Access of Narcan to Area Man Dies I-71 Crash Expand Addicts Friends and Family Authorities believe Alcohol and speed contributed to the motorcycle crash.

The southbound lanes of I-71 in downtown Cincinnati, was closed Sunday evening, June 28, due to a fatal motorcycle crash inside the Lytle Tunnel.

Investigators say Zachary Puckett, 29, of Sinking Springs, was killed in the crash Sunday night in the tunnel.

Authories say he sped up to pass another motorcycle that he was riding with when he lost control of his motorcycle, hit a curb inside the tunnel and then a guardrail just outside the tunnel.

Puckett was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Authorities believe both speed and alcohol played a part.

The southbound lanes of I-71 were closed for more than four hours as investigators reconstructed the scene of the crash.

See page 2 for Puckett's Obituary.

Double Fatal Fire Ruled Accidental "The Ohio Sate Fire Marshall's Office has ruled Monday, June 24, fire as accidental," said Scott Twp. Fire Chief Dave Wheeler. "This was a smouldering hot fire."

The fire origin was found to be in the living room in the middle of the house where a couch and other small items were burnt.

At 2:01 p.m. the Scott Twp. Fire Department and the Seaman Life Squad was dispatched to Main Street (State Route 247) for a structure fire.

Neighbors told firefighters upon arrival that occupants were in the burning home.

Timothy A. Rowley, 57, was located in the bedroom by firefighters. Timothy, was brought outside by firefighters where CPR was immediately began and was taken to Adams County Regional Medical Center by Seaman Life Squad where he later died.

Firefighters also discovered Timothy's daughter Robin Ray Rowley, 21, in a hallway close

the hands of more emergency responders and to law enforcement. House Bill 170 would allow EMT-Basics and EMT-Intermediates to have and administer Narcan to a person who is apparently experiencing an overdose.

Currently, the only emergency responder lawfully allowed to administer Narcan is a paramedic. Additionally, the bill would allow a law enforcement agency to get licensed with the Board of Pharmacy to stock Narcan and dispense it to its law enforcement officers.

“I’ve seen Narcan save lives in the emergency room,” said Rep. Johnson. “But people don’t always make it to the ER. The first people on the scene are often law enforcement and our emergency medical responders. By allowing them to administer this drug in emergency situations, we can help continue our downward trend in drug deaths that we’ve seen in the past year and a half.”

The introduction of this bill comes on the heels of the new numbers released from the Scioto County Coroner’s office which showed direct drug deaths in 2012 down to 15 from 21 in 2011. The 2012 number of direct drug deaths was the lowest number since 2004.

“That’s the kind of trend we want to see,” said Rep. Johnson, who is also a physician.

“By getting Narcan into the hands of more citizens in a smart way, we can do even better.”

HB 170 was referred to the House Health and Aging Committee where it will be considered before being voted on by the entire House of Representatives.

Authors Headline Morgan’s Trail Dedication Pulitzer Prize nominee Lester Horwitz will be speaking at the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail dedication in Winchester on July 15.

Horwitz’s book about Morgan’s Raiders, The Longest Raid of the Civil War, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in history when the book was published in 2001. It is the first complete chronicle of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s famous Indiana-Ohio raid of July 1863 and is the culmination of fifteen years of research and five years of writing.

Horwitz is the first civil war author to be filmed and broadcast nationwide on CSPAN/BookTv. He is currently writing a new Civil War book, After the Raid.

He is a popular speaker, giving talks about Morgan’s Raid to several hundred organizations from coast-to-coast.

Kay Howard of the Ohio Presbyterian Retirement Services said, “I was surprised at how interesting the presentation was. Much of the reason why it held my interest was Horwitz’s fun presentation style, storytelling ability and good humor.” Betty J. Gorin, Kentucky historian said of Horwitz, “He is an exciting speaker with a Daniel Webster presence.”

In 1980 Horwitz purchased a house in Clermont County that was raided by the Confederates during Morgan’s Raid. That captured his imagination and research on Gen. Morgan begin; 20 years later The Longest Raid was published. Horwitz attended the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. He graduated from the Chicago Art Academy. He and his wife, Florence, have three children.

