By Brit, Informer Sports With all the nasty weather March has had to bring and Spring coming in feeling like Winter it was a nice change on Saturday at the Wilson's Children's Home Annual Easter Egg Hunt and the Manchester Easter Parade and Easter Egg Hunt.

With the temperature around 60 degrees it brought out a huge turnout with a lot of anxious children ready to hunt eggs. Local business's donated very nice raffle gifts for the children and each age category had several.

Thanks to all who donated to bring smiles to many children's faces. Roger Rhonemus as always was the emcee in West Union and A.G. Lockhart in Manchester. The Easter Bunny made rounds giving children hugs and taking pictures. In all you couldn't have asked for a better day for See HUNT on page 2 an Easter Egg Hunt.

The Adams County Travel & Visitors Bureau recently attended the Ohio Appalachian Country "2013 Spotlight on Ohio's Appalachian Country...Art, Music and Travel Show" at the Mall at Tuttle Crossing in Columbus, March 23 The show brings travel destinations from the 32 Ohio Appalachian Counties under one roof to promote travel and tourism to the leisure traveler. There were 30+ exhibitors from around the region in attendance giving new ideas for vacation and getaways in our own backyard.

Authentic Appalachian entertainment,

artisans and crafters performed throughout the day. Wineries from the region provided a tasting area at the event.

“In Columbus the interest in Adams County seemed to be centered on nature, outdoors and hiking, quilt barns and Serpent Mound,” said tourism director Tom Cross.

“Folks were particularly captivated by the photos of Adams County we had displayed.”

The Travel & Visitors Bureau’s mission is to promote Adams County as a destination for travel and tourism. This show is one of the many ways that the mission is being accomplished.

Soybean Grower Program April 2 Last week I announced this upcoming program with some of the soybean specialists from Ohio State. The program will be held at the Ponderosa Steakhouse on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 beginning at 10:00 a.m. With the recent weather, and the extended forecast, I doubt anyone will be doing much field work by next Tuesday.

What a difference a year makes. Last year, field work had started and some planting had been done.

The program will discuss a few things with soybean production including some research that will be done on some local farms in 2013. Dr. Laura Lindsey, Soybean and Small Grain Production Specialist will be discussing the project that will be done with the Ohio Soybean Council to determine yield-limiting factors for Ohio soybean production.

Dr. Terry Niblack, the Department Chair for Plant Pathology at Ohio State University will be discussing the issues with Soybean Cyst Nematode. Terry will cover some of the basics to managing SCN. Dr. Anne Dorrance, Soybean Specialist for OSU/OARDC in Wooster will be covering issues with Charcoal Rot in Soybeans and discussing some planned, local trials with population counts and how it affects yields.

The program will be lunch on your own at Ponderosa. We will meet in the new restaurant. The program begins at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude after lunch around 2:30 p.m. Please RSVP by calling Pam at the Adams Co. Extension Office at 544-2339, Cindy at the Brown Co. Ext. Office at 378-6716, or Tami at the Highland Co. Extension Office at 3931918 by the end of the business day on April 1. If leaving a message please leave your name, phone number and how many people will be attending. You may also register by sending me an e-mail at

dugan.46@osu.edu with the same information.

Managing Your Heifers Recently we concluded the 2013 Beef School held throughout Ohio. We had a good attendance at the local location, North Adams High School, with an average of over 30 producers for the 3 sessions.

The program included several things of interest, with good discussion following each night. One topic that was discussed was the management of replacement heifers. With cattle and feed prices being as high as they currently are, giving these females that were selected to be replace-

DAVID DUGAN Guest Column Extension Educator, ANR and Ohio Valley EERA

ments their best chance is very important.

The discussion about keeping your own heifers or buying replacement heifers can be another discussion, but regardless of which route you take, management is a key.

With the average herd size for beef cows in Ohio being close to 20, the management of heifers can often be a low priority. If you select 10 or 15% for replacements, that would be either 2 or 3 heifers in a herd of 20. For larger producers it is less of an issue because if you are looking at 100 cow herd, keeping 10 to 15 heifers makes it more logical to have these heifers in a separate pasture vs. the 2 or 3 heifers.

