President Barack Obama nominated Peter C. Tobin to serve as the U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio. U.S. Marshals are nominated by the President of the United States and must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. “Peter Tobin’s wealth of experience and commitment to serving others has uniquely prepared him for this position,” U.S. Senator Sherod Brown said. “His diverse career in law enforcement spans more than four decades and his years in the United States Army and Ohio Army National Guard make him an ideal public servant. Peter is dedicated to crime prevention and fighting the drug trade.” A veteran of the United States Army and Ohio Army National Guard, Tobin began his career at the Columbus Police Department where he was a patrolman before eventually earning command of its SWAT Team. He has served as Chief of Police for both the Powell and London Police Departments and was the Narcotics Division Chief at the Ohio Bureau of
Ohio House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee Releases Key Findings of IRS Targeting of Ohioans
Largest Heroin Seizure in Scioto County History
The Ohio House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee conducted a field hearing on House Concurrent Resolution 27. The bipartisan bill was sponsored Rep. Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) and Rep. Dale Mallory (DCincinnati) regarding the politicization of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and targeting of Ohioans. Ohio House Policy and Legislative Oversight Committee Chairman Mike Dovilla (R-Berea) said, “Our committee extended an open invitation to all Ohioans who believe they were targeted by the IRS, regardless of personal political affiliation or inferred organizational association, and we are thankful many Ohioans volunteered to testify. Some observers have asked why we would take an Ohio House committee on the road and spend time discussing a federal agency. No one explained this better than Rep. Mallory during his sponsor testimony when he said this issue is a black eye for his region and the State of Ohio. To think that for months national news focused on Cincinnati as the focal point of abuse of government power inflicted upon ordinary citizens is troubling and quite frankly an embarrassment to the good people of Cincinnati and our great state. Our Republic has a federalist form of representative government, and state legislatures must continue to play an important role in the discourse on public policy issues, including those that take place at the federal level. Our committee will continue to ensure government is accountable to hardworking Ohioans.” Key points from testimony of Ohio residents: Marion Bower, the President of American PAGE, testified the IRS took an inordinate amount of time, over two years and six months, for the IRS to reach a final determination regarding their application. According to IRS documents submitted by Ms. Bower, in comparison to documents submitted by other groups, IRS agents were provided with much leeway in the writing of questionnaires.Under penalty of perjury, Ms. Bower was provided a list of activities her group could be engaged in as determined by an IRS agent, and was expected the total percentage of time and resources to add up to 100 percent.
Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies involved in operation that nets four arrests. The Southern Ohio Drug Task Force Officers and Ohio State Parks Officers seized nearly 500 grams of Heroin. This quantity is thought to be the largest single seizure of Heroin to ever take place in Scioto County, according to Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini and Portsmouth Police Chief Robert Ware. At approximately 3:49 p.m. on August 1st, 2013, Ohio State Parks Officers notified the Southern Ohio Drug Task Force that a large amount of Heroin and cash had been located on Ohio Department of Natural Resources property. At that time Task Force Officers began a joint operation with Ohio State Parks law enforcement. Over one pound (approximately 489.5 grams) of suspected Heroin at an estimated street value of approximately $74,000 and approximately $12,000 US currency had been recovered on the property located in West Portsmouth.

