Brown County Hospital sold to Southwest

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press An agreement to sell the Brown County Hospital

has been signed.

The deal was done at a hospital board meeting on May 11.

It was attended by representatives of Southwest Healthcare,

including owner Paul Tuft and the Brown County Commissioners.

Following the signing, Brown County Hospital Board

Southwest Healthcare President Paul Tuft signs the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Chairman Eric Sontag announced “Ladies and Gentlemen, we just sold this hospital!” to a round of applause.

The agreement comes after years of uncertainty and two other failed attempts to sell the hospital to other buyers.

“The best thing about this deal is that it brings security and certainty to the county and the hospital employees”, said board member Ben Houser.

According to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the base price for the hospital is four million dollars. It reads “The Base Price shall be paid by the application of the Deposit and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. If the Assumed Liabilities are greater than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) as of the Closing, Buyer shall not be required to make any cash payment to Seller at Closing.”

This means that Southwest Healthcare is assuming the hosThe deposit pital’s debt. referred to in the document was $150,000 dollars paid at the time exclusive negotiations began between the hospital board, the county and Southwest Healthcare.

The exact amount of the debt

involved will not be known until the closing date.

Hospital Board Chairman Eric Sontag said the goal was to have the closing complete before the end of May. “I think this is the thing that needed to get done to continue the operation of the hospital, protect the employees and protect the county’s general fund”, Sontag said.

“We’re going to continue to have quality healthcare available to them close to home”.

Southwest Healthcare owner Paul Tuft echoed those sentiments.

“We have high hopes and big dreams of restoring Brown County General Hospital to the kind of hospital the county envisioned when it started the hospital many years ago. We want everyone in the county to feel that it is their hospital and the place where they want to go for their health care needs”, Tuft said.

He added that he hoped to share the anticipated success of the venture with the employees of the hospital.

“We look forward to working with them and to restoring the hospital to a position of profitability so the employees

will be able to enjoy better compensation than they have right now.”

Following the signatures, Tuft addressed the group and said ““I can’t tell everyone how excited we are at Southwest about this day. At times it looked like it would never get here, but we’re thrilled that it’s here. We’re looking forward to making everyone in Brown County proud that Brown County General Hospital is here. We want everybody to feel that it’s their hospital and that they are excited about coming here and using it and we want all the employees to be proud that they work here.”

Applause followed his remarks.

County Commission President Ralph Jennings was also optimistic.

“It’s all uphill from here.

I’m very comfortable with the way things stand now. It’s time to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and make this thing work”, Jennings said.

One issue that still remains is the state law requirement that public employees be paid any accrued vacation time at the time of their separation.

Macon residents could be forced to hook on to R’ville sewer system

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press At least 26 residents living in the Macon area may be facing mandatory hook-up to the Russellville sewage system in the future.

Whittington said he would like to invite everyone to bring one canned good or other non-perishable item to the show which will be donated to the Bread of Life Food Pantry in Mt. Orab.

“I think we could do a lot of good by helping fill the

shelves at the food pantry,” Whittington said. “The shows are free, of course, the canned good is for others in need.”

He continued, “We are also planning on having a charity/split-the-pot event and proceeds from it will also go to a needy family in the com-

munity. So please come out with your lawn chair, a canned good and relax and enjoy the show.”

The next scheduled show is set for June 18 and will feature the group ‘Off-RRockers.’

Rain, mud and clouds keeping farmers from planting

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) has forecast that this year’s corn and soybean yield could be well below normal because of the record rainfall and flooded fields.

According to the USDA last year, by May 8, 2010, Ohio farmers had 74 percent of its corn seed in the ground. This year that same date, the number is only three percent. Last years soybeans planted by May 8 was about 33 percent, this year’s number is zero (0).

“It’s certainly not ‘too late’ yet for Brown County farmers to get their fields planted,” said David Dugan, Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator with the Brown County Extension Office, “but it’s certainly later than usual.”

“We’ve been fortunate the last couple of years,” Dugan

explained, “we got our crops out early, so this years actually seems later than it is.”

“This years crop of corn and soybeans should already be up out of the ground, but farmers can’t get into their fields because of all the rain still laying on top the ground”, Dugan said.

He added that the rain has had a negative effect on many other areas of agriculture besides just getting fields planted.

“Another concern for the farmers are their hay fields,” Dugan said. “Hay requires sunlight to thrive, as well as the heat produced by sunlight.