Regardless of the numbers, for the good of the heifers, they need to be managed separately. They need more nutrients

than the cows ranging from 4 years old to the more mature cows in the herd. Older cows may need to be treated different than the bulk of the herd, too. That depends on how old “old” is. You will know the older cows that need just a little extra feed. Both the heifers and the old cows tend to not be able to complete with the majority of the cows, so extra management, or TLC, may be needed.

For heifers, the nutrients are needed to continue the growth of the female herself, produce milk for the first calf, and maintain the young female’s body condition so she will breed back in a timely manner.

You are asking her to do quite a bit if feeding her like a mature cow in an environment that she may struggle to compete in, if running with the rest of the herd. If you feed the entire herd to meet the heifer’s nutrient needs with $7 to $8 corn that will get costly in a hurry. The bulk of the herd will not need those additional nutrients if your forages are of decent quality. Again, a forage test will answer how good your forages are, but the mature cow’s nutritional needs are less than the heifer’s.

By keeping these young females, the 2 year olds and maybe even the 3 year olds in a separate pasture may pay dividends in the long run. These young replacements can be managed to do just that, replace the cows that have been removed from the herd. The cost of replacements, either home raised or bought, is too much to not manage them into production for your herd. Yes, it is extra work. Another place to feed and even another bull, but this bull could be the next bull for your cow herd.

In smaller herds, if this just seems to be too much for just a few heifers, there are other options. There are people who develop heifers. For small herds this option may be worth looking into. This option is available here in Southern Ohio.

Non-stranger and stranger rape and sexual assault affect women, children and men of all racial, cultural and economic backgrounds; and sexual violence against the citizens of Adams County continues at an alarming rate and women, children and men suffer multiple types of sexual violence.

This experience can be devastating for not only the survivor, but also for the family and friends of the survivor and to prevent future violation of our citizens, it is critical to foster greater public awareness of the causes and effects of sexual violence and to address this problem on every civic level.

The Adams County Crime Victim Assistance Program’s staff and volunteers are committed to increasing public awareness of sexual violence and its prevalence and to eliminating it through prevention, education and important partnerships have been formed among criminal and juvenile justice agencies, health providers, allied professionals and victim services; and The Board of Commissioners commends the efforts of the Adams County Crime Victim Assistance Program and herby designates the month of April as “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” in Adams County.

Politics & Government Workers To Call ForPassage Of FairMinimum Wage Act New Business Filing Figures forFebruary 2013 Owner of Dempsey’s Restaurant Explains How Paying His Employees a Fair Wage Has Been Good for Business, Calls on His Competitors to do the same.

Thousands of central Ohio workers would receive a raise under new legislation supported by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).

Workers and a local business owner joined Brown today in Columbus to call for passage of the Fair Minimum Wage Act, legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour in three steps and provide the first minimum wage increase to tipped employees in more than 20 years.

“Central Ohioans work hard, play by the rules, and should be able to take care of their families. But too many Ohioans are working harder than ever and barely getting by,” said Brown.

“Working full-time in a minimum wage job in Ohio pays about $16,000 per year— which isn’t much to live on when you’re trying to put food on the table, fill your gas tank, send your children to school, and provide a safe place for them to live. Ensuring a fair wage is good for middle class

families and good for our economy.”

Mark Dempsey, owner of Dempsey’s Restaurant, explained how paying his employees a fair wage has been good for business and will call on his competitors to do the same. Heather Ross, a server at the restaurant will outline how raising the federal minimum wage would allow her to take care of her family while stimulating economic growth. Under Brown’s bill,

Senator S h e r r o Brown D-Ohio

tipped employees would get their first minimum wage raise in more than 20 years.

Brown is the cosponsor of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013, legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage. The bill would: Raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour from its current $7.25—in three steps of 95 cents—then provide for automatic annual increases linked to changes in

the cost of living; Gradually raise the minimum wage for tipped workers—which currently stands at just $2.13 an hour—for the first time in more than 20 years, to 70 percent of the regular minimum wage; and Give more than 30 million American workers would get a raise under Brown’s bill.

