Mitt Romney's son Josh stops at the Courthouse

A demand letter was recently sent from John Bell, attorney for the Ohio SPCA, to the Adams County Commissioners regarding inhumane administration of EBI and the failure to provide veterinary care to sick and injured animals. In addition to a visit to the Adams County Dog Pound by two Ohio SPCA representatives, statements and photographs were gathered. The county commissioners had until September 30, to respond to the demands. Along with the immediate demands, a 13 item records request was issued.

The photographs along with details of the investigation will be released if the county commissioners do not cooperate. It is our goal to work with county officials so that doors are not closed to volunteers or rescues. Sensationalism and heroism have not been trademarks of our work over the past decade. Behind the scenes we are often able to put fires out, but when an explosion is inevitable, we let the public know. The ultimate goal is reform – to bring humane treatment and proactive procedures to Ohio’s county dog shelters.

Excerpt from Letter: 1. Demand to Cease and Desist

This is a demand, which our client is prepared to enforce through legal process, that the Dog Warden immediately and until further notice: 1. Cease and Desist from euthanizing or destroying any animal by any method other than Euthanasia by Injection (E.B.I.) with a properly trained veterinarian or veterinary technician.

2. Make any and all necessary arrangements for timely and proper veterinary care for all animals in the custody of the Dog Warden that appear to be injured or ill and provide our office with documentation of such care.

Adams County Commissioner Brian Baldridge said, "The SPCA has sent a request that we stop euthanasia at our county dog pound. Our employees have been proactive in trying to find homes for as many dogs as possible. They have followed the guidelines and laws set forth in reference to this issue. I would encourage the SPCA join us in our work to rescue and place the remainder of the dogs we have been unable to find homes for.

Together we can make Adams County a safer place for both animals and people."

The Great Ohio River Paddle was this past weekend in Manchester, The event started at the Ohio Brush Creek Campground where they paddled to the Manchester Islands.

Once the Paddlers reached the Manchester Islands they met Ranger Pattie Morrison. According to President Rob Shimp of the Ohio River Foundation they had 40 paddlers to work on three specific things at the Islands.We cleaned and removed trash, installed new signs and removed seedlings of trees and are going to transplant those. The trash was brought back to the shore where it was properly disposed of.

Harold Watson who is a

member of the Ohio River Foundation mentioned a total of 57 paddlers were involved in the Ohio River Paddle.

The paddlers camped out in Manchester.

They were scheduled to paddle down river to Maysville, Kentucky to finish off the excursion.

On Sunday, they woke up to a Wind Advisory, because of the river being so rough and paddling against the wind a decision was made to spend time in Manchester. Some stayed close to Manchester and paddled to Island Creek and ventured into the creek area and returned to town.

Members were able to accomplish several of the goals they had on the agenda.

I Know You Are Still With Me It's been five long years ago since God called your name And, you took your ride to heaven on the long black train But, we can still feel your presence here in almost every day You have shown you're still with us in almost every way I have seen your face in a floating cloud way up in the sky Felt your kiss upon my cheek when an autumn breeze goes by A hug is in your old sweater that I sometimes get out and wear The scent of your after shave lingers in your favorite easy chair I know that your spirit is always in my heart, and at my side It will be always until the long black train takes me for a ride Sadly missed by all his family and friends

Leter to the Editor Dear Editor, Well, the interviews for the positions of president and vice-president so far have not gone well for the Democratic ticket. The debates have only served to expose them. First President Obama showed why he is so dependent on the teleprompter and prepared speeches, he delivers them well but when called upon to think on his feet he lacks depth and knowledge. Governor Romney was sharp and well informed and clearly dominated the debate from beginning to end. Then Vice-President Biden came up big for his party. Big, in that he was boorish, rude and consistently acted in an irrational and condescending manner.

Rep. Ryan was polite and more than held his own against the ridiculous demeanor of Biden. Knowing that Obama and Biden have been running our great country for almost four years makes you understand why our great country is suffering and in economic and foreign policy decline.

