2016 Brown County Fair comes to an end BY Wayne Gates The 165th Brown County Fair is in the books. “It was a great success this year,” said Senior Fair Board Secretary Juanita Barricklow. “We had the third largest gate receipts in our history, despite Wednesday being a washout.” Rain and cold temperatures on Sept. 28 held down attendance and even forced the cancellation of the cheerleading competition. “We sold lots of season passes which made a big difference. We sold over $20,000 worth of those. That shows that the Brown County community really embraces the fair,” Barricklow said. She also took time to thank one of the biggest supporters of the 2016 fair. “The Mt. Orab Auto Mall sponsored the talent show and Sawyer Brown, and Josh Williams of the auto mall was one of the talent show judges, so we would like to thank them for their commitment to the fair,” Barricklow said. Hannah Kaltenbach of Batavia was the winner of the 2016 talent show, winning $1000. Finishing in second place was Timmy ‘Elvis’

Coroner appeals ruling on Goldson investigation BY Wayne Gates Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau is appealing the ruling that she may not investigate the death of Zachary Goldson any further and must personally pay almost $10,000 in attorneys fees and court costs. Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler made that ruling on Sept. 8. Gusweiler also prohibited Varnau from changing her ruling on Goldson’s mode, manner and cause of death. A notice of appeal was filed with the Ohio 12th District Court of Appeals on Sept. 12. Gusweiler issued a stay of his ruling pending the appeal on Sept. 14, writing that “The temporary orders issued by this court during the pendency of the case remain in full force and effect.” Those temporary orders include prohibiting Varnau from conducting any further investigation into Goldson’s death. The case will be proceeding on the regular calendar of the appeals court, which means that a ruling is not expected until Spring or even Summer of 2017. Dr. Varnau did not file for re-election for office and
will leave her position on January 1. Gusweiler’s ruling comes after a nearly two year battle with current and former members of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office over Goldson’s death. Goldson died in custody on October of 2013. He was found hanging in his cell. Varnau ruled the death a homicide in December of 2013. After a lengthy investigation, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation concluded that Goldson’s death a suicide in December of 2014. A Brown County Grand Jury did not indict anyone in connection with Goldson’s death. In January of 2015, five current and former members of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent Varnau from opening a coroner’s inquest into Goldson’s death. That request was granted, along with a ruling by Gusweiler in April of 2015 that the coroner may not continue her investigation pending a final decision. A hearing on the matter was held in March of this year, with Gusweiler ruling on the case on Sept. 8.

tunity to talk to Rick, ask him about the story. There is so much history in Clermont County. Go to the library and get the history books on Clermont County and you will learn how Owensville was called Boston at one time. The farmers market in Bethel on Friday evenings from 4 PM till 7 PM has been good this year. The gardens are starting to die out – the tomatoes I planted in April are still having some green tomatoes and the ones I planted in June are done. On Sunday after church I went to the Nause for their family reunion. Ruth Ann and I were invited several years ago to attend. This is a fine family. Jerry and I grew up about a mile apart. They lived in Newtonsville and I lived a mile above Newtonsville. Their dad was a hard worker and was like my dad. There was a big crowd there and some of the kids I haven't seen for many years. Jerry and his wife have a beautiful home and farm. Jerry has a sawmill and saws Cedar lumber for me and does a fine job. They have a couple big dogs that will welcome you. Jerry's wife, Sandy, does ceramics and has a bunch of molds and a kiln to fire them. After they cool you can paint them. Sandy holds classes on Wednesday from 12 noon till 8 PM so if you are interested give her a call. Her phone number is 513-7243175.
GEORGE ROOKS Howdy folks-I went down to the New England Club last Monday to see a friend. He could fix big equipment and when they were building the dam here at East Fork he did a lot of that work. He is a special friend. On Wednesday I went to the PERI meeting. This is a union and a feller talked about the health Insurance we have and how it has changed. I have been working in the carpenter shop building items for the craft shows coming up. The first one is November 5 at Russellville. The next one is in Goshen on November 19 at the Goshen high school. Both of these craft shows are good ones. Both of the shows have food. The Goshen Lions Club has the one on November 19 with a pancake breakfast then lunch. I have been making the little wren birdhouse. This is different from any others I have ever made. It is smaller and has a small hole for the bird to get in. The little town on the Ohio River, Moscow, held their celebration for 200 years. This is something to celebrate.