During the course of the investigation, Task Force and Park Officers conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle, which was being driven by 24 year old Phillip T. Hanson-Bass of 716 Osmond Ave. Dayton. During a search of the vehicle, officers discovered a loaded, 9mm, semi-automatic handgun in a hidden compartment in the vehicle, over $1,000 US Currency, and evidence tying HansonBass and 24 year old passenger, Robert C. Woods Jr. of 318 Knecht Dr. Dayton, to the suspected Heroin discovered. Hanson-Bass and Woods Jr. were arrested and charged with Trafficking in Heroin, a Felony of the 1st degree, Possession of Heroin, a Felony of the 1st degree, and Having a Weapon while under Disability, a Felony of the 3rd degree. Both were placed in the Scioto County Jail and each held on a $515,000 bond. With the assistance of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and the West Union Police Department., Officers from the Task
Force and Park Service conducted an additional traffic stop of a vehicle that was operated by Ryan L. Starks, 21 and occupied Sashia M. Woods, 28, both of Portsmouth, on SR 125 in West Union. Over $800 US Currency and suspected Illegal Substances were discovered in the vehicle. Starks and Woods were arrested and charged with Trafficking in Heroin, a Felony of the 1st degree and Possession of Heroin, a Felony of the 1st degree. Both were placed in the Scioto County Jail and each held on a $500,000 bond. Hanson-Bass, Robert Woods, Sashia Woods, and Starks was arraigned in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Friday, August 2. According to Task Force and Park Officers, the investigation is ongoing and future arrests may be made. Sheriff Donini and Chief Ware would like to commend the agencies for working together and also thank the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation for their assistance.
Criminal Identification. Most recently, he served as the Bureau’s Superintendent. “I am truly grateful to President Obama for this honor,” Tobin said. “If confirmed, I look forward to becoming a part of the U.S. Marshal Service and know that I will be working with 123 true professionals in the Ohio Southern District Offices.” Brown’s recommendation for the U.S. Marshal opening was based on the advice of a selection commission he assembled, comprised of a diverse group of community leaders and members of the legal and law enforcement communities. To prevent any conflicts of interest, commission members residing in the Northern District of Ohio reviewed applicants for this Southern District vacancy. Each applicant completed an extensive questionnaire, financial disclosure form, and leading candidates interviewed with the commission. After interviews were completed, the commission made recommendations to Brown.
Answering honestly, one activity was listed twice, and Ms. Bower received a second questionnaire scolding her that the sum of her responses did not add up to 100 percent, forcing her to resubmit the questionnaire. The Ohio Christian Alliance was notified by the IRS they would be contacted within 90 days to complete their application for 501(c)3 status, it took 267 days for their organization to be contacted. An Ohio resident, Justin Binik-Thomas, was personally singled out in an IRS questionnaire to the Liberty Township Tea Party. Mr. Binik-Thomas had no personal, professional, or volunteer relationship with the aforementioned group and did not reside in the vicinity of the aforementioned group. Upon contacting the IRS Taxpayer Advocate, with a copy of the questionnaire, the Taxpayer Advocate provided two responses Mr. Binik-Thomas. The first informed Mr. BinikThomas that the IRS did not ask questions pertaining to individuals. The second informed Mr. Binik-Thomas that due to privacy laws the IRS could not divulge any information about questions related to Mr. Binik-Thomas. Tim Savaglio, Board Member of the Liberty County TEA Party, applied for tax exempt status in May 2010. Over three years later, the organization’s request is still outstanding. Mr. Savaglio’s organization received two questionnaires, with the first questionnaire composed of over 90 separate entries for more detailed information. “I am glad that we were able to hear from the folks in Cincinnati and throughout the state who were targeted by the IRS,” said Rep. Johnson, the sponsor of the resolution. “Such a powerful entity must have the highest respect for the American people, who are its masters. The Obama administration, which is fully responsible for the actions of this agency, must ensure that it is fully and transparently accountable to the American people, including making the results of its investigation known to all, as well as the disciplinary actions and punishments of those involved. We must root this out and be satisfied that it will never happen again.”

Letter to America, America is headed straight towards destruction. And this destruction will come as a judgement from God. This judgement can only be averted if we seek God and turn ourselves and our country around. Responsibility for the ungodliness which now prevails in our great country belongs to each one of us. But why me, you are probably thinking, to yourself. Because God says so! You see, God is going to hold us responsible for everything.

