Teen Admits to Sexually MPD Performs Drug Bust Assaulting another Teen After waiting eight long agonizing months, a female teenage rape victim stood before a judge in Adams County Court Tuesday, June 18 and confronted the boy who admitted to sexually assaulting her.

The male teen admitted Tuesday that he and another boy came to the girl's house in October while her parents were gone and he sexually assaulted her.

The teen, who is now 18 years old, could have been put in jail until he was 21,

but instead he will serve three years on probation. He must also go through counseling and was ordered to stay away from the victim.

He must also register as a Tier 1 Sex Offender once a year for the next 15 years.

The second teen involved in the case also entered into a plea agreement and the charges against him were reduced to persistent disorderly conduct. He will also be put on probation.

Ballot Board Certifies Ohio Cannabis Rights Amendment as Single Issue The Ohio Ballot Board, chaired by Secretary of State Jon Husted, determined that a proposed constitutional amendment regarding cannabis consists of one issue.

Petitioners will now need to collect 385,253 signatures, which is equal to 10 percent of the total vote cast for governor in 2010, to place the measure on the ballot. As part of the total number of signatures needed, petitioners must also collect signatures from at least 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, and within each of those counties, collect enough signatures equal to five percent of the total vote cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election, 2010.

Members of the Ballot Board include: Secretary Husted, chair, Mark Griffin, vice chair, Senate President Keith Faber, State Senator Nina Turner and William N. Morgan. Ballot Board meetings are open to the

public.

It is proposed for those who are diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition, to use, possess, produce and acquire the genus Cannabis or commonly known as Marijuana or Medical Marijuana. It is for therapeutic use in amounts sufficient to meet their thera-

peutic needs.

179 part petitions was presented to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on May 7, for his review from Ohio electors or commonly known as voters. A proposed summary of the Amendment to the Ohio Constitution was also presents.

Bobcat Sightings in Ohio on the Rise

Verified sightings of threatened species increase for third straight year The number of verified bobcat sightings in Ohio in 2012 increased to 169, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). This marks the third consecutive year that more 100 verified bobcat sightings were recognized in the state.

ODNR Division of Wildlife biologists verified 136 and 106 sightings in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of the 169 verified sightings in 2012, most occurred in Noble County and the counties immediately adjacent. Overall, observers in 31 counties reported a verified bobcat sighting.

To report a bobcat sighting, call 800-WILDLIFE (9453543) or email wildInfo@dnr.state.oh.us.

Sightings are verified by ODNR Division of Wildlife biologists and have increased steadily during the last decade. The bobcat is listed as a threatened species in Ohio and is protected by state law.

Bobcats once roamed across Ohio, but they were extirpated around 1850 as more people settled within the state. A handful of unverified bobcat sightings in the 1960s announced the return of the species.

Bobcat sightings have been verified in 43 counties since 1970, with unverified sightings in 84 counties.

A bobcat may be verified with photographs of the animal or its tracks; road kill recovery and sightings by ODNR Division of Wildlife personnel; and encounters through incidental trappings, which are followed by the animal’s release.

The number of bobcat

sightings confirmed from trail cameras has increased dramatically since 2006, and most verified sightings in 2012 were documented by these cameras.

The ODNR Division of Wildlife uses technology to clarify estimated bobcat populations because it is rare to see them in the wild. To help them with their research, biologists use remote cameras and scent stations.

GPS radio collars are used to track the location of bobcats after catching and releasing them.

Efforts to learn more about the locations of bobcats are supported by the Endangered Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund.

Ohioans give donations to this fund through the state income tax check-off program and by purchasing cardinal license plates.

People may also make donations at wildohio.com.

Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, In my Opinion, Mothapalooza was a great educational event to utilize the natural beauty and diversity of Ohio's Shawnee region. It was a first, largest gathering of like-minded moth-ers, a model for others.