On Monday, September 26, there was a Lion’s Zone meeting at the Goshen Lions Club held in the Goshen church. Ron Ryerson and I attended this zone meeting. There were folks from several Lions clubs there. It was a fine meeting. The Goshen Lions furnished the dinner and by golly it was as usual wonderful. They have some excellent cooks like Ruth Ann. Their minister belongs to the Lions Club and he is a very special fellow. I need to go have the truck serviced this morning. I try to have it serviced every 3000 miles so I can keep it in good running shape. I talked to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop in Afton this morning. He said a young feller got an eight point buck deer last Saturday, the first day of bow deer season. He said there were several does harvested as well. The fish are biting good. The milkman that fishes a lot said every fifth Crappie caught is a keeper. They need to be 9 inches long before you can legally keep them. Mike said the fishermen are catching lots of stripers some weighing as much as 7 to 8 pounds. The musky are biting good with some 40 inches long. Folks that is a big fish! It takes good tackle to land one of these. He said the channel catfish are still being caught along with carp and bluegills. The Crappie and bluegill were Ruth Ann and my favorite fish to eat. I always filleted the fish. When our girls were small and we had fish, Ruth Ann would pick out the bones. I said I would learn to fillet the fish or quit fishing so the first few had some bones but I learned how to do it. Now Mr. Chester as I
write this is laying in my chair sleeping. The Brown County fair is this week so I would like to go up on Thursday for senior citizens day. I understand the Kinner Express will be playing in the Flora hall at 3 PM. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . .

Rockets rise to 6th in Div. VI, Region 24 standings Fayetteville-Perry on top in OVAL with win over MVCA BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
Fayetteville-Perry head football coach Kevin Finch knew coming into the 2016 season that defeating Miami Valley Christian Academy would be one of his Rockets' toughest challenges in their quest to repeat as Ohio Valley Athletic League champions, and
on Sept. 30 at Fayetteville the Rockets moved one huge step closer to bringing home their second consecutive league crown by defeating MVCA 2413. With the week six win, the Rockets rose to an overall record of 4-2 and a 2-0 record in OVAL play, climbing to the top in league standings. “Its always interesting

how things will go during fair week but the players responded against a very good MVCA team,” said Finch. “The defensive and offensive lines played very well on both sides of the ball. At one point in the second quarter we got a big defensive stand on a 4th and goal from the two-yard line and turned right around and punched inn a 20-play drive that ate up most of the seven minutes remaining in the half. Chase Jester added three more touchdowns on the season. We now have to refocus for Manchester week.” The Rockets are on their home field for the third straight week to host the Manchester Greyhounds (1-5) in their third OVAL contest of the season on Oct. 7. After trailing MVCA 70 at the end of the first quarter, it was a touchdown by Jester followed by a successful two-point conversion to give the Rockets an 8-7 lead that would hold out until halftime. The Rockets relied on their fierce running game to outscore MVCA 16-6 in the second half of play to secure an 11-point victory. Of the Rockets' 249 yards of total offense, 241 were rushing yards that resulted from outstanding blocking from Tay Call, Andy Smith, Garhett

