Fair Royalty chosen for 2016 BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Fair is underway. About 180 floats proceeded through Georgetown Monday evening to entertain the public with costumes, demonstrations and candy for the kids. The rain earlier in the day had given way to sunshine and perfect temperatures. Local churches, civic groups businesses and schools all participated, as well as 4-H groups and others associated with the fair. And no Brown County
Fair parade in an election year would be complete without candidates marching and waving to the crowd. Senior Fair Board Mitch Erwin said he was pleased with the first day of the fair. “The weather didn’t cooperate all day but for the most part it was excellent. We had a very nice crowd and the parade went well,” Erwin said. “Hopefully if the weather continues to cooperate we will have good attendance all week long.” 4-H Educator and County Extension Director Christy Clary also said that she was pleased with the first day of the fair. “Things are going well. This week is the culmination of all the hard work the kids have put in. They

are all working together and moving things along.” Following the parade and the performance of local high school bands in the main ring, it was time for the Junior Fair King and Queen contest.
Four young men and ten young women competed to be the 2016 fair royalty. “It was a great contest. The kids represented themselves and their chapters and clubs well,” Clary said.
Jacob Clubb of the Red Oak Ranchers 4-H Club was named the 2016 Brown County Fair King. The first runner up was William Culver, the second runner up was J.W. Curtis and the third runner
up was Kyle Burbage. Madison Layton of the Brown County K-9 Renegades 4-H Club is the 2016 Brown County Fair Queen.

Troop Box Ministry still going strong after 15 years BY Martha B. Jacob The News Democrat The Troop Box Ministry was founded in the year 2001 by Hamersville resident Diane Lawrence and her sister Jean Johnston. It is a 501C-3 non-profit organization located in Brown County, but is not limited to Brown County residents, according to Lawrence. “We regularly ship care packages to any soldier that we can get names and addresses for,” Lawrence said. “We get our names from our local friends, families, neighbors and a lot of the names and addresses come from soldiers that we’re already serving. They send names of their buddies already serving with them who have no other contacts. “We ship to our men and women from the first month we receive their names and addresses until they come home. Many of the soldiers we have followed from their basic training through 4-6 deployments.” Lawrence said that in the Troop Box Ministry’s 15 years it has not failed to
ship out care packages to the soldiers on a monthly basis. The organization ships things to the soldiers like most personal car products to shirts, sox, underclothes, (helmet liners, gloves, neck gators,) for winter’s cold. “We also send the soldiers snacks of all sorts, can foods, canned fruit, dried fruit, candy, gum, puzzle books, playing cards and hand held games,” Lawrence said. “Most everything we send is already shippable. “We are here to try and do our small part to help make their stay overseas more comfortable.” She added that Troop Box Ministry has many, many volunteers who make all the packing and mailing’s possible. Friends, local families and area churches volunteer to help as well as make donations. The group has served hundreds of service men and women through the years and has sent supplies to them every month since their deployment. “We are currently involved with several

Paving projects to affect highway traffic
A resurfacing and bridge repair project will soon be under way on U.S. Route 52 in Brown County as contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation – District 9 begin construction later this week. Crews from the Brown County Asphalt will be paving U.S. 52 from Hanover Street in Ripley to the western corporation limit of Aberdeen. Construction also includes repairs on U.S. 68 to the approaches of the U.S. 52 overpass to the William Harsha Bridge. The contractors are scheduled to begin Friday, September 30, and while crews are at work, traffic will be reduced to one lane and maintained by flaggers. The Brown County Asphalt Company was awarded a contract in the amount of approximately $506,458 to complete the project, and all work is anticipated to be completed in late October. In a separate project, Brown County Asphalt crews have begun resurfacing U.S. 68, from approximately two miles north of Georgetown to the northern corporation limit of Mt. Orab. Construction also includes rehabilitating bridges and installing ADA ramps in Mt. Orab. Throughout construction of this $1.06 million project, traffic will be maintained in one lane with the use of flaggers, and all work is scheduled to be completed by midNovember. For additional information on lane and road closures caused by construction, accidents, flooding or other related traffic events throughout the state, visit ODOT on the web at www.Ohgo.com.