Southeast Ohio After receiving a tip of an individual that was possibly digging ginseng out of season in the Wayne National Forest, Gallia County Wildlife Officer Roy Rucker proceeded to the location and found a car parked along the side of the road. Officer Rucker was able to locate the suspect in the woods and observe him digging something from the ground. Officer Rucker observed the individual for over 20 minutes before he began to head toward his vehicle. The individual was carrying two burlap bags that appeared to be filled with roots. Officer Rucker made contact with the subject at his vehicle and inquired what he was digging. The individual stated that he was digging cohosh.

When Officer Rucker inquired if he had anything else in the bags, the suspect stated that he had a little yellow root. Upon further investigation, Officer Rucker found a bag that contained 50 ginseng roots.

The suspect was charged with digging ginseng during the closed season and was order to pay $305 in

fines and court costs, and the ginseng and digging device used by the subject was forfeited to the state.

The individual was also charged by a National Forest Officer for digging roots in the Wayne National Forest without a permit, and was ordered to appear

in Federal Columbus.

Northeast Ohio During an early July morning, Mahoning County Wildlife Officer Tom Frank observed five individuals exit a vehicle which was parked along the causeway at Berlin Lake. He watched as four of them pushed a section of a boat dock into the water and place what appeared to be over a dozen beer cans on top of the “floating bar”. The fifth member of the group sat along the shore and watched as the others swam in the lake. At approximately 2:30 a.m. the group

returned to shore.

Unfortunately, they failed to bring any beer cans back.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered they sank the cans in the lake. All four individuals were issued a summons for litter and paid a total of $680 in fines and court costs. They were also ordered to complete 20 hours of community service collecting litter.

Central Ohio Wildlife Officers Josh Shields and Chad Grote were checking fishermen on the Delaware Wildlife Area in Delaware County.

The officers contacted two men fishing along the bank of the lake, and both had valid fishing licenses.

During their conversation one of the men was drinking a beer. Upon further investigation, it was discovered he threw an empty beer bottle into the weeds.

The officers issued the man a summons for stream litter and gave him a warning for consuming alcohol on the wildlife area. He was sentenced to pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty at the Delaware Municipal Court.

The man subsequently failed to pay his ticket. A warrant was issued for his arrest, with restitution of $440.70.

Brown Applauds Earmark's Acquisition of RG Steel's Yorkville Facility and 50 Percent Interest in Ohio Coatings Company Acquisition Expected to Bring Back 160 Jobs to Ohio Valley, Create Additional Jobs in the Future U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today applauded the announcement of Esmark’s acquisition of RG Steel’s plant in Yorkville. The company expects to restart Yorkville facility in January 2013 and bring 160 jobs back to the area. “This announcement is great news for Ohio and its dedicated workers,� Brown said. “I applaud the management team at Esmark, the United Steelworkers, the State of Ohio, and the entire Yorkville community for their efforts.�

Esmark will rename the Yorkville company the Ohio Cold Rolling Company.

The newly-named facility will be majority

owned and operated by Esmark Steel Group. Ohio Coatings Company will become a 50-50 joint venture between Esmark and TCC Steel. Brown worked tirelessly with Esmark, the United Steelworkers, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to move the deal forward. In August, Brown sent a letter to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson, requestSenator S h e r r o d ing the EPA to give full attention to the Brown matter and allow D-Ohio Esmark to enter the Ohio EPA’s Voluntary Assistance Program (VAP).

The completed acquisition will bring the company’s total Ohio investment to $85 million and increase its number of Ohio employees to 350.

The Informer Facebook comments regarding the Vice Presidential Debate The Vice Presidential Debate was Thursday, October 11, at the Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. The Moderator was Martha Raddatz, ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent.

The Informer asked its Facebook friends to comment on our Facebook page about the VicePresidential Debate.