For what we have done and for what we failed to do. In the Word of God (the Holy Bible) it says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man" (Ecclesiastes 12:13). We failed our duty in many different ways! We stood by as our nation was being corrupted and perverted, and we let ungodliness seep into every aspect of our lives. Everything which God considers abomination is now acceptable in America. Some of our political leaders now brazenly support things which God Almighty called wicked and abominable. They are either not knowledgeable in God's word, or are defying God. The Holy Bible shows what happened to nations who dared to defy God, or that got so morally depraved that God finally destroyed
them. So we need to admit that America is morally and spiritually corrupt, and that it is time to turn back to God. As a start, turn the TV off, and then close your eyes, sit back, take a few deep breaths, and relax for a few minutes without thinking. Then believe the Bible truth that there is a living God, our Creator, who created everything that was created and made, including you, and that He loves you. On a clear night, go outside where it is dark and look at the moon, stars, and the never-ending universe. Everything you see before you, stands, on God's Word. God wants us to love him, obey him, and serve him, in return for the life he has given us. To get to know God, read the Word of God, the Holy Bible, from beginning to end.

The longer a person lives, the more likely friendships will be lost due to poor health, moving away or death.

sharing new experiences, reminiscing the past and support in time of need. Create your own opportunities to meet new people and make new friends by: · Begin a neighborhood get-together for coffee or lunch. · * Organize a small interest group to share a hobby like reading, needlework, gardening, quilting, etc. · Organize a walking club · Join a neighborhood watch committee and look out for one another. · Volunteer to help with a community service group, local hospital or even come to our senior center where we offer many opportunities to make some new friends or get reacquainted with an old one.

Before, during, and after the civil war applique quilts were extremely popular with designs ranging from album quilts to quilts made with 4 very large blocks of a repeating applique design. One such block popular was the Peony block. There are several variations but basically it was a vase with greenery, buds and peony flowers. I have seen these in pink and green, red and green and a variety of colors. This is a great way to learn applique by doing a large block as opposed to doing tiny work. Larger is easier than miniature. In am upcoming edition we will have a check list for those of you making The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge quilt. If there is a quilt block you would like featured in this paper, please write to us.
Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I am wanting to learn to do counted cross stitch and wanted to know if you had any recommendations. Sign me.. Joni Dear Joni: For years my step-daughter has made wonderful counted cross-stitch pictures. I decided to try and bought a very large kit. Half way through I believe if my memory serves me correctly, I told her people in pergatory would be forced to do it. Luckily she took the project and completed it for me. Since then I have made counted cross stitch towels, added initials to wash cloths and gave them as gifts and the craft has grown on me to the point I am going to tackle a beautiful book mark next. I think it would make a great Easter gift. I would suggest starting with a small project that is easier to complete. Perhaps one with larger cloth. As you get the hang of it, then doing the finer and tiner stitches and larger projects. Good luck and send us a picture of your work. Dear Miss Needles: Is there a certain type of needle I need to sew through denim? I am wanting to mend my new jeans but the needle keeps bending. Thanks! Rolanda Dear Rolanda: Absolutely. If you are
sewing on a sewing machine, you need to use a denim or canvas needle (they are marked for each machine) on the needle box and are the thicker and heavier needles. They will usually be a size 16 needle (or 100 if you are using imported needles). Hand needles, sometimes called sharpes, run in the other numbering direction with a 1 being the longest
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
and thichest and 10 the shortest. For sewing machines they 10 are smaller and 18 larger so the sizes run in the opposite direction. Do not try to put the need thru very many layers of denim. Do you have a question for dear miss needles? If so, e-mail her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com or write to her in care of The Informer.

In response to the Thursday, August 1, 2013 editorial that was on page 2 of The Signal. Mr. Harry Bobby Harris wrote an article slanted towards his distaste of myself and Manchester Police Chief Jeff Bowling. While I will not speak for Chief Bowling, but I will say that he has been a wonderful asset to the Manchester Village and the Police Department. He has remarkably turned the department around. To that i am very thankful. I am going to address several bullet points that were aimed at me since I took office in December 2011. Mr. Harris reported that he has created more jobs for residents in a week then I have as mayor. This administration has moved a 1099 employee to a
part time status, added a full time position and two part time positions (one PD Clerk and one Officer) to the Police Department roster, filled a full time vacancy on the Life Squad roster. Also this administration reached an agreement with the Ross Bait Company that has employed workers. Bees buzzing around a tree at fourth and Washington. While it is true that a bee colony did hibernate in the tree we took appropriate steps. The Queen Bee was removed first, then the Bee colony itself was extracted from the tree by the Adams County Bee Keepers. It took some time, but it was removed and our village worked with them. I was at the site and spoke briefly to the worker who extracted the colony and was briefed of his findings. Also the property