What would you rather have?
THEIR VIEW A couple of years ago our family got the game called ‘Would You Rather’. If you aren’t familiar, it’s basically a game of questions where players are given a choice and have to answer which one they would rather do. The questions might be something like, ‘Would you rather eat a moldy pancake or chew an old piece of bubble gum off the sidewalk? Would you rather be invisible or be able to read minds? Would you rather find true love or a winning lottery ticket?’ It’s a fun game that the whole family can play and helps you get to know each other better. But after the game is put away, I find myself creating my own ‘Would You Rather’ questions in my head. Would I rather have a huge house that’s always clean, or my average house with little fingerprints on the walls? Would I rather always have money or always have good health? Would I rather have endless patience or endless time? Would I rather have my kids see me as a perfect parent or see me as a flawed human being? Would I rather be able to solve all of my children’s problems or let them learn their own lessons? Most of the answers were easy, but the last couple were not. It seems that we are really good at listing our own defeats when we are talking to ourselves, but want to appear like we have it all together to other people, and most especially to our kids. I used to feel that way, but I don’t anymore. I

who took care of me, made me appreciate being well, and to reach out to those who are not. Getting through the traumatizing parts let me realize my own strength. Going through the times when I had to rely on others for help let me learn to empathize and reach out to those who are in need. Feeling like I was at rock bottom let me learn to lean completely on God. Those are things our kids can’t learn if we are always shielding them from anything out of their comfort zone. When I see my kids making the same mistakes I did in spite of how much I warned them against it, it makes me cringe. But I remind myself that I made it through okay, and I pray they will too. The world is a scary place sometimes. It’s unfortunate that our kids will have to see the ugliness, but they will. But if we show them that we will stand beside them through their mistakes and ours, through the heartache and shame, and love them even through the bad choices, hopefully it will make it less scary. So, generally speaking (and of course barring anything that would end in tragedy) I guess I would rather let them make their own mistakes. With my arms around them. I will do the best I can and then pray they use good discernment and let God take it from there. His hands have picked me up many times, and I know He will do the same for them. Have a blessed week, friends!

Jester rushes for 383 yards, 7 TD's in Rockets' victory over Hillcrest Georgetown News Democrat
Thursday, September 29, 2016 | 6
Fayetteville football squad kicks off OVAL play with win BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
The Fayetteville-Perry Rockets racked up 513 yards of total offense to take down Hillcrest 61-42 in week five on the gridiron Sept. 23. The Rockets were at home to host Hillcrest in their first Ohio Valley Athletic League contest of the season, and Fayetteville football fans got to witness Rocket senior running back Chase Jester snap the record for rushing yards in a single game, as he took 41 carries for a total of 383 yards. Jester ran for seven touchdowns in the Rocket win, with much credit going out to the Fayetteville offensive line for its impressive blocking throughout the night. “The line did a tremendous job,” said Fayetteville head coach Kevin Finch following the win over Hillcrest. “It was a great team effort on offense. We had a lot of people out there doing their jobs. Everyone who wasn't carrying the ball was blocking. I was very pleased
with the teamwork.” After holding the Hillcrest offense scoreless in the first offensive drive of the game, the Rockets took over on their own 35 yard line to start their first drive. Jester took his first carry for a first down, moving the Rockets to their own 45 yard line with a 10 yard gain. A couple more carries by Jester pushed the Rockets into Hillcrest territory at the 42 yard line. Following a false start penalty on the Rockets, it was Jester carrying for an 11 yard gain to bring up second down and four to go for the Rockets at the Hillcrest 35 yard line. From there, another Jester carry would move the Rockets seven yards closer to pay dirt, giving the Rockets a first down at the Hillcrest 29 yard line. Fayetteville's junior quarterback Luke Wiederhold then ran for a nice gain on the QB keeper, but a holding penalty on the Rockets would put them at first down and 15 yards to go at the Hillcrest 31 yard line.