The Western Brown Broncos remained on top in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division standings with a recent 1-0 win over Norwood and ties against Goshen (0-0) and Batavia (11). The win over Norwood, along with the two ties, put the Broncos at a 6-0-1 mark in league play while they remained unbeaten on the season with an overall record of 10-0-3. Of their 13 games this season, the Broncos have held opponents scoreless in 10 games as sophomore goalkeeper Sam Linkous continues to push the bar higher as the school's record holder for single-season shutouts. On the offensive end, junior Austin Schweitzer ranks among the Broncos' scoring
leaders with 11 goals on the season, while also performing well for the Broncos have been sophomore forward Chase Easterling, sophomore midfielder Austin Coffey, and junior midfielder Colston Roades. Coffey scored the gamewinning goal in the Broncos' Sept. 1, 1-0 league win at New Richmond, marking the New Richmond Lions' only league loss of the season. On the defensive end, Linkous has been assisted by some skilled defenders such as sophomore Wesley O'Hara, senior midfielder Gabe O'Hara, and others. The Broncos were scheduled to take on New Richmond at Western Brown High School Oct. 4, and they are back in action on their home field Oct. 6 for a league bout against the Amelia Barons. The Broncos are scheduled to face Ross in a road game on Oct. 10.

Broncos fall to New Richmond, 43-20 Lions rise to 5-1 with win at Western Brown BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
Struggles continued for the Western Brown Broncos on Sept. 30, as they suffered their fifth consecutive loss while battling their way through a grueling regular season schedule.

Volleyball season winding down for Lady Jays Ripley falls to Peebles, 3-0 BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
Inexperience at the varsity level has made winning difficult for this year's Ripley-Union-LewisHuntington volleyball squad that consists of only one senior. The dedication of firstyear head coach Kirsten Grant and the hard work by many of the varsity players has led to some improvements for this year's Lady Jays, but their efforts have yet to show in the “wins and losses” category. The Lady Jays have certainly taken their share of lumps as they have ventured through an arduous regular season schedule against more experienced teams. Maybe the varsity experience gained will not show up as wins this season, but it will certainly help in seasons to come. The Lady Jays played host to the Peebles Lady Indians for a Southern Hills League Athletic Conference Division I match on Monday, Oct. 3, and it was the Lady Indians topping Ripley in a match that lasted three sets to claim the victory. The Lady Jays suffered a 25-15 loss in set one to start the match. After trailing 16-8 earlier in the set, the Lady Jays rallied back to cut the Peebles lead to 21-15 with a service point by sophomore Carlee Daulton. The Lady Indians ended the set on a 4-0 run to seal a 10-point victory and take a 1-0 lead in the match. Following a set of Peebles' errors to give the Lady Jays a 2-1 lead in set two, it was an ace by Ripley junior Andrea Preston that lifted Ripley to a 3-1 advantage. The Lady Indians battled back to tie the set at four apiece, and would go on to hold a narrow lead over the Lady Jays later in the set. A service point by Ripley junior Whitney King would tie the score at seven apiece, but then it was the Lady Indians capitalizing on Ripley errors to take a 20-14 lead in set two. The Lady Indians went on to win the second set 25-18 to hold a 2-0 lead in the match. The Lady Indians scored the first two points in set three to take an early 2-0 lead, but the lead was cut to one as Daulton rose for a kill. The game was tied at two apiece after the Lady Indians failed to return a Preston serve, and the Lady Jays took a 3-2 lead off an ace by Preston. Another ace by Preston lifted the Lady Jays to a 42 lead.

