Record snowfall for February buries county

The Brown County Press/WAYNE GATES

Mt. Orab Street Department employee Chad Cheatham plows Eula Ave. on Tuesday.

There are a few people in Brown County who were around the last time this much snow fell in February...but not many.

The last time it happened was in 1914.

That was when the National Weather Service recorded 21.4 inches of accumulation, which was passed up when another seven inches fell last Monday night.

And with the month not over yet, forecasters expect that total to grow.

One person keeping an eye on the snow totals is County Engineer Todd Cluxton.

The snowfall on Feb. 15 and 16 has cost the county another one hundred thousand dollars in overtime, salt and fuel to plow the roads.

Cluxton said the total for this month has been around a quarter of a million dollars.

He said the problems caused by the snow continue

to pile up.

“Our salt supply is now very low”, Cluxton said.

“We are no longer able to sell salt to the townships and villages until we get some more deliveries.”

Cluxton said he has ordered another 1450 tons of salt, but has only gotten 100 tons so far.

That’s just about enough to cover the 346 miles of county roads one more time.

Schools are also feeling the impact of the snow.

Because of the recent winter weather, each public and vocational school district in Brown County has exceeded the five calamity days the Ohio Department of Education permits students to miss without having to make up later.

As of this past Thursday, Feb, 18, the Eastern Local, Southern Hills Joint Vocational and Western Brown Local school districts have three days to make up beyond their allotted five calamity days; the

Dozens of new jobs are anticipated at larger Country Inn in Mt. Orab First Brooks-Malott Road eatery is expected to open in early March

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The new and larger Country Inn Restaurant constructed on Brooks-Malott Road could bring 50 to 70 new jobs to Mt. Orab, according to its owner Nader David.

The restaurant, located across from the two-building medical campus that opened this past August on Brooks-

Malott Road, is expected to open sometime during the first half of March.

The new Country Inn Restaurant, which will be the first eatery on Brooks-Malott Road, will replace the current and smaller Country Inn Restaurant at 716 S. High St. in Mt. Orab.

The current restaurant, which opened in August 1986, will be open for its final time

on Sunday, Feb. 28, and David said a celebration will be held to commemorate its closing.

David mentioned all 20 or so current employees of the first Country Inn Restaurant will be working in the new eatery including waitress Joan Frye, who has been employed at the current restaurant since its opening more than two decades ago.

The Country Inn Restaurant owner said another seven or eight current employees have CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

While Georgetown utility customers may have ideas about how much their electric and water costs are going to rise in the near future, they have yet to find out what rate hikes they will have in their sewage treatment service bills.

That’s because Georgetown doesn’t know yet how much state and/or federal funding it may receive to help pay for some scheduled and required improvements to its sewage treatment system estimated to cost $8.3 million altogether.

The amount of that funding will determine how much customers will have to contribute to pay for the improvements, which Georgetown Village Administrator Kelly

Jones said are planned in three phases.

During a Feb. 16 interview in his office, Jones said the first phase is construction of a retention basin and a new lift station on Opossum Run, a tributary of White Oak Creek.

The second is a collection system and a retention basin near the village’s wastewater treatment plant on Effluent Drive, which is south of and directly behind the Brown County Fairgrounds.

The third involves major renovations to the wastewater treatment plant itself. Jones said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has required that all the village’s planned improvements be completed by September 2014.

He said residential and commercial growth in the CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

In an interview this past week, Western Brown Local School District Jeffrey Superintendent Royalty said one thing about the recent weather that has complicated his district’s efforts to be open on some days is the fact there are some places where buses, even if they are able to drive on roads to pick up students, can’t turn around because work crews have dumped picked-up snow on places buses use to turn around.

The village of Georgetown’s Personnel Policy Manual has a new Health Insurance Buyout Program Policy following Georgetown Village Council action on Jan. 28.

Council members meeting in regular session approved a resolution to adopt modifications to the old Health Insurance Buyout Program Policy and to repeal a resolution approved by a former Georgetown Village Council pertaining to that policy.

The Health Insurance Buyout Program permits Georgetown municipal employees not covered by the health insurance offered through the village to take a buyout from the village.

The money Georgetown pays those non-participating employee is less than the total premiums the village would have paid during a given year for that participating employee, thereby saving funds for the village.

The village will pay a participating employee 12 percent of the amount of a premium the village would have paid for that worker each month, and the annual buyout

paid to a worker equals 12 times the 12 percent monthly savings amount.

The policy has stipulations including the fact a participating employee must have other health insurance coverage available through a spouse and must provide proof of such other coverage.

The employee also may receive a buyout payment only for the type of health insurance coverage he or she is eligible to receive from Georgetown. For example, an unmarried man or woman couldn’t receive a buyout for a family plan.

Free Yard Sale Dates Set In other matters at the meeting, council members: • Set the dates for the village’s three Communitywide Yard Sale weekends for 2010.

Yard sale vendors will not have to pay the village for permits during those weekends, which are FridaysSundays, May 7-9, July 16-18 and Sept. 10-12.

• Engineering Technician Chris Hatfield with Santoro Engineering Co. of Georgetown gave an update on the efforts that company, which has been contracted by the village of Georgetown, has been making to get property owners in the village to

comply with the village’s unsafe structures ordinance.

Hatfield reported five or six property owners had agreed either to repair or demolish their structures that were deemed to be unsafe in their current conditions based on the ordinance.

In a Feb. 16 interview in his office, Village Administrator Kelly Jones reported the village with Santoro Engineering’s help already had addressed the agreed-to repairs or demolitions of about 10 other structures in Georgetown.

Buy local seminar huge success

Buy local foods seminar held As part of their ongoing effort to link local agricultural producers with consumers, the Catholic Rural Life Conference and the OK River Valley Chapter of the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) held their third annual Buy Local Foods Seminar on Jan. 31 at St. George Church Hall in Georgetown.

Over 60 people gathered to hear discussions of food buying clubs, finding local food sources, community based around food production, how

to market your produce, community supported agriculture groups, raw milk distribution, and the acceptance of food stamps at farmers markets.

There was opportunity for networking and exchange of information among those who were there, including producers from several counties and representatives of consumer groups and institutions in Cincinnati.

OEFFA is a group promoting and supporting organic and sustainable agriculture in

our area. For more information about OEFFA call Julie Kline at (937) 392-1543.

Don’t let others play games with your medicare coverage When you let other people play games with your Medicare coverage, everybody loses. That’s the message behind a series of 60-second spots airing on select radio stations in southern and southeastern Ohio in February and March. The Ohio Department of Aging has teamed with the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. to educate people with Medicare about health care fraud and provide the tools and resources they can use to prevent it.

The radio spots were created by “Voice of Your Consumer” as part of the department’s two-year Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Integration grant.

They feature a game show style announcer who tells unsuspecting consumers that they’ve “won” a medical procedure or medical equipment that they do not need and didn’t actually receive. When the “winners” question the prize, the announcer reluctantly reveals that the deal is in his best interest, not the consumer’s.

“The message is fun, but the problem is very serious,” said Barbara E. Riley, director of the department. “Medicare fraud costs American taxpayers an estimated $60 billion each year.”

“Every dollar lost to fraud could have been used to provide medical care, support home care services, and help people avoid unnecessary nursing home placements,” added Pamela K. Matura, Executive Director of the Area Agency on Aging, District 7, Inc. “Working with state and local partners, we want to help the people in our communities learn to recognize, report, and ultimately stop this and other types of health care fraud.”