The question was, "What are your thoughts of the Vice Presidential Debate?"

Patti Ryan-Fox "Biden is a twerp for interrupting Ryan."

Georgia Patricia Washburn Johnson "Biden is an ass..."

Erica Davis "Honestly it is very disturbing when Biden interrupts every time than acts like a child when he says he gets 40 second and I get 15 second. I believe Ryan was sincere and polite."

Deb Stilgenbauer Miller "An empty suit in an empty chair = "I wish this debate could be 'fast and furious.'"

Chad Grooms "I have been a college debate advisor for 15 years. Last week I said Mitt Romney won big, tonight Joe Biden won big. He was specific and quoted the 47% comment that Romney made on multiple occasions. What you say behind closed doors at multi-million dollar fundraisers, says a tremendous amount about your true character!"

Gloria Fenton "When u don't have anything to stand on you try to use scare tactics

on your opponent, but I think he ended up looking foolish because he acted like a child."

Joseph Frost "I caught the last half hour.

Now I am NOT a political person. I will NOT vote, but if I did, I would vote for Roseanne Barr. Nah, seriously, I've seen both debates and Romney/Ryan did good. Obama better pull something out of his sleeve or else we'll have a new president in 4 weeks."

Dennis Jolly Proverbs 29:9 Roger Cruser "Ryan could not conjur up any facts when asked specifically by the moderator. He used drinks of water whem he couldn't think of an answer. I'm looking forward to four more years with Obama and Biden."

Nicole Wilson "Both are idiots!!!..."

Bill-Delores McFarland "It was hard for Ryan to get any facts out when he tried he was cut off by Biden. Biden was a typical liberal that he has no respect of other just himself."

Ann Church "I hate this election. Bryan and I are not voting for president because there are no good candidates. He is republican and I am democrat, but we are ashamed of both parties. Sad state we are living in."

Roger Cruser "Well one thing for sure . . . Adams County will go republican even if Jesus Christ was on the democratic side.."

Senior Living Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I recently purchased some yarn on sale and it is "hairy". On the label is a pattern calling for very large knitting needles. I do not knit but I do crochet and was wondering if I have to use a big hook?

Any suggestions? Signed, "Lovely Yarn Dear Lovely: I would suggest comparing the pattern. If the knit pattern states a swatchs hould have X number stitches to the inch, then try out your corchet needles until you find a needle that produces the same number of stitches to the inch. Sometimes patterns are easy to con-

vert and sometimes not.

You might want to try and find a pattern in a book that uses the amount of yarn you purchased if you are not sure of your ability to convert the pattern. I once made an afghan that was a little off the pattern, but I was consistent with each row so it still worked.

People who had not seen the pattern never knew it was a lefty trying to crochet on her own and inventing her own version of stitches.

Dear Miss Needles: I was at a craft fair recently and saw some wonderful sunflowers. They were made of heavy cloth that

kind of looked like burlap but was not. Any ideas what the fabric was? I would like to buy some if I knew what to ask for.

Signed, Sunny Dear Sunny: It sounds like you were looking at sunflowers made using osnaburg fabric. A lot of the crafters who make primitives purchase the fabric. I have seen some cut things.

Do you have a question you would like Miss Needles to answer? If so, e-mail her directly at dearmissneedles @yahoo.com or write to her in care of The Informer.

In the 80's crocheted butterflies and owls and other refrigerator magnets were very popular. The old addage that everything old is new again struck me this week when I saw jewely and earrings touted to be the latest thing that reminded me of the old old pulls we crocheted for window-blind weights and/or pulls. We would crochet single crochet around a ring from a milk cap or a washer, add a string and they were perfect additions which displayed our handi-work and served a purpose.

I remember a few years ago, seeing hats made out of pop cans that had been cut open, flattened and then cut and crocheted together with yarn or string. Over the weekend I saw crochet purses that looked like candy corn and upside down dunce hats at the various fairs and festivals.