Also speaking at the dedication is Dave Mowery of the Ohio Historical Society Civil War Commission and author of the recently published

House Bill 170 a bipartisan bill joint sponsored with State Representative Terry Johnson (R-) and Michael Stinziano (D). The representatives believes that HB 170 would expand access to Narcan, a drug that reverses the effects of an opiate/opioid overdose in just a few minutes, potentially saving a life.

Narcan is a drug with a high safety profile that is non-abusable and has been utilized by emergency room physicians successfully for years. Paramedics currently use the Narcan in their respective squads responding to overdose subjects.

HB 170 would allow a physician or other medical professional with prescriptive authority to personally furnish Narcan to the family or friends of an addict who is at risk of overdosing. The family member or friend could then administer the Narcan by a squirt in the nose of the person overdosing potentially keeping them alive until medical help arrives.

“This is a critical piece of legislation as we continue to fight Ohio’s drug epidemic,” said Rep. Johnson. “My House Bill 93 shut down pill mills and dried up supplies of prescription opioids, but it did not cure addiction.

We still have all of these addicted people, many of whom are now on heroin. Without access to this lifesaving drug, Narcan, people will die needlessly. There aren’t many bills passed out of Columbus that actually save lives; House Bill 93 is saving lives and so will this one.”

The bill also takes steps to get Narcan into

Lester Horwitz, author of The Longest Raid will be speaking at the Morgan’s Raid Heritage Trail Dedication.

Morgan’s Great Raid: The Remarkable Expedition from Kentucky to Ohio.

Mowery, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio and graduate of the University of Cincinnati, has lived at various points along the path of Morgan’s Raid for most of his life. The American Civil War piqued his interest at an early age. Since childhood, he has researched and visited over 600 American-history-related battlefields across 50 states and eight countries. In 2001 David joined the all-volunteer Ohio Civil War Trail Commission as its Hamilton County representative, but over the years his role expanded to include the final design and historical validation of the entire length of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail of Ohio. With Lora Cahill, he coauthored Morgan’s Raid Across Ohio: The Civil War Guidebook of the John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail. All proceeds from the guidebook go to the Ohio Historical Society for the maintenance of the John Hunt David’s thesis titled “A Study of John Hunt Morgan’s Ohio Raid Route from Reedsville to Creola, Ohio, July 19-22, 1863” (Columbus:

David Mowery, author of the recently published Morgan’s Great Raid will also be speaking at the Morgan’s Raid Heritage Trail Dedication.

Ohio Historical Society, 2011) was the first comprehensive study of Morgan’s whereabouts during the three controversial days following the Battle of Buffington Island.

Since 1995 David has been a member of the Cincinnati Civil War Round Table, for which he has written various papers on Civil War subjects.

He has also served with the Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation, the grass-roots organization working to preserve Ohio’s only Civil War battlefield.

The John Hunt Morgan Heritage Trail is a 561 mile self-guided driving tour tracing Gen. Morgan’s route through 18 counties in southern and southeastern Ohio.

The 32-miles of the Heritage Trail in Adams County will be dedicated on July 15, (150 years after Morgan’s Raid), in a special three part dedication beginning at 1:00 in Winchester, then moving to Harshaville Covered Bridge at 2:45, and then proceeding to Locust Grove at 4:00 for the finial dedication.

Certification testing is underway on the first Passport development engine at GE Aviation’s Peebles Testing Operation in Ohio. The engine began ground testing on June 24 and ran for more than three hours, reaching more than 18,000 lbs. of standard day sea-level takeoff thrust.

“GE Aviation is delivering on program schedule commitments with the Passport engine, and this first full engine test launches an extensive certification testing program with more than 4,000 ground hours and 8,000 cycles of testing anticipated by certification ,” said Brad Mottier, vice president and general manager of GE Aviation’s Business & General Aviation and Integrated Systems division. “The engine surpassed its thrust requirements and performed extremely well. We look forward to further tests to validate the engine’s advanced technologies.”

Eight Passport engines and one core will be involved in the engine certification program. Flight testing on GE’s flying testbed is scheduled for 2014. Engine certification is expected in 2015.