Fraud includes billing for services that were not provided

or equipment that wasn’t received, over-billing, “unbundling” hospital charges so you are billed separately, and more. Older Ohioans can help fight fraud by carefully reading their quarterly Medicare Summary Notices and noting any charges they do not recognize or providers they have not used. If possible, consumers should address issues first with their providers, but can also call the state SMP hotline at (800) 488-6070 for assistance.

Other ways to prevent fraud protecting your include Medicare card much like you would your Social Security card, and not providing your Medicare number in exchange for free meals or prizes. For more information, contact the Regional Long Term Care Ombudsman Program Director Kaye Inoshita toll-free at (800) 582-7277.

Ohio seniors who wish to help spread the word about Medicare fraud to other seniors can call the SMP hotline number above to volunteer.

The Area Agency on Aging District 7. Inc. serves the following counties in Ohio: Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.

Services are rendered on a nondiscriminatory basis.

The Agency’s Mission is, “Assisting individuals to maintain independence and personal choice by providing resource options and services.”

The Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. has several Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) volunteers who are available to counsel Medicare recipients about their Medicare issues, including the Part D Prescription Drug Plan and the “Extra Help” program that assists income-eligible partici-

pants with paying premiums, keeping them from entering the “doughnut hole” of coverage.

If Medicare recipients receive phone calls or mail solicitations they are unsure of, they can call an Agency volunteer toll-free at (800) 582-7277.

Those interested in learning more about the services provided through the Area Agency on Aging District 7, can also call toll-free at (800) 582-7277.

Letters to the Editor

Volunteer bares teeth at detractor Dear Editor and Ms. Bath, In answer to your question: Yes, we at the Brown County Humane Society can read.

Further, we comprehend what we read. Generally, we spell and punctuate correctly.

You deny you “attacked” the Brown County Animal Shelter, but every time you criticize the Brown County Humane Society’s efforts at the Brown County Animal Shelter you diminish public trust in that facility. That, in essence, is an “attack”. You might just like seeing your name in print, Ms. Bath, but your petty rants to the editor hurt only the homeless animals you profess to protect.

Because you keep bringing up the same tired issues, I’ll try once more to make it clear for you.

Yes, as you point out (again), Humane Society Treasurer Ms. Fletcher did state, “…we just spent $315 to purchase scales for the shelter…” Yes, she wrote the check, but the funds were donated to the Society. And, yes, underfed dogs may have been just one motivation for the purchase, but that’s no longer a concern. Again for the last time, the prime motivation was - and is - to calibrate medications every day and to provide the courts with an accurate intake weight in

cruelty cases. End of discussion.

We don’t need you to define ‘employee’, ‘volunteer’ or ‘business’. I, among others, volunteer and – just like you- “perform a service willingly and without pay”.

The rescues you mention as having ‘employees’ are also nonprofits – just like you. Do you consider them businesses because they have ‘employees’, but you’re not because you don’t? The Humane Society is all volunteer, nonprofit, and spends every penny on animals – just like you - but we also provide a spay/neuter program, shelter medications, equipment, rescue expenses, etc. That doesn’t make us - or you - any more ‘noble’ than the others.

End of discussion.

We all agree (again) that donated food is more cost effective. A goal might be to coordinate donations to provide a more consistent diet for the already stressed dogs. In the meantime, the Humane Society – not the county applied for a program to obtain a consistent diet for the cost of shipping alone. That program is on hold and I’ve watched shelter staff welcome, appreciate, and feed all donated food. End of discussion.

You wrote during your visit to the shelter you were “lead

(sic) to believe” proposed improvements “…would be at the counties (sic) expense such as sound proofing the building and new cages for the puppy room”. I’ll try to make it simple for you, Ms. Bath. Humane Society members volunteered time and personally donated all materials for the recent shelter renovations. The Humane Society bought the puppy cages that the former dog warden scrapped, and now the Society has voted to pay for new cages. No county funds involved. Yes, we agree that in today’s economic climate the county can’t afford it.

But, it’s necessary for the dogs’ health and the shelter staff wants it, so we’re doing it. End of discussion.

You write (again), “My question remains what about the other animals?” suggesting we read the ORC code pertaining to cows, horses, pigs, goats, etc. We know the codes, Ms. Bath. We also understand the ramifications of Issue 2, HB 414 and the responsibility of the ODA. Since you mentioned a specific code, let me clarify that one for you. ORC 1717.13 permits anyone – yes, that includes you, Ms. Bath – to take possession of any animal to protect it from neglect.

You don’t have to be a Humane Agent or a member

of the Humane Society to do so. That means you, Ms. Bath.

We have our hands full right now helping to care for and place the 109 dogs logged into the shelter in just the last month-and-a-half. But, if you have the time, resources, and manpower to police farmers and grab their animals, have a go at it. When you practice what you preach, Ms. Bath, call us. I hope this clears up some of your misconceptions.

Brown County Humane Society volunteers are making a difference in the lives of homeless and helpless dogs, and, in the process, we’re making the shelter a more pleasant place to work and house those dogs. We’ve helped and placed dogs that have been shot, dragged by a vehicle and starved by the very people they’ve trusted. I don’t understand the fault you find with this, Ms. Bath.

For everyone else, I’d like to encourage you to visit the Brown County Animal Shelter to meet the new dog warden, the caring staff, and just maybe take home a new best friend. Many of the shelter’s dogs are displaced housebroken pets. Shelter hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Dear Editor, Let’s think “libertarian” for a moment: Unrestrained capitalism, devoid of government interference and any type of bailout should the company go belly-up due to mismanagement. The market sets the pace and decides who wins and who loses - who prospers and who gets flushed down the toilet. Free trade and capitalist ideas determine the whole thing - sink or swim, do or die, money made and money lost. Taxation is kept to a bare minimum. Welfare is slashed to the bare bones. And everybody is held responsible for taking care of his own. Is there anything wrong with this picture? No, not a thing!

That is unless you’re a socialist or a communist, who believes that the state should be left responsible for determining who gets what, when and where, and that it is the job of government to redistribute the wealth.

I had a man tell me recently that anybody who thought along those lines was a selfish S.O.B. who didn’t care about his fellow man. Funny, I always thought that anybody who didn’t think along these lines was selfishly burdening the next generation... and the next... and the next... and the

next... with untold debt and little chance of coming out of it on top.

Before government took over trying to cure us of poverty, we were doing better on our own!

Let’s look at what history teaches us, (and no, not that revisionist crap) about how capitalism actually saved America from the very beginning: when the first permanent settlers arrived from England to the Jamestown colony in 1607, they had an abundance of everything at hand - fertile soil, wild game, seafood, etc. And yet, they were almost starved out of existence. Why? (In fact, this happened twice, in 1607 and again two years later, in what was known as “the starving time.”)

The reason for such wide spread starvation was primarily due to a severe lack of industry fostered by a system of indentured servitude - none of them were working for themselves, at first. They were working for the Virginia Company. None of these early colonists had a financial stake in the venture. They were expected to work off their passage to the new World for a period of seven years - what was produced collectively

went into a common pool, from which each received the same amount, the rest going to the Virginia company. Call it “collectivized farming” or call it a type of “socialism” it failed miserably. It didn’t turn around toward the greater good until around 1611 when Sir Thomas Dale was sent as the “high marshall” of the Virginia Colony. He was the one who recognized the problem of command ownership.