that the bee colony was on does have tall weeds in excess of what our Ordinances allows. I have ordered that our village equipment not be used on that property due to several trusses that are laying on the ground amongst the weeds that could damage our equipment. Furthermore, I have ordered that our village equipment not be used on personal property for purposes such as mowing. Many of the properties and including the particular one that Mr. Harris referred to is in Bankruptcy and Foreclosures. Of which our Village Solicitor is working very aggressive on. The flood mitigated property listed as Green Space earning income (i.e Water Department). That particular parcel of ground was purchased and was never in the FEMA Properties that the village has control of. In the closing of his letter that he mentioned a No Trespassing on Mr. Harris that was served by Chief Bowling. It is true, I did that due to a security threat for many who attend our Council meetings and for village workers who discussed with me their feelings. I have said many times I want a village that our forefathers would be proud of. It is my intent and constant work to move Manchester forward. It takes time and determination that we all must roll up our sleeves and work together for the common good.
Agriculture Downy Mildew Alert I received word Friday night that Downy Mildew has been confirmed in Kentucky. With the forecast for rain on Wednesday, this could be a problem for growers who produce squash, cucumbers and pumpkins. A preventative fungicide is recommended. The Downy Mildew was found on cucumbers just south of Lexington. August is a Good Time to Plant Forages August is normally a good time to establish forages. This August may be even better than normal because we have had plenty of moisture to this point in Southern Ohio. The following is part of a article that appeared in the CORN newsletter this week written by Rory Lewandowski and Mark Sulc from OSU Extension. The entire article can be found by going to corn.osu.edu Rain and wet soil conditions condensed the spring planting season this year and some planned alfalfa plantings got moved to the back burner. August provides another window of opportunity to establish a perennial forage stand and it fits nicely into rotations after wheat grain harvest. Typically the main risk with an August planting is a question of sufficient moisture for seed germination and plant growth. This year if soil moisture is a concern, it is from the standpoint of too much rather than too little moisture. There are some advantages to late summer forage planting as compared to a spring planting. One big plus is that planting time and field preparation is not competing with corn and soybean field work. No-till planting following a small grain crop often
works well. Late summer planting means forage seedlings are not competing with the flush of annual spring and summer weed emergence/growth. The soil borne root rot and damping off disease organisms that thrive in cool, wet soils are not an issue. However, late summer forage planting has some other risks that must be managed. Ideally, planting should be completed by mid-August in Northern Ohio and by the end of August in Southern Ohio. These time lines are David Dugan

Tobacco Field Night I would like to remind tobacco producers that we will have a twilight tobacco field night on August 20 starting at 5:00 p.m. in the West Union area.

based on average frost dates and the time needed for forage plants to develop a root system capable of overwintering. For example, at about 8 to 10 weeks after emergence alfalfa plants pull the growing point below the soil surface, a process is called ‘contractile growth’. Once contractile growth occurs the alfalfa plant is considered a true perennial. The alfalfa plant needs to reach this growth stage to overwinter. Clover plants also need to have a crown formed, and grasses should be at least in the tilling stage of development before the onset of winter. If the fall is warm and extended, similar to what we have experienced the past few years, it might be possible for successful establishment with later planting dates. Some alfalfa growers believe that the late summer planting