Workers who are paid a minimum wage in Ohio earn only $16,000 per year, which is more than $3,000 below the poverty level for a family of three. The Fair Minimum Wage Act would boost the minid mum wage to $21,000, lifting families above the poverty line. According to the National Employment Law Project, the minimum wage has lost more than 30 percent over the last forty years. If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation, it would be worth approximately $10.55 per hour today.

Increasing the minimum wage would boost GDP by nearly $33 billion and generate 140,000 new jobs over the course of three years as workers spend their raises in their local businesses and communities.

Pay Disparities Rampant At JobsOhio Gender pay gap exceeds national average at state's economic development entity In a letter to Governor John Kasich and JobsOhio Director John Minor, The Ohio House Democratic Women’s Caucus is questioning why pay disparities for female employees at JobsOhio are so great. Recent news reports, based on a private audit of the organization, highlighted relatively large salaries at the public-private economic development group. Deeper analysis of the JobsOhio audit provided salary information that was subsequently matched with employees through the JobsOhio website.

It appears that, on average, women make only 60 percent of what their male counterparts earn.

Women make approximately $70,556 per year, while men make $116,774 on average. For quite some time, the salaries of JobsOhio employees were not available to the public. After a prolonged response to the public records’ requests, the figures were finally released. “It is disheartening to see such a substantial gap between what men and women are earning in this organization,” said Rep. Antonio. “Women are earning just 60 cents for every dollar a man earns at JobsOhio.

You can’t tell me that is fair. It

seems that Governor Kasich and his advisers might think economic development is a ‘man’s world.’” The private audit does not specify which employees are earning the respective salaries, leaving six positions in question due to the lack of identifying information. At the time of JobsOhio’s creation, Gov.

Kasich’s office promised Ohioans that the organization would have “a focus on accountability and transparency, which will be an integral part of JobsOhio, from financial records and audits to the names and compensation of all employees.”

JobsOhio employee salaries are not listed through the transparency initiative of the Department of Administrative Services. State Rep. Denise Driehaus will offer an amendment to the state’s operating budget to require that employees’ salaries at JobsOhio be published. “I think it is important that the employees of JobsOhio be held to the same

accountability standards as everyone else,” said Rep. Driehaus.

“We were promised this accountability, and as we have come to find out, it really is necessary to make informed decisions about the direction of our state and its economic development efforts.”

The spotlight has been on JobsOhio for spending several million dollars in taxpayer funds beyond the $1 million that was sanctioned by the General Assembly. Recently, JobsOhio turned over financial records to the State Auditor’s office to comply with a subpoena seeking a detailed report of how exactly the organization was able to siphon several million taxpayer dollars from public coffers.

JobsOhio has also now promised to repay all public money they have received to date.

The move is seen as suspicious by some who contend that the organization is simply trying to appease critics in order to avoid further scrutiny of questionable financing methods. Ironically, the money that will be used to repay the public funds in question comes from the lease of public funds-- state liquor profits. State Republican leaders and Gov. John Kasich have vehemently opposed efforts to review JobsOhio’s financial records.

Secretary of State Jon Husted announced that 7,097 new entities filed to do business in Ohio in February 2013.

These numbers are down slightly compared to February 2012, in which 7,656 new entities filed with the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State’s office has assisted with 15,157 new business filings to date in 2013 (January-February). This is an increase from the same time period last year, in which there were 14,596 new business filings.

Veterans Legislation Representative Brad Wenstrup (OH-02), a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and combat veteran, introduced legislation to help veterans gain access to vital job training programs.

Currently, homeless veterans are eligible for job training and placement services under the Homeless Veteran Reintegration Program (HVRP). Unfortunately, the U.S. Department of Labor has determined that some homeless veterans are not eligible to participate in this existing program.

Specifically, the Department of Labor has concluded veterans who are participating in another program, known as the HUD-VASH voucher program, are not considered truly “homeless”, and are therefore ineligible for the very programs that will help them reenter the workforce and get them back on their feet.

Our veterans have sacrificed deeply for our country.

We should not let Washington bureaucrats stand in the way of

assisting those who need our help the most,” said Rep. Wenstrup. “This legislation will help homeless veterans find housing and meaningful employment to lift themselves out of poverty and into selfsufficiency, free from government dependence.