At his suggestion, each man was given a “private property” and allowed to work for himself - a total of three acres, from which he was to pay the colony the lump sum of two and a half bushels of corn. When the benefit of private property was introduced, each man became more industrious and productive. The colony flourished.

The same can also be said about the Pilgrims at Plymouth - they needed incentive and this was provided by the capitalist spirit. The American Revolutionary War was fought for reasons of economic freedom as much as any other reason - if not more so. In fact, every great undertaking and achievement can be traced back to the capitalist incentive of monetary gain

and the spirit of free enterprise. Government intervention has little or nothing to do with our success as a nation.

Kicking the government out of our lives, as much as possible, is the only thing that will save us economically.

Being free from the tyranny of over-taxation will give us the gusto to get back on the track of true economic freedom. And, if a corporation or bank should fail, let it do so on its own - and then let the rest learn from its failure.

vital that we have an accurate count of our residents to ensure we can continue to meet the needs of our state's two million seniors."

The 2010 Census will take place on April 1, 2010, with questionnaires arriving midMarch. Forms are sent to every residence, meaning if you have two residences, such as one here and one in Florida, you will receive forms at both addresses. Snowbirds should list their Ohio residence as their permanent household if they spend the majority of the year here.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, to be counted once, in the right place and at the right time, a snowbird should fill out both of the forms they receive: • On the form that you receive at your seasonal residence (meaning you spend less than the majority of your year here), the only questions that should be answered are question one and question 10. For question one, enter a "zero."

For question 10, select "yes, at seasonal or second residence."

• On the form that you receive at your permanent household (where you spend the majority of your year), you should fill out the entire survey even if you are still at your seasonal residence on April 1. For example, if you live in Ohio eight months a year and another state for four months, your Ohio residence is your perma-

nent household.

The department also encourages Ohioans to share these tips with friends or family members who have already left for their seasonal residences. The data collected during the 2010 Census will be used to distribute more than $400 billion dollars to states and local communities and also will determine Ohio's representation in the U.S. House of Representatives over the next decade.

The United States Post Office will not forward census questionnaires. In May and June, U.S. Census Bureau employees will visit residences that do not return a form. To avoid a knock on your door, complete your form and mail it back. For more information about the 2010 Census, visit www.2010census.gov.

Plans are underway for Magic Waters Theatre 2010!

Tony Copper, long-time Magic Waters Theatre family member, Xenia, has written a delightful season of family entertainment for the rustic amphitheater on Cave Road near Bainbridge. Having been away from Magic Waters for a few seasons, seeking his fortune in the big city of Dayton, Tony returned last summer for a small part in the “Odd Couple-Female Version”, and he realized how much fun he had been missing out on! A call to Janny Brizius who is co-producer along with her husband, Boonie, unveiled an entire season of plays which he had written for 2010! The following is a rough idea of how things will go for the season. Opening with one of Tony’s famous Murder Mysteries, this one is to be entitled “Sherlock Holmes’ American Cousin in the Mystery of the Walking Corpse”, they will probably then present “Hansel & Gretel”, but this version will not be for the kiddies only, as in Tony’s Hansel and Gretel, the main characters are teenage ghost busters --intended to be great fun for folks of all ages! Tony’s part of the season will conclude with ‘Hamlet!” Yes, THE Hamlet, with Shakespeare’s original language, but set in modern day time, much the same as the “Romeo & Juliet” adaptation that he wrote a few years ago for the theatre which was so very well received.

Be watching the web site at w w w . h i g h l a n d ohio.com/magicwaters for finalized plans, dates, etc. or call (937) 365-1388 for further information.

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com people today are still ignorant about his true identification and character. They didn’t believe it then and most won’t believe it today. But bare with me and let’s follow this through in the Bible.

We know that Judas was a thief.

Now consider what Jesus said in John 10:1 “VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Judas was a thief. The antichrist is a thief and a robber. He will steal the reputation of Jesus Christ when he comes back and sets himself up as God (II Thessalonians 2:4). Look at verse 10 of John 10: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...” Revelation 6:4: “...and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” There are four horses but only one horseman and he is the antichrist. He will legalize murder. It is almost that way now. The average jail time for a murderer in America today is 9 years. Verse 8: “...and power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” This thief, this antichrist, is coming to steal, kill, and destroy. Isn’t that what Jesus told us in John 10:10? Did you know that the one called Abaddon and Apollyon in Revelation 9:11 is not the devil? He is the antichrist. He is the angel of the bottomless pit. Both names mean destroyer. The thief in John 10 is a destroyer. Now go back to John 5:43. Jesus states: “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” He was telling the Jews that the day will come when they will receive the false messiah, the false christ. To be continued.

He was very Batavia, Ohio, passed away with 9 intelligent with elecmonths apart of each other when tronics. Between them Ron was only 15 years old. This and Cincinnati Bell he was very hard on him. He then remained there for 30 lived with his brother Charles Hitt years and retired at 50 of Batavia. His other brothers years old. Ronald and were Bill Hitt, Calvin Hitt, and Joe Janice had 5 children. 1 Hitt. He had two sisters, Doris Hitt Ron Hitt, 19 daughter - Rhonda and and Gerri Hahn. He later moved to 4 sons - Ronald, Kevin, Williamsburg, Ohio with Doris Robert and Dale. 9 grandchildren - Matthew Gene Hitt to finish school there. He was so very handDennemann, Tim Dennemann, Ronald Gene Hitt, some. That is where and when he met the “love of Matthew Laws, Kevin Joe Hitt, Kasey Lee Hitt, his life” Janice. Then when he was old enough he Rachel Frances Hitt, Dawson Anderson Hitt, and Tyler A. Hitt. 2 great-grand-daughters - Rebekah and Courtney Dennemann.

He loved his children very much and was a wonderful father. He enjoyed hunting with his sons.

While he was sick his daughter stayed with him to help him. He enjoyed talking about God with her. He loved the birds, he could tell you everything about them just by a sound they made. He could talk to an owl at night until it would come right down and sit on the fence post next to him. Unbelievable, I know, but I saw him do it many times (large owls, great horn owls). He could build a home, work on vehicles, put electric in, it didn’t matter (whatever). Ron owned and operated many airplanes, he was a great pilot. He enjoyed playing baseball and was good at it, this man could really run FAST. He was a fantastic pitcher, he could throw a fast ball at 94 M.P.H. and a sinker that would break more than 3 ft., at the age of 25 years old. Now that’s good!!

Ruth Hammock, 85

Last week I left off in Daniel 7:25 where it tells us that the antichrist will think to change times and laws. According to I Timothy 4 in the latter times some will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. Not only will the antichrist forbid people to marry, he will also change laws concerning dietary habits and will command people everywhere to abstain from eating meat. This will bring about world famine because all beef, pork, poultry, and so on which is being consumed will stop being consumed.

People will starve to death while the animals eat the food. I believe the great famines predicted in the book of Revelation is mainly brought about by this one command to stop eating meat. The preparation for that is already in existence. The animal rights groups are pushing hard now. It is already to the point where an animal is just as important or sometimes even more important than a baby. Babies are being killed every day in this country by abortion while people are being put in jail for killing an animal. Awhile back a man killed a dog and it was called murder. Yet when a baby is aborted people say: oh well it was just a fetus. I don’t believe in being cruel to animals but where is our thinking today? Child molestation, murder, rape, and violence of all manner is on the rise and all these criminals get is a slap on the wrist! We are getting close to the time of the antichrist.