Ripley’s Andrea Preston sets up a teammate for a kill in the Lady Jays’ Oct. 3 match against Peebles.
The Lady Jays cruised to a 6-2 lead behind the service of Preston early in set three, with the Ripley junior serving out three aces in the run. The Lady Jays' lead in set three was short-lived, as the Lady Indians came storming back once again to quickly tie the set at six apiece. The Lady Jays were able to climb back on top to take a 10-7 lead, but again it was the visiting Lady Indians rallying back with a 5-0 run to take a 15-10 lead. The Lady Indians went on to outscore the Lady Jays 10-3 to close out set three with a 25-13 victory and cap off the 3-0 match win. The final portion of their regular season schedule gets no easier for the Lady Jays, as they wrap up their regular season with five
road matches and one home matches. The Lady Jays were scheduled to take on the Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs in a Southern Hills Athletic Conference match on the road Oct. 4, and they were on the road again Oct. 4 to face the Bethel-Tate Lady Tigers in a non-league match. The Lady Jays are scheduled to take on the Eastern Lady Warriors on Oct. 6 at Eastern High School before hosting Mason County, KY in their final home game of the season on Monday, Oct. 10. The Lady Jays will close out their regular season schedule with league matches on the road against Peebles (Oct. 11) and the defending SHAC champion North Adams Green Devils in a road match on Oct. 13.
The Ohio High School Athletic Association has revamped several sport administration responsibilities to better utilize staff and areas of expertise, OHSAA interim commissioner Dave Gray has announced. The announcement comes after months of internal meetings that identified potential changes among administrators, while also clarifying duties for the OHSAA staff who assist those administrators in the day-to-day facilitation of those sports and tournament. With the addition of lacrosse, the OHSAA now has more sanctioned sports (26) than full-time staff members (24). Those staff members serve 821 high schools and 895 7th/8th grade schools. “We strongly believe that these changes will not only help our internal work flow and efficiency, but also better serve our member schools, too,” Gray said. “We have identified several ways in which our adminis-
trative staff can be better utilized in their areas of expertise, while also better defining the overall staff duties to meet the needs of our member schools, tournament managers and many others.” The changes are mainly in the “team” sports, as Assistant Commissioner Jerry Snodgrass will take over four more sports, including field hockey, volleyball, ice hockey and lacrosse. He will also remain the administrator for soccer, basketball, base-
ball and softball. Of note, the OHSAA defines team sports as those in which teams advance on a bracket, while “individual” sports as those in which student/athletes can advance in the tournament regardless of his/her team’s placement. Assistant Commissioner Beau Rugg will continue as the sport administrator for football and wrestling, while also overseeing the state’s officiating program that includes nearly 15,000 licensed officials.

The risk factors for breast cancer Cancer is a formidable foe. Among women, no cancer poses a greater threat than breast cancer, which the World Health Organization reports is the most often diagnosed cancer both in the developed and developing worlds. The following are the established risk factors for breast cancer. · Gender: Being female is the single biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. Men can get breast cancer, but the risk for men is substantially smaller than it is for women. According to Breastcancer.org, roughly 190,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year in the United States alone. · Age: The American Cancer Society notes
that about two out of every three invasive breast cancers are found in women ages 55 and older, whereas just one out of every eight invasive breast cancers are found in women younger than 45. The WHO notes that instances of breast cancer are growing in developing countries, citing longer life expectancies as one of the primary reasons for that increase. · Family history: According to the WHO, a family history of breast cancer increases a woman's risk factor by two or three. Women who have had one firstdegree female relative, which includes sisters, mothers and daughters, diagnosed with breast cancer are at double the risk for breast cancer
than women without such family histories. The risk of developing breast cancer is five times greater for women who have two first-degree relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. · Menstrual history: Women who began menstruating younger than age 12 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life than women who began menstruating after their twelfth birthdays. The earlier a woman's breasts form, the sooner they are ready to interact with hormones and chemicals in products that are hormone disruptors. Longer interaction with hormones and hormone disruptors increases a woman's risk for breast cancer.
· Lifestyle choices: A 2005 comparative risk assessment of nine behaviors and environmental factors published in the U.K. medical journal The Lancet found that 21 percent of all breast cancer deaths across the globe are attributable to alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity. Women can do nothing to control breast cancer risk factors like gender, age and family history, but making the right lifestyle choices, including limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and living an active lifestyle, can reduce the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer.
tissue has ducts, but only few, if any, lobules. That's because men do not have enough female hormones to promote the growth of breast cells. Breast cancer is
about 100 times less common among men than among women. Only about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year. But
men who feel lumps or other anomalies in the area around the nipple should consult their physicians.
Did you know.... Men have a small amount of breast tissue, and that means they can be affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, men's breast
Preparing for your mammography visit · Choose a reputable and certified facility. Select a radiology center that is certified by the FDA, which means it meets current standards and is safe. Many women also prefer to select a facility that is covered by their health insurance. Plans usually allow for one mammogram screening per year. · Time your visit. Schedule the mammogram to take place one week after your menstrual period if you have not reached menopause. Breasts are less likely to be tender at this time. · Dress for the occasion. Two-piece ensembles enable you to only remove your shirt and bra for the examination. A blouse that opens in the front may be optimal. Some facilities require you to wear a paper gown for the exam. · Watch your grooming practices. You'll be advised to abstain from wearing powder, perfume, deodorant, ointment, and lotions on the chest or around the area. These substances may look like an abnormalities on the mammogram image, potentially resulting in false positive diagnoses. · Take an OTC pain medication. Mammograms can put pressure on the breasts, which creates discomfort. Breasts are compressed between a plastic plate and the imaging machine. This spreads out the tissue and helps create a clearer picture. If your breasts are tender, medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen taken an hour before the appointment may ease discomfort. · Expect a short visit. Mammogram appointments typically last around 30 minutes. The technician will mark any moles or birthmarks around the breasts so they can be ignored on the imaging. You'll be asked to hold your breath as the images are taken. If the images are acceptable, you are free to go. But new images may be needed in some instances.

