Investigators said evidence at the scene indicated that Coci had been dead for one to two weeks. He was reported missing to the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office on October 12, by his girlfriend who said she had last heard from him on Oct. 7. A press release from the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office says ‘Mr. Coci’s vehicle was reportedly observed by a family member on October 8, 2011 parked at a Duke Energy substation near the intersection of S.R. 131 and Rt. 50 in Brown County, approximately four miles from where Mr. Coci lived. A note on the truck read “broke down will be back”. On October 14, 2011 a ground search of the area was conducted with deputes from Brown and Clermont Counties along with an aerial search conducted by the Highland County Sheriff’s Office.
As a result of this initial search Mr. Coci was not located. On October 25, 2011 after exhausting any other possible leads as to Mr. Coci’s whereabouts, Clermont and Brown County Deputies along with Cadaver Dog handlers from the Grant County, Kentucky Sheriff’s Office and Erlanger, KY Fire/EMS responded to the initial search area to conduct another search. The cadaver dog search teams located the remains of a subject believed to be the remains of Mr. Coci. The remains were sent to Montgomery County for further examination. It could not be determined at the scene as to cause of death, but there were no readily apparent indications of foul play.’ Brown County Sheriff’s Department Detective Buddy Moore said that the investigation into Coci’s death is continuing.

Brown County General gets Political battle results in two six month break to pay loan primaries for county for 2012 BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The Brown County General Hospital has asked the Brown County Commissioners for six more months to pay back a $300,000 loan. The loan was made to the hospital to help keep it operational prior to the sale to Southwest Healthcare of Brown County in June. It was part of the 11 million dollars worth of debt assumed by Southwest when the company took over the hospital. The loan was originally set to be paid back in installments of approximately $26 thousand dollars on August 1. Last summer, the commissioners extended the payments to begin October 1. The first payment is now due March 31, 2012. Brown County General Hospital Chief Executive Officer Joan Phillips calls the extension request regrettable, but necessary. “We did that because we are working hard to turn the hospital around, while meeting payroll and paying vendors that have been carrying debt since the hospital was owned by the county”, Phillips said. Southwest Healthcare Executive Chairman Paul Tuft said that he appreciated the patience of the commis-

sioners and the taxpayers of Brown County as Southwest works to turn the hospital’s financial picture around. “We have already paid off nearly two million dollars of debt since we took over in June, including over $400,000 to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System that was incurred under previous management”, Tuft said. “We did that first so that retirees who earned their pensions and employees who contributed to the system would receive every dime that was owed to them when they
ask for it. We have the same commitment to satisfy our debt to the taxpayers of Brown County and we will begin making those payments next March", Tuft added. Brown County Commission President Ralph Jennings said he supported the extension of the loan. Commissioner Rick Eagan voted yes on the extension as well, but warned that “I’m not in favor of giving them another one.” Commissioner Bill Geschwind also voted in favor of the extension.

Sun Group NEWSPAPERS
Brown County has fallen to nearly a three year low. New numbers from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services shows the jobless rate fell to 10.2 percent in September from 10.4 percent, matching the low mark set in October of last year. The last time the unemployment rate was in single digits in Brown County was December of 2008, when the rate was 9.5 percent. It rose sharply in the months ahead as the recession took hold, staying at 12 percent or higher through 2009 and peaking at 14.8 percent in February of 2010. The jobless rate dropped in all other area counties as well. Adams County recorded the sharpest drop from August to September, from 11.8 percent from 12.5. That’s a drop of .7 percent. Clermont County saw a decline of .3 percent to 8.6,
Clinton County saw a drop of .4 percent to 12.4 and Highland County saw a decline of .4 percent to 11.9. In the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Butler, Warren, Hamilton, Clermont and Brown Counties, the unemployment rate dropped .1 percent to 8.7 percent in September. Statewide, the jobless rate went from 8.8 percent in August to 8.5 percent last month. While the picture shows improvement in all areas, southern Ohio still bears the brunt of high unemployment in the state. Three of the top six counties with the highest jobless rates in the state share a border with Brown County, and two others are very close geographically. The highest unemployment rate in Ohio is in Pike County CONTINUED ON PAGE 11
A political standoff between Republicans and Democrats in Ohio has resulted in two primaries for 2012. Local elections will be decided March 7 and congressional and presidential candidates will be selected June 12. Brown County Board of Elections Director Kathy Jones estimates that a second primary will cost Brown County approximately fifty thousand dollars. The argument centers on the newly drawn congressional districts mandated by the 2010 census. Following the census, Ohio lost two congressional districts. Because Republicans hold most state offices and have majorities in both houses of the legislature, they controlled the redistricting process. State Democrats criticized the map that resulted and filed a lawsuit to force a vote on the plan. They have until Christmas of this year to gather 231, 234 valid signatures to force a

vote on the new congressional map in November of 2012. If they fail, the new map stands. If they are successful...nobody really knows what will happen. As things stand now, congressional candidates could be running for seats that might disappear and people could be voting for candidates that may or may not be representing them depending on the vote on the congressional
map. Because of that uncertainty, the legislature put forth House Bill 318, which separates the primaries. It was signed by Ohio Governor John Kasich on Oct. 21. State law requires congressional candidates to register for election 90 days prior to election day. That means that CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Aberdeen to start work on water treatment plant By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press A special meeting of the Aberdeen Village Council was called on Monday, October 24, to open two submitted bids for the digging of wells and construction of a new water treatment plant. Although council was hoping to receive bids from local contractors, both bids were from companies out of the area. Bell Engineering, the firm handling the project, submitted an estimated cost for the
treatment plant, at nearly $1.6 million and an estimate of $90,000 for the digging of the wells After a lengthy discussion, Shinn Brothers was awarded the contract for the treatment plant with a bid of $1.6 million. A bid of $132,000 from Moody’s of Dayton, Miamisburg for the digging of two new wells including pumps and motors, was also awarded. According to Emily Henderson, Village Administrator, the Ohio Environmental Protection

Jim Ferguson A current board member of the Brown County Educational Service Center, Ferguson has his bachelors degree from Morehead University and a masters from Xavier University. Ferguson’s late wife Dorothy, attended the University of Cincinnati School of Education and was a board member of the Brown County Educational Service Center and was a well-known educator in Brown county. The couple has two daughters, Shannon and Debra, both of whom attended Brown County Schools. “I have been a teacher, a principal and a local superintendent,” Ferguson said. “I also worked for the University of Dayton Instructor of Administration in Education. “I served as a Brown County Commissioner and was on the Brown County Hospital Board of Trustees.” Ferguson is also a member of the Brown County Board of Alcohol and Drug Addiction and Mental Health. “I feel that my years of dedication to education ranging from the elementary level through the college level and being on several Brown County boards,” Ferguson said, “demonstrates my criteria for being an asset as a true and dedicated educator. “I have used my past and present experience and education to assist me in making decisions for the present BCESC Governing Board. I believe children, parents, teachers, principals, superintendents, school employees and Brown County citizens are able to recognize these qualities which are so valuable today.” Ferguson said he believes it is critical to assist all Brown County School Districts as the BCESC has done in the past and continue these needed services for our children today and in the future. “Your confidence, support and vote would be greatly appreciated,” added Ferguson. Bryan Mount Born and raised in Mt. Orab, Bryan Mount is a graduate of God’s Bible School in Cincinnati and attended the University of Cincinnati Clermont. “I worked on my degree in Business Management at the University of Cincinnati Clermont as well as at Southern State Community College,” Mount said. “I served eight years in the US Army Reserve as a Military Police Officer serving in the 377th MP Company

Orab serving as a patrolman, a lieutenant and the Chief of Police. “I have been married to Rae Jean (Howser) for 18 years and together we have two children, Brayden and Landen,” he added. “Both our children attend Western Brown Schools.” Mount continued, “While working as a police officer I have worked very closely with the Western Brown Schools. I have had numerous occasions to interact with the school district and handle situations involving truancy, bus services and students with special needs. Our children are the most

I believe this service with the police department has given me valuable insight as to some of the challenges we have in our schools today.” Mount said that he has no agenda to many any changes in the services provided by the BCESC and his motivation is to serve the people of Brown County and continue to move forward with a strong school system in our communities.
which I have performed many duties. “I have worked in corrections, road patrol, D.A.R.E. Instructor in all Brown County Schools, environmental crimes investigations and other duties.” Hubbard said he has listened to concerns from many area teachers and parents related to their schools and their children. “I am a good listener and when given a task, I always give 110%,” he added. “ As a D.A.R.E. Instructor, I understand the need for some assistance from outside agencies, occasionally. “If elected, I would like to help control unnecessary spending. Placement of needed services to each of our schools would be my primary focus. In addition, a great relationship between the local school and the educational services are greatly needed.”
Tim Hubbard Tim Hubbard lives on a mini-farm in Fayetteville and has lived there for over 30 years. He is one of seven children, all raised on a farm. He is married and has four children. “I have been a life-long resident of Brown County,” Hubbard explained, “Most of my work career has been in law enforcement at the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, in

Letters to the Editor
E V E N
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing you in regards to a good friend of mine. Matt Ernst is one of three candidates running for the Mayor of Hamersville. For those of us who are familiar with Matt know that he is not only a great friend, but a hard and dedicated worker. I have known Matt for close to five years now and I can’t recall a time where he has given me a response to any situation, or question, that was negative. Matt taught me to look at every scenario in a positive way rather than looking at something in a negative way. Matt has always been willing to help anyone at anytime. He has helped me with work around my house, as well as guiding me through my career at the bank. I worked as a CSR inside Matt’s office for 16 months. Because of his help, I am now a Lead CSR in the Amelia office and on my way to becoming the Assistant in January. Matt also knows the ins and outs of keeping up with financing. He is currently the Branch Manager of the Owensville office, which has been one of the strongest, if not the strongest, operating branch inside our affiliate for a few years now. I believe that with Matt’s ability to run a successful branch inside a competitive market, over and over again, and his ability to work with many people, given any situation, he can successfully have a positive impact on the Village of Hamersville by being their Mayor. Thank you for your time. Adam P. Bresser
Dear Editor, I have personally known Betty Kirkpatrick, one of the candidates for Hamersville Mayor, since we were in the first grade. She is an outstanding, trustworthy and loyal person. She has lived in the Village of Hamersville since she was a child, worked at the Hamersville Post Office for 40 years, been an EMT on the Life Squad for 20 years, a Village Police woman for 11 years, served on council for 10 years, has been a volunteer
Dear Editor, I am writing to encourage the voters of Hamersville Village to vote in favor of the Police Protection levy. This renewal levy will not raise anyone’s taxes, but it is vital for the protection of the residents of Hamersville. Without the support of the voters, it would be necessary for the Village to rely on the Brown County Sheriff for Police protection. While the Sheriff’s office is reliable and does a great job, they are already over-extended throughout the County. We need to keep our Police Department to better serve and protect our residents. Thank you, Larry Talbott Mayor, Village of Hamersville Dear Editor, People, people, people, do you know what recycleable material really is??? I was at the recycle bin today and there were tv’s, couches, and trash, these are not recycles. If you take the time to load them, don’t drop them, take them to the Goodwill or Salvation Army. They will unload them for you, put people to work, and give people an opportunity to buy what they need cheaper than buying new items. At some point Rumpke will get tired of picking up your junk and totally remove the recycle boxes permanently. Then those of us, who do recycle, to save our world, will have to drive to Georgetown. So please don’t drop your junk at the Mt. Orab recycle boxes. Thank you. Betty Donathan, A Concerned Citizen Mt. Orab, Ohio for various organizations that has helped the Village and is a fine outstanding church member. With all of her knowledge and experience with the Village of Hamersville, Betty would be the best choice for Mayor. I understand that one of her opponents has only been to 3 council meetings. Does this give anyone enough knowledge and experience in Village matters that qualifies as a candidate for mayor? Joyce A. Souder

