clermont, Adams, and Highland counties -- and all others are welcome. The only requirement is a desire for fellowship with other writers and a willingness to give and receive constructive critiques critiques, workshops and public readings are offered on different Thursdays, depending on the productivity of the writers and members able to attend meetings

Week" sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country.

Their slogan, "When All Else Failds, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year's event.

"We hope that people will come and see for themselves, this is not your grandfather's radio anymore," said Allen Pitts, W1AGP, of the ARRL. "The communications that ham radio people can quickly create have saved many lives when other systems failed or were overloaded. And besides that – it’s fun!”

In the Brown County area, the USS JURASSIC (Star Trek and Amateur Radio Club) will be demonstrating Amateur Radio on the water at Lake Waynoka (502 Waynoka Drive, Sardinia, OH 45171) on June 26-27. They invite the public to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes.

There are over 650,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services program, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies, all for free.

To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.emergencyradio.org. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. They can even help you get on the air!

Our county’s “hams” will join with thousands of Amateur Radio operators who will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events worldwide. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham Radio” - was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property.

When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 26 - 27, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and satellite capabilities, voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the USA will be using their abilities to contact other hams.

This annual event, called "Field Day" is the climax of the week long "Amateur Radio

William Harness, Fayetteville, was the winner of a Skil cordless drill & jigsaw combo kit in Kibler Lumber’s recent “Salute to our Veterans”.

Snapshots of veterans during their service days were displayed on the “Kibler Photo Wall of Appreciation” at Kibler Lumber locations.

One name was drawn from those submitting photos to be the winner of the combo kit.

Mr. Harness served in the Navy in 1951-54. Sporting his Navy Korean War Veteran hat, Harness said jokingly, “I’m not as pretty as I used to be.”

“We appreciate all that our veterans and current service men and women do for us,” said David Stike, Kibler assistant store manager.

“Displaying their photos is just a small way we can honor them within our communities,” continued Stike, who served in the Navy also.

Photos will remain on display until mid-June at the Kibler locations in Mt Orab, Hillsboro and Maysville.

Creature Feature Amelia veterinarian cares for pets in Chile

CMYK

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN From May 1 thru May 9, I had the opportunity to spend time with the Chilean Vet group called SACH (Soccoro Animale Chile). The Sach group was started a few months before my deployment to help people without any money care for their pets.

The Sach group is firmly committed to helping the pets and especially stray dogs that have suffered from the recent earthquake tragedy.

The SACH VETS are eager to learn and enthusiastic about helping victims of tragedy, poverty, and ignorance – committed to helping both two and four legged victims. Their crusade relies totally on donations of medical supplies, money, and time from 20 dedicated veterinarians in Santiago and Concepcion Chile.

I traveled with a group of experienced rescue workers from representing(www.kinshipcircle.org), an international animal rescue group, from all over the USA and Canada, dedicated to helping animal victims of disasters.

Our mission was to assist the Chilean SACH group in their preventative parasite program and free veterinary medical clinics in several local towns and tent communities. We were deployed to work with the SACH vets and help wherever possible with their activities along the southern Chile coast.

Two Kinship groups preceded us and we were the first group to have two USA licensed veterinarians in our deployment group, DR. Madi Graham and myself, Dr Dan Meakin. I worked side by side with about 10 Chilean vets. All are very nice people, and they only marry and date other vets, I guess that’s an international concept?

Along the Pacific coast north and south of the city of Concepcion, the recent tsunami and 8.8 earthquakes had devastated the communities near the epicenter along the south Pacific Coast of Chile.

The small town residents had no money for any vet care before the tragedy and

even less after the tragedy.

Since food was scarce for the people living in these communities, pets were in danger of being relinquished, malnourished, or starved to death due to the fact that residents could not afford dog food to feed them.

During the immediate time of the February tragedy, many dogs had been abandoned when the residents deserted their destroyed homes when moving into temporarily housing or transferring to another city to live with a friend or relative.

Government assistance was surprisingly available, but at a minimal subsistence level for the Chilean people.

Despite being rather progressive in Chile in some ways, no apparent animal control programs or government animal shelters exist.

There are no leash laws and no licensing of animals.

Even though TVT (transmissible Venereal Tumor), runs rampant and the last thing Chile needs is more puppies or kittens, very, very few people spay or neuter their dogs and cats. I had never seen firsthand the terrible consequences of TVT (transmissible venereal tumors) in dogs.

