Dennis Jolly, of West Union, has been singing in a gospel group called The Gibbons Family for nearly six years. His part in the group is singing Baritone. His wife Ellen, travels with the group and manages the product table at different concerts and events. The Owner and Manager of the group Dale Gibbons sings Lead and his wife Gayle sings the Alto part. The Gibbons reside in Dayton, where the group is based from. Recently, the group learned that their Nationally Radio Released song made the prestigious Chart in the Singing News which is a widely known Southern Gospel Music Magazine. The song is called 'Between Me and the Storm' and written by Kyla Rowland, of My Abby Publishing/BMI. When asked how the song came about Dale said, "I had an old CD by Kyla Rowland’s brother who sings and had recorded this song. We were looking for songs to record. Somehow, I grabbed this CD. I was driving down the road listening to CD's and put this one in. I scanned over this song and said to myself, it’s a little too slow. I went back to it again and listened to the words and was just overcome with emotion. It just spoke to me and I have found one of the keys to ministering a song to audiences, being first having the song minister to you. It makes it easy to sing. I was actually doing an interview on the radio with my brother in law, Tim Livingston and he asked what are you going to release and I told him we were thinking about 'Between Me and the Storm' and he played the song next. His response was “Man, that’s your song right there”. So we did." The group has released several songs, but this is the first to hit the Singing News charts. We have had several of our songs chart at radio stations across the nation on their top 40, but they didn’t chart nationally until 'Between Me and the Storm'. It debuted at #65 in February and this month in March it is #53 on the Singing News chart. The Singing News Chart is the Top #80 songs in Southern Gospel Music and is released in the magazine each month. The song was voted #25 of the Top 40 Songs of the Year
Pictured Pictured (L/R): Dennis Jolly, Gayle Gibbons and Dayle Gibbons. for 2012 in The Southern Gospel Times which is 100% fan voted charting system. Dale said, "Our group is really excited about our new release, 'Way Too Close' written by Carroll McGruder." The group has recorded at least 15 projects. "We have three Live DVD’s and have recorded two other DVD’s “Live” that included various artists. The three Live recordings, with our first one in Middletown at the Poasttown First Church of God, the second one was at Ashland, Kentucky at the TV studio and the last one was at Greenview Calvary Tabernacle, in Dayton," said Dayle. This group has been in existence for about 10 years, explained Dale. We started out singing a special song occasionally at church. Someone came to visit and heard us sing, invited us to their church and the rest is history. The Gibbons Family will be singing at the 33rd Annual Good Friday Gospel Concert at the West Union High School. Also, singing will be The Lore Family and The Browders. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. The group records with Harvest in Huntington, WV and is represented by the Patterson Music Group.