Dear Editor, First of all, I must reply to Paul J. Osborne’s letter (submitted August 21, 2011). Sir, your “advice” is pure foolishness to me, and it reeks of “Darwinism”. On top of that, I find your lackadaisical view of life to be truly asinine. Second, Diana Hitts’ reply to Mr. Osborne’s letter was excellent and true, for Tyler Hitt is indeed a “living miracle”, of this I have personal knowledge. But now, I must speak of “organic gardening, government, and religion”. All three are very similar in that they involve manure. Organic gardening benefits greatly from the usage of manure, and most of the end product is very nutritional and of high quality. “Organic government” and “organic religion”, on the other hand, have absolutely no nutritional value, and both can be harmful to life, property, and the spirit. “Organic government” consists of justice department seminars, where those whose duties are to serve the people, were found to be buying $16.00 muffins that normally sell for $2.90. The entire seminar was paid for with federal tax dollars, and the muffins were the least of the extravagant and fraudulent usage of the “people’s money” (source: NBC Nightly News Sept. 21, 2011). “Organic government” is bringing out a multi-billion dollar “Jobs bill” towards the end of his administration, instead of having brought it out when his administration was yet 90 days old. What were you thinking Mr. Obama? Were you thinking that the American people needed “socialized medicine” (Obamacare) more than a job that could keep Americans in their homes and above the poverty level?! “Organic government” is the lies and promises, given by Democrats, Republicans, and tea partiers, about how they will bring us “change we can believe in”, and “we’ll take back America”, yet where has the mighty juggernaut gone? Has American unemployment fallen below 7%? Has the government stopped gorging itself on $16.00 muffins? Has the first lady stopped taking her million dollar overseas vacations? have the “too big to fail banks” paid back their “bailout money”, while their corporate leaders sit in prison? Has House Speaker John Boehner stopped increasing national debt? Have our political leaders given our military the proper man power, equipment, and “goal minded common sense orders” required to decisively defeat “terroristic Islam”? Hale No!! is the answer, to the previous questions! Our leaders and members of the “organic government” have a lavish, wealthy, and yet morally corrupt lifestyle which is exempt from the laws and regulations placed upon the American people! Is “Occupy America” the answer? No, for if the main theme of “Occupy America” is fully implemented, then America will become
a “socialist police state”. What is the answer for the steady diet of “manure” being fed to the American people?.... I seriously doubt if an “American Spring” would save America,... it has become so corrupt, so immoral, that I can see our founding fathers starting the second Revolutionary War as they sing Merle Haggard’s song “You’re walking on the fighting side of me”. So much “manure” has issued from the “organic government”, that the nations of the world could have an abundant and overflowing supply of fertilizer. And what of “organic religion”? First of all, for those who believe that I am blaspheming the Word of the Almighty God of Israel, read Malachi 2:1-9, especially 2:13. Did your eyes open wider, when you read that the Lord of hosts would spread “the dung” of the priests solemn feasts upon their faces? (ref. KJV version). The priests broke away from the covenant of the Almighty God of Israel, and taught the people to do so! With the false leadership from the “organic government”, and “organic religion”, what lies before us? .... America is going to fail as a superpower and a one world government will soon be controlling our lives. The “tribulation/time of Jacob’s trouble” will soon be upon us. What is the answer to these problems? Only one... seek knowledge and wisdom from the Almighty LORD God of Israel, and then your eyes and ears will be opened. David DeBord, Hamersville, Ohio Dear Editor, To those against ISSUE 2 (voting No), please ask yourself this: If we allow firefighters and police officers full union powers shouldn't we also allow members of the Air Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard and Marines the same right? Then who could object if the military, backed by the solidarity and clout of the Teamsters, UAW, et al, struck or developed an "olive drab flu" during (or creating) a national emergency? Vote YES on Ohio Issue 2 preserve the power and control of emergency workers to those we've elected to manage these public employees. Chuck Klein, former police officer Georgetown, Ohio

in front of a large, divided audience to defend him. It seemed to many of us, that the school board was responding more to the whims of a superintendent rather than listening to the students and the community who supported Todd Music as their principal. Both candidates would never allow themselves to be intimidated by either unions or management. Todd Music and Ben Davis are also big supporters of the M.C.J.R.O.T.C. program at the high school. Ben Davis is an active member of the Semper Fidelis Society, the organization that raises money for the popular and well-attended program. As principal of the high school, Todd Music worked hard and spent many hours on the road to help ensure a future for the junior Marine R.O.T.C. program. Both candidates realize that only a J.R.O.T.C. program so highly respected could host a three-star general as the guest of honor at the next annual Marine Corps Birthday Ball on November 5. Without hesitation, I support the candidacies of Todd Music and Ben Davis. I would like to encourage everyone who votes to vote for them on November 8. Barry Houser, Ripley, Ohio

What Do You Think? What do you consider the appropriate age for children to stop Trick-or-Treating?
Well, I don't know, I was still trick-or-treating my Junior year of high school, so I'd say, high school. Holly Marcum, Williamsburg
I don't think there should be an age limit, everyone just wants to have fun, even adults. Janice Wittig, Georgetown
I'd say by age 13 they should stop. Tammy Campbell, Mt. Orab
I think 13 is a good age. Judy Houston, Mt. Orab

Dear Editor, Music/Davis for R.U.L.H. School Board The Ripley F.C.C.L.A. did a great job last week hosting the Meet the Candidates night at the R.U.L.H. High School. All six of the candidates running for the two vacant positions on the school board were impressive as they answered a series of difficult questions. However, I thought the two who stood out the most, not only for their answers, but as well as from my own personal experiences with them, were Todd Music and Ben Davis. Both candidates have school-age children, so they are aware of the present day problems facing our schools, both academically and financially. I have known them long enough to know that they are fiscally conservative and would not waste the taxpayers’ money on unnecessary spending or on frivolous lawsuits. They have worked hard in the private sector, so they understand what it takes to keep down costs while improving on quality. If elected, Todd Music and Ben Davis would work to ensure that monthly school board meetings are more public-friendly. They would like to see the monthly meetings uninterrupted by lengthy “executive session”. They both realize that their time is no more important than those of us who attend the meetings. Also, I believe these two candidates would be able to deal effectively with any conflicts presented to them at board meetings. For example, when Todd Music was being voted out of his job as principal, for standing by his principles, Ben Davis boldly stood

My foremost priority has been, and will always be, to serve our community, but more accurately, our young people, as they are the leaders of tomorrow. I believe that the board of education is charged with providing the best possible education for all students, and I am proud of the things that we have done at Western Brown Local Schools in the past 2 years that I have served. Western Brown is on the rise and I would appreciate retaining the privilege of being able to continue representing the constituents of the Western Brown Local School District as the district continues to make tremendous strides in the field of education, with the ultimate goal of becoming one of the most outstanding schools in Ohio. I believe that “Leadership Counts”, and I believe that the local school system is the birthplace for leadership. Leadership is the difference between being satisfied with good and a striving towards being the best. This is why I am asking for your support…let’s make Western Brown a place where today’s leaders lead, and tomorrow’s leaders are taught how. Shane Bishop
Brown County Safe Communities gives county traffic death update
CMYK
According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Crash Statistics website, Brown County has had a total of 313 traffic crashes during the first nine months of 2011, with one fatal crash causing one death, 55 incapacitating injury crashes, and 195 nonincapacitating injury crashes. During the same nine-month time period in 2010, we had a total of 357 crashes, with three fatal crashes, 69 incapacitating injury crashes, and 205 non-incapacitating injury crashes. There are several types of costs related to traffic deaths—heartache and suffering for those loved ones who are left behind, economic burdens on families, and financial costs to society. And according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each traffic crash-related death has a comprehensive cost of $3,366,388 associated with it. So when you get down to dollars and cents, the traffic death-related financial cost experienced in Brown County through September 30th, 2011 is $3,366,388. The overall trend in Ohio during this year is a decrease in the number of fatal crashes in the state when compared to the number of 2010 crashes. This is good news-- we’re making some progress both at the local and state levels. But there is still much work to be done—and you can
help! Our seat belt use rates are still only around 75%. We all need to buckle up for every ride no matter how short of a ride we take, encourage our family and friends to do the same, and remember that using our seat belt is the #1 defense against death and serious injury in most traffic crashes. Parents, remember that one of the leading factors for getting your kids and teens into the habit of always buckling up is you being a good role model and always buckling up yourself! Motorists, look out for motorcycles! We are now in the time of the year when we’re dealing with more deer “traffic” on our roads and also falling leaves which can cause some traction problems when the rubber meets the road. And before you know it, winter weather will be here! Please-- follow the speed limit and adjust your speed according to road conditions. Also, don’t drive when you’re drowsy. “Park the phone” when you’re in your car. And finally, stop at stop signs and red lights. Let’s all keep working together to prevent or decrease traffic deaths AND injuries in Brown County in 2011. Please help to keep our roads safe for your family and friends!
Dear Editor, I’ve known Shane Bishop since youth, Jr. High, and High School sports. He is a current member of the Western Brown Board of Education and is seeking a four year term in the November election. Shane has always put everything into academics and athletics. He was a 1988 co-valedictorian at Western Brown High School and never left anything on the field or court, always giving 100%. His parents instilled strong family values in Shane. His children attend Western Brown Schools and he is a youth leader in his church. Shane strongly believes in liberty and individual responsibility and he possesses strong moral character. As a student at the United States Naval Academy and serving our country as an officer in the United States Navy, Shane took on oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Paraphrasing former Dear Editor, I wish to thank the citizens of Hamersville for giving me the opportunity to be their mayor for the past four years. Overall it has been a good experience. I said when I had been elected that if I left Hamersville better than when I started I would be happy. I feel this has been accomplished with the help of the Council, Board of Public Affairs, the Brown County Commissioners in helping to remove some of the dilapidated structures and the McKinney family for replacing new housing in the area. I would also like to thank the many great employees of the village who helped make my job easier. In regards to statements made by (2) mayoral candidates: 1.) Being a full time Mayor - There are no full time positions in the Village of Hamersville other than its full time citizens. 2.) Community Oriented Activities by Council and the citizens of Hamersville - This type of action requires money and, like many other communities, the village has no excessive funds available and at one time this year had only $400 in their general fund. Thanks to the co-operation of the Board of Public Affairs and the professional handling of our books by Tammy Ogle, the village was able to survive. We did what we needed to do when the funds were available. I would like at this time to endorse Betty Kirpatrick for Mayor of Hamersville. I am endorsing her not only as an exiting mayor but also as a citizen of Hamersville. Laurence D. Talbott Mayor of Hamersville
Congressman Lee Hamilton, “It seems the forces of division are overcoming the forces of cohesion in our country.” Shane wants to see his values and love of country continue in our local community and schools and is concerned, as are many of us, with the anti-family, antichurch, and anti-military trends or movements in the United States. Shane currently places exmilitary officers in civilian jobs, giving him great knowledge of today’s business climate. His background, knowledge, and integrity makes Shane an outstanding candidate to continue to serve on the Western Brown Board of Education. This letter is simply one person’s humble opinion and in no way represents the Western Brown School District, for whom I’ve been an employee for many years. Jim Neu, Hamersville, Ohio

Members of the Fayetteville-Perry Local School District Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution that expresses its opposition to HB 136 School Choice, as well as opposition to any legislation that seeks to transfer public dollars to support private education. HB 136 was introduced by Republican Matt Huffman of Lima, Ohio. The bill was recently approved by the House’s Education Committee. It would expand the state’s private school voucher program to any student in any district whose family earns less than $95,000. To parents it could mean more choices for their childs education, for public schools it could mean the loss of state funds. “Fayetteville-Perry Schools receive a little over $5,700 per student in state funds,” said Superintendent Raegan White. “This bill, if it passes, will open the doors for private and parochial schools to takes those

state funds away from public schools. I am not against parents having the choice of where they want their children to attend school, but I believe that public dollars are best used to fund public schools.” White said the Ohio School Board Association is against HB 136 and has openly asked Ohio schools districts to send copies of resolutions passed by school boards opposing the passing of the bill to the Ohio Education Association. During a recent school board meeting, the 5-year forecast for
the district was presented to the board for review. “We’re looking at some tough years ahead,” White said. “But most schools in Ohio will have high deficit numbers by 2015, and 2016.” White explained that in 2009, Fayetteville-Perry Schools were operating in the red, showing a deficit of $730,306. Then in 2010 the deficit rose to $745,516. “The numbers on our forecast show a drastic change for school year 2011,” White said. “It suddenly showed a plusbalance of $120,108 in the black. That’s because we were forced to let 17 people go. A school just can’t operate while running in the red.” He continued “Now 2012 looks okay in the forecast, but by 2013, because we will loose the Ed-Job funds, the way it looks now, we will have a deficit of $340,831, and by 2016 that number could be as high as $513,743.” White said he and his staff and the board will continue to look for ways of saving money for the school including continuously applying for grants. In other business at the
meeting, supplemental contracts were approved for: • Tom Ryan as Junior Varsity softball coach (pending proper certification); • Jenn Rummell as senior class sponsor; • Marci Schaefer as eighth grade trip sponsor. The board approved several professional day quests as well as a request to hold the prom at the Anderson Center and the after-prom at the high school gymnasium.
because most approval items will be known only after the wells have been drilled and tested for pumping capability. As soon as the wells are drilled and complete plans are sent in, I can continue the plan review.” Henderson’s comment came after Councilwoman
Billie Eitel asked how a contract could be signed before EPA approval? She stated that she was not in favor of awarding the contracts before receiving the go-ahead from the EPA. “My problem with awarding this bid before the project has been approved,” said Eitel in a phone interview, “is that this village received two let-

ters from the EPA back in September, which said there was an issue with some part of the well drilling and some part of the water treatment plant. But apparently Mayor Renchen never received either of those letters, they never made it to his desk.” Eitel said she asked Henderson to produce the letters but Henderson was not immediately able to find them. “Now the issues the EPA has could very possibly be minor little adjustments,” Eitel said. “or they could be something major that we need to rectify. “Either way, I am not comfortable with awarding these bids until every issue is resolved. “I believe that at this special meeting we had, the majority of council just wanted it in the newspaper before the election, that a bid had been awarded.