Unfortunately, no treatment was available locally or from us due to our scarce resources.

We spayed 20 dogs at our spay clinic on one day. They practiced an alternative technique for the ovariohysterectomy (spay), approaching from the side.

I will be practicing the technique for strays, but I don't plan to offer it as an alternative at All Creatures at this time.

In Chile we observed first hand canine territory wars on every corner, strays frequently running down the highways, and feral dogs feeding in trash piles and begging outside every restaurant or food vendor.

It’s a way of life for animals in Chile to run loose and no one thinks spay or neuter is an important option for their dogs and cats. As a result of this, the country of Chile has an overabundance of domesticated dogs and cats living freely in the streets and towns. In Chile,

the dogs live almost 100 percent outside. But surprisingly, this is not to say that every wandering dog has no owner.

Surprisingly, most of them have real owners that do actually love them.

However, the owners don’t care what hours their pets keep, who they hang out with, or what they can bring home to infect the family.

The economic stress of the country and the endemic culture has people both conditioned and unable to utilize established veterinary practices and clinics.

The Cliché, “I can’t afford to take him to a vet” is the same vernacular that we sometimes hear in the states, but in Chile it is compounded by a factor of 100.

My observations of the experience level and commitment of the veterinary “volunteers” in the SACH group was overall very impressive.

It was truly apparent from living and speaking with the veterinarians of this organization, that this is a unique group of professionals with a strong commitment to help forgotten animals in this country and attempt to make dents in the stray animal population by establishing a free Spay/ Neuter clinic. In general, graduated Veterinarians in Chile are mostly out of work and under paid.

My “accommodations” were sharing a small apartment with as many as 8 Chilean vets, 5 other Kinship Circle Volunteers, 2-3 dogs, and 3 cats. We slept on the floor on air mattresses covering every inch of the small three room apartment. Since we were not in the apartment much at all, it didn’t matter that we only had one bathroom and one sink. While talking one night, we experienced one earthquake, a 6.5 level one termor. Fortunately nothing was damaged in our area.

Besides working in the field, I visited two vet schools when in Chile. I was able to assist in a few surgeries and speak to the hospital clinicians about my cases and practices in the states. They invited me back to speak to senior students on another day, but I

felt it was more important to be in the field helping to triage animals that day.

Everyone I met was very interested in learning and sharing knowledge. The schools are nice but not busy, like All Creatures. I found it difficult to move at the typical slower South American All greetings are pace. with a kiss between males and females and females and females, and all men greet with handshake or a hug.

Overall Chile is a very affectionate country, but with strong Christian heritage and family oriented culture.

Nothing was opened except gas stations on Sundays, and midday had a two-hour siesta. Meals are spread out more and most dinners were about 10-11 p.m., which suited my lifestyle perfectly.

On offsite clinic days we treated 150-250 animals belonging to tsunami victims in very poor areas. One highlight was when I sutured a colo-rectal prolapse in the field with 20 Chileans watching me and laughing in Spanish. At the clinics we had no electric, no gas anesthetic, no latex gloves, only minimal resources, but we also had no records, no billing and no unhappy clients to worry about.

Overall the people of Chile were very proud and very appreciative of our efforts.

After completing the anal prolapse surgery on a small dog in the field, the owner kept returning to me to shake my hand and thank me over and over.

On another occasion a large aggressive German shepherd had his tail crushed from a rock and it would not stop bleeding. With my team, we sedated him and on the floor of the fire department, removed the damaged tip of his tail and sutured it closed. The owner gave me a bottle of wine to show his appreciation.

On some aspects, Chile is very much like the USA. Most people have cell phones and internet.

Surprisingly, costs are equal and higher than the USA on common things, like fast food.

In the town of Concepcion, the main mall was packed with teenagers

and young adults – all texting and in nice clothing. Food and especially fast food, KFC, Pizza Hut, is available and not any cheaper than anywhere else in the USA, maybe higher. Veterinary Clinics seem to abound in the larger cities, (Conception, Santiago).

On another hand, there seems to be poverty on every level and people that struggle to feed themselves and a government that cant afford to provide resources to the victims of its frequent natural disasters.