Let’s find out his identification according to the Bible. Turn with me to John 13 when the disciples asked Jesus who would betray Him. We will start here and go backwards. Look in verses 26-27, “...He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And after the sop Satan entered into him.” Satan entered into Judas. Now go back to chapter 12. Here is where we learn a little bit more about the character of this man Judas. Mary had anointed the feet of Jesus with a very costly ointment. Afterward Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, said in verse 5: “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

Verse 6: “This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.” The other disciples never discovered that he was a thief and a deceiver right up until the last supper. And

Ron at his 64th Birthday Party with his children there, but I still talk to you about a lot of things. I talk mainly about our children and how lost they are without you. We remained friends even after our divorce. We shared a lot of conversations together over the years until your death.

Folks, be careful with your life you have been given by our Great Creator. For we do make mistakes fast. Choose the right crowd to be with and try to do things, little things, together. Love Jehovah God and our Dear Savior. Give him thanks each day for your life (He is so good). Remember this, “Hind Sight Will Kick You in the Butt,” This I know for sure.

And we went our ways as friends forever.

MOE starts walking program for staff Mt. Orab Elementary is proud to partner with the American Heart Association's Start Campaign, a physical activity initiative to fight heart disease and stroke by getting people moving through workplace walking programs. Participating in this program can significantly improve your health.

According to a Harvard University Study, you will gain about two hours of life expectancy for each hour of regular exercise, even if you don't start until middle age.

Brisk walking for as little as 30 minutes a day can bring heart-health benefits and reduce your risk for stroke by lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and high blood pressure.

MOE third graders celebrate with a pizza party Over one hundred third graders at Mt. Orab Elementary School enjoyed a pizza party as a reward for learning their basic multiplication facts. All of the third grade classes have been working very hard on getting "fact power" by using various strategies like making arrays, drawing pictures, flashcard games, timed tests, rhyming facts, and many more. It is very important that they continue to practice their multiplication facts so they will be ready to move on to multiplication and division with extended numbers. Great work kids and congratulations. All of your hard work paid off!

Mt. Orab Elementary's assistant principal, Mrs. Debra Maham, encourages families to take part in literacy and communication activities with their children to help them better understand the world around them. As families get ready for school, prepare for work, eat meals together, shop, do inside and outside chores or play together, children are exposed to a variety of ways to communicate. They learn through their own talking and listening and through the talking and listening of their caregivers.

Family literacy refers to all the activities that families take part in that develop children's communication skills, such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. This literacy development begins at birth and is a building block for how children learn to use language. There are many natural opportunities through the week to help support your child's developing literacy.

Here are a few common activities to enjoy at home with your child that will promote family literacy: Create a shopping list together. Read labels at the grocery store.

Approximately 90 percent qualify for Early I.D., and volunteers are recruited to help teach the children specific skills with instruction from Early I.D. Staff, Debbie Eldridge, Chris Neal, and

Linda Newberry. Early I.D. was introduced to the Western Brown School District in 1998 after superintendent Jeff Royalty observed the success of the program at Reading's Hilltop Elementary.

The program received Ohio's Family Partnership Award during the 2001-2002 school year.

Last year Channel 19's “Cool School” segment honored Mt. Orab's Early I.D.

Announcing the 2010 Mocktails Contest Winners!

Brown County Safe Communities, Brown County General Hospital, and the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center co-sponsored the third annual Brown County Mocktails Contest on February 2nd at the hospital.

The Mocktails Contest was held to raise public awareness about the importance of not drinking and driving during the upcoming Super Bowl festivities, and to show that party drinks need not contain alcohol to be enjoyable (a “mocktail” is a nonalcoholic party drink).

This year’s contest had a football theme and was centered around the NFL Super Bowl, as traditionally there have been almost as many alcohol-related crashes during Super Bowl Weekend as there are with other major holidays.

“Fans don’t let fans drive drunk” was the key message.

Several folks (including employees and patrons of Brown County General Hospital) stopped by and sampled the drinks. We had more Mocktail recipes this year than ever before, with many entries coming from our area’s high schools.

Southern Hills Career & Technical Center’s Safety Team and the FCCLA chapters from both Georgetown Jr./Sr. High and RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington High participated, along with the Brown County Commissioners, Brown County Municipal Court, and Rumpke, Inc. You could really tell that the participants had put a lot of thought into their entries (and they also included a “don’t drink and drive” display with their Mocktail samples).

with this event was outstanding. Southern Hills’ Safety Team had the Mocktails project as a class assignment and was divided into eight teams, each with three students.

They had a variety of very tasty drinks, including the “Who-Dey Smu-They”.

RULH High’s FCCLA had done a lot of piloting and testing of Mocktails with the RULH student body and faculty before the event, and had also conducted additional impaired driving prevention activities at the High School.

Georgetown High’s FCCLA went all out with their display (complete with New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts’ logos and colors) and even offered finger foods with their Mocktails!

Rumpke, Inc. did an exceptional job once again with its colorful display and a clever play on words for its booth slogan (“Don’t get trashed on Super Bowl Sunday!”).

Myron Flaugher had the largest display of Bengals’ decorations at the Brown County Municipal Court’s booth and even enlisted his wife Anita to help serve his Mocktails! Lastly, (but certainly not least!), our three County Commissioners presented their “Commissioners’ Choice” Mocktail, complete with cheese, crackers, and a very patriotic display.

Here are the results of the Contest, as determined by

those people who stopped by on their lunch hour, tasted the Mocktails, and voted for their favorite drinks and displays.

Toast of the County (Best Mocktail): Brown County Municipal Court (“Myron’s Megabyte Cocktail”).

Most Creative Display: Georgetown Jr./Sr. High FCCLA Chapter Most Effective “Don’t Drink & Drive” Message/Display: Georgetown Jr./Sr. High FCCLA Best Mocktail Name: Rumpke, Inc. (“The Front Loader”) Judges’ Choice (overall booth presentation): Georgetown Jr./Sr. High

G E V S D i s t r i c t Superintendent Tony Dunn praised Pack and the rest of the work crew for their snow removal efforts, commenting how they had done a “fantastic” job.

Dunn also complimented the townships located in the district, saying they are doing a much job as well of removing snow.

Georgetown Village Administrator Kelly Jones said snow removal work crews had begun working non-stop at 7 a.m. this past Monday, Feb. 15, with each crew including three to five people at a time on 12hour shifts. Jones said eight different village employees from its Street, Sewer, Electric, Water and Cemetery departments had labored in the effort.

While Jones reported there were not a lot of problems, he mentioned how the snow of the previous week which still remained on the ground, added to the heavier snowfall that fell last week compared to that earlier week, made it difficult to

find places to dump the snow the work crews removed.

He said some snow was transported to a large parking lot in the back part of the village’s Kathryn Hanlon Park.

Jones said this past week’s storm brought an estimated 11 inches of snow to the village.

He mentioned since Feb. 15 was the Presidents’ Day Holiday, and both village government and Brown County government offices were closed in Georgetown, that helped the Georgetown snow removal crews’ efforts “tremendously”.

Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford reported snow removal work crews in that village went out probably around 4 a.m. Feb. 15 to begin their labor and worked until about 6 p.m. this past Tuesday, Feb. 16.