The Passport engine certification program follows three years of validation testing. GE Aviation has conducted validation tests on the fan blisk design, including two fan blade-out rig tests, ingestion tests and a fan aero rig test to demonstrate fan efficiency.

Testing is complete on the third eCore demonstrator, and GE has accumulated more than 300 hours of testing on

eCore demonstrators to date.

GE’s Passport engine is the result of a joint venture between GE, IHI of Japan and TechSpace Aero of Belgium.

The Passport engine for the Bombardier* Global* 7000* and Global 8000* business jets will produce 16,500 pounds of thrust and will incorporate advanced technologies and materials to provide: 8% lower specific fuel consumption than engines in its class; margin to CAEP/6 emissions and to Stage 4 noise regulations; and world-class reliability and support.

Among the new engine technologies are a composite fan case to reduce weight; a unique 52-inch front fan blisk for lower cabin noise and vibration, technologies from GE’s eCore suite to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency, and a unique super finish on the high pressure compressor blades and blisks

for enhanced fuel efficiency.

The Passport's integrated propulsion system from Nexcelle, a joint venture between GE and Safran, will feature a slim-line nacelle with outward opening cowl to reduce weight and drag while allowing for easy maintenance access and high dispatch availability.

GE Aviation, an operating unit of GE (NYSE: GE), is a world-leading provider of jet, turboprop and turboshaft engines, components and integrated systems for commercial, military, business and general aviation aircraft.

Dustin Lynch brings 'Cowboys and Angels' to 2013 Festival of the Bells

By Caitlin Ryan The Highland County Press Year after year, the Festival of the Bells attracts some of country music's most promising rising stars. So much so, in fact, that the annual Fourth of July weekend celebration in historic uptown Hillsboro might be considered the launching pad for up-and-coming musicians.

For 2013, Festival of the Bells committee member and entertainment chairman Rick Williams says another rising star will take center stage at 9:00 p.m.

Saturday, July 6.

The 2013 Festival of the Bells will be July 4-6 in uptown Hillsboro.

Dustin Lynch will bring his hits "Cowboys and Angels" and "She Cranks My Tractor" – which he co-wrote with Brett Beavers and Tim Nichols – to Hillsboro as one of the entertainment headliners of the summer 2013 Festival of the Bells.

"We're very pleased to welcome Dustin Lynch to the festival," Williams told The Highland County Press. "We think the community will really enjoy his music."

Lynch, 28, wrote his first song, "Solitude," at age 15. His debut single "Cowboys and Angels" has been a C&W charttopper this summer.

Visitors to Lynch's website – dustinlynchmusic.com – can read about the young star's emphasis on writing his own music.

"Bluebird Café’s Facebook page says it all: Customers who visit the Nashville songwriters club – instrumental in the development of Garth Brooks, Faith Hill and Kathy Mattea – are expected to keep quiet and listen to the words from some of Music City’s most influential composers.

Listening has an added benefit – it gives the listener a chance to learn, Lynch says.

That’s how Lynch used the Bluebird. He rented an apartment behind its parking lot and literally "walked to the Bluebird several times a week to listen and learn

about the mysterious art of creating songs from some of Nashville’s most important writers."

“I was soaking it in, trying to be a sponge,” Lynch says. “I was mainly trying to hear the story behind the song, how it came about, what it’s really about.

There’s something about understanding the songwriter’s realm.

You get a little more grip on the way it was written and why it was written and how they got to the finished product.”

That education has paid off.

Lynch has signed with Broken Bow Records – the home of Jason Aldean.

In keeping with the Festival of the Bells' tradition of attracting country music's rising stars, Lynch is among those considered for the Horizon Award, according to Williams.

"We won't know that until October, but Dustin will be in the running."

(By the way, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes are some of the Horizon Award – or New Artist – winners to have performed at the Festival of the Bells.)

The Farm to perform at Festival of the Bells Hillsboro will be having a "Farm Party" at the 2013 Festival of the Bells, when The Farm Inc.

will be the Friday night concert headliners for this year's event on July 5.

The Farm joins Dustin Lynch, who will perform on Saturday, July 6 at the annual festival.