Earlier this year, CEO of Artisian, Edward Kidston assured council that he could build the new plant for a firm $2.1 million. “I just don’t feel confident in approving this awarding a contract at this point in time,” Eitel added. A motion was made to suspend the rules and award the contract, but to not give final go-ahead on it until EPA approval had been received. Voting yes, to award the contracts were council members Jerry Applegate, Jason Phillips, Bob Hutchison and Jay Castle. Hugh Hall was unable to attend the meeting. Eitel was the only no vote cast. The motion carried.

Patty Ann DeBoard My mom, Patty Ann DeBoard, has been gone 10 years. How is that possible? My brother, Chris, and I were blessed when God put us in her hands. So were my daughter Jamie and lots of kids that considered her their Mom-Mom, too. She always had time for whoever needed her and she listened, truly listened. Her friends were lucky people and cherished her. I often see folks who tell me “I was just thinking about your Mom.” We laugh over memories and it makes me feel good knowing how much she was loved and is still missed. Mom tried to see the best in everyone and treated all with respect. She taught me that life is a gift that is to be shared. Not a day passes that I do not feel her touch in my life and I know I will until we meet again. Mom's friends and family know she loved to write. She left a letter for us to read after she passed. Her final thoughts are still special and I'd like to share these few: Keep those you love close and tell them you care everyday...Don't let the small problems spoil the good times...The joy of love lasts forever. I love you, Mom. Lee Ann DeBoard (Slemp)
PROPHESY #3 There is so much involved in Matthew 24 that I didn’t get covered these past couple weeks that I feel should continue with it today. Matthew 24 is talking about the second coming of Christ. It is not talking about the Rapture. The Rapture is the mystery spoken of in I Corinthians 15:51-58 and again in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. It is a kind of family thing. It is between the church, which is the children of God, and the Lord. The world does not comprehend that because they are not part of the family. They need to join the family, Amen? The Bible says that whosoever will may come. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. But for the family, we are so aware of the Rapture that we are not so aware of the second coming of Christ to this earth. In the second coming He will come to this earth accompanied by ten thousands of His saints as Jude and Enoch has prophesied and which is spelled out in the book of Revelation. Now look with me in Matthew 24:27. “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” At this point in what Christ is talking about, the Rapture is a thing of the past. The great tribulation spoken of in verse 21 is coming to a conclusion. Keep in mind that what we call the Great Tribulation is the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7). It is a time of final punishment for the Jews followed by the 1000 year reign of Christ when Israel will be completely restored. In verse 28 He is describing that which is more fully described in Revelation 19:17. In verses 29-31 Christ is summoning up things to come in Israel’s future. He is making preparation for what he is going to tell them in verse 32. Now, even though He is speaking to the Jews, we can also observe these signs. “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” Verse 35: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Notice that Jesus makes a definite statement
DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com here. He said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away...” (II Peter 3:10) Knowing that Jesus is warning us that this earth is going to pass away, why in the world would people not make arrangements to have a better home to move to? But moving on, let’s look at verses 36-38: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe” (Noah) “were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” When I was first starting to study prophecy in the early 50’s, it occurred to me that the restaurant business was going to greatly increase. In those days there was no such thing as fast food chains we have now. But now we have a multitude of them and even in this time of economic crisis the restaurants, especially the ones serving liquor, are going great guns! In the days of Noah their main interest was eating. It is the first thing mentioned; the second was drinking. If you carry through with that thought the last thing mentioned is marriage. It was probably the least important thing in that generations’ eyes and the same is true today. Then in verses 42:44 Jesus gives a warning: “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come... Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Are you ready? Are you saved? That Great Tribulation is approaching and if you are not saved, and you are still here, whether Gentile or Jew, you will be in it!

FISCAL OFFICER, Clark Twp Paid for by Brenda Carol Ernst 9905 Fite Ave., Hamersville, OH 45130
I am Neal P. Bering and I am running for Pike Township trustee. I wanted to share with you why I decided to run for this position. My parents moved to Mt. Orab from Delhi when I was 11, and I have lived on a farm in the township for 42 years. When I was young I would walk to Grant Lake to go boating and fishing as much as possible. When I grew older I answered an ad put out by the village of Mt. Orab for volunteers to form a committee to help clean up and maintain the lake. I worked on the committee for about three years and it whetted my appetite for community service. I later joined the Pike Township Watch Dogs, working with the trustees on a variety ofcommunity issues. I was later voted in by the trustees to sit on the Appeals committee, participating in roundtable discussions and working with the Pike Township Inspector and Zoning Committee. These opportunities gave me experience and knowledge as to what the trustees do. Having been employed in the Information Technology field for 27 years, working in capacities such as project leader and project manager, I have fine-honed the skills that would be useful when working to get what is most needed for Pike Township, in the budget and on the project priority list. My expertise in planning, organizing and directing projects will be utilized to work with external departments and agencies to better the community. In talking with my neighbors throughout the community, there was a common thread in the complaints they had – when something was an issue for them and they reached out for help, the most common response was “ it is not in the budget” or “ it is the county’s responsibility”, with no follow up. This was not comforting to them, and to me is really a non-response. If something needs to addressed, I will work to get it resolved. If it is the trustee’s responsibility, I will roll up my sleeves and do what it takes. I appreciate your vote and I look forward to serving you!

JoAnn Hildebrandt
A graduate of Mt. Orab High School, JoAnn Hildebrandt married her high school sweetheart, the late John Young, who passed away in 1982. Together the couple had four children, John, Jeff, Julie and Jenae. “Today, I am happily married to Bill Hildebrandt,” JoAnn said. “ He has three sons, Brian, Mark and Jon. Bill and I live in Mt. Orab with our two long-haired dachshunds, Max and Willie.” Hildebrandt stated that her four children all graduated from Western Brown and all but one live in the area. “I retired almost three years ago from the Brown County Public Library in Mt. Orab,” she said. “I will always remember my years there, I met so many people and had the opportunity to work with patrons of all ages. I especially loved our summer reading programs. Some of the students, who are in high school now, were some of our first participants.
“My husband Bill retired from General Electric 11 years ago and now works part-time delivering Mealson-Wheels. We attend a lot of school sporting events. JoAnn stated that Western Brown has helped in making herself, her children and her grandchildren what they are today. “I am running for school board because I am passionate about this district,” she added, “and I feel that I can give the position the time and energy it requires. “Superintendent Chris Burrows often uses the phrase “our goal is to make Western Brown a great place for students to learn, employees to work and ultimately a place where parents want to send their children.” “I believe, that with all of us working together, these goals are obtainable. There is still much to do and I truly want to remain a part of that process.” Hildebrandt added that a great school system helps make a great community where people are proud to live and work together. “What more could we want for our children and grandchildren?” she added.

“I have been involved with our school system for many years and have remained very active with the Western Brown FFA Chapter for over 15 years,” Griffith said. “My husband and I have two sons. “I am a substitute bus driver for both Western Brown and Georgetown Schools and
I am a county school aide. We have lived in this community for over 30 years, and both our sons graduated from Western Brown.” Griffith said her reason for running for school board is because she wants to make a difference and ensure that students at Western Brown are given the very best. “As a school bus driver I have had the opportunity to meet some really great kids,” she said, “ Every time I get on my bus, I try to think about the first thing they think of when they meet me for the first time.” She explained that she tries to see things through their eyes, and understand how frightening it would be to see a substitute driver instead of their regular driver. “As a bus driver I see many children, young men and young women whom all are characterized with different personalities and this is what is so inspiring to me,” Griffith said. “We can make all kinds of changes and cuts, but the one thing that won’t change is the outcome of how it affects our kids.” Griffith added that driving a bus has by far been one of the hardest things she has ever done, but has also been the most rewarding. “I do have many concerns,” she said. “but my number one priority is the students. Our school system is good quality, but it does leave room for improvement. Our school system has been hit hard by the economy. “Now it’s up to our administrative staff to minimize the spending to operate our school system to it’s best potential. “In my opinion, the budget cuts we have been forced to minimize so that will make more students per class which forces an even tougher situation to meet academic standards.” Griffith expressed her dislike for ‘double dipping’, or retirees returning back to work for the school system,
GVES Board of Education discusses options after hearing 5-year forecast By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Georgetown Village Exempted School Board of Education members, Superintendent Tom Durbin and board treasurer Eric Toole discussed a grim looking 5Year Forecast report, submitted by Toole on Oct. 19. According to the numbers, by fiscal year 2013, the district could be facing a $332,400 deficit. By 2014 it could grow to a $669,000 deficit, by 2015 it could reach $836,000 and in 2016 the budget could potentially reach a deficit of $959,000. The group went through the forecast, item by item, hoping to see a glimpse of financial hope for the future in the next five years. Toole explained just how shaky the numbers listed in the forecast really are, and how quickly they could change. “We know pretty close to where we are this year, and how much state revenue we’re going to receive,” Toole began, “but next year depends on a lot of different factors.” One board member asked Toole if he had heard anything recently about changes for the district coming out of the governors office. “Actually, the governor has ordered a reassessment of the process that was used to develop the formulas for school funding,” Toole added. “They’re planning a series of meetings to get more input from stake holders. But I haven’t heard a lot about it recently. We’ll have to wait and see. “There are a lot of significant items that factor in to the numbers of this 5-Year Forecast”, Toole said. “One important thing is the changes in the projected forecast for real estate tax revenues in the district.” Toole explained that the last two or three years have been a real challenge for the district. But, he added that the revenues have now begun to bounce back.
“We can see an increase now because of funds from delinquencies that occurred from sheriff sales, foreclosures and things like that,” Toole said. “We’re also seeing an little bit of an increase from agricultural property values. Their tax payments have gone up substantially. But the projections from tax revenue for 2012 and 2013 don’t show any increases at all.” Toole said that all of Brown County will be going through reevaluations of their taxable property, and that Brown County Auditor Doug Green said many property values were expected to fall. “The auditor said the overall taxable value decrease of property across the county could be as high as 10 percent,” added Toole. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be a 10 percent decline in tax receipts though, because the way the millage calculation works, there could be an offsetting increase in the millage rates to offset that decline in value.” Toole told the board that a lot is riding on the upcoming 1.5 mil permanent improve-
ment levy which will be on the November 8 ballot. According to Durbin, the funds from the existing permanent improvement levy generates approximately $150,000 a year, to be used for purchasing items such as books, computers, buses, for example. Durbin said he is hopeful that residents understand the levy on the ballot is a renewal levy and will not raise their taxes in any way. But it will continue, as is, generating $150,000 a year for the district. Toole reminded the board that without the permanent improvement funds from the levy the deficit for the district in 2013 will be much greater. “The way I see this,” Durbin said, “We can’t wait to see what happens. Something has to be done beginning next spring. We’re going to have to make up at least $180,000 even if the levy passes. “We have some things already in the works, because if we have to start looking at this now, because we can’t operate if we spend more money than we have in revenue.”
and strongly believes that students should not measure themselves for what they didn’t do but for what they have done. “We all need to keep this in mind regarding our schools, as well as, in our everyday life,” she said. “We need to encourage others instead of discouraging them. All current school board members have given their time and are all very concerned for the well being of our kids. It’s time for a change and a different “Attitude” brought to the table.” She concluded, “I can assure you that I will do my best to improve the well-being and future of our students, the school officials and administrative staff members.” Richey Pride