Some 120 participants from numerous Ohio counties, eight other states, and Canada came to Shawnee State Park Resort June 14-16, 2013. There were field

trips to parks, forests, and nature preserves of Adams and Scioto counties, workshops, evening speakers, exhibits, vendors and moth-ing light stations until midnight.

ODNR's Division of Wildlife and the Midwest Native Plant Society were primary sponsors. Many experts volunteered. www.mothapalooza.org for more.

Remains of Satterfield Park Fund go to Humane Society The Humane Society of Adams County recently received an extraordinary gift of much-needed funds from the family of Robert E. and Martha J. Satterfield.

Sisters Kathy Bernon of Columbus, Ohio, Margaret Satterfield Moss of Lenexa, Kansas, and Caroline Satterfield of West Union, Ohio (pictured with Humane Society Treasurer Mike McCann) donated the money, which totaled $4,176.16, from the now-inactive Satterfield Park Fund.

The donated funds will be put toward the purchase of necessities for homeless dogs and homeless cats. A portion of the donation will also be used to engrave two memorial bricks to be displayed near the front entrance to the new animals shelter.

The originally-planned Martha J. Satterfield Memorial Park would have

been located on State Route 247, on the northern edge of West Union, near the Timber Ridge apartment complex. The 12acre park property was donated in 2004 by the late Robert Satterfield in memory of his wife, Martha, a former long-time Girl Scout leader and active member of the community. Though much of the money had already been secured for the completion of the park through private donations and a large Ohio Department of Natural Resources NatureWorks grant, the project was abandoned in 2008. All donations received by the Humane Society are truly appreciated and are used for the local animal population of Adams County. For more information about the Humane Society, please contact them at (937) 5872727.

Tobacco Issues

With the May and early June weather, some of the tobacco crop has not yet been transplanted into the field. The later crop could increase chance of disease and insect damage.

Take pre-cautions now.

I know that quite a bit of the tobacco has already been set by the time you read this, but for those who have not transplanted, you may be at the greatest risk. Black shank has already been found in some Kentucky patches this year. Later crops are normally at more risk for some insect issues and other diseases, too.

In recent years, there have been some new products made available to tobacco producers. These are products that are like insurance to a producer.

They are not free, but they could free you up later.

Products that can be put into the setter water include the fungicide Ridomil for black shank and other plant diseases, the insecticides Admire or a generic equivalent for aphids, and Coragen for bud worms and tobacco

trials throughout Kentucky and Southern Ohio in recent years.

For those of you who were able to find soil conditions favorable for setting tobacco between the rains, you may be seeing some issues of concern.

Politics & Government Urges Congress, Obama Administration New Plan to Prevent Illegal Ohio House to Address Veterans’ Benefits Delays Resale of Stolen Phones With cell phone theft on the rise – endangering Ohioans and consuming critical police department resources and time a plan has been announced to deter theft by preventing the illegal resale of stolen phones. He was joined by Jason Simon, Youngstown City Police Captain and Commander of the Services Division. He was also joined by Cassie Mosure-Oles, a recent Youngstown State graduate who had her phone stolen while cheerleading a Penguins game at the Beeghly Center.

Too many Mahoning Valley citizens have been targeted for crime, just because of the phone in their pocket or purse.

“With so much of this criminal activity fueled by the black market, this legislation will crack down on cell phone theft and impose severe consequences on thieves who will think twice before trying to make a quick buck.

As of last year, about 87 percent of Americans own a cell phone – about 45 percent are smart phones, according to the Pew Research Center. A stolen iPhone can cost up to $849.00 to replace.

Criminals often target cell phones because they can easily be resold on the

black market. Prior to the establishment of the database, most carriers only deactivated a stolen cell phone’s SIM card rather than the entire phone.

While carriers entered into an agreement with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to

Senator Sherrod Brown D-Ohio

launch a database of unique cell phone identification numbers to allow stolen cell phones to be entirely deactivated, some criminals are tampering with those unique identifiers– known as International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers – to avoid detection.

As technology becomes more advanced and more a part of our everyday lives, we must utilize every tool at our disposal to ensure that criminals who violate the laws are punished appropriately.