Right now we haven’t had enough sunny days to do any good. The soil temperature is still below what it needs to be.

Plus the weeds are getting a huge head start on the future crops. The farmers can’t get into the fields to spray herbicides so tall weeds are also an issue for local farmers.”

He continued “Even the cat-

tle standing in the mud can get very stressed. I’ve already had to help deliver calves in pure mud and believe me, the cows were extremely stressed. Plus it’s tough seeing young calves standing in water.”

Dugan said that with the fields so wet and muddy, a large heard of cattle can also do a lot of damage by tramping the soil down again and again into the mud, and it could take a while to come back.

“In regards to planting the

fields, there are still some good hybrids available for late planting, if it stops raining long enough. But I was talking to someone from the National Weather Service and he said there’s still a lot of rain in the forecast.”

Dugan said that farmers are facing several other problems besides the wet fields.

“Diseases in the fields caused by the temperatures and the rain are also a big concern of our farmers,” he added.

“They can’t get their tractors and other equipment out into the fields to spread fungicides and fertilizers, so they’ve been forced to hire small planes to fly over and spread it. And that’s just one more added expense for them.”

Dugan added that there is no silver bullet going to help the local farmers, they just have to wait out the rain and hope for a successful and high yield.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, May 15, 2011 - Page 3

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press After more than a week of investigation and preparation

by Sardinia Chief of Police Jim Lewis and several auxiliary officers, three people were arrested May 10 for having in their possession items for the making of methamphetamine.

Arrested was Cheryl Scaggs, 49, New Richmond, Malinda Taylor, 32, Sardinia and Brian Gillman, 34, Sardinia.

“Two of my auxiliary officers, Jim Clements and Mike Dearing have worked more than 90 hours on this case,” said Chief Lewis. “I attribute these arrests to their efforts.”

Lewis said he contacted the prosecutor and had enough proof to obtain a search warrant from Judge Joseph Worley, for a home located at 146 Sardinia-Mowrystown Road, in Sardinia.

After coordinating with members of the Drug Enforcement Association (DEA) and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, a special entry team was organized, which also included members of the village life squad and the Mt. Orab Fire Department.

The team entered the home expecting to find the suspects but only one person, an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair was found in the home.

The man was removed from the home which was then searched by the DEA. A five-gallon bucket was found which had been used to cook meth.

“It seemed like it was all over and we would have to search for our suspects,” added Chief Lewis.

“The fire department was about ready to leave when a couple of my officers, who were paying close attention saw the 4-door red Cavalier owned by the resident of the home coming towards a road block. It didn’t take them long to turn into the cemetery. But my two guys took off, on foot after the suspects. I called the trooper who was blocking the street and he went in with his cruiser right after them.

“When the car stopped, one of the women, Scaggs, took off running towards the Nazarene Church, but Officer Dearing was able to apprehend her. The other two were taken out of the car by other officers.”

Lewis said drain cleaner was found in the car which is often used to cut with the

The Village of Sardinia has received a $120,000 replacement grant through the Ohio Public Works Commission.

The grant funds will be used for the water lines for the Pleasant Street, Thompson, Clark and Kelly Street project.

Work on the project could begin as early as August. The new pipes used in the project will go from 2 inches to 6 inches.

In other business at the May 9 Sardinia Village Council meeting, relations between law enforcement and the residents of the Village of Sardinia are improving according to Police Chief Jim Lewis.

“My officers have been doing a good job of getting out there and actually walking the streets,” Chief Lewis told council. “It is important to us to get to know as many residents as we can, and we want them to feel safe living in this village.”

Lewis went on to tell council that his department was involved in several ongoing investigations and expected to make arrests soon. He also reported that six reports were taken, one for domestic violence and one traffic accident from March 31 to April 28.

In other business at the meeting, in the absence of village administrator Tim Mock, Mayor Bumbalough read a prepared report submitted by Mock.

“An old sewer pump finally had to be replaced after at least of year of having problems with it,” Bumbalough began,

The Southern State Community College Board of Trustees will meet 6 p.m., Wednesday, May 25, 2011, in Room 149 on the college’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. The meeting, which had originally been scheduled for May 11, is open to the public.

“We’ve already ordered the new one at a cost of $4,958.

John Van Harlingen has been working with the EPA on the receiving station issues and we expect all the repairs and changes will be complete by next month.”

The mayor went on to discuss hiring a new contractor to fix the aging hydrants in the village and that city workers would begin tearing metal out of the old water plant building to prevent it from being stolen.