To use a pop can to make a purse or hat, take tin snips, start at the opening, snip to the edge and snip off the top. cut down the side and then around so you cut out the bottom. bend flat. These days the majority of soda cans are light and pliable. Take a hole punch and make holes evenly around the can.

Use Caution with Pasture and Frost Parts of the three counties that I cover for OSU Extension have seen some frost as I type this on the second Monday of October.

Traditionally the average first killing frost occurs sometime around the second week of October, so we are right on target.

While some of the tobacco has not yet been harvested, some late vegetables may still be producing, the pastures may be more of concern for the entire area. There are dangers that exist with livestock grazing certain forages when they are frosted on. Some forage species are an annual concern for livestock producers because of the potential for prussic acid poisoning. However, the potential for toxicity in livestock is of wider concern this year because of drought.

A recent article from OSU Extension Forage Specialist Mark Sulc addressed some of the concerns, but it is especially important in a year like 2012. The drought of 2012 has been one of the worst on record, leaving many livestock producers short on hay and silage supplies.

The lack of substantial rainfall, extreme heat and dryness left many producers looking for any alternative forages they could plant to make up for the shortages.

As a result, some chose to grow sudangrass, sudangrass hybrids, forage sorghums or sorghumsudangrass crosses, which can produce excellent forage yields in a short time but are capable of becoming toxic to livestock after a frost event. Keep in mind that Johnsongrass is can be dangerous, too.

These species convert quickly to prussic acid in freeze-damaged plant tissue.

"Animals can die within minutes if they consume forages such as the

sorghum species that contain high concentrations of prussic acid in the plant tissue soon after a frost," Sulc said. "Ruminants are more susceptible to prussic acid poisoning than horses or swine because cud chewing and rumen bacteria help

- After a non-killing frost, do not allow animals to graze for two weeks because the plants usually contain high concentrations of toxic compounds.

Waverly Hills Sanitorum

by Kelly Barrow Waverly Hills Sanitorum, Louisville, Kentucky therealwaverlyhills.com, was built in 1910 as a hospital for patients with tuberculosis. Countless people died excruciatingly painful and drawnout deaths on the premises. Many of the patients were abandoned by family when they became ill. It closed it's doors in 1962 as the epidemic subsided. All the remaining patients were moved to Hazelwood hospital.

It was dusk. We wandered hallway to hallway, floor by floor, taking in the architecture, history, and tales of pain, suffering, and hauntings. When we reached the third floor the guide asked for a maternal volunteer to walk to the end of the long, room lined corridor alone. I was the first to raise my hand. I slowly made my way down the dark corrridor. The sun had set. I reached a point where faint light began to shine in from the open rooms. The hallway veared left. So there I stood with moonlight all around me. Unmoving, listening to and feeling my surroundings. When within seconds a cold chill shot up my spine, my whole body covered in goosebumps and I felt like spiders were wrapping my legs in their webs. That is when all the kids in the tour group began screaming, "Run! There's a man watching you from the doorway." "Behind you." "Run! There is a man crawling around your legs." I slowly turned my head to look for this man but I saw nothing. I looked down because I could still feel something on my legs but I saw nothing. The kids are still yelling for me to run. I stayed put for a few more minutes. Knowing I was in the presence of someone who had past. Begrudgingly, I made my way back down the hallway. The kids were all recounting the same event. The same old man, tall with gray hair and a big nose, in the doorway, staring at me. Not angry, not happy, and not sad. Just staring. The creeper crawling around my legs They couldn't disern features. Just that it was a guy and is body moved in an unhuman nature, or in their words, he moved weird.

The rest of our tour my mind raced so I didn't take in much. I can say that was the night I vowed to capture evidence of hauntings. I can tell the tale but with out evidence it is fairly hard to believe. I was there it changed my perspective. Even if you don't see something with your eyes, your other senses will fill in the blanks.