Republicans and Democrats have until March 24, 2012 to find a solution to the standoff. The longer a solution takes, the more compressed the registration window for candidates will be. The situation is even more difficult for write-in candidates for congress or President. The deadline is Dec. 24 for write in candidates under current law. At this point the bargaining position of Democrats depends on the success or failure of the signature gathering effort. “We are hopeful that the
legislature will work out a solution to this issue”, said Matt McClellan of the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office. “Legislators have indicated that they are attempting to find a compromise and we in the Secretary of State’s office hope they are successful.” State Representative Danny Bubp, who represents Brown County, is not optimistic. “Republicans are working hard to get the Democrats to compromise. Common sense says that the election needs to be on one date.”, Bubp said. Bubp said that if seven “reasonable minded” Democrats in the Ohio House agree, emergency legislation

Current member of the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education, Shane Bishop would like to ask for the support of the community in the upcoming election. “I am a graduate of Western Brown High School, class of 1988,” Bishop began, “ My wife Vanessa is a 1988 graduate of North Adams High School and a graduate of Olivet Nazarene University. “She is a substitute teacher at Western Brown and a excellent mother to our three children, Hannah, Erin and Will. “I was appointed to the
U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and graduated with a BS in Ocean Engineering and was commissioned as a US Navy Submarine officer in 1992.” Bishop served as a submarine officer for eight years and has been serving veterans since that time. He is currently a partner with Orion International, the nation’s largest military recruiting and placement company, where we work to help veterans transitioning out of the military, placing them into strong civilian careers. “I have an MBA from the University of Cincinnati,” added Bishop, “I was certified as a professional nuclear engineer by the navy. “My foremost priority has been, and will always be, to serve our community, but more accurately, our young people, as they are the leaders of tomorrow. “I believe that the board of education is charged with providing the best possible education for all students, and I am proud of the things that we have done at Western Brown in the past two years that I have served.” Bishop said he believes Western Brown Schools are on the rise and he would appreciate retaining the privilege of being able to continue representing the constituents of the district, as it continues to make tremendous strides in the field of education, with the ultimate goal of becoming one of the most outstanding schools in Ohio. “I believe that ‘leadership counts’,” he said. “and I believe that the local school system is the birthplace for leadership. Leadership is the difference between being satisfied with good and a striving, towards being the best. “This is why I am asking for your support. Let’s make Western Brown a place where today’s leaders lead, and tomorrow’s leaders are taught how to lead.”
Western Brown Schools move out of ‘District Improvement’ status, honored by state as a “School of Promise” By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Everything that can possibly be done to save money at Western Brown Local Schools is being done, according to Superintendent Chris Burrows. “We have made continuous efforts to cut our expenses whereever possible,” Burrows said. “We have made multiple sacrifices this past year but at the same time managed to maintain the quality of the education we offer our students.” Burrows listed the following cuts or changes made in the district in the past year including: • transportation costs have reduced because of leasing vans from Southern Hills Career Tech Center, (“Some of our coaches went through the training to drive these vans, which eliminates paying bus drivers,” Burrows said.); • all transportation trips outside of getting students to and from school (academic and extra-curricular) are charged 1/3 of the total trip; • currently working on effi-

to slowly hire most of them back.” Pride said the district is facing yet another $150,000 cut and hard decisions will have to be made again by the board. “We’ve made some changes in our bus routes to save money and made other changes in our transportation. One of the best things we done is get Western involved in the Energy Conservation Program, which is a win, win program for our schools. They guarantee we will save money or they pay the difference.” Pride attributes the board for making some great decisions, including selecting a very competent treasurer (Dennis Dunlap) and selecting the new superintendent (Christopher Burrows) earlier this year. “I would like to thank everyone for their continued confidence in me as a board member,” Pride stated.
could be passed to resolve the issue. Bubp added that House Bill 318 has language in it that says the state will pay back the cost of a second primary to counties in Ohio. The state Legislative Service Commission estimates that cost to be approximately $15 million dollars statewide. The new law also eliminates an August 12, 2012, special election and allows local entities such as school boards to share the ballot at no cost if they choose to run a levy campaign or similar issue.
ciency of routing system; • signed a contract with Energy Education to closely monitor energy conservation and usage (projected $2.2 million in savings over 10 years); • cut back on garbage pickup by two days through recycling; • employees took over mowing and care of grounds; • team cleaning of buildings allows the school to cover more area with less people); • removed individual classroom printers; • timers set on computers to ensure shut down each evening; • teachers now print to copiers and students print to laser printers in the lab; • technology utilized instead of making paper copies, I-Pads are used for collecting and disseminating data. I-Pads will also be used for board meetings and other administrative meetings instead of paper copies; • most employees that resign, retire or are nonrenewed will not be replaced; • paperless system of purchase orders, requisitions and leave forms will be implemented. “We are proud of everyone’s efforts to make Western Brown Schools as efficient as they can possibly be,” added Burrows. “These are all joint efforts by the entire staff at Western.” Burrows said Heather Cooper, principal of Western Brown High School recently received a letter from the Ohio Department of Education congratulating the high school for earning it’s status of “School of Promise” for the 20102011 school year, based on the schools most recent state report card. According to a letter letter from the ODE, only an elite group of 122 Ohio schools received the recognition and honor of being a ‘School of Promise.’ The School of Promise initiative began in 2003 and has worked to gather data regarding successful lessons learned from successful schools,

including areas of reading/language arts, students with disabilities, mathematics, teachers effectiveness and effective practices. “This ‘School of Promise’ recognition is important to our school because it deals with all our students,” Burrows said. “In our district, 40 percent or more of our students come from low-income homes.” Western Brown also recently received recognition for moving out of ‘District Improvement’ status by the Ohio Department of Education. The percentage of students scoring proficient or above on state tests increased on 21 of the 26 indicators and Ohio students met the state’s performance goal on 17 of those 26 indicators. In the letter from the ODE, they thanked all the educators at Western Brown School District for advocating tirelessly for students, encouraging them to take rigorous coursework, and providing them with the supports they need to be successful. “Our students continue to excel here at Western,” Burrows said, “We are really excited about how far our students have come in such a short time. The teaching staff at Western Brown Schools deserve all the credit in the world.”

Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope donates thousands of new panties to worthy organizations By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press
B R O A D S H E E T E V E N
Earlier this year, in mid July, the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope, sponsored an event to help raise awareness of cervical cancer. The event was called “Panties Across the Bridge” and was held in downtown Cincinnati and Newport, KY using the Purple People Bridge. The foundation was organized shortly after the death of Jaymie Lynn Jamison, a Hamersville mother of four. Jamison lost her battle with cervical cancer February 6 in her home, after a one year struggle. The Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope was the result of her death. Their sole purpose is to spread the word to woman everywhere that early detection is their best fight against cervical cancer. According to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition, over 11,000 women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer this year, and of those, at least 4,000 will die. “Jaymie was only 34 years old,” said her mother-in-law, Evonne Daugherty. “She was a beautiful, happy, healthy young woman, and fought her disease with everything she had. And now, her foundation will continue fighting this disease by getting the word out to get tested, as often as we can.” Following the Panties across the Bridge event, the foundation found itself with over 4,000 pairs of brand new panties. Daugherty and her daughter Sissie Whitaker, recently delivered the panties to Cincinnati and donated them to the “Dress for Success” and a homeless shelter. The Dress for Success is an organization who’s sole mission is to advance low-income women’s economic and social development and to encour-

age self-sufficiency through career development and employment. “Dress for Success is a wonderful place for lowincome women,” Daugherty said. “They offer beautiful professional attire to help women dress for their jobs.” The foundation plans on sponsoring the ‘Panties Across the Bridge’ once again in 2012, and Daugherty said she would like to find an organization in Brown County to donate the panties to. “The Jamie Jamison Foundation for Hope had a booth at this year’s Brown County Fair,” Daugherty added. “We just can’t thank the fair board enough for hanging huge banners and allowing us to sponsor the cheerleading competition. “So many people visited our booth and shared their stories about how cervical cancer has effected their families. We could certainly relate to their pain.” Daugherty said the foundation would also like to thank

Eastern dominates Fairfield to earn trip to district final By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press There was no doubt who the better team was on the field on Monday night at Eastern. With a trip to the Southeast Division III District final on the line, the No. 1 seed Eastern boys soccer team dominated No. 4 seed Fairfield. The Warriors played their best game of the season as they controlled the ball all night, passed extremely well and defended the few Lion attacks with relative ease in the 4-0 victory. “I don’t think there was a single player on the field that had an off night tonight,” Eastern coach Dylan Fain said. Coming off of sloppy performance in their sectional championship win over North Adams on October 19, it was apparent from the start that the Warriors were much more focused against the Lions and were on top of their game. Just six minutes into the game and the Warriors had already gotten two good opportunities at the net. The first sailed wide right while the second sailed just high. After that, the Lions put on two attacks that turned out to be two of the visitors best chances for a goal. With about 30 and a half minutes left in the half, Fairfield got on a run to the goal but defender Curtis Burns and keeper Nathan Scott were able to force the ball out. Minutes later Scott made an easy save on a Fairfield shot

after he had tried to catch a ball in the air but wasn’t able to. The free ball went to a Fairfield player for the shot that Scott easily saved. It was nearly the last time the Lions really had a good chance at the goal. Fain said part of the reason was because his defenders played a new defense he tried out so well but also because the back line of Burns, Brandon Belcher, Brandon Barber and Patrick Beckler were just on their game. “The Brandons held it down tonight,” Fain said. “Burns and Beckler both did excellent on the outside.” Finally, with 24:45 left in the half, the Warriors got one into the back of the net. Jordan Payne got a ball in the middle, settled it and just
kind of lofted it up and over the Fairfield keeper for the goal and the 1-0 lead. And though Warriors continued to attack for the rest of the half they weren’t able to get anything to go past the Fairfield keeper. Payne had three more shots that just missed in the final 15 minutes of the half. The final two just missed. With about 13 minutes to go, Payne got a pass from teammate Chase Lawson on a give and go and his shot towards the far post just went missed by a foot or so. A minute or so later, off a pass from Landan Hauke, Payne drilled a shot destined for the back of the net but was snatched out of the air at the last second. Those were just two of the
35 shots the Warriors bombarded the Lions goal with. “Their keeper, hats off to him,” Fain said. “He made probably five spectacular saves.” Payne added his second goal early in the second half on another perfectly executed possession. Lawson, who Fain said played his usual strong game controlling the ball in the midfield, made a run behind the defense down the right sideline into the corner. He then lofted a perfect cross that went just over the keeper and found an open Payne feet from the goal. Payne’s easy header put the Warriors up 2-0. For the rest of the game, it was simply just the Warriors dominating on the offense end of the field. They possessed the ball for a large majority of the half and continued to put shots on goal. Meanwhile, the few shots the Lions could muster to put on Scott he stopped with relative ease. The one shot that looked to have a good chance to find net, Scott made a fantastic play where he dove to his right and stretched his right arm out to corral the ball just before it went into the net. And after possessing the ball all half and putting shot after shot on goal, Hauke and Lawson finally got the ball to find net after consistently just missing on each of their attempts before. Hauke scored with about 11 minutes left when he took a pass from Payne and dribbled in to just a couple yards out
and drilled a shot for the 3-0 lead. Just over half a minute later, Lawson got on a run into the Lions box where he was fouled. He took the penalty kick and nailed it to finish the scoring for the evening. With his team performing so well Fain struggled to find the one or two small things that his team kind of didn’t do well. “The only thing, if I have one complaint, is that our runs were behind people instead of in front of people a couple times,” he said half-heartedly. “But really that’s nitpicking.” Now the Warriors -- who
remain undefeated at 13-0-1 - will travel to Jackson to battle Coshocton at Jackson High School on Saturday afternoon. Fain is confident that if his team plays like they did against the Lions -- who they had previously had to battle with to earn wins two other times this season -- they will very hard to beat. “If we play like that I don’t think the team we play in the next round is going to be able to play with us either,” Fain said, “because Fairfield’s not a bad team and we made them look like a team that doesn’t belong to be here.”