Adams County Commemorate 150th Anniversary of Morgan’s Raid
Pictured Historic photo of Confederate Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan. Tom Cross, Adams County coordinator for the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail Adams County residents and visitors may have noticed the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail signs along county highways and byways retracing Morgan’s path of destruction through Adams County in 1863. The 32-mile heritage trail across the county
Pictured John H. Morgan Heritage Trail sign going up in Winchester. Pictured (L/R): Mike Swackhammer, Rick Hardin and Danny Welch. is part of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail of Ohio, a 561 mile self-guided driving tour tracing Gen. Morgan’s route through 18 counties in southern and eastern Ohio. 150 years ago on July 13, 1863, General John H.
Morgan and a Confederate cavalry of 2,000 soldiers crossed the Whitewater River at the Ohio-Indiana border near Cincinnati to distract the Union Army from campaigns in Gettysburg and Vicksburg and bring the war to the northern front. Morgan’s men successfully evaded the Union Army until the Battle at Buffington Island, the only Civil War battle to take place in Ohio. On July 26 Morgan finally surrendered when Union soldiers under the command of Major Rue caught up with him and what was left of his raiders near Salineville in Columbiana County. Morgan’s cavalry entered Adams County on the morning of July 15 at Winchester and Eckmansville where they shot a man and pillaged nearby farms, homes and villages for food, supplies and fresh horses. After leaving Winchester on Graces Run Road, Morgan’s men crossed the Harshaville Covered
Bridge and followed Wheat Ridge to Zane’s Trace (St. Rt. 41), tuning north and going through Jacksonville. That night the raiders encamped on the grounds of Wickerham Inn. The following morning Morgan rode into Locust Grove for breakfast. Morgan’s Raiders then turned east and followed Hackleshin Road into Pike County. In Adams County 28 heritage signs are up along the trail Morgan took in 1863, including two interpretive kiosks at Winchester and Locust Grove presenting historical information and local stories about the raid. Across the state over 600 signs and 56 kiosks follow Morgan’s route through Ohio. To commemorate Adams County’s role in Morgan’s historic raid the Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau, the Adams County Historical Society and the Ohio Civil War Trail Commission are proud to announce a unique
three part dedication of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail in Adams County on Monday, July 15. Starting at 1:00 p.m. the dedication begins at Winchester; at 2:45 a dedication of the historically renovated Harshaville Covered Bridge will follow; at 4:00 the dedication ceremony at Locust Grove will conclude the day’s events. Those attending the dedication will be asked to follow the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail to all three dedication sites. Morgan trail dedications are planned all across Ohio with the first one set for July 13 in the village of Harrison. In Adams County the special guest speaker for the dedication will be Lester Horwitz, author of “The Longest Raid”, a historical account of Morgan’s entire raid across three states. Also speaking will be David Mowery of the Ohio Civil War Trail Commission and author of Morgan’s Great
Raid. Other speakers are also included in the dedication. The Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau and the Adams County Historical Society are sponsoring the dedication. For a complete dedication schedule and list of speakers please contact the Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau at (937) 5445639 or email info@adamscountytravel.org. More information on the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail dedication will be made available as details are finalized.

Tips for Prom Night Get the phone numbers of your child’s prom date Inform your child, you expect them to answer their cell phones and texts should you call them. Give Your Kids a Curfew It’s not a trust issue, it’s a safety issue. Remind your child that everyone has a camera - With cameras hidden everywhere, it is so important your child realizes not to behave in public in a way that might cause them shame if it ended up on the Internet. Colleges can take away what they have offered - A college acceptance can be revoked for illegal behavior and for getting expelled from high school. Prom Night is not Vegas. What happens on Prom night could jeopardize their future.

OHSAAPasses Down Regulations on Concussions The Ohio High School Sports Association( OHSAA) is cracking down on "head injuries" that are often concussions, but never determined due to the athlete or the coach dismissing the problem. Many children go through at least one head injury while playing a high school contact sport. New Provisions have been put in place by the OHSAA having the Ohio House Bill 143 passed and signed by Governor John Kasich putting the bill in effect for all 2013 spring players, parents, coaches and officials. Beginning this spring when your child signs up for any sport from 7th grade through 12th the child and parent must sign a contract stating that if the athlete is injured during play and shows any signs of a concussion symptoms including: loss of consciences, headache, dizziness,confusion, or loss of balance the player must be pulled from the game and noted on the score book if one is kept for that sport and if not it is the head coach and athletic directors responsibility to know. The athlete may not return to the game that day. The athlete must be checked out by an appropriate health care professional which now requires it to be a physician or licensed athletic trainer. That physician must write out a written form that the athlete/child may return to the sport they were taken out of. The Form must go on file with the school that the athlete plays for. Brian McCord, Director of Sports Medicine at Adams County Regional Medical Center said, "Within the past two years the OHSAA has really toned up on the concussion injury. What myself and Larry Anderson say
when we look at athletes is after we look at them we tell them they need a physicians clearance to play. Now with the new ruling once there pulled from the game, due to this injury they are out the game. There seems to be a lot of changes regarding this and mostly for the good." All current coaches with current Pupil Activity Program Permits are covered by the new law, but any new coaches will need to take the course online that the CDC or the NFHS offers free of charge. Coaches can go to www.nfhsteam.com or the CDC Heads up Concussion in Youth Sports Online Training at www.cdc.gov/concussion/headsup/onlinetraining to take the free course. According to McCord if an athlete has headache they may need to sit the game. Coaches will be more responsible in this process as well. All Referees certified through Ohio must meet the same regulations as coaches. Any parents or students athletes wanting to check out the new law that comes in effect Friday, April 26, may go to www.healthyohioprogram.org to see the rules regulations and the written form the parent and athlete must sign. The Ohio Prep Sportswriter Association (OPSWA) statewide meeting will be held Wednesday, April 17, in Columbus at the OHSAA office at 11:00 a.m. where OHSAA commissioner Dr. Dan Ross will be speaking on the new law and many other areas of concern for anyone interested in attending. Make sure to RSVP to Tim Stried at tstried@ohsaa.org.