Breast Cancer in the United States Women In 2012, it is estimated that among U.S. women there will be: 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer (includes new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors, but not recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors).

63,300 new cases of in situ breast cancer (includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), of those, about 85 percent will be DCIS). DCIS is a non-invasive breast cancer and LCIS is a condition that increases the risk of invasive breast cancer.

39,510 breast cancer

deaths.

Men Breast cancer in men is rare, but it does happen. In 2012, it is estimated that among U.S. men there will be: 2,190 new cases of breast cancer.

410 breast cancer deaths.

Warning Signs of Male Breast Cancer Any change in the breast or nipple can be a warning sign of male breast cancer including: Lump, hard knot or thickening in the breast (usually painless, but may be tender) Dimpling, puckering or redness of the skin of the

breast Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple Pulling in of the nipple (inverted nipple) or other parts of the breast Nipple discharge As men tend to have much less breast tissue compared to women, some of

these signs can be easier to notice in men than in women. These symptoms may also be signs of a benign (non-cancer) breast condition. If you notice any of these signs or other changes in your breast or nipple, see your health care provider.

The Breast Cancer Myths Myth A mammogram can cause breast cancer to spread.

The Truth A mammogram, or x-ray of the breast, currently remains the gold standard for the early detection of breast cancer.

Breast compression while getting a mammogram cannot cause cancer to spread.

According to the National Cancer Institute, “The benefits of mammography, however, nearly always outweigh the potential harm from the radiation exposure. Mammograms require very small doses of radiation. The risk of harm from this radiation exposure is extremely low.”

The standard recommendation is an annual mammographic screening for women beginning at age 40. Base your decision on your physician's recommendation and be sure to discuss any remaining questions or concerns you may have with your physician.

Myth If you have a family history of breast cancer, you are likely to develop breast cancer, too.

The Truth While women who have a family history of breast cancer are in a higher risk group, most women who have breast cancer have no family history.

Statistically only about 10% of individuals diagnosed with breast cancer have a family history of this disease.

If you have a first degree relative with breast cancer: If you have a mother, daughter, or sister who developed breast cancer below the age of 50, you should consider some form of regular diagnostic breast imaging starting 10 years before the age of your relative’s diagnosis.

If you have a second degree relative with breast cancer: If you have had a grandmother or aunt who was diagnosed with breast cancer, your risk increases slightly, but it is not in the same risk category as those who have a first degree relative with breast cancer.

If you have multiple generations diagnosed with breast cancer on the same side of the family, or if there are several individuals who are first degree relatives to one another, or several family members diagnosed under age 50, the probability increases that there is a breast cancer gene contributing to the cause of this familial history.

Myth Breast cancer is contagious.

The Truth You cannot catch breast cancer or transfer it to someone

else's body. Breast cancer is the result of uncontrolled cell growth of mutated cells that begin to spread into other tissues within the breast.

However, you can reduce your risk by practicing a healthy lifestyle, being aware of the risk factors, and following an early detection plan so that you will be diagnosed early if breast cancer were to occur.

Myth If the gene mutation BRCA1 or BRCA2 is detected in your DNA, you will definitely develop breast cancer.

The Truth According to the National Cancer Institute, regarding families who are known to carry BRCA1 or BRCA2, “not every woman in such families carries a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, and not every cancer in such families is linked to a harmful mutation in one of these genes.

Furthermore, not every woman who has a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation will develop breast and/or ovarian cancer.But, a woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is about five times more likely to develop breast cancer than a woman who does not have such a mutation.” For people who discover they have the harmful mutation, there are various proactive measures that can be done to reduce risk. These include taking a hormonal therapy called Tamoxifen or deciding to take a surgical prevention approach which is to have bilateral prophylactic mastectomies, usually done with reconstruction. Most women will also have ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as well since there is no reliable screening test for the early stages of developing ovarian cancer.

Myth Antiperspirants and deodorants cause breast cancer.

The Truth Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer.