Broncos find way to hold on for win on Senior Night It had to feel like deja vu for the Western Brown football team last Friday night. The Broncos had jumped out to a 17-0 lead over visiting Batavia but were watching the Bulldogs battle back. When Batavia’s KeShawn Foley found his way into the endzone with about 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the Broncos held just a 17-13 lead and had to be thinking of the team’s loss to Amelia the week before. Unlike the game a week before against the Barons -which saw the Broncos jump out to a 17-0 lead before watching Amelia score 20 unanswered points for the comeback win -- the Broncos defense came up with the stop late in the game to help them come away with a 17-13 win on Senior Night at Kibler Stadium. “A win is a win on Friday nights,” Western Brown coach Evan Dreyer said. “It wasn’t pretty but it got the job done. “It was nice Senior Night to showcase the guys. Zaine Clark made a couple big plays. Nick Woodyard -- and the senior O-line -- finally found the running game. Our senior defense stepped up when it needed to.” While it took the Broncos offense a little time to get moving early on, their defensive counterparts were on top of their game from the start. Playing physically against a team that had some size, the Broncos defense did not allow the Bulldogs anything in the first half. Of their six first half drives, the Bulldogs punted after going three and out five times. The other drive ended after two plays when the Broncos forced a fumble. It was such a dominating first half performance by the Broncos defense that the Bulldogs did not run one play on the Western Brown side of

the field. “The first half they didn’t get anything,” Dreyer said. As quick as the defense started, the offense seemed to be just the opposite. They struggled to get consistency early on. They broke through on the scoreboard with about four and a half minutes left in the first quarter. Starting inside Batavia territory at the Bulldogs 49 yard line, the Broncos mixed Nick and Gunner Woodyard running plays with Nick Woodyard passing plays to Devyn Wood (5 yards) and Mike Lindsey (12 yard) to set the Broncos up at the Batavia six yard line. However, a false start and two incomplete passes stalled the drive and forced a Justin Berkley field goal attempt. Berkley nailed the 26 yard field goal to put the Broncos up 3-0. After the teams traded punts, the Broncos defense got a turnover.
They forced Bulldogs fullback Ryan Gormley to fumble. Jake Latham recovered the ball at the Batavia 32 for the Broncos. And the Broncos wasted no time getting on the board. Nick Woodyard’s 10 yard run and Gunner Woodyard’s three yard run set the Broncos up with a third and seven from the Batavia 10 yard line. On a quarterback draw, Nick sprinted up the middle and dove into the endzone for the touchdown to put the Broncos up 10-0. Even with the score the Broncos were still looking for something to give them a boost to keep their offense rolling -- something it hadn’t been able to do for the Amelia game and early in the Batavia game. They found what they needed when they surprised the Bulldogs with an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff. Western Brown’s Kevin McCoy recovered the kick to give the ball back to the
Broncos offense. “We just needed a spark,” Dreyer said of the play. “Our special teams coach (Jeff Essig) had it planned all out this week to kind of see if we could get that spark -- like what we needed versus Amelia -- and kind of spark us a little bit more. I think it was a great call. Good job to the special teams.” It did seem to be the answer as Nick Woodyard -- who hooked up with Clark for a 33 yard play on the first play of the drive -- ran in for an 11 yard score on the second play of the drive to quickly give the Broncos a 17-0 lead they took into halftime. Nick Woodyard ran for 118 yards on the night on 19 carries and the two scores. He passed for 194 yards while he completed 17/28 passes. It looked as if the second half was going to pick up right where the first half ended. Following a three and out punt by Batavia, the Broncos offense took the ball and started driving down field. But after an 11 yard hookup between Nick Woodyard and Jarred Haggerty set the Broncos up at the Bulldogs 35 yard line, the drive stalled. A sack and false start penalty backed the Broncos offense up. Berkley came on to try a 47 yard field goal but came up just short. That is, however, when the Bulldogs offense finally found some holes in the Broncos defense. Starting at their own 20 yard line after the missed field goal, the Bulldogs drove down the field. The big play was a 37 yard rumble by the fullback Gormley. His play set the Bulldogs up inside the five yard line and two plays later Gormley pounded it in from a yard out to bring the Bulldogs to within 10, 17-7. On the next Broncos possession, the Bulldogs got another big play.
They intercepted a Nick Woodyard pass that was tipped off the hands of receiver Lindsey. When the Bulldogs got the ball back they continued to pound the Broncos defense. Seven runs later and Foley had scored the seven yard touchdown that brought the Bulldogs within four, 17-13, with the entire fourth quarter yet to play. “Our defense got a little bit worn down and (is) smaller,” Dreyer said. “ When our defense has to be out there for consecutive drives...it just hurts them a little bit. It’s not our conditioning, it’s who we are. We’re not a very big team.” Unlike the week before, however, the Broncos were able to keep their offense on the field in the fourth quarter. Though they didn’t score the Broncos ran the ball well to keep the clock running and keep the ball away from the Bulldogs. Much of the heavy lifting in
the final quarter was done by Gunner Woodyard. He ran 11 times in the quarter and picked up 38 yards to help the Broncos secure the victory. He ran 67 total on the night. “We were able to run the ball in the third and fourth quarter and kind of keep the ball in our hands this time,” Dreyer said. “I think Gunner Woodyard stepped up in the third and fourth quarter to show us what he can do with the ball. He did a great job of controlling the clock and getting first downs when we needed them.” Though they controlled the ball in the second half since they didn’t score the Broncos were going to have to come up with a stop. They did just that as the defense forced Foley into a completion for a short gain and three incompletion's -including Justin Longbottom’s pass breakup of the Bulldog’s final attempt -to seal the victory.

Girls Soccer Ripley advances to sectional championship before losing The Lady Jays beat Felicity last Thursday night 1-0 in double overtime before losing to the No. 2 team in the state, Mariemont, in the Southwest Division III sectional championship 10-0. Ripley went to Felicity on a cold, rainy and dreary night and won when Jessica Garrison scored the game’s lone goal with about a minute left in the second overtime to advance to the sectional title game. “It’s the first time in school history to make it sectional final,” Ripley coach Amanda Hauck said. “We’ve got to be pleased with that. (Felicity game) was a nail biter.” Their season came to end on Monday night when they fell to Mariemont. The No. 1 seed in the sectional was just too much for the Lady Jays. They finished their season at 7-9-2. Eastern loses in district semifinal The Lady Warriors strong season came to end on Tuesday evening when they lost a heart-

behind and started playing careful instead of playing aggressive.” The team finished 12-9 on the season. “We had a good season this year,” DeVries said. “We tried some new offenses and were very successful with them.” Eastern falls to No. 1 seed Adena After securing a first round win in the Southeast Division III sectional, the Lady Warriors traveled to battle No. 1 seed Adena last Saturday in second round action. Unfortunately for the Lady Warriors, the top seed proved to be too much as their season came to an end in a straight sets defeat. They lost 25-9, 25-2 and 25-8. Ripley falls to CHCA Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy ended the Lady Jays season in the second round of the Southwest Division III sectional at Blanchester last Thursday night. The Lady Eagles won 25-8, 25-10 and 25-7. The talented CHCA squad was just too much for the young Lady Jays squad that was missing regular setter Kelci Bowling, who was playing in the girls soccer sectional game. “The girls played as well as could be expected considering the talent level of the competition,” Ripley coach Aimee Carpenter said. “The girls played well at the beginning of each set but CHCA played smart volleyball.” Despite playing an older, talented team the young Lady Jays squad didn’t give in. “The team played well together and played aggressive until the end,” Carpenter said. “I was extremely pleased with the effort of the entire team.”

Western Brown falls to Mason The Broncos put up a good fight against Southwest Division I sectional No. 4 seed Mason before losing 5-0 last Thursday night. “We battled extremely hard,” Broncos coach Kyle Fender said. “The game was a scoreless tie for about the first 20 minutes. At that point, Mason's frustrated coach cleared his bench and put a completely new, fresh line-up in the game.” The new lineup helped the Comets out to a lead and the deeper Mason team proved to be too much for the Broncos. Jon Hayes had two shots in the first half while Logan Easterling had one. Keeper Ben Lamb made nine saves for the Broncos. “I feel like we put up a good fight and played very well at times, especially in the first half,” Fender said.

Georgetown’s season comes to an end against CNE Clermont Northeastern ended the Lady G-Men’s season last Thursday with a 2-0 victory in the second round of the Southwest District Division III sectional. The Lady G-Men ended their season at 4-12-1. Boys Soccer Fayetteville falls to Seven Hills The Rockets lost 3-0 to Seven Hills in the second round of the Southwest District Division III sectional last Saturday. “They were a great team,” Fayetteville coach Craig Smucker said. “Easily the best team we played all year.” Despite the loss, the Rockets put up a fight. “We were competitive,” Smucker said. “We had some chances in the first half.” The loss ended the Rockets season with a 9-6-3 record. Ripley ends season with loss to Madeira With numbers low and a roster full of a number of inexperienced players, the Blue Jays knew this season was going to be a battle.

And the Blue Jays were matched up against No. 2 seed Madeira in their first sectional game. The state ranked Madeira
It was a successful day for several local cross country teams last Saturday morning at their respective district races. In the Southwest District III race at Voice of America Park in West Chester, both the boys and girls teams from Georgetown performed very well and earned trips to this Saturday’s regional in Troy. The Fayetteville girls team also qualified for a trip to the Troy regiona l with a top four finish at the same race. Meanwhile, in the Southeast District race at the University of Rio Grande, the Eastern boys cross country team’s strong performance netted them a regional appearance. They will race this Saturday at the regional in Pickerington. Leading the way for the Georgetown teams strong performances were a couple of familiar faces -- leading runners Nick McAfee and Kylie Watson. McAfee won his ninth straight race in 16:21. He finished five seconds ahead of second place finisher Kyle Kistinger of Cincinnati Country Day. Though McAfee had been training with his eye on the regional race, his performance at the district race -- one his top three performances of the season -- was strong considering the competition. “It’s a pretty tough district,” Georgetown coach Chad Sexton said . “Division III is actually tougher than Division II this year. He performed really well.” In addition to McAfee, Kyle Damen qualified to regionals as an individual. He finished in 11th place. Teammate Antonio Hill finished in 20th place while Jordan Kattine finished in 26th. Hill’s finish was solid considering this is his first year running cross country. “He’s never ran cross country before so that w as pretty surprising,” Sexton said of Hill. “He’s doing great. He’s a really hard worker.” Watson led the way for the girls team. She finished second overall to race winner Julianna Overbey of Mariemont.

The Eastern boys cross country team placed third at the Southeast District Division III race at the University of Rio Grande last Saturday.
“It was an okay time for her,” Sexton said of Watson. “It was twenty seconds off what she had been running. We’re looking for her to pop a big time at regionals.” The girls team performance was a pleasant sur prise. With numbers down recently, the Lady G-Men hadn’t been able to compete as a team -- which means they have at least five runners competing in a race -- for some time. This year as a team they’ve performed well. They won the Southern Buckeye Conference National Division race and advanced to regionals. “We’re very excited to field a girls team and go to regional meet,” Sexton said. “Real big step for the girls.” Karley Miller performed well for the Lady G-Men as she came in ninth place. Considering her year -- she was diagnosed with low iron earlier in the season after she seemed to be visibly struggling after a really strong summer -- advancing to regionals individually was quite an accomplishment for Miller. “Big accomplishment to have to struggled with something like that and still come back to salv age your season,” Sexton said of Miller. Becca Moe (22nd place) and Becca Whitaker (25th) rounded out the strong performance for the Lady G-Men. Both Fayetteville teams, as well as the Ripley girls team, were in action at the Division
III race at Voice of America Park. The Fayetteville girls team advanced to the regional with a fourth place team finish. Megan Eyre paced the way for the Lady Rockets as she f inished in 14th place with a time of 22:08. Teammates Amanda O’Donnell (26th), Courtney Johnson (30th) and Makayla Rosselot (36th) rounded out the team’s strong showing. The Rockets boys team finsihed their season with a 12th place team finish. D.J. Iles nearly qualified as an individual for the Rockets. He finished 18th -- two spots from qualifying. The Ripley girls cross country team just missed advan cing to the regionals as they finished in fifth place. Samara Hawkins paced the Lady Jays with a 28th place finish. Teammates Brianna Payne (32nd) and Stacy White (35th) were just behind. In the loaded Division I sectional at Voice of America Park, the Western Brown girls and boys team weren’t able to advance. The boys team finished in 11th place. Mason won the race. Gage Perkins (61st) led the way with teammates Rick Pride (62nd), Tony Sharp (64) and Brady Patrick (67th) right behind. Just like the boys race, the Lady Broncos finished 11th in a race won by Mason.
Anna Mefford (70th) led the way while teammates Lindsey Duncanson (73rd) and Kelsa Gruber (76th) were right behind. While the rest of the local schools raced in West Chester, the Eastern boys cross country team was in action at the University of Rio Grande in the Southeast District race. The Warriors raced to a third place finish simply because they were rested. “I gave them a rest before districts,” Eastern coach Tom Glasscock said. “They ran their hearts out. They were fresh.” Glasscock said his team was tired as the season was coming down the stretch. With new life after a week off from running, the Warriors beat everyone but Fairfield who had beat t hem at the Southern Hills League conference race the week before. They finished in last place at the SHL race. Layne Pickerell finished in sixth place with a time of 18:20. “He never wavered from that spot,” Glasscock said. Pickerell had plenty of help, however. Teammates Josh Boudreau (22nd), Connor Patrick (30th) and Alex Brewer (31st) helped the Warriors advance to the regional race. “The other guys jus t stepped up to the plate,” Glasscock said.

breaker in the Southeast District Division III district semifinal against No. 2 seed Zane Trace 21 in overtime in Chillicothe. The No. 3 seed Lady Warriors dominated for nearly the entire game. Alison Prine scored Eastern’s goal in the first half and the Lady Warriors were a little less than four minutes away from advancing when Zane Trace scored on a breakaway to send the game to overtime. They then connected on a perfect play in overtime to sneak away with the win over the Lady Warriors. “It was the best game I’ve seen my girls play all year,” Eastern coach Sarah Koehler said. “It was a heartbreaking loss. I felt like (Eastern) played better and deserved to win.” Eastern had advanced to that game with a 9-0 win over Chesapeake last Saturday at home in their first tournament game. Prine scored four goals in the game and five fellow Lady Warriors notched a goal. “Overall, they played as a team,” Koehler said of the win. “Just a really good performance.” With the loss, the Lady Warriors ended their season at 13-5. Western Brown falls to Batavia The Lady Broncos fell to Batavia last Thursday night in the Southwest District Division II sectional in the cold rain by a score of 6-1.