From The Kitchen Of Pat Wylie How to Brew Tea When tea was first brought to America, few people knew how to prepare it. In Salem, Massachusetts it was boiled for a long time. The bitter liquid was drunk without milk or sugar and the leaves were salted and eaten with butter. Always use a tea pot preheated with scalding water. Do not make it in a open cup, because the temperature of the water drops so rapidly in a cup that only a portion of the tea flavor is extracted. Use rapidly-boiling

Statewide Rainbow Trout Releases to Begin More than 98,000 rainbow trout will be released this spring at 63 Ohio public lakes and ponds. The first release will be on Friday, March 1, at Adams Lake in Adams County, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Rainbow trout releases will take place between March 1 and May 3, and the stocking of these public lakes and ponds are excellent opportunities for families to fish together. Fishing for catchable-sized trout is a great way to introduce young people to the outdoors. Rainbow trout are raised at state fish hatcheries and are 10-13 inches before they are released by the ODNR Division of Wildlife. The daily catch limit for inland lakes is five trout. Some locations will feature special angler events, including youth-only fishing, on the day of the scheduled trout release. Contact the near-
est wildlife district office for specific information. Additional information about trout releases is available at wildohio.com or by calling 800-WILDLIFE. Anglers age 16 and older must have an Ohio fishing license to fish state public waters. The 2013-2014 fishing license is available now and is valid through Feb. 28, 2014. An annual resident fishing license costs $19. A one–day fishing license costs $11 for residents and non-residents. The one-day license may also be redeemed for credit toward the purchase of an annual fishing license. Ohio residents born on or before Dec. 31, 1937, may obtain a free fishing license where licenses are sold. Persons age 66 and older who were born on or after Jan. 1, 1938, and have resided in Ohio for the past six months are eligible to purchase the reduced-cost resident senior
license for $10. Sales of fishing licenses along with the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) program continue to fund the operation of the ODNR Division of Wildlife’s fish hatcheries. No state tax dollars are used for this activity. This is a userpay, user-benefit program. The SFR is a partnership between federal and state government, industry and anglers/boaters. When anglers purchase rods, reels, fishing tackle, fish finders and motor boat fuel, they pay an excise tax. The federal government collects these taxes, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service administers and disburses these funds to state fish and wildlife agencies. These funds are used to acquire habitat, produce and stock fish, conduct research and surveys, provide aquatic education to youth and acquire and develop boat accesses.

White House Closed to Tours due to Sequester Congressman Votes Against Continuing Resolution The White House announced public tours of the White House will be cancelled beginning March 9, 2013 until further notice. The announcement comes just weeks before the start of the Spring Break tour season as families in southern and southwest Ohio and across the country will travel to our nation’s capital to witness firsthand the history and landmarks that make this country so great. According to the White House, the suspension is a result of staffing reductions occurring from what is known as “sequestration.” Effective March 1, 2013, sequestration requires all federal agencies and offices
to reduce unnecessary spending in efforts to control our out-of-control deficit crisis. While the White House believes cutting public
U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio), former U.S. Trade Representative and member of the Senate Finance Committee, released the following statement on the Obama Administration’s 2013 trade agenda report: I am pleased that the Administration has finally pledged to work with Congress to pass Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). This was the first Administration since FDR’s to not request crucial negotiating authority. Our competitors have proactively moved to access valuable new markets, putting American
workers at a competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace. I hope the Obama Administration will focus needed resources to
have strategically made alternative spending reductions in anticipation for these cuts to ensure that the U.S. Capitol can remain open and available to you.