It was suggested by councilman Art Hoovler that the old brick could also be sold.

The mayor said the problems with soil washing away at the village cemetery have been improving with the addition of adding soil and planting seedlings when the rains end.

He also reported at six tons of black top and gravel had been applied to the streets in Sardinia and the village was still waiting on a municipal finance package for the new dump truck which had not yet been received.

Fiscal Officer Karen Miller reported that she was looking forward to moving her office to the front of the building which would giver her better access to customers.

Mayor Bumbalough told council that the continued village issues with Frontier internet service was being addressed.

“We’ve talked to a representative from the State Commerce Department about the 33-day credit that Crystal Broadband promised customers in the village,” Bumbalough said, “They told us that that customers should be receiving their credits right away. At least 16 customers should receive the credit.”

Township clean up days will be held on Friday, May 20 and Saturday, May 21. Letters will be sent out on June 1, to all residents that have noxious weeds, junk cars, and other offensive items cluttering their property. Residents will have 14 days to clean up their property or they will be cited.

Dealing with the ‘terrible tens’

E v E n

Let’s harness American energy to lower gas prices, create jobs Like many Ohioans, I experienced sticker shock today when I filled up at our neighborhood gas station outside Cincinnati. Regular unleaded was $3.79 a gallon.

Some Ohioans are already seeing gas prices over four dollars per gallon, and higher prices may be on the horizon.

This makes it more expensive to commute, drive to the store or take a vacation.

Because oil fuels every major sector of our economy, rising gas prices have a less visible, but no less costly, impact on all of us.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, 94 percent of all consumer goods and 68 percent of all farm goods are transported over America’s roads. As the cost of shipping and producing goods increases, we will find ourselves paying more for everything from groceries to electronics.

Oil prices are on the rise for a host of reasons. As the global economy slowly recovers, demand for oil is rising to meet new manufacturing and other needs. The laws of supply and demand kick in.

Unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, including oilrich Libya, has also injected uncertainty into the energy markets, which results in price hikes. Some experts also suggest that the oil market is factoring in expected inflation due to global deficit spending, especially the record federal government debt in the United States.

Still others point to the actions of speculators and their illegal actions driving up

Rob PoRtman the cost of oil. The Obama Administration recently announced the formation of a new task force to look at fraud and manipulation within oil and energy markets.

Any price fixing or other illegal activity should be prosecuted.

But I don't think we need a task force to tell us what we need to do as a country to respond to yet another spike in oil prices: we need to move aggressively to get away from our dependence on foreign oil and this must include using more of our own resources.

For decades, Washington, D.C. has been unwilling to tap the energy resources in our own backyard. This policy simply makes no sense in the world’s largest oil-consuming nation. The United States today consumes about 22 percent of the world’s oil supply — much of it from countries hostile to American interests and ideals. Last year alone, we spent $337 billion on oil imports, more than half of what we spent on our nation’s defense, and we have not been self-sufficient in energy production since 1970.

There is a better way to power America’s economic future. What we need are common-sense solutions to strengthen U.S. energy production. That begins with harnessing the potential of our

own natural resources in an environmentally responsible way. As an immediate bridge, we should increase access for oil exploration and production in energy-rich areas of the country like the Outer Continental Shelf, and in parts of Alaska. This will create jobs, drive investment, and immediately reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil.

We must also look to alternatives to oil, recognizing that true innovation will come from private-sector entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists — not from the Washington bureaucracy.

That’s why it is critical to eliminate unnecessary rules and regulations that slow the development of cleaner, more affordable energy. Less red tape will free businesses to grow, innovate, and create new jobs.

The good news is that Ohio is poised help lead America’s energy future.

Ohio has a long history of producing its own energy sources, with an oil, gas, and coal business that pre-dates the Civil War. Today, Ohio is preparing for a natural gas “shale revolution” – a new means of tapping energy-rich underground rock formations.

Considering the potential of the Marcellus and Utica Shale Formations, we have the possibility of creating good Ohio jobs while providing Ohioans with access to large quantities of cleaner-burning natural gas that can be used today for buses, taxis and other fleets and could be used for cars in the future. Where natural gas

is used for transportation fuel today, the average cost per gallon is less than $2.00.