Master Gardener - Butterflies and the Milkweed Family By Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer As I take my daily walk I stop to observe what caterpillars are munching away on my plants and try to identify the butterflies collecting nectar in my flower beds. I keep my phone in my pocket so I can snap a quick photograph of any garden visitors. My father worked diligently to eradicate any milkweed from our farm ground and would surely be disappointed with me for enthusiastically planting several varieties in my gardens. Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is probably the most invasive culprit. It selfsows freely, so deadhead if you don’t want volunteer seedlings each year. All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. The milkweeds contain toxins called cardiac glycosides. Monarch and Queen Caterpillars accumulate these toxins while feeding and become distasteful to predators such as birds and reptiles. The toxins remain even in the body of the adult butterfly, and in the Monarch are concentrated in the wings and the abdomen. Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a wellbehaved garden plant. It forms a large clump and will not spread by runners like so many of its cousins. As with the Common Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed

attracts bees, butterflies and birds. Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) is native to North America and can be found in prairies and along railroad beds growing in clumps. This true milkweed lacks milky sap; instead, its stem and leaves bleed clear sap. The species name tuberosa refers to its large taproot, which makes it nearly impossible to transplant (it can be grown from seed). Its single stems branch only near the top and its flower stalks harbor up to 25 individual flowers. Flowers vary from all yellow to red. Butterfly Weed is a host plant for Gray Hairstreak and Monarch butterfly caterpillars. The life history of a Monarch butterfly is fascinating to observe. There are four stages to a butterfly’s life, and each is radically different from the others. A butterfly starts as an egg, which hatches in about 4 to 6 days. The tiny caterpillar starts to eat and, as it gets bigger, sheds its skin 4 to 6 times. After about 2 to 3 weeks it is full grown and transforms into a pupa, a quiescent stage during which its body structures change into those of an adult. Five to fifteen days later the adult butterfly emerges. Adults mate, the females lay eggs, and the cycle starts over. This whole process is called metamorphosis, which means “change of form.” I apologize for getting so “scientific”, but sometimes we forget the chain of events. Needless to say, I learn more about butterflies each year. I have read about rearing butterflies, but I think my calico cat would more than likely help the caterpillars meet an untimely death! If you would like more information about butterfly gardens go to the Ohio State University Extension Web Site
at http://ohioline.osu.edu and read Fact Sheets W-12-2002, (Butterfly Gardens) W-13-2002, (Native Landscaping for Birds, Bees, Butterflies, and other Wildlife) and Bulletin 865 (Native Plants of Ohio). The vegetable garden is growing nicely. Tomatoes are appearing on the vines and I can almost taste them. The tomato map is hanging in the garden so that we can find the name of the tomato that we are sampling. This past week-end we hosted an outdoor wedding reception for a good friend. The lower yard needed weeded and mulched. We ended up spreading 23 yards of mulch! I feel like I am ready for a garden tour. The deer have been trimming the hostas down at the cabin. I sprinkled some “repellant” and then we were blessed with 3 ½ inches of rain, so I had to sprinkle again. The farmers have planted corn all around us, so the deer will be dining in our landscape more this year. I have been watching a family of rabbits hop around the fenced in part of my garden each morning- so far they haven’t hopped over. Are you starting to find insect damage on your plants or roses? Don’t forget that your gardening questions can be emailed to Mike Hannah, Brown County Master Gardener, at mhannah2@msn.com.