Dallas Pickelheimer claims first feature win at MRP Georgetown News Democrat
SUBMITTED NEWS THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
With an impending storm approaching just as hot laps were about to begin the teams and officials at Moler Raceway Park were able to breathe a sigh of relief as the track would be spared the brunt of the storm and able to get the racing program in on Friday, Sept. 16, which saw some awesome racing in all divisions including a first time win for Dallas Pickleheimer in the Sport Mods, James Rice passing his brother Josh Rice on the last lap of the Late Model Feature and Weasel Rhodes with a long overdue win in the mods. The Diamond Cut Lawn Care Sportmods would see $400 on the line for the feature winner, and it was Dallas Pickelheimer claiming his first ever feature win in his L&M Performance sponsored machine. After just getting the car together mid-season the driver from Amelia OH was overcome with joy in claiming his first win. BJ Branham would take home second spot in the feature event over Andy Trout with Chris Shelton Jr. and Dustin Pennington completing the top five positions. Pickelheimer and Trout won the heat races. The Tarvin Auto Service Freedom 4's would also see $400 on the line for the winner and it was all Chris Vance as he would lead all 15 laps in his Northwest Transmission, Wilson Bodyshop sponsored machine. Mike Clark would come home in second position with Josh Davis, Sean Jones, and Mark Horn completing the top five spots. Clark and Vance won the heat races. In the Late Model
Division, it was Kody Evans of Camden and Verona, Kentucky's James Rice claiming heat race wins and setting the lineup for the feature event. At the green flag it was Evans out front but it was Josh Rice from his 4th starting spot on the move. By lap12 it was Josh Rice taking over the top spot in his Kuzman Racing, Sunesis Construction machine with Evans in second with Josh’s brother James Rice in third. Following a lap 16 restart, it was James Rice getting past Evans for second position and it looked as if it was going to be Josh Rice taking the win and James Rice coming home in second but as the laps wound down it was James slowly closing the gap and when Josh slipped up just a little in turn #2 on the final lap brother James would pounce and take the top spot away as they raced off of turn four for the checkered flag. At the line it was James Rice taking the win by less than a car length over his brother. Bill Sheets would come home in third spot with John Whitney and Evans completing the top five spots. The Matt's Graphics UMP Modifieds would see 29 cars on hand hoping to take home the top prize. Drivers would have to race their way into the feature event. It was Maysville, Kentucky's Jimmy Lennex, Winchester, Ohio's Weasel Rhoades, and Lima's Tony Anderson taking the heat race victories; while Lawrenceburg, Indiana's Cory Skipton would claim the B-main victory. In the feature event, it was Weasel Rhoades jumping out front but by lap seven it was Joey Kramer out front from his
fifth starting spot. As Kramer would lead the field to the green for a restart on lap nine, he would pull out of the race handing the lead back over to Rhoades. Jeff Koz would pressure Rhoades for the next few laps, but an incident with a lap car on lap 17 would end his night. As the checkered waved it was the Bicycle Playing Card, Cropper Engines, Coyote Racecar of Rhoades pulling into victory lane for the first time in 2016. Adam Stricker would come home in second spot with Anderson, Lennex, and Kyle Herbert completing the top five. The DRC.net Crazy Compacts would once again see a familiar face out front in their feature event as Jerry Gibson III would charge from 4th starting spot to the lead on lap one and would never really be pressured in the 15 lap event. Anthony Traylor would come home in second spot with Brandon Stephens, Kyle Willoughby, and Josh Hammond completing the top five spots. Willoughby and Hammond were heat race winners. The Ohio Valley Roofers Legend Car Series would make their only visit on the 2016 race season to MRP and it was Josh Francis out front in the feature from the beginning. Despite constant pressure from Shaun Scott throughout the race the driver from West Union, Ohio would go on to take yet another win in the Legends series Scott would come home in second position with Cole DeMint, John Gutman, and Steve Duderstadt completing the top five positions. Gutman and Duderstadt were victorious in the heat races.
end to hold a 35-7 lead at halftime break. The Broncos were able to trim the Campbell lead to 35-14 with 8:28 to go in the third quarter off a seven yard touchdown reception by junior wide receiver Wyatt Fischer to cap off a drive, but just under four minutes later it was Campbell County topping off a drive with a 12 yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Austin Hoeh to junior tight end Mason Kramer to widen the margin to 42-14. The Broncos were able to reach pay dirt once again before the end of the third quarter, capping off a drive with a four yard touchdown run by junior Zach Stacy to help slice the Campbell lead to 42-21. That marked the final touchdown of the night for the Broncos. The Broncos were held
scoreless in the fourth quarter of play, while the Campbell County offense managed to punch in one more touchdown to seal a 27-point victory. The Broncos had three turnovers in the week five loss. Becker completed 25-of35 passes for just over 200 passing yards against Campbell. Stacy took 12 carries for 53 yards to lead Bronco ball-carriers, while Fischer led Bronco receivers with 11 catches for a total of 79 yards. The Broncos are scheduled to begin Southern B u c k e y e Athletic/Academic Conference play on Sept. 30, as they host the New Richmond Lions who stood at an overall record of 4-1 after their 35-7 win at Blanchester in week five.

The Western Brown Broncos continued their struggles on the gridiron Sept. 23, as they dropped to a 1-4 overall record with a 48-21 loss to visiting Campbell County. Coming into the week five contest against Campbell, the Broncos suffered three straight losses on the road.