These new breakthroughs in Ohio energy production can build on the longstanding strength of our Ohio coal industry. Coal is a proven source of relatively inexpensive energy that supports thousands of jobs across Ohio. Clean coal technology continues to develop, and, with the help of research being done at Ohio's WrightPatterson Air Force Base, coal-to-liquid could become another affordable domestic alternative to oil.

Ohio also continues to be a leading producer of bio-fuels.

We currently have five operating plants, producing 424 million gallons of ethanol annually and contributing hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars of economic activity to Ohio’s rural economy.

Research and new cellulosic ethanol technologies are making home-grown Ohio biofuels more cost-effective and should be encouraged through further research and investments. Ohio is also a leader on fuel cell research and other clean technologies to power the cars of the future.

As these examples show, America has the know-how and the natural abundance to move toward a future of energy independence. But we must make the right choices today. It is time to unleash the ingenuity of our workforce and the potential of our energy resources to power the American economy and create new jobs — with Ohio leading the way.

It’s time to consider a balanced budget amendment We have dug ourselves into quite a deep hole by spending money we don’t have and borrowing it from people who don’t have our best interests in mind.

Standard & Poor’s said the outlook was based on its lack of confidence that the White House and Congress would be able to deal with its deficit problem in the next three years and that there was a one-in-three chance that the U.S. triple-A credit rating could decline in the next couple of years.

It is shameful that we got here on good intentions, poor performance, and promises that nobody could keep.

Maybe it’s time to try something different. A constitutional amendment requiring that the federal government adopt balanced budgets has been talked about for decades, but has never gained enough support in Congress to be sent to the states for ratification.

He thinks it’s funny to see how far he can go. I let him go for a minute. I understand the need to look cool to your friends.

His response: “You’re right, and I better do what you say.” Exactly.

Granted, I have a very, very good child. The best really, and this behavior is only occasional. Usually when he’s in a bad mood about something, but when it happens, it’s not fun. I mean, he will still tell me he loves me in front of his friends. I savor that one.

For the record, I am letting everyone know about the “terrible tens”. Be ready when it happens. My best advice, take a deep breath, and remember, it’s only for a year. Just like you survived those “terrible twos”, you’ll survive this too. Then you have the teen years to look forward to.

trillions of dollars, the sentiment in Congress may be changing. All 47 of the Senate’s Republican senators have signed on as co-sponsors of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. A majority of the House has expressed support as well.

Although impressive, the support in both houses of Congress is short of the twothirds majority needed to send the proposed amendment to the state legislatures for ratification. So we still have to come up with the 71 votes in the House and 20 senators needed to clear the first hurdle for the amendment to become part of the Constitution.

Amending the Constitution is not a move to be taken lightly.

But, given Washington’s failure to act until now, it may be our only option.

Everyone knows about the “terrible twos”, there are books written all about this stage of a child’s life, but no one ever told me about the “terrible tens”.

Sure, I’ve heard horror stories about the teenage years, but never ones from the delicate age of ten. My oldest son turned ten in December, and I feel like since that lovely celebration, he has changed a lot.

He is a “tween”, aka a child between the ages of 9 and 12, caught between a child and a teenager. Apparently, this new age brings the following things: * Everything is stupid. At least the things he doesn’t like or doesn’t want to do are. I advised him to find a new adjective. * His little brother is now a baby. And Annoying. And of course stupid. Unless, he wants him to play or borrow money from him. * The demands of technology. I think when I was ten, I was still playing with dolls. At least Barbie dolls.

It’s a different era now though. He has some of the things he wants (cell phone and ipod), but not nearly everything he wants (ipad). * Backtalk and the mumbling under the breath. I love it. Really, I do, because you can not out sass the original sasser. So he always gets caught and he knows his limits. If I give him the look, he will stop mid-sentence. * New friends. I don’t know why suddenly, he know longer wants to hang out with the friends he’s had for years, but we have

for cancer research. It’s going to be great fun for everyone and we’d like to invite everyone in the community to the

event, even if they don’t want to take part in the relay, they can still enjoy all the activities.

Next weekend hundreds of cancer survivors and friends and family of cancer survivors will participate in the 2011 Relay for Life in Brown County.

The Relay for Life is a community event where everyone can participate in the fight

against cancer. Corporate employees, friends, church groups, and neighbors join together in teams and take turns walking or running on a track throughout the overnight event.

The event is not a race, so participants may casually walk or run at whatever pace they are comfortable. Each team will have a representative on

Byrd Township to place 3.5 mil levy on November ballot, prepares for Memorial Day Byrd Township Trustees passed a resolution to put a 3.5 mil replacement fire department levy on the November ballot at the May 10 board of trustees meeting held in Decatur.