Did you know.... Many abnormalities found on a mammogram are not necessarily cancer, but rather are benign conditions like calcium deposits or dense areas in the breast. If the radiologist or a doctor notes areas of concern on a mammogram, The Mayo Clinic says further testing may be needed. This can include additional mammograms known as compression or magnification views, as well as ultrasound imaging. If further imaging is not effective, a biopsy, wherein a sample of breast tissue is taken, will be sent to a laboratory for testing.

SB Warriors capture 35-2 win over Devils First-year varsity football team claims second victory BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
Much improvement has come for the Southern Buckeye Warriors high
Keegan Collins runs for a big gain in wide open field during the SB Warriors’ Sept. 30 win over the North Adams Green Devils.
school football team over the past five weeks as they make their way through their first varsity season. On Sept. 30, the Warriors claimed their second victory of the season by topping the visiting North Adams Green Devils 35-2 at Koehler Field. It was another excellent team effort by the Warriors that led them to th eir second victory of the season over the Green Devils with outstanding performances by the offensive and defensive linemen, along with some impressive offensive performances by players such as freshman quarterback Keegan Collins and senior wide receiver Quentin Hiser. Hiser would pull down three touchdown receptions in the Sept. 30 win, all TD passes delivered by Collins. Linebacker Kade Houston had anothe r
impressive night on the defensive end, putting pressure on the Devil offense throughout the night. “What I'm seeing is a lot of improvement each week out of the offensive line and defensive line. If the line is not doing its job, nothing else is going to work,” said SB Warriors' head coach Chris Tomlin. “Offensively, we really push them hard in practice. Our run-blocking was really working on Friday night, and our running game really opened up our passing game. Quentin Hiser played 'lights out' on offense, and I would have to say Kade Houston is once again the defensive player of the game in my eyes.” The Warriors faced fourth down and goal after marching to the North Adams 15 yard line off a seven-yard carry by Trevor Stamper and a carry of around 40 yards

by Dylan Lainhart. The Warriors were held to third down just inside the North Adams 15 yard line, where a pass by Collins would lead to a touchdown reception by Hiser to give the Warriors a 6-0 lead with 9:48 to go in the first quarter. After holding the North Adams defense scoreless in the next drive, the Warriors capped off their next offensive drive with a short touchdown carry
by Collins on the quarterback keeper. Following the successful kick for the extra point by Matthew Brown, the Warriors held a 13-0 lead with 1:49 remaining in the first period. The third Warrior touchdown of the night was a another reception by Hiser on fourth down to aid the Warriors to a 20-0 lead. The SB Warriors rose to a 2-3 overall record on
the season with the Sept. 30 win, and they plan to take on Landmark Christian in their next outing which will take place on Oct. 14. In the meantime, the Warr iors will continue to put in hard work on the practice field with the goal of continuous improvement. “This is a young team, but we're progressing and that's what is important,” said Tomlin.