House Veterans’ Affairs Committee Chairman Jeff Miller said, “It is simply unconscionable that the

independence. It’s an honest solution to a pressing problem, and I commend Congressman Wenstrup for introducing this bill.”

Background: The Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH) partner to provide permanent, supportive housing and treatment services for homeless veterans.

Adams County Senior Citizens REMEMBER THE HEALTH FAIR this Saturday at the Adams County Regional Medical Center in Seaman from 8 a.m. to Noon. Many tests and screenings are being offered at a very low price.

Day of Event Pricing is still offered at a savings, if you haven’t already pre-registered.

For more information, give them a call at (937) 386-3400.

April Fool’s Day was this past Monday. Did you ever wonder how this particular little tradition started? Folklore suggests that April Fool’s Day, sometimes called All Fool’s Day, started when the calendar we all use today, the Gregorian Calendar, was reformed under Charles IX around 1582, when the New Year was changed to January 1st. Previously, the new year had been celebrated for eight days beginning on March 25th and culminated on April 1st. Communication being what it was back then, (without phones or the internet), news traveled slowly and many people continued to celebrate the old way, making “those in the know” ridicule those “foolish” enough to continue celebrating, either because they had not received the news or just continued to celebrate anyway. Over time, simple pranks and jokes have become the “norm” for this un-official holiday, to simply have a laugh or get a laugh.

And that is no “fooling”!

Veterans Corner - Baseball and War when the Braves traded him to the New York Giants. He played some 149 games for the Giants over the next two and one half years. He participated in the World Series for both 1923 and 1924.

After seventeen years in the major leagues, Hank Gowdy ended his career as a major leaguer in 1930; however, he went to serve as a major league Guest Column on coach through 1948 (except for Veterans Corner 1943 and 1944) for three differteams, the Braves, the Reds, Tony A. Blevins, ent and the Giants.

CVSO With America once more at war, Gowdy volunteered for WW II in 1942 but he was rejected; then in 1943 the Army took him in. He was commisJune 1, 1917, Gowdy signed up to sioned as a Captain at the age of serve in the Ohio National Guard. 53.

Hank Dowdy is the only major Infantry Regiment and became part of the famed “Rainbow league ballplayer to have served Division,” the Fighting 42nd , for in the armed forces in both World which he carried the colors. War I and World War II. The General Pershing labeled them the baseball diamond at Fort Benning “Rainbow Division” because they is still called “Hank Gowdy had been surrounded by actual Field.”

Ironically, Gowdy holds the rainbows on their way to and during the heavy combat they saw in record for the most unsuccessful France. They were one of the first attempts (17) into the Hall of American divisions to reach the Fame. He passed away on August Western Front. They fought side 1, 1966, in Columbus, Ohio, at by side with the French in “trench the age of 76.

With April comes the opening day of baseball season. And, since Monday was that day in Cincinnati, Ohio, I thought it might be appropriate to talk about an Ohio veteran of WW I and WW II who was also a hero of baseball.

Henry “Hank” Gowdy was born on August 24, 1889, in Columbus, Ohio, to hard-working, modest parents. Gowdy enjoyed participating in football, basketball, and baseball while he attended elementary and high school in Columbus, Ohio, but his favorite seems to have been baseball.

First, he convinced the Columbus Senators (semi pros) to let him tryout. Next, he signed up to play professional ball with Lancaster in the Ohio State League. Then, in 1909, Scout Billy Doyle of the New York Giants purchased his contract for $40.00 from Lancaster. For several months of further experience, Gowdy was assigned to the Dallas Texas League. At six foot two and 180 pounds, he became a team leader even though he batted only .214. Early in the 1911 season, he was traded to the Boston Braves; most of his time was spent improving his skills as a catcher for the Buffalo Bisons. It was during this time that Gowdy caught the eye of veteran manager George Stallings, the son of a Confederate General.

Stallings became one of Gowdy’s most fervent supporters; he saw in Gowdy a man with baseball talent and leadership skills. With the Bisons in 1913, Gowdy batted over .300 and served in the vital role of catcher. When Stallings left for the Braves, he soon recruited Gowdy for his new squad.Together, over the next few years Stallings and Gowdy helped

to rebrand the Braves as a team to be respected.