Cellular devices are mainstream in our society and are used universally in personal and business applications. Those criminals who disrupt the lives of others using that technology for

malevolent purposes should be held strictly accountable because such crimes directly affect the victim in numerous ways, both tangible and intangible.

The Mobile Device Theft Deterrence Act of 2013 would impose criminal penalties of up to five years for criminals who tamper with cell phones IMEIs in order to circumvent the database. The bill would provide exceptions for legal alterations made to repair or refurbish phones or to protect the privacy and security of the end user. The bill has the full support of CTIA, the Wireless Association, which joined forces with the FCC to implement the national database.

“It was such a horrible feeling to know someone had my phone,” MosureOles said. “I also felt extremely violated knowing some stranger had all my information that was private in my phone. I did everything on my phone including email, looking up information, texting friends and family, and calling. I wasn’t able to do that anymore, and it was such an inconvenience. Having my phone stolen was a horrible experience that I would never want anyone else to go through.”

Your Tax Dollars...Down The Drain IRS spent $50 million on conferences over 3 years The first of a monthly series highlighting Washington’s wasteful spending during a time of record debt and deficits.

A new audit by the Treasury Department’s Inspector General discovered that the IRS spent nearly $50 million to hold at least 220 employee conferences between 2010 and 2012.

The abusive overreach of IRS government workers unfairly targeting certain groups for their political beliefs has further weakened our trust and confidence in our government.

On top of this, we recently learned that the IRS also recklessly spent $50 million on elaborate employee conferences. Rather than throwing taxpayer dollars down the drain on expensive guest speakers, elaborate videos of staffers taking line dancing lessons, travel mugs, and lanyards – we should be investing in programs that work and getting rid of duplicative and wasteful programs that are driving up Washington’s spending and deficits and weighing down

future generations.

In an effort to help military veterans gain access to critical treatment, the Ohio House of Representatives today passed House Concurrent Resolution 21, which urges President Barack Obama, the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Congress to take prompt action to reduce the processing time for veterans’ disability claims.

Over the past year, the average wait time for a decision regarding a medical claim has increased from two months to more than 260 days. As of April, there were more than 850,000 claims awaiting a decision.

Additionally, from January 2009 to December 2012, the number of veterans waiting more than a year for their disability claims increased by 2,000 percent.

“It is unfortunate and tragic that many of our military heroes who have defended our country are unable to access the treatment they need to live

happy, productive lives,” said Speaker of the Ohio House William G. Batchelder (R-Medina).

“The disability benefits that we provide to these men and women are vital in compensating them for their sacrifice and service.

Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers.

Southeast Ohio Towards the end of the 2012 deer gun season, Wildlife Officer Chris Dodge received an early morning call from the Hocking County Sheriff’s Office (SO) in reference to a poaching incident. At 3:30 a.m. a landowner heard a gunshot near his house and rose to see a truck driving through his field. He quickly left his house to pursue the vehicle and was able to get a license plate number. The Hocking County SO was dispatched and arrived to find tire tracks in the landowner’s field and blood. The deputies used the license plate number to track down the poachers at a nearby residence. The three men involved had been out spotlighting and shot a small deer. Officer Dodge arrived at the residence. The deputies had worked diligently to aid Officer Dodge in obtaining information, seizing the firearm used, and even taking one of the suspects down the road to retrieve the deer that they dumped from their vehicle while being chased by the landowner. Due to the hard work of the officers involved and the cooperation between agencies, the men were convicted of 15 total charges. Two of the charges were for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, and the remaining 13 charges were all wildlife related. The charges included spotlighting, hunting by aid of a motor vehicle, hunting without permission, shooting from the roadway, and hunting deer after hours. All men involved

are now under a three year revocation of hunting privileges, must take a hunter education course, one year of probation, 60 days of suspended jail time, and ordered to pay nearly $1,500 in fines and court costs.