The band, made up of vocalists Nick Hoffman (who also plays fiddle), Damien Horne and Krista Marie, was founded in 2010. The Farm's debut album "The Farm," released in 2012, includes the hits "Be Grateful," "Farm Party" and "Home Sweet Home." "'Be Grateful' is a song I personally really, really like, and 'Home Sweet Home' got in the top 10 last year," Festival of the Bells committee member and entertainment chairman Rick Williams said.

The band's website, thefarmmusic.com, describes their music as incorporating "unique harmonies and multi-layered influences."

"Nick was a country traditionalist, Krista was a former solo vocalist with a background in opera and standards, and Damien had first moved to Nashville with an alternative-rock band and ended up opening concerts for R&B artist John Legend," the website states.

The three met together to write music, which they based around Hoffman's fiddle instead of a guitar, and The Farm's web-

site says that "once they launched into the 'Home Sweet Home' chorus, the three voices fell into place with an unexpected, other-worldly sound."

The Festival of the Bells has a history of welcoming rising country music stars, including Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley.

"They're very energetic, and they're tremendous entertainers," Williams said. "They may be the best energetic group ever to come to Hillsboro.

"We're happy to have them, and they are good young entertainers coming to Hillsboro."

Heath to open 2013 Festival of the Bells Popular Christian singersongwriter Brandon Heath will open the 2013 Festival of the Bells on July 4 at 9 p.m.

Heath's concert will mark the eighth annual Christian opening act organized by the Hillsboro Ministerial Association for the Festival of the Bells.

Heath, who is currently promoting his 2012 album "Blue Mountain," is known for the 2009 Grammy-nominated and Dove Award-winning Song of the Year "Give Me Your Eyes," as well as the hits "I'm Not Who I Was," "Our God Reigns" and

"Your Love."

A former songwriter, Heath's debut album, "Don't Get Comfortable," was released in 2006, and was followed by the top-five hit albums "What If We" and "Leaving Eden."

"The struggles he's had in his life and how it's affected his ability to write music about those struggles are very common threads that all of us here in our own community face every day," event organizer Brian Robinson said. "I think there's a natural bond there."

Robinson said that he has seen Heath in concert twice, including seeing him on Sunday, March 17, and that his highenergy, uplifting performance is sure to be popular with Festival audiences.

Local churches interested in helping to fund this event are encouraged to contact Robinson at (937) 393-2532.

"We've been blessed, that the churches have made this happen in years past and obviously allow us to continue to do this," Robinson said.

"We're excited that Brandon's coming, and we're excited to see what great things will happen that night."

The Festival of the Bells will be July 4-6. To find out more information on the Festival of the Bells, visit www.festivalofthebells.com.

4 - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - The Informer

Signers of the Declaration of Independence Thursday, most of us will celebrate the Fourth of July in some manner. The right for us to celebrate July 4 was secured for us by various brave colonial men and women of the eighteenth century. We owe much to those who were willing to risk everything to sign our Declaration of Independence.

Although 56 men signed that document, most of us can name no more than four or five. We have little knowledge of who they really were.

Recently someone handed me an article entitled “4th of July.” After checking on the source of the article and its facts, I found some discrepancies and much rebuttal. So, I did some searching for more reliable facts and came up with the following taken from the July 2002 page, “Signers of the Declaration of Independence,” by Philly Talk Radio Online: Fifty-six men from the various original 13 colonies participated in the Second Continental Congress and signed the Declaration of Independence. Pennsylvania sent nine delegates to the congress; Virginia sent seven; Massachusetts and New Jersey, five. Connecticut, Maryland, New York, and South Carolina each sent three. Rhode Island sent only two delegates to Philadelphia.

Nine of those delegates and signers were immigrants; two were brothers; two, cousins; and one, an orphan.

The average age of a signer was 45. Benjamin Franklin (70) of Pennsylvania was the oldest signer, and Thomas Lynch, Jr. (27) of South Carolina was the youngest.

Eighteen of the signers were merchants or businessmen, 14 were farmers, 4 were doctors, 9 were judges, and 22 were lawyers although William Hooper of North Carolina was

disbarred when he spoke out against the Crown. Forty-two of the signers had served in their colonial legislatures.