Gowdy, however, was very patriotic, and he soon traded his baseball uniform for a military uniform. He became the very first major league player to enlist in the Armed Forces during WW I. On

In April 2013 this country will recognize the 45th anniversary of the passage of the landmark Fair Housing legislation enacted in 1968.

Cuffs & Collars Central Ohio Individuals in Ohio often check deer as landowners or tenants who do not qualify as either. To reduce the number of violators in Marion County, Wildlife Officer Chad Grote uses the deer harvest records and the Marion County Auditors website to verify that deer are properly checked. In February, state wildlife officers Justus Nethero and Chad Grote investigated an individual that checked a deer as a tenant in Marion County who did not meet the requirements.

A tenant is a person who resides on the land for which they pay rent, and whose annual income is primarily derived from agricultural production on that land. The officers determined that the indi-

vidual did not rent the property, and his main income came from his job at a local business. He did not meet any other license exemptions and had been hunting without a license or deer permit on and off for five years. The individual told the officers that he only hunted on his father-inlaw’s property; he knew he was not considered a landowner but thought he qualified as a tenant. The officers explained the definition of a tenant, and the individual

agreed he did not meet any of the requirements but thought that as a son-in-law he should be included in the exceptions of needing a license.

In Ohio, resident landowners, spouses and their children are not required to have a hunting license, fur taker permit, either-sex deer permit, antlerless deer permit, spring or fall turkey permit or Ohio Wetland Habitat Stamp when hunting or trapping on land they own. Sons-in-law do not fall into this category. The individual was issued a summons for taking a deer without a valid permit and was found guilty in Marion Municipal. He paid $138 in fines and court costs and forfeited the deer to the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Craft Project/Prairie Points

This week I wanted to show how to add 3-D elements to your quilt blocks and projects. Recently I made a cat and used praire points for the ears. Take a square of Fabric, fold it in half, then fold corners down to middle. Base a stitch along the bottom to father to make the ear as ear like or not as you like.

Applique a circle over the bottom gathered rought ends of the ears and you have the ears attached and they are 3-D. Leave the top unattached so they stick out from your project. Try some. Does anyone have an easier way to make these? If so, send me a letter and I will feature you in an upcoming article.

Dear Miss Needles

Dear Miss Needles: Where did the word for needle come from? Sign me Curious Dear Curious: There are several different books that claim different origins. I tend to believe my Webster's which says the word has been around since the 12th century and means to sew. It is interesting if you think about crochet hooks, knitting needles and sewing needles all having the same shape, all dealing with yarn or thread but uses and varietys

abound. I hope you give some form of needling a try.

Dear Miss Needles: I would like to learn to do Needle Punch Embroidery.

Any suggestions? Sign me Judy Dear Judy: The needle is called a "Punch Needle" or "Russian Punch Needle" and basically it is a needle that allows you to make loops of fabric or yarn to fill in a design or make your project 3-dimesnional. I bought an antique rug

once that I thought was hooked and it was actually a needlepunched piece. With so many primitive rugs, candle mats, and bags popular, this is a great time to learn. The libraries are a great source of craft books as well as on-line. Good luck and send us a picture of your completed project.

Use Safe Preparation Methods to Cook Eggs Eggs can be enjoyed as a protein source for breakfast or as part of lunch or dinner. Eggs can be prepared using several different cooking methods like poaching, scrambling, hard-cooking in water, or they can be included as an ingredient in dishes like breads, casseroles, or cookies. Make sure eggs are always cooked thoroughly and that yolks are firm. For casseroles and other dishes containing egg, cook these dishes to a safe minimum temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a food thermometer into the center of the food product to measure the internal temperature.

Recently, a new technique for making hard-boiled/hardcooked eggs is circulating throughout various internet and social media sites. The information appearing on these sites provides instructions for preparing hard-cooked eggs in muffin tins in the oven. Many of the instructions claim that using the oven to hard-cook eggs is faster and will allow you to peel the shell off the egg more easily.

However, there are several concerns about this preparation

method that might have you thinking twice before using the oven to make hard-cooked eggs.