After Lunsford had begun an interview with The Brown County Press a little past 8:30 p.m. this past Tuesday following that night’s Mt. Orab Village Council meeting, he learned a village crew was going to go out to work again.

Some new snow was falling that night.

Lunsford said two of the village’s four trucks used in the effort had broken down but were repaired. He mentioned someone was in each truck and also in a Bobcat and a backhoe “pretty much all night and all day”.

The mayor said this past week’s snow removal effort was more difficult than the previous week’s because village workers still had the unmelted snow from that previous week with which to deal.

In his Feb. 16 interview, Lunsford estimated the village had used about 350 tons of road salt during the last seven days.

He said he could speak for all village street and utility workers and police officers by mentioning, “They’re sick of snow.”

Candidates in the Republican Party Primary Election on May 4 for the U.S. House of Representatives seat from Ohio’s Second Congressional District speak at the Brown County Republican Party Central Committee’s endorsement meeting Feb. 11 in Georgetown. From left are incumbent Jean Schmidt, Michael Kilburn and Deborah Alsfelder.

Incumbent Schmidt receives Brown Co. Republican Party’s endorsement Three U.S. House Second District candidates speak at political event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 among Republican officeholders in Brown County.

Hall said a quorum of Central Committee members was present on Feb. 11 to permit endorsement voting to proceed. In order to win the committee’s endorsement, a minimum of 65 percent of those voting had to approve an endorsement.

In addition to Schmidt, two other Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives seat from Ohio’s Second Congressional District spoke at the endorsement gathering: Michael Kilburn of Morrow and Deborah Alsfelder of Mariemont.

The Second District includes all of Brown, Adams, Clermont and Pike counties and portions of Hamilton, Scioto, and Warren counties.

As Hamilton County is the most-populous of those seven counties, Second District candidates must file papers to run for election with the Hamilton County Board of Elections in Cincinnati.

The Hamilton County Board reported this past Thursday morning, Feb. 18, Schmidt, Kilburn and Tim Martz of Cincinnati, who didn’t attend the Brown County Republican gathering, all had field to run for the Second District seat in the May 4 Primary Election. While Alsfelder hadn’t filed by that time, she had until 4 p.m. that day, the deadline date, to do so.

The Hamilton County Board also reported three candidates had filed to run for the Second District seat in the Democratic Party Primary Election on May 4: David Krikorian of Madeira, Jim Parker of Waverly and Sarya Yalamanchili of Cincinnati. An additional candidate, Marc Johnston of Cincinnati, had filed to run in the General Election as a Libertarian Party candidate.

Schmidt Makes Her Case Schmidt, 58, won a Special Election in August 2005 to fill out the remainder of U.S. Rep.

Rob Portman’s two-year term after Portman had resigned to take a position in President George W. Bush’s Administration. She then won complete two-year terms in the U.S. House in 2006 and 2008.

She told those gathered in Georgetown on Feb. 11, “I am mad at the direction our country is going.”

The Democratic Party currently has majorities in both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate. Schmidt told her listening Republicans, “The Democrats are spending us into poverty.”

She said she was mad about all the dollars being spent at the federal level and said Congress had voted five times in the past 14 months to raise the federal debt limit, mentioning how Democrats in the U.S. House had applauded when they raised the debt limit the most recent time.

“I wanted to cry because I know what they are doing to our children and grandchildren, putting them into financial ruin,” she said.

Schmidt said Second District voters do not want the healthcare and “cap and trade” climate change legislation measures being considered by Congress and supported by many Democrats.

She said she was very upset $2 billion of federal money was awarded to a uranium enrichment plant in Iowa after President Barack Obama reportedly had promised to award that money to such a plant in Ohio’s Pike County which has 800 jobs. She added the profits from that Iowa plant are being sent to France instead of staying in America.

Schmidt was instrumental in helping Perry Township obtain about $541,000 in federal funding to extend 6 1/2 miles of waterlines in that township’s northern area, even though actual extension work hasn’t begun yet. She said she supported that expenditure of federal funds because she views it as a public safety issue.

The village administrator said Georgetown will seek grants and low-interest loans from funding sources to help pay for its three planned phases of improvements. “I am confident we can get some grants, but I am not sure how much.”

He said possible funding sources include OEPA, the Ohio Public Works Commission, and federal Appalachian Regional Commission and Community Development Block Grant monies.

Council Acts For Funding Georgetown Village Council members acted at their regular meeting Feb. 11 to help the village obtain sewage treatment system improvement funding by approving two separate relevant motions.

They authorized Jones to seek a low-interest loan from OEPA to help fund the

Opossum Run project, which is estimated to cost $980,000.

The council also authorized the village administrator to seek funding for the three-phase project as a whole from whatever state and federal sources that are available.

In another sewer servicerelated matter, Jones reported three Wahlsburg-area residents inquired at the Feb. 11 council meeting about Georgetown extending sewage treatment service to their community, which is north of Georgetown.

Jones said he, Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall and Allen Freeman, a consultant who works with the village on obtaining state and federal funding for projects, discussed that request with those residents and informed them that work could not be undertaken in the near future because of the required sewage treatment plant work to enable Georgetown to meet OEPA mandates.

The administrator said Georgetown could undertake a project such as the Wahlsburgarea residents were requesting only if the village received some federal Stimulus money or other funding aimed at that

work.

Other Utility News Given Regarding other utilities, Georgetown electric customers are expected to pay 17.5 percent more for that utility in the near future and higher water rates beginning in May. Georgetown council members authorized Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell at their regular meeting on Jan. 28 to draw up an ordinance to enact that increase, but an ordinance hasn’t been acted on yet, Jones mentioned this past Tuesday.

Village Councilman Chris Renshaw reported at the Jan. 28 meeting Georgetown electric customers hadn’t had an electric rate increase in 16 years.

Also at the Jan. 28 meeting, Cahall said Pleasant Townshipbased Brown County Rural Water Association, which supplies water to the village, has the option of increasing its rates every 42 months. He said the increase coming to Georgetown in May could be as high as 10.5 percent, the maximum allowed under the village’s contract with BCRWA. The village will pass its rate increase from BCRWA on to its water customers. Jones recommended the village not pass on a higher increase to its customers than the percentage by which BCRWA increased its rate to Georgetown.

mented, adding how the federal government sometimes needs to lend a helping hand.

Schmidt told her listeners she is pro-life on the abortion issue, supports gun owners’ rights and opposes efforts to legalize homosexual marriages. She also mentioned she had received Republican Party endorsements in Adams, Clermont and Scioto counties.

Kilburn Makes His Case Kilburn, 55, began his talk by mentioning how he had won a seat on the Warren County Board of Commissioners by 19 votes when he was 27 and has served on that governing body since.

He described himself as an “absolute conservative” and mentioned he works with good leaders in Warren County government. He said they were able to cut their budget by 5 percent this year despite the fact their interest revenue was down by about $5 million.

Kilburn commented, “Government does too much for too many people” and added, “The federal government has grown too big, spends too much money, and taxes us too much.”

He said he believes the Republicans will take back the U.S. House with a majority of victories in the 2010 General Election and said when that happens, Republican voters need to make sure they have “absolute conservatives” in Congress who will support conservative issues.

Kilburn said corporate tax rates need to be eliminated, the United States needs to do something to keep corporations from moving their jobs overseas, and the federal government needs to change its tax structure to either a flat tax or a “fair tax”.

“We need to pull the wagon with the same strength,” Kilburn said of federal taxpayers.