Hillcrest offense to cruise down the field on its next possession to cap off their drive with a 23 yard touchdown reception by Nigel Mayo, followed by an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt, to cut the Rocket lead to 7-6. The Rockets managed one more touchdown before the end of the first quarter, but it was Hillcrest heating up to take a 20-15 lead to end the first period of play. Hillcrest went on to ou tscore the Rockets 2216 in the second quarter, and at halftime it was Fayetteville trailing 42-31. After struggling to stop the Hillcrest offense in the first half of play, the Rocket defense returned to the field to hold Hillcrest scoreless for the entire second half, while the Rocket offense scored 24 in the third quarter and six in the fourth quarter to rally for a 19-point victory. “You have to give cre dit where credit is due. Hillcrest was making plays. Mayo is a very good receiver and they have a good quarterback,” said Finch. “Our defense really had to step up in the second half.” The Rockets upped their overall record to 3-2 with the week five and held a 1-

The Rockets are preparing to face Miami Valley Christian for the week six OVAL contest at Fayetteville on Sept. 30 in what is expected to be their most challenging league contest of the season. As for Jester and the
Rockets' offensive line, you can expect their exceptional play to continue as the season rolls along. Jester led Southwest Ohio rushing leaders after his week five performance against Hillc rest with a total of 940 rushing yards. “Chase (Jester) is a hard worker. He's the type of player you can't keep out of the weight room,” said Finch. “He puts himself in a position to be very successful.”

Manchester (fourth place) in the final two rounds, but overall, I am proud of them for their four consistent team totals.”

DIABETES-INDUCED BLURRED VISION Blurred vision is a potential complication experienced by diabetics. Short-term blurriness among diabetics is caused by fluid shifting into and out of the eye due to high blood sugar levels, which causes the lens of the eye to swell. As the lens changes shape, its light-focusing ability is altered, resulting in blurriness. Fortunately, this short-term blurriness resolves as soon as sugar levels are lowered. Diabetes can also cause short-term blurriness when abnormally low sugar levels (hypoglycemia) exert an effect on the brain. Vision affected in this manner normalizes after glucose levels return to normal. Diabetes is just one condition that can lead to blurred vision. Blurry vision should be checked by the ophthalmologist, espe-
cially if it is sudden. Are you diabetic? In its early stages, you may not notice any change in your vision, but diabetes can turn sight-threatening. Regular eye examinations by your ophthalmologist are the best way to detect eye diseases. At KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE, we believe that treatment requires a “team” made up of both you and your doctor. Annual testing is the only sure path to early detection. Please call 606.759.7883 or 800.658.7282 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 1937 Old Main St., Suite 1, Old Washington. P.S. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to high blood sugar levels that damage small blood vessels in the retina, leading to blurred vision.

Western Brown’s Alli Blank shoots for a goal in the Lady Broncos’ Sept. 22 win over Goshen.
Lady Broncos rise to 5-1 in SBAAC American Division with win over Goshen BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
The Western Brown Lady Broncos upped their overall record to 8-3 and their Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division record to 5-1 with a 5-1 victory over the visiting Goshen Lady Warriors on Sept. 22. It was a league contest that saw the Lady Broncos dominate on both ends of the field, controlling the ball well in an exceptional team performance. “They played well,”
said Western Brown girls soccer coach Dan Silvis. “We've been working on a lot of possessing the ball and keeping things simple. These girls have really been working hard on passing and possessing the ball.” With nearly 20 varsity players, Silvis was able to use numbers to his advantage with a great deal of substituting to keep fresh legs on the field, which played a role in the Sept. 22 league win. “ We wear a lot of teams out. If you watch our games you can see in the
second half a lot of our opponents are putting their hands on their knees and showing signs of getting worn out. We don't lose a lot when we sub-in and sub-out as far as skillwise, so we use that to our advantage,” said Silvis. After nearly 27 minutes of scoreless soccer, it was Western Brown's Gracie Queen firing for the first goal of the night to give the Lady Broncos a 1-0 lead in the first half. With just under 10 minutes remaining in the first half, sophomore Lauren Shasteen shot for the Lady
Wade Linville/News Democrat
Broncos' second goal of the day, leaving Goshen trailing 2-0. Following some nice saves by Western Brown's junior goalkeeper Grace Richman, it was sophomore Alli Blank scoring a goal to give the Lady Broncos a 3-0 lead with 2:05 to go in the first h alf. Coming off halftime break, Goshen's Whitney Turner fired for a goal to cut the Western Brown lead to 3-1, but that's the only goal the Lady Warriors would score in the contest. Excellent play by
Western Brown junior Autumn Boothby continued through the second half, causing the Lady Warriors problems on both ends of the field. With just under 30 minutes to go in the second half, it was Queen firing for he r second goal of the day to expand the Lady Broncos' lead to 4-1. Richman saw little action in the goal through the second half of play, as the Lady Broncos controlled the ball with wellplaced passes and unselfish play. It was senior
Mackenzie Young scoring the Lady Broncos' final goal of the day, driving a shot into the top left corner of the net to widen the margin to 5-1 with the clock closing in on the eight-minute mark in the second half. The Lady Broncos were on the road Sept. 24 to face Summit Country Day, suffering a 6-0 loss. The Lady Broncos were scheduled to face Norwood in a league game on the road Sept. 27, and they are back at home Sept. 29 for a home game against Batavia.