Politics & Government
Ohioans Need a Break On Student Loans Ohio Senate Democratic Leader Eric H. Kearney (D-Cincinnati) called on the United States Congress to act quickly to pass a bipartisan compromise that will lower interest rates on student loans. The legislation will cut rates on all new loans this year and enable borrowers to lock in current low interest rates over the life of their loans. This is a great plan that will enable more Ohioans to pursue a higher education.
High interest rates on student loans can make college unaffordable and this legis-
of $1,507 if Congress approves the compromise legislation. The plan also caps how high student loan rates can climb in the future and stipulates that fixed interest rates Senator will be determined each Eric Kearney (D-Cincinnati) year by market conditions. Minority Leader If we want to encourage young Ohioans to go to college and provide the lation will help change that. skilled workers Ohio needs There are currently to be competitive, then 412,933 students in Ohio Congress should pass this who would save an average legislation without delay.
Letting Ohioans Keep TheirMoney Through Meaningful Tax Reform One of the most interesting things about the state budget is that it includes such a vast array of subject matter, it truly allows you to fit many different pieces of a puzzle together and achieve overall reform in how our state operates. The members of the House began that process two years ago, when we pulled Ohio out of its $8 billion structural deficit and made various changes to get Ohio’s economy moving, including the elimination of the death tax. The new state operating budget that was recently signed into law by Governor Kasich furthers our efforts— reducing the tax burden on small businesses and cutting the income tax rate so that Ohio can have an economically competitive environment that is friendly toward jobs for our communities. Shifting away from the income tax toward consumption-based revenue is a change that I hope all Ohioans can agree is more desirable. While the income tax penalizes your success, the sales tax is more fair because you have the ultimate say on how much you purchase. The budget just enacted applies
to fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and it provides $2.7 billion in tax relief for Ohioans during the next three years. This includes a 50-percent tax cut for business owners on the first $250,000 in net income, as well a personal income tax cut of 10 percent in three years for all Ohioans. These changes will surely help job creators invest so that they can hire more
Ohio House Speaker William G. Batchelder (R-Medina)
Ohio workers. Because of the tax relief mentioned above, Ohio can move away from its overreliance on the income tax, which harms economic growth. Instead, we are heading toward a system based more on consumption, so the budget includes a sales tax adjustment from 5.5 percent to 5.75 percent. Additionally, our state will expand its collection of sales tax that out-of-state companies already have due under Ohio law.
On top of all this, the budget makes further efforts to modernize the tax code by closing various loopholes that could already be found in law. Many of these are unnecessary and unjustifiable. Examples of our changes include eliminating the gamblers’ losses deduction, equalizing taxes on cigarettes and cigarette-like products called “cigarillos,” and equalizing the taxes between digital and tangible items such as books and magazines. How to update Ohio’s tax code has long been debated, and I have no doubt that more changes will come in the future. I’m proud of the work that has taken place on the state operating budget, and Ohioans should have little doubt that the tax revisions that were included in it will allow businesses to expand and hire more Ohio workers in the coming years. Our state has already seen recent success, but more is to come. At the end of the day, providing for the economic prosperity of Ohio residents should remain our top priority, and this budget is one more step in that direction.
Bill to Better Project Long-term Impacts of Current Fiscal, Economic Policy U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) joined Senators John Thune (R-S.D.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) in introducing a bipartisan bill to provide for detailed analyses of how Congressional budgets and major pieces of new legislation would impact future generations. The Intergenerational Financial Obligations Reform (INFORM) Act, would also require the president to provide a detailed accounting of how the administration’s budget would affect young people. The bill would ensure that Congress and the administration have the tools necessary to better evaluate the effect that changes in taxes, spending policies, and future economic advancements will have on the fiscal health of the country and on individual Americans 20, 50, or even 75 years down the road. It would also require the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office to provide an annual analysis of the longterm impact high levels of debt will have on future generations. This approach, which is known as a generational accounting and fiscal gap analysis, would examine the full scope of the government’s obligations, present and future, and then look at the effect those obligations will have on current and future generations. Our nation’s youth should not be forced to pay the price of big-government run amuck. It’s time for Washington’s pattern of reckless spending to come to an end so that future generations are not unfairly weighed down by a mountain of debt. By requiring Congress to be up-front about the long-term financial effects of legislation, this bill will help curb wasteful spending and open up opportunities for our