LOCAL SPORTS Boys All Star Game Girls All Star Game

By Brit, Informer Sports With any All-Star game you know you are going to see so much potential putting that many good players on one good team against the same kind of team and the All-Star girls didn't disappoint. Anyone that has followed basketball this season would know that North Adams Emily Fite, playing for the White team would be a force to be reckoned with no matter who they put against her. Emily stole the ball numerous times for fast breaks, she drove the lane though the defense or would pull up for a jumper which landed her 24 points on the night.

Lynchburg-Clay Emma Setty also for the

White team hit a hot streak in the second half contributing under the basket rebounding putting the ball up and popping jumpers giving her 10 of her 12 points in the second half. The RED team held their own with Ripley's Jessica Garrison hitting 2 three's in the first half and 1 in the second giving her high scorer for the Red team with 9 points, but following behind her 3 of her teammates all had 8 points each.

Emily Turner Eastern, Ashley Scoggins Fayetville and Brianna Payne Ripley. An enjoyable fun spirited game of friends playing friends was a nice game to watch with the White team coming out on top 60-45.

Slam-Dunk Contest

By Brit, Informer Sports 12 young Men competed in the Slam Dunk Contest which always seems to be the most entertaining part of the night.

After a lot of really nice dunks and some mediocre ones too Jaylan Williams from Ripley High School finally made an amazing dunk on his third and final attempt to bring home the trophy.

Hotshot Winner

By Brit, Informer Sports In a last minute change Gage Carraher enrolled in the Hot Shot Shootout against five other contestants. Eastern's Chase Lawson and White Oak's Gage tied with 7 three's causing both to shoot another round.

Chase hit 9, but the last shot was not counted due to buzzer going off before the release leaving him with 8.

Gage shot his round making 9 leaving him them winner of the boys round.

The two winners Emma Setty and Gage competed again with her hitting only 3 and Gage 6 making him the overall winner of men and women as well.

By Brit, Informer Sports For the first time in 30 years of C103 putting on the All-Star game there has never been any game go into overtime in the 30 year history, but to follow the high energy of the players and cheerleaders and the amazing up beat percussion show plus a slam dunk contest that always gets the crowd going, West Union High School was full of excitement and fun.

The first 5:00 minutes was so quick pace you almost couldn't keep up. North Adams Sheridan Carroll came out on fire for the Red team hitting three shots to give him 6 points in the first 5:00 minutes. Lynchburg-Clay Alex Smith put up 16 points for the Red team on the night. Followed by Peebles Matt MCAdow and S.Carroll to both finish with 10 points each.

White team Fairfield Queintin Williams hit 10 points in the first half plus every player one the White team scored at least one basket

throughout the game. Red jumped ahead at the half 43-28, but White team White Oak Doc Seip added 11 to the board and Manchester's Braxton Gaffin put in 10 for the night. White team made a comeback and left it tied up 7474, so instead of making everyone stay even later C-103 decided in a jump ball with Sudden Death whoever made first basket wins. The Boys touched the ball on the way up and had to re-do another Jump Ball. White team got ball with North Adams Seth Sparks wide open he was fouled, but missed foul shot. Red team shot miss and the white team back down miss shot rebound and Timeout was called. White team threw ball in to Seip who drove in for a reverse, behind his head layup that rolled in giving the White team the win 76-74 giving a piece of history to write in the books.

Record Attendance, First Overtime and first split the pot given back to the scholarship fund. It was truly a successful night!

Scrambling for Cash

By Brit, Informer Sports Kelley Rowe Lewis had the winning admissions ticket to bring her out on the floor to be blind folded spun around and have to craw around to see how many of the $103 one dollar bills she could get in a very short time. Kelley ended up scrambling to find $55 of the $103.

Girls Hotshot Winner

By Brit, Informer Sports Seven All-Star Seniors competed in the Ladies Hot Shot Shootout with everyone hitting a few, but Lynchburg-Clay's Emma Setty came out on top making 7 from behind the line. C103 presented her along with her mother Kara Malott Setty with a very nice Plaque. Emma went on to compete against the winner of the Boys Shootout.