Stephen Hopkins had been Governor of Rhode Island.

John Witherspoon of New Jersey was the only active clergyman although two others were former members of the clergy. Witherspoon actually wore his clergy garb to the sessions. Most of the signers were Protestant Christians; Charles Carroll of Maryland was the only Roman Catholic signer.

Seven of the signers were educated at Harvard, 4 each at Yale and William & Mary, and 3 at Princeton.

John Witherspoon was the president of Princeton, and George

After the Revolution, 13 of the signers went on to become governors, and 18 of them served in their state legislatures. Sixteen became state and federal judges. Seven became members of the U. S. House of Representatives, and six became U. S. Senators.

Two became Justices of the United States Supreme Court.

Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Elbridge Gerry each became Vice President; John Adams and Thomas Jefferson became President.

The sons of signers John Adams and Benjamin Harrison also became Presidents.

Five signers played major roles in the establishment of colleges and universities: Benjamin Franklin (University of Pennsylvania), Thomas Jefferson Guest Column (University of Virginia), Veterans Corner Benjamin Rush (Dickinson Tony A. Blevins, College), Lewis Morris (New York University), and CVSO George Walton (University of Georgia).

Late Blight on Tomatoes In 2009 we had a terrible time with Late Blight on tomatoes throughout the area. This does not normally happen very often, but it seems to have shown up to some degree ever since 2009. There are precautions that you can do if it begins to show up in the Southern Ohio.

The precautions include the use of fungicides.

Fungicides need to be applied before you have a problem, not after the plants are showing symptoms. There have been cases of Late Blight in Western Tennessee and in West Virginia this year. This disease can also damage potatoes.

This week the quilt block we are featuring is the colonial basket. I have seen this block used in quilts that were made before and during the civil war era. The basket weave is really made of half square triangles. the handle is fabric cut on the bias and appliqued to the background fabric. There are a few variations of this pattern but it looks great in a quilt. This is an optional block for The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge.

I also want to wish everyone entering a quilt in the Adams County Fair this year good luck. I always enjoy the floral hall and 4-H booths and the Girl Scout booth. Hopefully we will see some quilt patterns we know and love.

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: My hands are getting knarly and my arthritis is forcing me to stop knitting.

Do you have any suggestions of what I can do with my old needles? Sign me Edna Dear Edna: Apart from crafts and displaying the more vintage ones is a shadow box, there are lots of organizations that teach knitting and crochet that I am sure would love the donation. There are girl scout troops, and other youth groups that are either learning the craft of knitting or are doing community service projects to make hats and scarves for people

with a variety of illnesses.

I am sure Goodwill, the Salvation Army and the local charity groups would be happy to find them a new home. There is a lot of need and I applaud your giving spirit.

Dear Miss Needles: I recently purchased a sweater at a yard sale.

When I got home I discovered that it had a run in the knit. Any suggestions about how to repair it? Sign me Runner Dear Runner: If the sweater in knitted, you can usually follow the run to the bottom and see the loose loop. Using a crochet hook, pull the yarn from

the next row through the hoop. Keep working that way until you come to a seam. Now use a thread and needle to secure the loop to the seam on the inside. This should hold the stitch in place and it should not ladder or run again. If there are 2 dropped loops or stitches, use the same method, trying to match the loops to what the rest in the garment look like. You can do it. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Do you have a question for Miss Needles? If so, email her your question to dearmissneedles@yahoo.c om or write to her in care of The Informer.

Sun Damage. Wear your sunscreen!

Over time, the sun’s ultra-violet (UV) light hurts the fibers in the skin called elastin.

The breakdown of these fibers causes the skin to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to snap back after stretching. The skin also bruises and tears more easily and takes longer to heal. Nothing can completely undo sun damage, although the skin can sometimes repair itself, so it’s never too late to begin protecting yourself from the sun.