Kilborn said he is “absolutely pro-life”, supports gun owners’ rights and doesn’t supporting increasing any rights for homosexual activists.

Alsfelder Makes Her Case Alsfelder, 52, told her listeners she is a Certified Public Accountant, an attorney and a “military mom” of three sons who all attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. She said her oldest son was being deployed to the Middle East for the second time in about three weeks while her middle son was expected to be deployed in August.

Alsfelder said “family is very important to me” and mentioned how she is “conservative across the board”. She said she is pro-life and supports the institution of marriage as being between a man and a woman.

She said she supports term limits for members of Congress and wants to seek alternative energy sources to help the United States be an energy independent nation.

Alsfelder said the most important thing a member of Congress needs to do is abide by the U.S. Constitution, commenting, “It’s not a living document, it’s a legal document.”

She said Congress needs to work to make the United States stronger, safer and better and Congress needs to put the Constitution first and to balance the federal budget.

As the mother of children serving in the U.S. military, she said she knows firsthand the sacrifices of service personnel and their families and urged her listeners, “We need to let veterans and servicemen know we support them.”

She said the greatest gift a U.S. citizen can have is a continuation of the American dream and mentioned, “My candidacy is about one thing – making America strong.”

receive training in the new restaurant’s operations, the South High Street restaurant will close a short time before the Brooks-Malott Road eatery will open.

The new and larger restaurant will need more employees than the current Country Inn Restaurant, possibly as many

New employees needed include servers, kitchen workers, salad bar attendants, cashiers, dishwashers, custodial and maintenance workers, table bussers, and hostesses, a

al manager of the new eatery at first will be Michael Kels, who also will be district manager of David Restaurant Enterprises, L.L.C., David’s corporation which owns the Country Inn Restaurant and five other eateries in Brown and Clermont counties.

He said Kels worked five years as a training manager with Frisch’s corporate headquarters and five years as a general manager and district manager with Skyline Chili’s corporate headquarters. Kels opened many new Frisch’s and Skyline Chili restaurants while serving in those positions, David reported.

“He has lots of great experience – we are excited to have him on board,” the Country Inn Restaurant owner said about Kels.

New Eatery Much Bigger The new Country Inn Restaurant not only will have more employees but more seats, more space and more menu selections, according to David.

While the current restaurant seats about 110 at a maximum, the new eatery will seat 150.

Tables and some booths will seat up to four customers each while some other booths will seat up to six customers.

David said the new restaurant also has more space in which employees and customers alike can move around, and the rest rooms also are larger than the current restaurant’s.

Kitchen workers will discover more space in that area as well than currently available at the South High Street eatery. David mentioned everything in the new kitchen is upgraded from that in the current restaurant and will be more computerized.

Daily Specials To Continue The restaurant owner said there will continue to be daily

specials just as there are now.

He said everything in the restaurant, including its pies and cakes, will be made from scratch and very reasonably priced.

A new feature David said he wants to introduce eventually at the Brooks-Malott Road eatery, but not right away, is a breakfast buffet on weekends.

David said he expects the new Country Inn Restaurant to have a high volume of customer traffic because of its proximity to State Route 32 (the Appalachian Highway).

Hours Are Announced The new eatery’s hours will start off being 6 a.m.-9 p.m.

Mondays-Thursdays, 6 a.m.10 p.m. Fridays, and 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, but those hours could change, depending on customer traffic, David reported.

Some customers could include visitors to Mt. Orab who travel Brooks-Malott Road to reach sporting events either at the sports complex further south on that road or at nearby Western Brown High School.

While David said the new location and larger building for the Country Inn Restaurant are “all new territory” to those involved with the BrooksMalott Road eatery, he added the move is “a very positive impact for our business and a positive impact for our community”.

He invited the Country Inn Restaurant’s current customers and interested new customers to drop by the new restaurant when it opens in March to sample its offerings.

“We appreciate everyone who has supported us for the past 24 years, and we look forward to welcoming them again and all our new guests with the same country hospitality,” the restaurant’s owner said.

Eastern Lady Warriors clinch share of SHL title Coach Richard Kiser records 600th win

By Jeremy Sharp Press Contributor If there was any question as to whether or not Eastern Brown Lady Warriors’ head coach Richard Kiser was going to get his 600th career win on Feb. 11 versus Whiteoak, the Lady Warriors answered it quickly. Less than two minutes into the game, Eastern held a 7-0 lead, and seemed poised to have its way with the Lady Wildcats. By the end of the first quarter, that lead was 18-2.

With 5:57 showing on the second-quarter clock,

Whiteoak finally scored its third point of the night.

Unfortunately for the Lady Wildcats, the Lady Warriors had already scored 23. This was a pretty good indication of how the rest of the game would go. Of course, the score would become less dramatic, high school basketball teams just don’t get held to singledigit point totals. However, the deficit was insurmountable.

By game’s end, Eastern Brown’s side of the scoreboard registered 74 points, compared to Whiteoak’s 34.

Nearly everyone got to play for Eastern Brown, and as a

result, 10 Lady Warriors scored. They were also aided by 26 Lady Wildcat turnovers, including 14 steals, and a mere one converted free throw by Whiteoak.

Megan Scott delivered a fine performance for Eastern with 11 points and five rebounds, Shayla Black also scored 11 and Rachel Mullins was the third Lady Warrior to wind up in double digits with 10. Allison Prine had nine points, along with seven assists, seven rebounds and four steals. Emily Tatman tallied eight points in the win, and Nicolette Clifton and Andrea Neu each had seven.

Coach Kiser’s milestone victory seemed to be the highlight of this night, but he was focused on the present.

“The 600 is kind of neat,” he said, “but winning the league is really special, that didn’t look so good for us three or four weeks ago. I’m hoping we can make a big run in the tournament.”

Kiser may be wisely focused on this season, but it would be hard not to look back on an amazing career, “We’ve had some great teams over the course of the years, without them it wouldn’t even be close,” added Kiser.

Congratulations on 600 wins.

Rockets lose to Devils, 70-62

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Rockets dropped a 70-62 Southern Hills League game at North Adams last Friday.

“Our defense was good in the first quarter,” said Fayetteville coach Darryl Iles.

The first period belonged to Fayetteville both offensively and defensively. The Rockets jumped out to a 13-3 lead, getting baskets from Tyler Gambrel, Tyler Guenther and Mullins.

After Daniel Guenther made two more shots and Gambrel added another bucket, Fayetteville held a 19-5 advantage with 1:16 left in the first.

Peebles scored four points at the line in the closing seconds of the half. After two quarters, Eastern held a 35-27 lead.

“We got in some foul trouble,” said Beucler. “Our young guys came in and gave us some nice minutes.”

The third period turned into a 3-point shooting contest.

Justice hit two and Seaman made one trey for the Indians.

Lawson connected for one three and Knabb drained two for the Warriors in the first five minutes of the half.

Little scored twice in the post for Eastern in the final two minutes of the quarter, but Peebles tied the count at 54-54 after 3-pointers by Andy Countryman and Tyler McFarland.

“We didn’t execute against their press,” said Iles. “We panicked and threw the ball away. Our lack of defense in that second half was disappointing. We let the ball get to the middle too much and we didn’t box out very well.”

During the ensuing dash down the court, an Eastern player was bumped off course causing a tough last second heave toward the basket. The ball rimmed out, giving Peebles a 68-67 win.