Strong second half pushes Western Brown comes up Rockets to third football win short in sectional final against undefeated Wyoming For the second straight week the Fayetteville football team found itself trailing at halftime. This time the host Rockets were down 15 points, 27-12, to a solid Grove City Christian squad. And just like the previous week against Manchester, the Rockets responded with a big second half. Against Grove City, however, the Rockets played some of their best football of the season in the second half en route to scoring 20 unanswered points to secure a 3227 victory last Friday night in Fayetteville. “We could have easily folded when we went down 27-12 and we didn’t,” Fayetteville coach Harley McCullough said. “We came out of halftime ready to play some football. I think they are realizing ‘Hey we can win.’ “It kind of springs over from Manchester. We came out that second half and started playing some ball. We went in down again and we’re going to come out and play some football and we can do it. They’re starting to believe.” In the second half against Grove City Christian, the Rockets played like they did, indeed, believe they could come back and win. That was largely because the Rockets defense set the tone for the half. After giving up 27 points in the first half -- including 21 straight points after the Rockets scored on their opening possession on a Luke Allen 65-yard touchdown run to give them a 6-0 lead -- the Rockets defense gave up nothing in the second half. They kept the Grove City offense from gaining any traction in the half by forcing key turnovers when they were driving. They forced two interceptions and two fumbles. “It’s getting better every week,” McCullough said of his defense. “We’re playing better and better. It was nice to shut them out for a half.” While the defense was doing its part, the Rockets offense did theirs. They picked up in the second half where they left off in the first -- running the ball down the field.

Fayetteville quarterback Tanner Williams (shown here throwing the ball against Williamsburg on September 9) ran for two scores in the Rockets victory over Grove City Christian last Friday night. Williams was 8-11 passing.
Unlike the first half, however, the Rockets were able to finish their drives in the second half. Using a power running game with a little bit of the option thrown in, the Rockets were able to score three big touchdowns in the final quarter for the win. Fullback Dave Kranz scored the first touchdown of the half when he dove in from two yards out for the score. It made it a 27-20 game after quarterback Tanner Williams hit Kranz for the two point conversion. Then tailback Cody Shaw got the Rockets six more with a four yard scoring run. Instead of going for the point after to tie, McCullough went for the two point conversion. It failed and the Rockets trailed 27-26 with time running down. “At one point it was 27-26 and I go for two, I go for the win,” McCullough said. “We didn’t make it. We end up getting the ball back and scoring. We were going for the win all night long.” They got the win on their next possession after the Rockets defense forced a Grove City three and out. Using that running game, the Rockets drove down the field. Williams -- who scored the Rockets second touchdown right before halftime on an very nice 62 yard scamper -went in from a yard out on a
quarterback sneak for the 3227 win. It was the Rockets insideoutside combination of Allen (30 carries, 131 yards 1 TD), Kranz (14 for 49 yards 1 TD) and Williams (13 for 90 yards 2 TDs) on the ground that helped them get the win. “Some power and some speed. They’re different kind of running backs,” McCullough said of Allen and Kranz. “We can alternate some people in and Tanner makes things happen when we can run the option with him. We can come at you in different ways.” Williams then intercepted a pass on Grove City’s final possession to seal the win. As the season has went on for the Rockets the young team has started to feel more comfortable. With the coaches finding the right spots for players, the Rockets are hitting a groove. They’ve won two in a row and looked to finish their season with their third straight win, and fourth overall, against Gamble Montessori on Saturday evening. “They keep working harder and harder and that’s all we ask of them,” McCullough said. “They give us everything they got. I think they’re starting to feel like, hey, we’ve got success. We’ve got three wins...(We’ve) got one more.” The win improved the Rockets to 3-6 on the season.

GOSHEN-- If you could pretend that the second set didn’t happen, the Western Brown volleyball team didn’t play all that badly in the Southwest District Division II sectional championship match against Wyoming last Saturday afternoon in Goshen. The Lady Broncos -- the sectional No. 3 seed -- played strong defensively against an aggressive attack and were able to set up some offensive attacks of their own against the talented Cowboys. But while they battled Wyoming -- the undefeated No. 1 seed -- in the first and third sets before dropping each, they were knocked back on their heels by two confusing calls by an official in the second set and fell to the Cowboys 3-0. Wyoming won 25-16, 25-7 and 25-18. “I thought we played with them the first and third set,” Lady Broncos coach Carla Fite sai d. “I wish the second set wouldn’t had ever happened. (The official) calling all that stuff on them broke their focus.” The Cowboys jumped out to a quick start in the first set and were able to push their lead to as many as eight before the Lady Broncos battled back. With Leah Leist serving, the Lady Broncos cut a 14-6 deficit to 14-11 thanks to Leist’s solid serving, which including an ace, and a kill from middle hitter Mackaela Fischer. But that was as close as the Lady Broncos could get in the opening set. While they were trailing and the Cowboys were keeping the pressure on the Lady Broncos, the second set seemed to be somewhat of a turning point for the match. When Wyoming’s Clara Rodrigue took the serve, the second set was tied at two

apiece. By the time that Lady Bronco Becca DeBord got a block to final ly break Rodrigue’s serve, Wyoming was well on its way to victory up 18-3. During the 16 point streak, the Lady Broncos were twice called for being out of rotation. That means that two of the Lady Broncos players were overlapping as the Cowboys were serving or that they were moving too soon from their position. What confused the Lady Broncos was that the official called it two different ways and on different players. The calls had an effect on the Lady Broncos in the set. “It frustrated them and it was hard for them to put it back together that second set,” Fite said. She added, “It’s frustrating when you go all season like that and not one ref calls it.” Given the depth of hole they had to climb out of, the Lady

Broncos weren’t able to mount a comeback in that second set and lost 25-7. In the third set, howev er, the Lady Broncos got down early 8-2 before continually fighting back. They got as close as four points in the final set off of a Ashleigh Huiet service ace and a Wyoming illegal hit. While they continued to fight and scrap, the Lady Broncos could never get closer than five points as their season came to end against the No. 1 team in the state in Division II. Though they lost in straight sets, it wasn’t as if the Lady Broncos played a poor overall match. If you take out the Cowboys 16 point streak in the second set, the Lady Broncos were never out of it. And they didn’t hurt themselves as they had just two service errors. In the end, it was just that the Cowboys -- who were very athletic and tall with three girls standing at least 6 ft., 1 in. and obviously talented -- who won the long volleys that saw the La dy Broncos get a big dig or block to keep a point going before Wyoming would finish it. “They do move a lot quicker than most teams we play,” Fite said. “Their offense is quicker than what we’re used to. But I felt our defense -- our blocking and even our digs -were good.” The loss ended the Lady Broncos season at 20-3. Reaching the sectional championship match and winning the Southern Buckeye Conferen ce American Division with a perfect 10-0 record made it a memorable first season at Western Brown for Fite. “I enjoyed it tremendously,” she said. “They’re a wonderful, wonderful group of girls. Their attitudes were good. They played as a team. Everyone got along. They were a team that I think any coach would like to have. “For my first year here at Western Brown it was a great year.” The Lady Broncos will sa y goodbye to senior setter Elizabeth Carter, defensive specialist Taylor Patten, libero Huiet and outside hitter Alli Morgan.

It was not the most ideal conditions for a game of any kind last Thursday night in Fayetteville. Temperatures hovered around 40 degrees and a light but steady rain fell all night long. A brisk wind made matters much, much worse. Needless to say it wasn’t the perfect night for soccer as the Fayetteville girls soccer team hosted Seven Hills in a second round Southwest District Division III sectional game. And those conditions came into play as the Lady Stingers lone goal -- a goal that turned out to be the difference in the game -- was aided by the wet and windy conditions as the Lady Rockets season came to end with a 1-0 loss. “We worked hard and played in the same mess they did,” Fayetteville coach Jim Schmidt said. “It was a slop field tonight.” He continued, “We laid it out there on the line tonight. We didn’t want the season to end.” The teams played a fairly even first half. Neither team was able to score but both were able to get some shots off as they each had six shots on goal in the half. However, thanks to each respective defense and keeper, neither team really had many good opportunities at the net. Early in the half, the Lady Stingers were the aggressors and controlled possession in the Lady Rockets half. Despite keeping the ball in the Fayetteville end, they didn’t find many shots. That was because of a strong defensive effort of the Lady Rockets. The play of Betsy Wiederhold, Amanda O’Donnell, Destiny Jester and Rachel Gauche in the back end was solid all night, but particularly early on, as the Lady Stingers attacked. While the Lady Rockets defenders were keeping the Lady Stingers off the board, the Lady Rockets began to control possession more towards the end of the half. Megan Eyre got off a shot for the Lady Rockets with about six minutes left in the half but it went just right of the goal and kept the game scoreless. Thanks to a big play by

keeper Cheyenne Ramey, the game stayed that way as the teams went into the halftime break. A Seven Hills forward got on a run past the defense and got off a shot but Ramey made a nice diving stop on the ball to keep it from going in. Overall, the Lady Rockets played a solid first half. “The girls did their jobs,” Schmidt said. For most of the second half, it was much of the same. Each team would possess some in the others half and would get off the occasional shot but, again, none were great opportunities thanks to the defense. As the game inched closer towards the end of the regulation, however, play started to pick up. Seven Hills got on another run behind the defense but Wiederhold made a really nice defensive play by racing back to get in front of the Lady Stingers forward and punching the ball out of bounds. Finally, with 12:34 left in the game, and unfortunately for the Lady Rockets, Seven Hills broke through. Lady Stingers keeper Zoe Pochobradsky, who took all the teams free kicks, took one from about 10 yards in from midfield. Pochobradsky, who Schmidt knew had the ability to boot the ball, did just that. Her kick, however, got some help. It got up in the wind and just kept on floating and floating. When it eventually landed, Ramey got her hands on it but with the wet conditions she just wasn’t able to bring it in before it bounced into the
corner of the net. “I do believe the weather contributed to the goal,” Schmidt said. “It got caught up in the win and changed directions.” The goal lit a fire under the Lady Rockets. With their season on the line they went to work. Ashley Moore nearly got the equalizer with nine and a half minutes left. She dribbled up the right side and from about 15 or 20 yards out she uncorked a shot that looked headed for the top right corner of the goal. It just sailed over the goal, inches from going in. Just about a minute later, teammate Brianna Plapp nearly got the equalizer herself when she got the ball in front of the goal. Unfortunately, Plapp’s shot from 10 or so yards out just missed to the left. It was the last opportunity the Lady Rockets would get. “We hit frame twice,” Schmidt said. “They were good shots.” Despite the tough, hard fought loss, Schmidt was still proud of his team for their stellar season. The Lady Rockets finished the season 12-5 with losses to Southern Hills League champ Lynchburg-Clay, Division II state top five team Columbus St. Francis DeSales and a good Hillsboro team. “Overall, I’m happy with how the season turned out,” he said. “I thought we had a great opportunity to play for a sectional championship. “I’m proud of the team work ethic and how they played.