With 31 veterinary schools in Chile, there seems to be an over abundance of veterinarians in the country. Many veterinarians are unemployed and working in other areas of work or business, in order to afford to feed their families.

Paying clinics have few clients and a very slow schedule. Veterinarians with clinics do everything in their hospitals, including selling dog food, grooming and bathing dogs, cleaning kennels, and they answer all phone calls.

For this reason, graduated

vets like the ones I worked with are not that intent on trying to open their own clinics or get a job as an associate at a hospital.

Wages for veterinarians are less than most kennel workers at All Creatures, which hardly seems fair considering their level of commitment and training.

The SACH organization although evolving was overall organized but lacking the funding and supplies needed to maintain its effectiveness.

The group needed a nonprofit plan, and is missing some limbs that it's organizational tree needs if they are to grow and continue providing animal care.

My plan to help the Sach organization is to offer some recommendations and division of duty to perhaps help accelerate their achievement of their goals and increase the level of their effectiveness in Chile.

June is Internal Parasite Month at All Creatures Can my dog give my children worms?

Pet owners should worry about getting worms from their pets!

In particular, children can become infected by ingesting parasite eggs from soil, hands or objects contaminated by dog or cat feces. Roundworms and tapeworms can be spread in this manner. Hookworm larvae can be spread by direct contact with skin from soil contaminated by dog or cat feces. To prevent human infection with pet associated worms, pet owners should start deworming puppies and kittens as early as 2-3 weeks of age and repeating every two weeks. Heartworm preventives administered monthly will prevent most intestinal parasites in dogs and cats. Yes, it is possible to get worms from your dog or cat, but preventable by simple measures.

Over the past several years I have seen several vine crops in our backyard gardens have plants with all of the symptoms that are classic for powdery mildew. Powdery mildew can be a serious problem on foliage and stems of cucumbers, melons, squash, pumpkins, and ornamental gourds. The disease is widespread in Ohio. Think back to the past few years if you grow any of these crops, have you lost plants to powdery mildew that you discounted as a weather issue, or something else?

DAVID DUGAN most vine crops in Ohio. These patches grow together and eventually cover stems and foliage with white, powdery masses of spores.

In severe infections, leaves will yellow and die. Petioles, stems and, rarely, fruit will also become infected. Early death of leaves can decrease the total amount of fruits formed as well as reduce fruit size.

Loss of foliage hastens maturity of fruit and increases sunburning.

Stems infected with Powdery Mildew become brown. This can spoil the appearance of the "handles" on pumpkins which lowers value of the fruit.

Powdery mildew fungi thrive under conditions of high relative humidity, warm temperatures, low light, high fertility, and succulent plant growth. Unlike bacteria and many fungi, free moisture on leaf surfaces actually inhibits infection by these pathogens, although very high relative humidity is required for spore germination. Powdery mildew fungi grow only on living host plants. They survive the winter as dormant mycelium on perennial plants or as spores in thickwalled fruiting structures. Powdery Mildew spores can be blown into Ohio in the spring from warmer southern areas. Mature foliage is most readily infected; very young leaves are nearly immune.

Control 1. Plant resistant cultivars of cucumbers and muskmelons.

Pumpkin varieties vary greatly in susceptibility to this disease.

2. Use cultural practices that avoid excessive succulence, overcrowding, shading, overwatering, or excess fertilization especially with nitrogen.

3. Avoid making new planting of vine crops in the vicinity of older plantings, especially if mildew is already present.

4. Beginning in late July or early August when Powdery Mildew first appears, regular applications of fungicides may be required.

When disease appears, begin a fungicide program including two or more of the following products: Quintec, Procure 480SC, Rally 40W (formerly Nova 40W), Microthiol Disperss (Sulfur) and more. These listed were the most effective. The recommendation is to alternate and/or tank mix products as suggested on the label to help prevent fungicide resistance.

Finding these products in small amounts may be a challenge for home gardens.

These products are listed in the 2010 Ohio Vegetable Production Guide. You can access the Ohio Vegetable Production Guide online at http://ohioline.osu.edu or stop by the local OSU Extension office for a hard copy. The price for the book, which covers varieties, fertility, weed control, disease control and insect control for nearly every vegetable in your garden, is around $20.

The Ohio Vegetable Production Guide and a factsheet from OSU titled Powdery Mildew of Vine Crops were sources for this information.