This Continuing Resolution perpetuates an unbalanced budget, and allows the federal government to spend more money than it did last year. Congressman Massie voted against H.R. 933, the Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the federal government until September of this year. This Continuing Resolution perpetuates an unbalanced budget, and allows the federal government to spend more money than it did last year. I cannot vote for a bill that funds Obamacare and
keeps the deficit over $1 trillion. This week, Massie along with 29 other members sent a letter to House

Five-Year Farm Bill Brown Outlined Senate Efforts to Pass 2012 Farm Bill that Would Reduce the Deficit by $23 Billion, Discussed Efforts to Boost Economic Development and Job Growth While Reducing the Deficit. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (DOH) renewed his call for a five-year farm bill while addressing the Ohio Farm Bureau in Washington, D.C. today. While outlining the Senate’s efforts to pass a farm bill that would reduce the deficit by $23 billion, Brown also discussed efforts to boost economic development and job growth. Although the Senate-passed a five-year farm bill, the Farm, Food and Jobs Act, the House has failed to act. During the speech, Brown, who is a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, renewed his call for Congress to pass a permanent farm bill. “The primary task before the Agriculture Committees is to write a five-year farm bill—the Senate successfully did this last year and we should be able to do it again,” Brown said. “I look forward to working with the OFBF—and farmers across our state—to advance modern, efficient, and smart farm and food policies while creating jobs and reducing our federal deficit.” In advance of Senate consideration of the 2012 farm bill, Brown took his “Grown in Ohio” Listening Tour around the state to meet directly with farmers, business leaders, and community officials in advance of Senate consideration of the Farm Bill, guiding Brown’s legislative priorities. Below are some of the bills Sen. Brown introduced last year: Protecting Taxpayers while Ensuring a Strong Safety Net for Farmers: The centerpiece of the deficit reduction measures in the bill is the new Ag Risk Coverage (ARC) program, which is based on the bipartisan Aggregate Risk and Revenue Management Act (ARRM) Brown authored with Sen. John Thune (R-SD). This new approach to farm risk management ends the era of fixed payments. These “direct payments” are replaced by a market-based system that relies on current crop-year data, market prices, and actual yields, making payments to farmers only when the market fails. The
locally-grown food. Many of these provisions were included in the farm bill, including: a stronger crop insurance program for specialty crops and organic agriculture; an improved farmers market program that would help boost infrastructure and aggregation facilities; as well as exploring the use of new technologies for Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) at farmers markets and other direct retail outlets. Expanding Access to Broadband for Rural Communities: Brown also introduced legislation, the Connecting Rural America Act, that would strengthen existing USDA programs that provide for the construction, improvement, and acquisition of facilities Senator and equipment to provide S h e r r o d broadband service to underserved, rural comBrown munities. This legislation D-Ohio was included in the Senate farm bill which would reauthorize the existing Rural Broadband Loan As incorporated into the Program and add a grant comSenate-passed bill, changes to ponent to the program to target the farm safety net and other funds to the small towns and farm bill programs would save rural communities that need it more than $23 billion by end- most.

Senate’s bipartisan 2012 farm bill represents the most significant reform of American agriculture policy in decades. Brown has been working to reform the farm safety net since starting in the Senate in 2006. In the 2008 farm bill he worked to include the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program after hearing from a Henry County farmer who attended a roundtable Brown convened. ARRM builds on the ACRE program and continues this work towards a market-based safety net by eliminating fixed-price support programs, reducing overlap with crop insurance, simplifying application and administrative processes, and saving billions of taxpayer dollars.