How long has it been since you’ve been to the Senior Center? We are here to serve YOU and we certainly enjoy your smiling faces and fellowship. We have various activities going on and you are welcome to get involved. We are always open to your suggestions and/or ideas on how to make your Senior Center a better place. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southwest Ohio During deer gun season, State Wildlife Officer Mark Schemmel, assigned to Adams County and Wildlife Officer Field Supervisor Mike Miller were out on patrol. During their travels, they observed three individuals who appeared to be just returning from the woods. They were still dressed in camouflage and had various articles of hunter orange clothing strewn about the driveway. Their vehicle was backed up against a barn with all of the doors opened in what appeared to be a manner so they could unload any deer that they had harvested. As the two officers passed the entrance of the driveway and observed the details which traditionally identify hunter behavior, they decided to turn around and contact the individuals to check that the hunters and their harvest were in compliance with the law. When the officers began driving up the driveway, the individuals noticed the patrol vehicle and quickly began to close and latch the barn doors and gather their belongings. When the officers exited their vehicle, they spoke with the individuals and asked them if they had harvested any deer, which they had.

Upon inspection of two deer carcasses hanging from the rafters, the officers saw that neither deer carcass had been temporarily tagged or permanently checked in. The owners of the deer carcasses were cited for failing to temporarily tag their deer.

Southeast Ohio On March 3, 2013 state Wildlife Officer Jeff Berry, assigned to Muskingum County, was patrolling the Powelson Wildlife Area when he noticed three vehicles parked at a dead end road. Officer Berry recognized one of the vehicles as being owned by an individual that he and Wildlife Officer Jerrod Allison made previous contact with and informed him that it was

illegal to be mountain biking within the wildlife area. Berry parked down the road and waited until someone returned to the vehicles. Approximately an hour went by when four individuals riding mountain bikes exited the woods and rode up to the vehicles. Berry made contact with the individuals and issued three citations.

The case goes to trial in July. Later that same day Officer Berry was on his way home when he received a call from Dillon State Park Officer Mike Zabrowski stating that someone was riding ATVs at the Dillon Wildlife Area. Berry drove to the wildlife area and found four vehicles with trailers parked along an access road. Berry parked by the vehicles and waited until someone returned to the vehicles. Approximately 45 minutes went by when two ATVs and two sideby-sides approached his location. The four individuals were cited for operating a motor vehicle in a non-designated area.

The individuals paid fines and court costs totaling $500 dollars.

While Officer Berry was issuing citations to the four individuals on the Dillon Wildlife Area in Muskingum County he heard what sounded like a vehicle stuck in the mud.

The sounds were coming from an adjacent field which was located in Licking County. Berry finished issuing the citations and drove to the location where he heard the vehicles. When Berry arrived at the location he found three vehicles mudrunning in a corn field and one vehicle stuck in the mud within the wildlife area. The four individuals were cited for operating a motor vehicle in a nondesignated area. The individuals appeared in Licking County Municipal

Northeast Ohio While working spotlighting enforcement last fall, State Wildlife Officer Randy White, assigned to Lorain County, and Wildlife Investigator Rick Louttit initiated a traffic stop. After the officers secured the occupants, they noticed blood in the back of the vehicle. The subsequent investigation resulted in two individuals being charged for spotlighting, possessing untagged deer, and deterring a wildlife officer in multiple court jurisdictions. The men were convicted in court and assessed fines and costs over $2,100. The deer was forfeited to the Division of Wildlife as well.

Central Ohio Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend State Wildlife Officers patrolled public fishing accesses in Delaware County. While targeting sport fishing and license compliance state officers also were inspecting buckets and fish baskets for length requirements on crappie. While checking two fishermen at Hoover Reservoir, Wildlife Officers Josh Shields and Justus Nethero identified themselves as State Wildlife Officers. One of the fishermen immediately grabbed a small crappie from his bucket and pitched it towards the water’s edge.

Officer Shields immediately stepped into the water and grabbed the fish before it could swim away. The fish was evidence that the fishermen knowingly kept short fish. It was determined that one of the men had a prior violation in 2002 for possessing under sized crappie. Both men were issued citations for possessing short crappies (less than 9 inches in length). The two men were ordered to pay fines in the Delaware Municipal Court totaling $310. A total of six short fish were photographed for evidence and returned to the lake.