Lady Rockets run in sectional comes to end against CHCA in title match By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press BLANCHESTER-- The Southwest Division III sectional championship match started off well for the Fayetteville volleyball team. They jumped out to an early lead on No. 2 seed Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy in the first set and were able to keep it for much of the set. Once the Lady Eagles took the lead in that first set, however, they were able to take control the rest of the match as they captured the sectional title 3-0 despite a valiant effort from the No. 5 seed Lady Rockets last Saturday night at Blanchester High School. CHCA won 25-16, 25-14 and 25-18. “There were some early moments when I thought we were hanging with them,” Fayetteville coach Sharon Sheets said. “Watching them play on (October 20) we knew that they were strong from the middle and strong with their serves. We practiced covering the middle hitter (and) that worked to an extent.” The Lady Rockets jumped out to an 3-1 lead before the Lady Eagles tied the set at four. Lincoln Smyth got the Lady Rockets the lead back when she tapped a ball over the net. Her kill gave Fayetteville a 7-6 lead. Lady Rocket teammate Lydia Tissandier’s kill pushed the lead to two, 8-6. That was the point when the Lady Rockets lost their momentum. With the score tied at 13, the Lady Eagles used their strong play in the middle at the net to take a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. While the Lady Eagles were finding their groove with their athleticism at the net, the Lady Rockets started to struggle getting their attacks going. And the Lady Eagles took full advantage to cruise to a 25-16 first set victory. “Our momentum went downhill when we were not passing very well,” Sheets said. “We couldn't get any solid hits to go down because of our poor serve reception of the ball.” CHCA jumped out to 9-1 lead in the second set thanks to their strong serving. They were successfully able to place the ball into the open spaces in the Lady Rocket defense. “CHCA had great servers who placed the ball in the troublesome spots,” Sheets said. “They have that mastered.” Despite the deficit, the Lady Rockets tried to fight back. They got within six, 11-5, on a block by Clair Carson

and Carly Burroughs. After the Lady Eagles pushed their lead back to seven, a Gabby Valentine kill and two Lady Eagle hits out brought the Lady Rockets all the way back to within four, 16-12. That was as close as they would get though. Using their advantage at the net, the Lady Eagles quickly closed out the second set for a 2-0 lead. And it looked like the Lady Eagles were going to cruise to victory after they had jumped out to a 19-10 lead in the third set. But the Lady Rockets weren’t going to let them just walk their way to a victory. Taking the serve with her team down nine, Shelby Sheets started the Lady Rockets on the comeback. Her first three serves resulted in three quick points on aces. Teammate McKenna Hammons two straight kills brought the Lady Rockets to within four, 19-15. Two more points on balls the Lady Eagles couldn’t return put the Lady Rockets down just two, 19-17. However, the Lady Rockets scored just one more point as the Lady Eagles height at the net dominated the rest of the set and they scored the final five points for the match victory. “We had a few times when we got on some runs but they were few and far between,”
Sharon Sheets said. Despite the loss, Sheets was proud of her team and the season they had. Though they weren’t able to meet their preseason goal of winning the Southern Hills League -- they finished as runners up to Fairfield -- the Lady Rockets did accomplish their goal of advancing in the tournament. They beat East Clinton and Georgetown in sectional play to reach the sectional final. “I am very proud of my team,” Sheets said. “We wanted to have a good tournament run and we accomplished that for this season. The girls played with a lot of heart throughout the season. It was a great season for the Lady Rocket Volleyball team.” The future is bright for the Lady Rockets, who finished the season with a 14-8 record. Six of the 10 players who played a majority of the time were either freshman or sophomores. But the Lady Rockets do bid farewell to senior outside hitter Tissandier, middle blocker Kathyrn Fitzpatrick, libero Tiffany Mountain and defensive specialist Kaitlyn James. The group was a big part of the success at Fayetteville for the past few seasons. “I will definitely miss our seniors,” Sheets said. “They have worked hard and displayed a lot of talent and leadership.”

BSC Intimidators league and tourney champs The Beechmont Soccer Club boys U11 team -- which includes players from Georgetown, Mt. Orab and Hamersville -- finished their fall season as league champions in the Cincinnati United South League. The team led their division with 21 goals scored which matched with a strong defense that gave up a mere seven goals. The Intimidators wrapped up their season in the Haunted Classic Soccer Tournament in Beavercreek. With nearly 500 teams in the tournament, the Intimidators faced tough competition. They began the tournament battling a strong Dayton team before falling 2-1. They rebounded in game two to record a shutout against Sidney, 1-0. The team needed a three point victory against Gahanna/New Albany to move on to the finals. Gahanna led most of the game but the Intimidators dug deep and showed their trademark determination by scoring an amazing four goals in the final seven minutes of the game winning 5-2. The championship game held the same emotional highs and lows as the previous matches with the two finalists fighting for every play. With ten minutes remaining in the game the Intimidators scored the only goal of the match. The team’s defense and goalkeeper fought off relentless attacks up to the final seconds as they recorded their first tournament championship. Team members pictured first row, l-r: Max Boland, Emerson Cahall, Ethan Howell, Blake Hurt, Chase Easterling and Samuel Linkous. Pictured second row, l-r: Coach Dan Hurt, Zac Erhold, Randy Martin, William Watson, Austin Kirk, Noah Hiler and coach Greg Howell. Not pictured: Coach Kyle Fender.

MATTERS TOM CALLAHAN, RPH when it’s emptying out. The “top” number, or higher number, is called the systolic pressure. That is the pressure on your blood vessels when the heart is emptying, when it is squeezing more blood into the system. The lower number is called the diastolic pressure and it is the pressure that is filling the heart back up. Why is it bad if my blood pressure is high? Well, what happens when you blow up a balloon too much? It pops. Any time you put more pressure on a system than it was made to handle, it will fail. The other problem is that as we get older, the lining of our blood vessels lose some of their elasticity, like a garden hose that has sat out in the yard for a number of years. The most common type of failure is what is called an aneurism. Like blowing bike tire up too much and seeing a bubble start to form along the side. This happens in our bodies because one part of the blood vessel is weaker so it starts to give out. If that bubble bursts, the results can be catastrophic. Why is my blood pressure higher at the doctor’s office? Most of us are uncomfortable
to say the least in a doctor’s office. Because of this our fight or flight response starts to kick in. When you are nervous or scared your body starts to release more adrenaline. This increase in the amount of adrenaline is what causes your blood pressure to go up. This is a well known phenomenon called white coat syndrome and is fairly common. This is why your doctor will often want you to check your pressure a couple of times at home to see what your normal pressure is. If you have a question you’d like me to address, stop in and see me at Pamida pharmacy, call me at 378-6849, or send an email to PRXM093@Pamida.com.

So you just came from the doctor’s office and he told you that your blood pressure was a little high, and now you’re wondering what does that mean? In this column I’m going to try to break this subject down into simple terms. What is blood pressure? It’s the force of the blood pushing out on the veins and arteries. Remember when you were younger and put your finger over the end of a hose? You could get the water to spray out by pressing really hard, but you can’t press hard enough to stop the water from coming out. That same pressure is constantly pushing against the sides of the hose. The same thing happens in the body where the blood is pushing out against the blood vessels. You may be wondering why we even have blood pressure. The heart is actually a pump, and the way a pump works is by putting pressure on a fluid to get it to flow. The heart has to exert enough pressure to get the blood to flow up from the feet, back up to chest height. It does this by filling up with blood then squeezing it out. If you’re not sure how that works, think of a kid squeezing a juice box, and you’ll get the picture. But why do I have two numbers in my blood pressure reading? To keep things simple, let’s just consider two phases of the heart beat: when it’s filling up with blood and

McGinnis Whisner, Natasha Wright, Tony Goodman, Rebecca Black Townsend, Tim Yearout Happy anniversary to Frank and Melinda Greene and remembering that this November would have been the 40th anniversary of my marriage the first time and the 34th the second time around to the same man. A book could be written on that subject alone. Yet still had I known then, when young the things of the Lord that I know now, my marriage would have remained a marriage. Of course, I guess that could be the title of another book “Had I Known Then What I Know Now…..” Anyway, Tuesday I attended the Happy Community Stitcher’s crafters mission group. My job was quite interesting. I cut three inch strips off a plastic grocery sake, linked them together, rolled them into a ball and ship out to the other crafters to crochet into “mats” for the homeless. My imagination has not yet grasped this concept so I anxious to see the finished project and am excited to be learning something new! Also, this was a very great day because of what Berda and Phyllis did for me! They fixed my sewing machine. My son had bought this one for my Christmas many years ago, yet it would not sew right for me. They found that the problem was the nut behind the wheel. I am so very excited to have a working sewing machine again after all of these years! While is Russellville I visited my brother Don Salisbury, great nephews, and excited Kain Grace. She had had her pictures taken that day and was dressed in purple, and getting older fast. My, my. Then later in the day I visited with the crafters of the Nazarene Church. Well, time for a day home. This also was constructive as I learned to make customsized bags. I am so sick of continually looking for an item. With the custom-sized bags contents of four boxes ended up being in one drawer
RED OAK NEWS
MARY HOWLETTE and I can plainly see the product inside. All of this activity caused me to get behind on my mail. Sorting through it I found a nice letter from our friend Mildred Bruce. Years ago when I should have been listening I wasn’t or I would have learned that Mildred mailed my Dad, her brother, Alfred Paeltz, and another man each a box of goodies every week. Oh Many blessings to you Mildred for that act of kindness! Many of you that know Mildred know that three of sons have gone on home. If you are interested in becoming Mildred’s pen pal call me at 937-392-4261 or email marysalisburyhowelett@gma il.com for her address. God’s Closet and God’s Kitchen will be this Saturday at Russellville. The final Civil War commemoration was held at the historic Red Oak Presbyterian Church. It was very interesting. Also interesting was my seat right beside the door. Several good conversations came as a result of my high seat by the exit such as 1. Reverend Tweedle in his early days rode a motorized scooter from Georgetown to Red Oak Presbyterian Church. 2. The Centenary Methodist Church in Ripley will be remembering all departed loved ones November 6th, All Saints Day. If you have a loved one that has departed and would like to have their name included contact me at 937392-4261 and I will pass the information along. 3. I received yet another version of what a birthday means from one that definitely knows about this matter. This loved one’s version included letting the birthday person know that they are indeed special on this day and that this their special day how can they “treat” another person so that they also can share in that day with them, the birthday person. 4. I learned that though in the city Bond Hill’s church has a very small congregation yet there are six (6!) breast cancer survivors who attend there. 5. I learned that there is an avid picture taker, more avid than me, and he also wears his camera continually, but what is more-much to the embarrassment of his wife he takes pictures of his food-something that I had not yet done-yet. A very interesting conversation with a teacher by profession as he told of bringing his class up
on a day that happened to be the same day that The Happy Community Stitcher’s were meeting. They had come just thinking they would be visiting Aunt Jemima’s gravesite but ended up getting a tour of the Red Oak Presbyterian church and the Aunt Jemima museum. He still had excitement of the thrill of the day in his eyes and voice along with remembering taking pictures of the stitcher’s one of which was celebrating her 90th birthday that day, Mrs. Florence Scott! 6. I learned further that with grief and death there are no respecter of persons as a loved one told of two close family members killed on motorcycles within a very short time period, and with dependent loved ones waiting on them to arrive home. And from the speaker I learned that the emblems/markers on a grave site that says U.S.C.I. means United States Colored Infirmity. The RULH Schools are looking for volunteers for various projects relating to the students. A background check will be performed. Many thanks and blessings sent to all involved in the Byrd Township Halloween Festival and supper held in Decatur at the Charles Moore Community Building. Thankfully, it was nice night weather wise and the crowd was great. Many blessings to all who made it possible. Many blessings to George T. Vaughn and to all who made the Ripley historical sites day of Beebe Chapel a wonderful experience, and that is exactly what it was when the Music Workshop Choir gave a wonderful performance. It is wonderful to see so many spend a beautiful Saturday Praising the Lord especially eager young ones. What a blessing! Ps 103 Bless the Lord Oh my soul! Steve Free is planning to again be at the Union Township Library December 4th. Another event happening (sadly) in December at the Union Township Library is the retirement of Jerry Daniels. Oh no, how sorry I feel for Alison, because now she will have to do double duty keeping me on the straight. Anyway, Jerry has put up with a lot from me as I attempted to teach myself computer while also taking full-time college classes with a very reluctant computer. It is during those times the stress levels are a bit high but, we made it. Well, I just had a brainstorm and have not discussed it with Alison but how about let’s construct our stories of
Jerry so that he will not forget us! I, for one, hate changes! Yet, I wish you well Jerry in each and every one of your new adventures. The Happy Community Stitcher’s has moved to the Rambler Center. Turn onto the street beside the center and before the stop sign swing around the building eastward. Their sewing room sets toward State Route 125 with the door facing toward the north (the way you just drove in.) They are in the process of several projects for the homeless. This past week a stranger, a man, came into the restaurant and said that he was walking across the US as a Christian missionary. After listening to him my heart did not feel anything more than if he is walking then he must be hungry??? So I bought him food. Well, the next day my friend and I took him as far as Maysville. When we returned we went into the restaurant for our lunch. Well, the very first thing we were greeted with “Mary was just after his body!” I said “what?” She repeated it again upon which I replied, “HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ABOUT ME?” She said, “You ARE a single woman, aren’t you!” FIRE flew though me! Of all the asinine, malicious things I have heard for a while this one took the cake! Any for those who are unsure of the word asinine the dictionary says it means “failing to exercise intelligence or judgment, ridiculously below average rationality.” I say AMEN!!!! But the true Word says, “Judge not least ye be judged.” Sadly, in this dirtroad girl’s life-learning experiences it has been learned that one person’s judgments’ can fall back upon many people if they do not repent of their judgment. This includes children and grandchildren. If my friend Jean were alive today she possibly would be saying a big AMEN to that one. Judging can cause a multitude of problems and affect otherwise innocent people. Say that you yourself have a struggle with something/anything and regardless of desire to stop that particular activity you cannot. Then it might be a good idea to look to the possibility of a judgment that has been(toward another person) made by an/any ancestor or possibly yourself. What to do? Seek the Lord and his guidance, because at least three people were involved in this scene, repent of any transgressions/trespasses that possibly could have been committed and send the junk to the rock/ROCK. Also learning the techniques for
freeing up your thinking as outlined in Dr. David Burn’s book “Feeling Good” could be of a great asset but first outlined in Psalms. For more info about this call 937-3924261 or email marysalisburyhowelett@gmail.com. Life is very short-eternity is not. Watch you words that spew from your mouth. I am not always right, BUT what if I am right about this? Be free to be the person you were created to be!!! And about my attitude toward this man who said he was walking across America as a Christian missionary. I could be wrong about him, and I am sorry. The scriptures say, “You will know them by their fruits!” May the blessings of the Lord be upon him and all his co-travelers, and maybe I need to watch who I eat/fellowship with. No, their opinions are theirs and also reveals who they are. I know whose I am and I pray my accusers find Him Too. Years ago I was in a terrible state of mind, always searching but no relief. One particular day I was led to stop in the Native American shop in Seaman, Ohio. At first it made no sense why I was even in that place, but .... As the owner and i talked he told me that his grandfather was the spiritual leader of many tribes and that his main message was "Do Not Carry Any Garbage Into Your House-Make An Altar Outside the Door and Leave It There-On the Altar." Well, what strong words they were to me at that time. I could not get them out of my mind. I kept hearing them over and over. But not wanting to make the Lord mad at me I was in a quandary pondering this mans words about making an altar. Finally, I remembered that different Biblical characters made altars leaving their belongs upon them. So, how do I make this altar? Then I saw it, my altar. Years ago the Collett boys, one of which had given me the name of my ministry, Wounded Loved Ones, had brought me a very large brown rock. It was right within sight of entering the house! Well, part of my problem of an unsettled mind was reliving over and over of the past. Oh Yes, I had heard the sermons of leave it at foot of Jesus on the cross. Somehow, that never would take hold in my spirit. BUT when the ROCK became the altar all of that changed. Every single time that the enemy brought up my junk I started saying, "Lord God, I am sorry of my trespasses in this situation, there is nothing else that I can
do so I send all of the rest to the ROCK." Wow! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!!! The ROCK took my junk and set me free! Praise the Lord! So, I invite you and your loved ones to send your junk to the large brown rock that did that for me and for many others that I have invited to the participate in the ROCK. Jesus is the ROCK. and as I looked for that scripture my eyes fell on one just as important . "Some trust in Chariots and some in horses BUT we will remember the name of the Lord our God." another scripture that carried me through my time of being downsized after a life time of full-time work. I did not mean to make this so long but... Several years ago a man knocked me down. I landed on two large metal dog feeding pans on a concrete porch. I knew my shoulder, elbow, and wrist were broken. However, I knew that if I SAID that I was hurt that I would be hurt the rest of my life. Of course children were involved, out of five of them only one strong enough to help me up, but I could not get up because I was hurting so very bad. They could not understand my continual words of saying, "I am fine." yet continue laying there in that heap. it took a very long time before I was able to move and I finally allowed them to get a large sheet to use in pulley like fashion to help get me to me feet. I was hurt bad as I made it to the couch and sat there for another long length of time-continually refusing to say I was hurt. Even after my nephew was finally able to bring me home i was hurting but then as the night progressed the pain began to ease and by morning i was healed. Praise the Lord!!!! So, I would say to you and to all my loved ones be careful the words that come from your mouth. No matter the pain, the pain of your heart or physical pain, watch your words!!!! By His stripes we are healed! Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord!!!! in the meanwhile I am looking for that city and if I should die before next time do not think a thing of-after all we have been told that we will die and if the Word is true where will we be-not just singing about being in The Garden? You are a very valuable asset to the Lords work heredo not allow the enemy to steal your testimony!