I have had three pesticide re-certification classes in the past month. Unfortunately there are still several people who have a license that will expire at the end of this month. The forms have been sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for all who have recently attended one of the previous programs. In just a few days I will hopefully have a printout for all of those who have not yet attended a class. At that time, I will attempt to contact all on that list. However, as I have stated before, there have been a few people who were somehow dropped from the records at ODA. Check your license to make sure when your expiration date is. There will be another class offered on March 18 in Clinton County. I have scheduled one on March 29 in the Gateway Center of Southern State Community College in Fincastle. This is preregistration only. If no one signs up, the classes may be cancelled. You must register by March 22 for the March 29 program by calling the Brown Co. Extension Office at (937) 378-6716 and ask for Cindy.

Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southwest Ohio While working raccoon hunters in Brown County, Wildlife Officer’s Schock and Kiebel found a truck with dog boxes in the back. While waiting to hear the dogs bay they spotted a head lamp coming through the woods. When they made contact with the three individuals one had two dogs on a leash and the other was carrying a gun. Neither the guy that owned the dogs or the man with the gun had a furtakers permit. Both men were cited for hunting furbearing animals without a fur-takers permit and each paid $132 in fines and court costs. Northwest Ohio Back in October 2011 State Wildlife Officer Josh Zientek who is assigned to Huron County had received some information from a concerned sportsman. The man had taken the time to call the 1-800POACHER hotline and provided detailed information on two suspects who had been spotlighting and shooting deer at all hours of the night. Officer Zientek investigated the report and was able to link these two suspects to multiple wildlife violations that had occurred in both Huron and Richland counties. After a lengthy investigation, Officer Zientek located the two suspects and determined that they had been driving around Huron and Richland counties, killing, and attempting to kill, multiple deer with a 20 gauge shotgun aided by a spotlight. The two suspects were recently found guilty in the Shelby Municipal Court and were ordered to pay $950 in fines, $500 in restitution, $352 in court costs, and forfeiture of their 20 gauge shotgun. While on patrol near Niagara reef in the western basin of Lake Erie, State Wildlife Investigator Gary Manley and State Wildlife Officer Tim Rourke observed two Indiana anglers trolling with nine fishing rods, five rods more than the two men were allowed. As the officers approached the boat, the defendants began reeling in some of their lines. The officers then asked the men to reel in all of the lines and put the boat in neutral. Officer Rourke boarded the vessel and counted the number of walleye in the cooler. There were 12 walleye of legal size.
After further inspection of the vessel, Rourke discovered three undersized walleye in a plastic trash container, one of which was filleted. The two anglers received seven summonses. The Ottawa County Municipal Court allowed both anglers to waive the charges
instead of appearing, and they were ordered to pay $417 including court costs. Northeast Ohio While patrolling in the area of Mohican State Forest during the statewide deer muzzleloader season, State Wildlife Officer Brennan Earick observed several individuals hunting on private property adjacent to the forest acting suspicious. He contacted the group of hunters and discovered that all seven individuals had valid hunting licenses and deer tags. Officer Earick then left the area and drove around the block. When he returned to the site where he had contacted the group of hunters he observed an individual walking quickly across a large field toward a residence. Officer Earick contacted the man before he had reached his destination and asked to see his hunting license and deer perNOTICE Resolution 2013-2 authorizing the village of West Union to file an application to the State of Ohio to participate in the local government innovation Fund Program and Declaring an Emergency. The remainder of this resolution may be viewed or copy obtained at the Village Clerk's Office at 33 Logans Lane, West Union, Ohio 45693. 3/5, 3/12
mit. Unfortunately, the man was unable to produce either and was cited. He appeared in Ashland Municipal Court where he was convicted of both offenses. The judge ordered the man to pay over $474.00 in fines and court costs and suspended his hunting privileges for one year. One evening in November, Wildlife Officer Aaron Brown received a phone call from a local Summit County police department. They had responded to a residence where two individuals were fighting and discovered blood in the alley way and in the bed of one individual’s pickup truck. They also found what appeared to be deer entrails. Officer Brown arrived on scene shortly thereafter and determined that the men had butchered a deer in the garage and had failed to check the animal. They also dumped the deer hide on a nearby road. Both men were charged with the possession of an untagged deer and one individual was cited for litter. Both men were convicted in court. One individual failed to appear for sentencing and currently has a warrant for his arrest. The other individual was ordered to pay $750.00 in fines and restitution. He also received a one year license revocation and he must complete a community service program. OIL BID