“The kids played hard,” said Beucler. “We defended the way we wanted to. We just didn’t shoot it real well from the line.”

Cody Drake started things off for the G-Men with a threepoint shot, followed by Jess Chadwell sinking a two, giving Georgetown a 5-0 lead. Then

things started to get dicey. It seemed as if the G-Men could have put Felicity away at any given time. However, turnovers, fouls, and giving up far too many second chance shot opportunities kept the Cardinals in it. Georgetown led 16-14 at

the end of one.

Felicity went from being ‘just in it’ to on top in the second quarter, taking advantage of continued G-Men miscues. A 10-2 scoring run in favor of the Cardinals ended the half, putting Georgetown in a 33-24 hole.

One thing opposing teams must know about the G-Men is that they don’t stop playing until the final buzzer sounds.

The Cardinals found that out the hard way in the second half.

Georgetown burst out of the locker room with a 10-0 run, recapturing the lead. It would be neck-and-neck for the rest of the game.

Ben Cropper was having a quiet game for the G-Men. Until, that is, the fourth quarter.

Cropper exploded for 10 points in the final frame, including six points and a steal in just over a minute that would give Georgetown the lead for good.

It was a valiant effort, and Felicity almost did it, but the Cardinals could not knock off the G-Men. Georgetown won the game 67-58.

“There wasn’t one thing that you can put your finger on that did wrong,” said we Fayetteville coach Toby Sheets.

“I think it was just two good teams playing each other. Our defense was good tonight and they did a nice job defensively.”

Lindsey Hawk opened the scoring for Lynchburg with a 3pointer. Lillian Blankenship made a jumper and a three for the Lady Mustangs and Meredith Fittro added a 3-pointer. Midway through the first frame, Lynchburg held a 9-2 advantage.

Over the final four minutes of the quarter, Fayetteville got going offensively. Shelby Sheets and Shelby Brown each hit a free throw. Desiree Dutro stuck back an offensive rebound and Brown canned two jumpers before the buzzer sounded.

After one complete, Lynchburg held a 14-10 edge.

“Our lack of practice (weather) took away from our shooting tonight,” said Sheets.

The Lady Rockets’ offensive woes continued in the second stanza. Fayetteville managed only four points in the period.

But the Lady Rockets’ defense held Lynchburg to only eight tallies, four of which came in the final minute when Hannah Blankenship made good on a 3pointer and one free throw. At the break, Fayetteville trailed, 22-14.

Brown nailed a three to open the second half scoring for the Lady Rockets. Hawk answered with another three for Lynchburg. The neighboring schools continued trading baskets for the first four minutes of the third quarter.

With just over three minutes left in the period, Jill Ryan made a layup, followed by a layup from Dutro. Emily Stahl canned a jumper and Brown scored on the inside. After the 80 run by Fayetteville, the Lady Rockets found themselves down by one, at 30-29, with one minute remaining in the third.

WB Lady Broncos finish 17-4

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Lady Broncos’ season ended Wednesday with a 52-51 loss to the Milford Lady Eagles in the Division I sectional tournament at Kings High School.

“Milford is a good team with a big program,” said Western coach Mike Cooper. “We gave up too many second-chance points in the first half.”

Milford and Western traded baskets and free throws throughout the first period with neither team taking more than a three-point lead. At the end of the quarter, Western held a slight, 9-8 advantage.

Midway through the second stanza, with Western on top, 1716, Milford went on a 13-4 run

With 16 ticks left on the clock, Chelsea Gilman sank a free throw for Milford, giving the Lady Eagles a 52-50 lead.

Latham made 1-of-2 in response, closing the gap to one

point with 11 seconds left.

Western got one last chance after a held ball gave them possession with eight seconds remaining.

The Lady Broncos got two shots at the rim, but were unable to convert, falling to the Lady Eagles, 52-51.

“We came back and had a shot, we just couldn’t make it,” said Cooper. “Lauren played phenomenal tonight. We tried to get it in her hands at the end, but Milford did a nice job of making her give it up. Jeanette did a solid job tonight.”

Davis led all scorers with 21 points. Cunningham added 12 and Latham chipped in six.

Gilman paced Milford with 14 tallies. Morgan Wolcott added 11.

The Lady Broncos, who won the American Division of the SBC with a record of 13-1, finish the year with an overall mark of 17-4. Western bids farewell to six seniors in Davis, Cunningham, Latham, Morgan Henry, Courtney Jackson-Wahl and Lindsey Leist.

“What they’ve done in four years is great,” said Cooper.

“They’ve worked hard and competed night in and night out.

Hopefully, the younger kids learned from them.”

Remember Issue 2?

Back in the fall I received several calls from people wanting to know more about Issue 2. Issue 2 passed in November and created the Livestock Care Ohio Standards Board. The Board is still being put together and as promised, the Humane Society of the United States has come forward with a ballot initiative.

If you would like to read what is coming next on this front you may want to check out an editorial that appeared in the Columbus Dispatch by doing an online search (Using Ohio Constitution to wage animal-rights battles).

Snow, Snow and More Snow As I type this on Monday (President’s Day) we are getting another heavy dose of the white stuff that most kids hope for during the winter.

They like to play in it, and it usually means no school.

Well, it is not as fun as it once was, and it is long from over.

The forecast that I heard earlier is calling for more snow overnight and Tuesday. Then another storm for the weekend, and if I heard it correct we were already 10 inches of snow above normal before this blast.

I talked to a few farmers that are having calves born in this mess. This is not good weather for newborns or any livestock. The wet coat that this snow is causing, plus there is a breeze blowing to the point that it is drifting the snow, this combination puts added cold stress on livestock. In some cases, shelter is just not possible. When shelter is possible, it will reduce the stress, but so will additional calories. Feeding some additional corn on wet, windy, cold days will reduce the stress. As far as the shelter is concerned, I have a few cows with young calves that have access to an open barn,

Brian Stephens and his 18-point non-typical deer taken during the Ohio gun season.

New state record deer taken with muzzleloader On Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010, I was given the opportunity by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to report on the official scoring and the recording of a new state record deer taken with a muzzleloader. As I drove to District Five Headquarters in Xenia, I traveled across Highland County where the 18-point non-typical deer was taken during the Ohio gun season by Brian Stephens.

When I arrived at the office at District Five, I found Brian, and his wife, Kelly and other family members, waiting for the official scoring to begin.

As everyone waited for the scoring to start I had a chance to talk to Brian about his deer and how the hunt took place on the day he harvested this

JEFF KRESS great deer. Brian told me that his deer was taken on a farm that has been in his family for years. I asked him if he had hunted this one deer over the past few years. He informed me that he hadn’t, but he did see the deer in 2007. On the day he took his soon to be record buck, he first saw him about 7:15 a.m. with a doe.

As it has happened to most of us, she lead his buck away.

After a long morning in the stand and then some lunch, Brian made his way back to

Governor, Labor Secretary Solis announce $400 million from recovery act for passenger rail in Ohio

CMYK

State, local leaders and rail supporters from across Ohio join in Columbus to celebrate at the statehouse Ohio Governor Ted Strickland joined U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, state and local officials, and rail supporters from across the state to announce today that Ohio has received $400 million in federal stimulus resources to invest in passenger rail.

With the goal of launching service by 2012, the 3C “Quick Start” Passenger Rail Corridor will connect Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati with daily train service for the first time in nearly 40 years.