Southwest Ohio Wildlife Officer Brad Turner was working fishing enforcement at Acton Lake in Preble and Butler counties.

Officer Turner was watching a man and woman fish, while another man sat on the rocks, never touching a pole. After about an hour, Officer Turner watched the man sitting on the rocks look all around him, and then pick up a pole and start to fish. Officer Turner watched the three of them fish for another hour. When they started to leave, one of the men left his bottle on the picnic table.

Officer Turner stopped them to check their fishing licenses.

The woman and one of the men handed Officer Turner their fishing license. Officer Turner then asked to see the other man’s fishing license. He told Turner that he wasn’t fishing. The other man spoke up and said that he didn’t even know how to fish. Turner then told the two men that for not knowing how to fish, the man had done a good job, since he caught two fish. The man without a fishing license hung

his head and told Officer Turner he didn’t have a fishing license. Officer Turner asked the man that left the bottle why he didn’t pick up his bottle.

The man said he forgot it. The two men were given one summons each: one for fishing without a license and he paid $145.00 to the Court, and the other man for littering who paid $165 to the Court.

Central Ohio In late April 2013, State Wildlife Officer Jeff Tipton, assigned to Champaign County, received a call from a concerned citizen about a man that was catching and keeping largemouth bass that were in the "slot limit" and possibly more over the limit than he was allowed. The citizen gave a description of the car, a license plate number, and said that the man was fishing from a kayak. He also told Officer Tipton that the man was keeping the fish in a cooler, with an aerator, in the trunk of his car.

He said that he had been doing it the day before and was back at it again. He said that he had informed the man the day before about the regulation, but believed that he had disregarded the warning. Tipton was nearby and able to respond quickly. He located the car and could see a man on a kayak, which was obviously bass fishing. Not long after, the man in the kayak paddled back to his car. Officer Tipton contacted him, checked his fishing license, and asked about the fish in his car. After some conversation, the man showed him the cooler located in the trunk. In the cooler contained water, an aerator and two 20+ inch Largemouth Bass. The man stated that he was planning to take them home to stock his own pond.

The man was issued a citation and eventually paid a fine in the amount of $175.00. The extra bass was safely returned to the lake.

Northeast Ohio In late winter, State Wildlife Officer Jesse Janosik, assigned to Cuyahoga County, received information from the Parma Police Department that they had arrested one of their residents for discharging a firearm inside the city limits. A Parma Police Officer indicated that they had received reports of shots fired and when they responded to the scene they located an individual carrying a .22 caliber rifle standing next to a deer carcass. Officer Janosik and Wildlife Investigator Brian Keyser responded. It was later discovered that the suspect had been previously convicted of four deer violations. He was charged with the offense, convicted in the Parma Municipal Court and ordered to pay over $300. in fines and costs. His rifle was forfeited to the Division of Wildlife and he lost his hunting privileges for three years. He also received four years of probation.

What’s the right answer to someone calling you on the phone and asking you this question? “Can I please have your social security number?”

The answer should be, “No!” Very few times are you legally required to give out this number to anyone. If you just automatically give it to them, you may be falling into an identity theft trap. If someone calls you on the phone or comes to your door offering you a deal that you know is too good to be true, nine times out of ten – IT IS! The longer they can keep talking to you, the better chance they have to get information you really don’t want them to have or to talk you into something that you really don’t want to do. Be smart! Don’t be scammed!

Get plenty of calcium.

Unless you are drinking two full glasses of milk at day, you could be deficient in calcium. Surveys show that most older Americans do not get the recommended amount in their daily diet.

This mineral is needed to maintain strong bones and to prevent and treat osteoporosis as well as other vital roles. The normal function

of nerves, muscles, enzymes and blood clotting all require calcium.

According to research data, calcium is beneficial in preventing and treating high blood pressure and reducing the risk of colon cancer. Good sources of calcium include: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream; leafy, green vegetables such as broccoli, kale and collards; fish that are eating with their bones such as canned sardines and salmon.