Commissioners Proclaim "Cowboy" Copas Remembrance
In honor of the upcoming St Patricks day, we are featuring the Irish Chain quilt block with shamrock. The "Chain" that is formed when the blocks are set together are appliqued into the corner of the quilt blocks and the shamrock is appliqued into the center. The quilt is traditionally made with 12 inch blocks. The picture of the quilt is a quilt made by my mother as a gift.
Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I am curious, is there a difference in the expensive needles and the cheap ones? Signed Thrifty Dear Thrifty: Yes, sometimes there is a huge difference and quality and sometimes there is not. It really depends on what you are going to do with the needle. If you are simply mending a seam, the cheap are fine. If you are hand quilting or doing a lot of sewing that is tedious or the needles is going to get many hours
of use, then the cheaper bend more and are a waste of money. I don't mind using the cheap ones to carry for emergencies but for good hand embroidery or quilting you want a needle that will not been or dull too soon. Dear Miss Needles: Any suggestions on an easier way to thread my sewing machine needle? Signed Heaven Help Me Dear HHM: I sometimes struggle with this myself. I have used the little needle threaders
that come with sewing kits and they work most of the time. I even bought new glasses (thank you Brenda and Dr. Fannin) and it has helped some. There are sewing machines that have automatic needle threadders. I had a friend who used a mirror like the little ones dentists use so she could see it better. I am kindof stumped. Readers, any suggestions? Please e-mail them to dearmissneedles@yahoo.com or write to me at The Informer.

Manchester's FEMA Mitigated Properties will be Gardens
Mayor Troy Jolly I am pleased to announce that the Council voted on April 17, 2012 to allow Karma Points, managed by Beth Pirtle-Frazer, to work with residents to begin gardening projects on these FEMA Mitigated Properties. I have said many times, "We are a Village Government not Real Estate Brokers."
Unfortunately we have these Mitigated Properties, but this program I believe is in the best interest of the village and our residents. According to FEMA regulations there is nothing we can do with these properties other than mow them and place gardens on them. After I came into office, one of the administration’s goals was to find a use for these properties that would benefit people throughout the village. Karma Points is developing collaborations with village residents, the Manchester Local School District’s Agriculture Classes, the Manchester Area Neighborhood Association and other community organizations. The Manchester Food Pantry will also benefit from

By Sylvia Baker, Co-leader of Loose Thread Quilters Loose Thread Quilters and the Peebles Public Library are celebrating National Quilting Month with a display of quilts in the library. There are so many talented quilters in our area and they are gracious to share their handiwork in this way. The quilts represent a wide range of methods, hand and machine piecing, machine applique, needle turn applique, paper piecing, hand and machine quilting, using a photo for a memory quilt, salute to quilt barns, and seasonal designs. This is a very busy group of ladies who are serious about keeping traditional quilt making alive while also incorporating modern day techniques in many of their projects. The group is currently making quilts for the Wilson’s Children’s Home. Plans for the second annual quilt show are also in the works with the date being April 20, 2013. The quilters and the library hope you take time to enjoy this display. Watch for further notices about the upcoming quilt show. Loose Thread Quilters meet the first and third Thursdays of the month at the Peebles United Methodist Church from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Visitors and aspiring quilters are welcome.