The announcement comes as a result of months of farreaching public and private support among Ohioans for intercity passenger rail.

“With today’s historic announcement by President Obama, Ohio takes a major step toward modernizing our state’s transportation infrastructure,” said Governor Strickland. “The 3C Corridor will create economic development opportunities and serve as a model of environmental sustainability. Most importantly, it will put thousands of Ohioans to work over the next few years.”

“I’d like to acknowledge all of the members of Ohio’s congressional delegation who had the courage to support the Recovery Act – the federal stimulus bill – without which this historic announcement would not have been possible,” Strickland added. “Today, we are seeing the beginning of a new way to travel, and this new way to travel has left the station and is bound for Ohio.”

Ohio’s 3C “Quick Start” Plan has drawn unprecedented support from citizens and community leaders, business owners and organized labor, sports teams and universities.

In October 2009, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) submitted a strong application seeking a share of $8 billion in federal passenger rail funds made available under the American Recovery

and Reinvestment Act. “Based on ridership, the 3C ‘Quick Start’ service would rank as the nation’s 12th largest generator of passenger rail traffic in its inaugural year,” said ODOT Director Jolene M. Molitoris. “At the same time, we will work with Amtrak to strengthen Ohio’s existing service connecting Cleveland, Toledo, and Cincinnati with Chicago, Pittsburgh and the East Coast.”

The application detailed the state’s plans for investing, constructing, and operating a passenger rail service corridor that would serve an estimated 478,000 passengers in its first year of operation - based on projections by Amtrak, the nation’s largest passenger rail service provider.

“Connecting Ohio’s largest cites through rail will create immediate jobs and set our state on a path towards longterm economic growth,” Senator Sherrod Brown said.

“Rail is good for business and good for our cities. For too long, our government passed tax cuts for the rich and giveaways to special interests. An investment in rail infrastructure is an investment in Main Street.”

Nearly six million Ohioans live within 15 miles of the 250mile long 3C Corridor, a federally-designated high speed rail corridor and one of the most densely-populated corridors in the U.S. currently without passenger rail service.

"The 3C Corridor will bring sustainable, quality jobs to Northeast Ohio and high speed connectivity throughout the state," said Rep. Marcia L. Fudge. “I was proud to vote for the Recovery Act, which funded this economic development and transportation project."

Ohio’s initial application requested $564 million in federal stimulus funds - a figure from a fall 2009 Amtrak study that provided estimates for needed investments in infrastructure, station stops and equipment. Those costs includ-

ed a 30 percent construction cost contingency.

ODOT and ORDC will work with Amtrak and the state’s freight railroads to quantify final investments needed to maximize capacity for fluid freight and passenger operations, and safely provide passenger service at speeds of up to 79 miles per hour.

“This Recovery Act funding is not only going to create jobs in Ohio, but it is a critical step in building the economy of America’s future. We know that putting resources into transportation, infrastructure and clean energy projects will help to move our nation forward, revitalize manufacturing and strengthen the middle class,” said Rep. Steve Driehaus. “This smart investment is going to help speed our recovery, and put Cincinnati and Ohio on the path toward future growth and prosperity.”

In addition, the state will work with local communities on the costs and needs of eight station stops, including locations in downtown Cleveland, southwest Cleveland, downtown Columbus, downtown Dayton, the Cincinnati suburb of Sharonville, and Cincinnati, as well as in Springfield and near the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Riverside.

“I was so proud to work with the Governor, administration and a bipartisan delegation to get the President on board with funding that is crucial for a stronger economy in Ohio,” Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy.

“We are the best place in the country for rail service restoration, expansion, and high speed manufacturing, and have a labor force that is just right for these types of investments in our infrastructure.”

Based on the same Amtrak study, ODOT estimates that annual revenue - including ticket sales - from the initial 3C “Quick Start” service will be approximately $12.2 million each year. The study then estimates that Ohio would need to

identify approximately $17 million in additional annual state investment.

ODOT is identifying nongas-tax dollars for these operating funds, including existing federal grant dollars, revenues from advertising on the train, and innovative public-private partnerships.

“Today’s announcement is welcome news. This important funding will strengthen Ohio’s rail system, create jobs, boost Ohio’s economy and create an additional mode of transportation for more than six million Ohioans,” said Rep. Betty Sutton. “This project will provide an alternative option for those who commute to other parts of the state for work, and will give Ohioans an opportunity to travel and visit other parts of Ohio. Over time, it will spur economic development, which will create additional jobs. The enhanced rail system will also reduce our dependence on foreign oil and improve our environment.”

“I welcome Secretary Solis and this new investment in Ohio. Our location and transportation infrastructure make Ohio one of the most competitive manufacturing centers in

America, and this can only help.

Joining our cities together is good for our economy, good for our environment and good for Ohio,” said Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

"This rail corridor is long overdue. I want to commend Governor Strickland for his tremendously bold leadership on this project,” said Rep. Tim Ryan. “Now is not the time for half-measures. This project will have a transformative effect for generations to come.

I also look forward to the addition of a Cleveland-Mahoning Valley-Pittsburgh corridor as the next step in rail improvement.”

The $400 million stimulus investment in the 3C “Quick Start” is expected to result in at least 255 immediate construction jobs over a two year period. According to job-creation formulas by the U.S. Department of Commerce, this investment in Ohio will generate at least 8,000 spin-off jobs and could add at least $1.2 billion to Ohio’s economy.

his stand for his evening hunt.

Around 3:30 things started to get interesting. The big buck came out at about 250 yards along the field’s edge. The buck moved in Brian’s direction and came within 80 yards to give Brian his shot, the smoke cleared, and then the buck traveled about 100 yards and went down. At this time Brian was watching the deer anxiously and waiting. He said he felt like someone had a hand on his shoulder helping him to be calm. Brian understands this is a great trophy, but he told me that the greatest trophy of all is the many memories he has of hunting over the many years past with his dad and uncle and other family and friends on his grandfather’s farm. I did have a chance to talk to Brian’s wife and, although she doesn’t hunt, she is very happy for Brian.

As the scoring got started Mike Wendel, David Haney, and Ron Perrine of the Buckeye Big Bucks Club started to measure the massive rack on Brian’s buck.

Mike, David, and Ron are certified scorers for the BBBC and will be giving the official score for the record book.

When they were finished Gary Trent, the president of the BBBC, announced the final score of the buck to be 232 5/8, certifying it as a new state record, being the largest non-typical rack ever taken with a muzzleloader in Ohio.

The 35 1/8 left main beam is a Boone and Crockett largest ever recorded and the right main beam was close behind at 34 1/8. Marty Murphy of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association stated that the score will be recognized as the largest ever in Ohio according to the Associations Longhunter Big Game Record Book. The buck will also be a record in the World Classics in the men’s muzzle loading category according to Dan Stapleton. The World Classics scoring system does not include deductions and the main beam outside spread measurement is added. This would make the score for the Stephen’s buck at 252 0/8.

The Brian Stephen’s buck will be added to the list of record bucks that have been taken in Ohio over the past few years. Some of the others on that list are the Beatty buck taken in Greene County in 2000. The Brad Jerman buck harvested in 2004 in Warren County. And, don’t forget the buck taken in Adams County

by Jonathan Schmucker in 2006. Also, in the same year, the Metzner buck was harvested by Justin Metzner.

After seeing such great bucks coming from Ohio over the past few years, you just know Ohio has become one of the BIG BUCK STATES.