Note: Since Vitamin D is needed to aid the absorption of calcium, taking a once-daily supplement is usually recommended.

JUST A THOUGHT: Today, fill your cup of life with sunshine and laughter. ~Dodinsky

The pattern I am featuring today is called Birds in the Air or Geese over the water (if set on point). This pattern has been documented in the civil war era and is an option block for The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge. It is made on one large triange and several sets of half square triangles. Personally, when I am making my own patterns, I will make all of the half square units and triangles and make the pieced half. Once I have it made I will measure the section and cut the print other piece the same size. That way, seam allowances do not affect the finished block. My grandmother had one of these all in blues and white. It was simply beautiful. Good luck and remember to write us with questions.

I will try to get a master list of the blocks in the challenge published soon. If you have any questions, please write to Miss Needles.

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I found an old pattern at a flea market in a magazine to make a toilet paper roll cover and it had a flower on top. I would like to make the flower but in a much smaller version to add to a head band for my daughter to wear. Any suggestions on what to do with the pattern? Sign me Amy Dear Amy: There are a few tricks to making a pattern smaller. You can use a smallercrochet hook, thinner yarn or use crochet cotton thread or you can experiment by seeing if you can reduce the size of the center of the flower to make the rest smaller.

Pictured: Marsha McCormick, the SNAP-Ed Program Assistant in Adams County, partners with local agencies to provide SNAP-Ed nutrition education programs for adults and youth in Adams County.

Ohio State University (OSU) Extension’s Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is a popular, free nutrition education program serving lowincome adults and youth in Ohio. This program is funded by the Food Nutrition Service (FNS) which is a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In the state of Ohio, FNP is administered through a partnership between the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (DJFS) and Ohio State University Extension. Our goal is to improve, within a limited budget, the likelihood of families and individuals who are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) to make healthy food choices and to choose active lifestyles.

Today, we announce, and make formal, the name change. FNP is now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education, or SNAP-Ed. In

I have seen the look of large and small made with Crochet because it was easier to change hooks and needles to give a real inconsistant stitch size look.

Try it in crochet first and see if that does the trick.

Adams County, Marsha McCormick (formerly FNP Program Assistant) is now known as our SNAP-Ed Program Assistant. For information on SNAP-Ed classes in Adams County, call Marsha at 937-544-2339.

How is SNAP-Ed designed and delivered?

SNAP-Ed programming focuses on: (1) Diet Quality including promotion of Physical Activity, (2) Food Safety, and (3) Food Resource Management. The dissemination of nutrition education is mainly achieved by classes which are scheduled throughout Ohio and in 64 counties.

The format of the classes varies from: (1) a series of sessions to (2) a single session.

The delivery of educational programs at the county level is done by the SNAP-Ed Program Assistant who is assisted and supervised by the Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension Educator, Amy Habig. Programs that qualify must have at least 50% of participants receiving or eligible to receive SNAP benefits and can include adult education and job training sites, adult rehabilitation centers, churches and faith based locations, community centers, elderly service sites, emergency food assistance sites, OSU Extension offices, famers markets, DJFS offices, Head Start Program sites, homes, libraries, Community

Health Centers, public housing, schools, shelters, WIC and worksites. We recruit participants at locations where they live, work and do business.

We use flyers, public service announcements, and agency workers to tell people about SNAP-Ed and about SNAP-Ed programs.

Participants learn about SNAP-Ed from the social workers at the county’s DJFS office. Other participants learn about SNAPEd from other agencies and organizations who partner with OSU Extension for nutrition education programs.

The success of SNAP-Ed is linked to the partnership with local agencies and organizations whose outreach includes low-income people.

What do participants learn?

Program material is evidence-based and outcomebased. It is presented in an interactive and engaging style. Participants who attend multiple sessions will learn to select fruits and vegetables, whole grain, and low-fat dairy products for a healthy diet; to use limited resources to plan, purchase and prepare food for the family; to be physically active every day; and to store and handle food so it is safe to eat.