Drivers can’t “mask” being drunk on Halloween, so be careful on road BOO!!! It’s that time of year again when witches, ghosts, goblins, and other scary costumed “creatures” will celebrate Halloween. No doubt about it, this weekend there will be plenty of parties going on, and no doubt several of those parties will include alcoholic beverages. So the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition reminds everyone to keep the party off the road! Much more creepy and frightening than the guy wearing the “Jason” hockey mask is the prospect of getting arrested for drunk driving. Whether you’ve had one too many or way too many, it is just not worth the risk. Law enforcement will be out in full force during the Halloween weekend and holiday, so remember--Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over! Nighttime is an especially dangerous time to be on the road, but Halloween night is often one of the deadliest nights of the year for impaired drivers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 48 percent of all highway fatalities across the nation on Halloween night (6 p.m. Oct. 31 to 5:59 a.m. Nov. 1) in 2009 involved a driver or a
motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 grams per deciliter or higher, which is illegal in every state. I know I sometimes sound like a broken record when it comes to the issue of drunk driving. But it’s simply a fact that the safety of each and every one of us is threatened when party goers don’t plan ahead and end up driving drunk. The Brown County Safe Communities Coalition recommends these simple tips for a safe Halloween: Plan a safe way home before the party begins. Before drinking, appoint a sober driver. And please remember that Buzzed Driving IS Drunk Driving. If you’re impaired, use a taxi or call a sober friend or family member. If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact your local police department or the Ohio State Highway Patrol. And please don’t forget-Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take away his or her keys and help that person to make other arrangements to safely get to where he or she is going. As of October 17, 2011,
preliminary data from the Traffic Statistics section of the Ohio Department of Public Safety shows 783 deaths on Ohio roads in 2011 as compared to 871 for the same period in 2010--a decrease of 88 from this time last year. The data also show 151 Ohio motorcycle deaths in 2011 as compared to 160 for the same period in 2010. Let’s all work hard and do our best to prevent even more traffic deaths on Ohio roads during the upcoming Halloween weekend and holiday! For more information on impaired driving, please visit the website www.trafficsafetymarketing.gov/Halloween20 11 . The Brown County Safe Communities Program is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Office of Criminal Justice ServicesTraffic Safety Section, and is locally coordinated by the HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program. HEALTHUC’s office is located at 114 East State Street in Georgetown, Ohio.

It will be open on Tuesdays through Saturday from 10 am until 5pm and on Sundays from 1pm till 5pm.- through December 18th. A visit to “The Cabin” is more of a delightful event than just a day of shopping. Indeed , even the men in the family enjoy the experience! They can be seen examining the structure from the unusual staircase through the highbeamed ceilings, and soon inevitably ask, “Tell me about this cabin.” Janny Brizius, the owner, never tires of telling
the many stories about the cabin’s origin and history, and folks returning to the cabin with new friends immediately ask her,”Tell my friend the cabin story. You really need to write a book about it.” (May be one day she’ll get that done.) In the mean time, she’s happy letting the cabin serve as a great outlet for local folks to show off and sell their handicrafts. From jewelry to clothing, housewares, dolls and toys, oils and watercolors-- they are all there, and all for sale at reasonable e prices.( Janny will not accept an artisan who has her items priced too high.) That is not ot say that there are not some pricey items-- but if so, they are worth it. However,the cabin is noted for its bargains.That’s another reason folks keep coming back year after year-- indeed-this being the 31st annual Christmas at the Cabin! Call (937) 365-1388 for directions from your neck of the woods.

From candy to costumes, Halloween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike. However, it is also a holiday that can pose dangers to youngsters. When purchasing a costume, look for the label flame-resistant (material will resist burning) or flame-retardant (material will not burn). Choose a light-colored costume and add glow-in-the-dark tape to the front and back so your child can be easily seen. Avoid costumes with masks, wigs, floppy hats or eye patches because they can restrict breathing and obscure vision. If a mask is used, make sure it fits securely and has eyeholes large
enough to allow full vision. Ensure that costumes fit properly as loose-fitting material may cause your child to trip or fall. Make sure that any props, such as wands or swords, are soft and made from flexible materials. “Caution should be used when dressing children in costumes with strings that could wrap around their necks (cowboy hats with strings, beads, neckties, etc.),” said John Vaughn, M.D., a family physician in Columbus, Ohio. Accompany children under age 10 on their rounds; approve the route of older children and set a time for them to arrive back home. Have your child
carry a flashlight with new batteries and limit trick-or-treating to your neighborhood and the homes of people you and your children know. Only visit homes with porch lights on and stay on sidewalks with lit streets. Before going trick-or-treating, make sure your child has a good meal so they will not snack on the candy they are collecting. When your child gets home, inspect all treats to make sure they are safely sealed and there are no signs of tampering such as small pinholes, loose or torn packages, and packages that appear to have been taped or glued back together. Throw out
loose candy, spoiled items and any homemade treats. "Halloween is a good time to discuss healthy eating habits with your children. Remind them that Halloween candy is a special treat. Limit their candy to a few pieces after healthy meals. Do not allow them to keep the bag in their room,” added Vaughn. The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians is a statewide professional association with more than 4,100 members, including practicing physicians, family medicine residents and medical students. The scope of family medicine encompasses all ages, both sexes and every disease entity.
Family physicians provide comprehensive, continuing care to all members of the family. FACT SHEET Costume Tips: · Choose costumes with a flame-resistant or flame-retardant label. · Choose a light-colored costume and add glow-in-the-dark tape so children can be easily seen. · Avoid masks, wigs, floppy hats or eye patches. · Props, such as wands or swords, should be soft and made from flexible materials. · Make sure costumes fit securely. · Use caution with costume accessories that have strings such as cowboy hats with
strings, beads and neckties. Trouble-free Trick-or-Treating: · Have children carry a flashlight with new batteries. · Limit activities to your neighborhood and the homes of people you and your children know. · Go to homes with porch lights on. · Walk on sidewalks with lit streets. · Inspect all treats for signs of tampering such as small pinholes, loose or torn packages, and packages that appear to have been taped or glued back together. · Throw out loose candy, spoiled items and any homemade treats.

Halloween Safety Tips
E V E N
Follow these suggestions for a safe and spooky holiday! www.halloween-safety.com
TIPS FOR CHILDREN • Help your child pick out or make a costume that will be safe. Make it fire proof, the eye holes should be large enough for good peripheral vision. • If you set jack-o-lanterns on your porch with candles in them, make sure that they are far enough out of the way so that kids costumes won't accidentally be set on fire. • Make sure that if your child is carrying a prop, such as a scythe, butcher knife or a pitchfork, that the tips are smooth and flexible enough to not cause injury if fallen on. • Check all of the candy your children bring home with them.
• Explain to children the difference between tricks and vandalism. Throwing eggs at a house may seem like fun but they need to know the other side of the coin as well, clean up and damages can ruin Halloween. If they are caught vandalizing,make them clean up the mess they've made. • Explain to your kids that animal cruelty is not acceptable. Kids may know this on their own but peer pressure can be a bad thing. Make sure that they know that harming animals is not only morally wrong but punishable by law and will not be tolerated.
• Kids always want to help with the pumpkin carving. Small children shouldn't be allowed to use a sharp knife to cut the top or the face. There are many kits available that come with tiny saws that work better then knives and are safer. It's best to let the kids clean out the pumpkin and draw a face on it, which you can carve for them. • Teaching your kids basic everyday safety such as not getting into cars or talking to strangers, watching both ways before crossing streets and crossing when the lights tell you to, will help make them safer when they are out Trick or Treating.
TIPS FOR ADULTS • Know the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them. • The best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you can't take them, see if another parent or a teen aged sibling can go along.