children and grandchildren. “For too long, politicians have kicked the can down the road by relying on deficit spending to pay for growth in government, and today’s young people face a mounting burden of debt that will have to be repaid,” said Thune. “Young Americans in their 20s and 30s, and the generations who will follow them, are already facing the near certainty of higher taxes and lower benefits as a result of the debt we’ve piled up. It is far past time that young adults have a voice in Washington and it starts with Congress being transparent about the long-term impacts of budgets and major U.S. Senator legislation.”
Rob Portman (R)
“As we look to make tough budget decisions, more information is critical to making prudent fiscal choices,” said Kaine. “A better understanding of the long term impacts of changes in the economy, or new spending and tax policies, will help us evaluate these programs with the important perspective of how those decisions will affect future generations, not just our own.” Under current practice, Congress is typically only provided with information about the budgetary impacts of spending and policy decisions over the next 10 years. Thune and Kaine’s bill would allow Congress and the administration to look at the effect that changes in the economy, or in spending or taxes would have on Americans 20, 50, or even 75 years down the road. The concept of generational accounting was originally proposed in the 1990s and was used as a budget analysis tool during the parts of the George H.W. Bush administration and Clinton administration.
Risky Wall Street Practices May Cause Price Spikes in Gas, Electricity and Canned Soft Drinks for Ohio Consumers According to New Report, Wall Street Megabanks Hoard Commodities to Drive Up Prices for Ohio Manufacturers and Consumers. With more than 60 Ohio breweries dependent on aluminum, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) outlined efforts to crack down on bank holding companies (BHCs) physical commodities operations, and shed light on the effect these activities have on consumers and manufacturers. By hoarding physical commodities, such as aluminum in bank owned warehouses, BHCs effectively drive up the cost of everyday commodities and products, including gasoline, canned soft drinks and beer, and electricity for Ohioans. During the call, Brown was joined by Mary Jane Saunders, General Counsel for the Beer Institute, the trade association representing American brewers, beer importers and suppliers, who discussed the issue and its impact on the industry. Ohio manufacturers and consumers should not have the price of their gas, beer, soft drinks, or electricity driven up by Wall Street speculators. When Wall Street banks control the supply of both commodities and financial products, there's a potential for anti-competitive behavior and manipulation. It also exposes these megabanks - and the entire financial system - to undue risk from mine collapses, oil spills, and refinery explosions. In Ohio, 62 beer brew-
eries across the state directly employ 1,780 Ohioans. Brown’s office released a county-by-county inventory of the breweries in Ohio that depend on aluminum for production. Although not every brewery listed in the report has packaging operations at its facility, each brewery listed depends on aluminum for production.
Senator Sherrod Brown D-Ohio
“We are encouraged that Sen. Brown is looking at the issue from his perspective as a Subcommittee Chairman on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee,” Saunders said. “Brewers and beer importers have been paying tens of millions of dollars in higher prices and higher fees for aluminum that is used for cans. The warehouse rules set by the London Metal Exchange are preventing companies like MillerCoors and any of the other 61 brewers in Ohio from investing that money into capital investments that could create jobs.” According to a recent article in the New York Times, "the maneuvering in markets for oil, wheat, cotton, coffee and more have brought billions in profits to investment banks like Goldman, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan
Stanley, while forcing consumers to pay more every time they fill up a gas tank, flick on a light switch, open a beer or buy a cellphone." While the United Sates once separated banking from traditional commerce, today’s banks are now allowed to engage in a variety of non-financial activities, such as owning oil pipelines and tankers, electricity power plants and metals warehouses. Today, the six largest U.S. BHCs have 14,420 subsidiaries, only 19 of which are traditional banks. In order to address this alarming trend, Brown called for three steps of immediate action. The Federal Reserve must issue clear guidance on permissible non-bank activities, and consider placing limitations on those that expose banks and taxpayers to undue risk. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should crack down on anticompetitive practices and stop the bottleneck that allows the banks – which own the aluminum warehouses – to charge higher prices to end users like beer and soft drink companies. Congress must pass Brown and U.S. Sen. David Vitter’s (R-LA) recently introduced legislation, The Terminating Bailouts for Taxpayer Fairness Act (TBTF Act), which would limit taxpayer and government support to these non-banking activities.

Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southeast Ohio While working a fishing license compliance project, Wildlife Officer Eric Lane, assigned to Perry County, was notified by fellow wildlife officers Chris Dodge and Dan Perko that there were two individuals at the edge of a river beneath a bridge. With the directions given, Officer Lane made his way near the two individuals. There was an extremely steep bank down to the edge of the water. Officer Lane was able to get within 10 yards of the fishermen. He observed them fishing for several minutes. Officer Lane then asked how they were doing. The two men turned around and stated that they had not caught anything yet. Officer Lane asked them to hold up their fishing licenses. One individual held up last year’s fishing license. The other stated that he had not purchased one yet. The two men reeled in their lines and walked up the bank. The
two men were cited in court with fines totaling $300. The case is still pending. During the 2013 statewide muzzleloader deer season, Wildlife Officer Brad St. Clair, assigned to Noble County, was contacted by a local sportsmen’s club about a freshly-killed deer they found on their property. The club members were concerned after they followed the blood trail in the snow and found evidence suggesting a neighbor shot it while hunting without permission. Officer St. Clair and Wildlife Officer Wes Feldner, assigned to Monroe County, responded to the scene and made contact with an individual. Further investigation revealed the suspect unlawfully harvested the deer while hunting without writ-

ten permission. However, his story didn’t completely add up, so Officer St. Clair and Officer Feldner continued to question him about the circumstances surrounding the violation. The individual actually shot the deer an hour and a half after legal shooting hours with a shotgun. The individual was issued citations for hunting without written permission, taking a deer with an unlawful implement during the muzzleloader season and shooting a deer after hours. The individual was found guilty in Noble County Court and ordered to pay $399 in fines and court costs. The deer was seized as evidence and forfeited to the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Southwest Ohio During the 2012 deer archery season, State Wildlife Officer Rick Rogers, assigned to Warren County, received a tip that a subject had shot a deer illegally with an arrow containing a field point. Officer Rogers contacted the subject and was given the following explanation by the man: “I had planned to go deer hunting with my friend and decided to practice a few shots while waiting on him to arrive. As I released my arrow to shoot the target, a deer stepped out from behind an evergreen tree. The arrow missed the target and hit the deer.” Immediately realizing that this was a fictitious explanation of the events, Officer Rogers advised the subject that he would get to recount that amazing story to a judge. When Officer Rogers asked for his bow the man became nervous and advised he would like to keep his bow and tell the truth, which he did shortly thereafter. The subject was charged with shooting a deer with a field tip, taking a deer without a deer permit, and taking a deer without a hunting license. He paid a $100 fine on each count plus court costs. The judge was not amazed with the man’s untruthfulness to Officer Rogers and ordered the bow to be forfeited as well.

SSCC’s Associate Degree Nursing program graduates 40 Forty graduates of Southern State Community College’s Associate Degree Nursing program were recognized during a recent pinning ceremony at the college’s Central Campus in Hillsboro. Graduate Diana Smith opened the evening ceremony with a recitation of the nurse’s prayer, which was followed by the welcome and introductions by graduate Jessica Clutter. “We’re proud—and grateful—for the career field you have chosen,” said Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President, who welcomed the guests and congratulated the students on their accomplishments in the nursing program. Dr. Julianne Krebs, director of Southern State’s nursing program, introduced the college’s nursing faculty and staff. “Join us in the excitement and joy as we celebrate the passage of these graduates into the nursing practice,” said Dr. Krebs. Following the welcome and introductions, the Jacobson Memorial Scholarship Award was presented. In 2000, a scholarship was established to honor JoAnne Jacobson, who taught for the college’s nursing program from 1986-96. The Jacobson Memorial Scholarship Award is presented to a nursing student during the ADN pinning by members of the Jacobson family. First-level nursing student Sydney Cornwell was awarded this year’s scholarship. During the pinning of graduates, friends and family members of nursing students were welcomed to join their loved ones on stage and present the graduates with the Associate Degree Nursing graduate pins. Graduate Mitch McManis led the lighting of the candle while the ADN graduates recited the Florence Nightingale Pledge. Closing remarks were delivered by graduate Ryan Battista-Pride. The 2013 graduating class includes, from Adams County, Heilery A. Mefford of Seaman, and Darren Lee Polley* of Seaman; from Brown County, Ryan Battista-Pride# of Georgetown, Bridget A.