According to Connie Scott, fiscal officer for Byrd Township, the 3.5 mil levy will place a 4.0 mil levy which was passed in 1993.

“Even though this is a smaller levy,” Scott explained, “because properties now have higher values, 18 years later, the replacement levy means approximately $50 more a year on every $100,000 of valua-

tion.”

Scott said the township has approximately 540 voters, but according to the Brown County Board of Elections, only 293 voted in the November 2010 election.

“We’re really hoping residents of Byrd Township will get out and vote for this levy,” Scott said. “It’s important for our fire department.”

Scott also said the trustees would like to thank all the members of Bethlehem Church of Christ for holding a ‘community service day and cleaned up Decatur Park.

“They really did a wonderful job,” she said. “members of the church were out there mulching

and planting and picking up trash all day.”

Scott said the township is also getting ready for Memorial Day festivities Monday, May 3 at Decatur Park located on SR 125.

The event, which is being hosted by the Byrd Township School Preservation Committee will include an old fashioned ice cream supper beginning at 5 p.m. as well as a variety of sandwiches, cakes, peanut bars and refreshments.

All proceeds from the event will go to support and maintain the Decatur Community Center.

In case of rain the event will be held at the Decatur Community Center.

Changes to Ohio Concealed Carry law pass the house, bill moves to Senate State Representative Danny Bubp has released the following information regarding a potential change to Ohio’s concealed weapon carrying law.

“The Ohio House of Representatives has passed legislation to amend Ohio’s concealed carry laws to make them simpler and consistent with other states.

Specifically, House Bill 45— which was jointly sponsored by State Representatives Danny Bubp (R-West Union) and Terry Johnson (RMcDermott)—will simplify the provisions related to the carrying of firearms in vehicles by eliminating the “micromanaging” provisions that dictate where a gun must be stored in a vehicle, which allows law-abiding citizens to avoid accidental violations. It retains the current

procedures that are followed when a licensee is pulled over and approached by a law enforcement official.

The legislation would also permit license holders to carry in establishments that serve alcohol provided that the individual is not consuming alcohol. It does not change the current law prohibiting an individual from possessing a firearm while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Establishments would still have the authority to prohibit concealed carry.

“House Bill 45 is a responsible way to allow Ohioans to keep themselves and their families safe, while also ensuring that our laws respect our Constitutional rights,” Johnson said.

In addition to simplifying existing concealed carry laws, House Bill 45 will bring Ohio’s carry regulations in line with most other states’ regulations.

According to the Buckeye Firearms Association, of the 48 states that issue concealed carry licenses, 42 allow licensees to carry in restaurants as long as they are not drinking.

“Ohio’s responsible, lawabiding gun owners should not be penalized with stricter regulations than gun owners of any other state,” said Bubp. “I am pleased that this legislation has passed the House and is one step closer toward protecting our Second Amendment rights.”

This legislation was originally introduced during the previous General Assembly as Senate Bill 239, which received the support of the National Rifle Association, the Buckeye Firearms Association and Ohioans for Concealed Carry.

House Bill 45 will now move to the Ohio Senate, where it will undergo further consideration.”

May is a pretty special time of the year at our Agency – it’s Older Americans Month! It’s a time to celebrate the wonderful contributions given by so many older Ohioans in our communities and express our gratitude for their years of positive influence and dedication to their families, friends and neighbors.

This year’s theme for the month, which is observed all across our nation and state, is Older Americans: Connecting the Communities. During this month, we join with our providers, local senior centers and other important partners in the aging network, in paying homage to the many ways in which older adults bring inspiration and continuity to the fabric of our communities. This year’s theme also highlights the many ways technology is helping older Americans live longer, healthier and more engaged lives.

Looking at the artwork that has been submitted for our Annual Art Show is a perfect testimony to this theme and there is one definite observation

The cribs are not just given to young mothers. They must earn them by attending eight weeks of parenting classes.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Brown County residents to help their own neighbors,” added Galley. “Sweet Dreams is good project and anyone can help by donating as much money as they are comfortable with donating.”

According to Tamma Plymesser, executive director of the Pregnancy Resource Center in Georgetown, there are many babies in Brown County who are sleeping in laundry baskets, on air mattresses, in drawers, play pens, water beds and even on the floor.

“We have started a special program called “Sweet Dreams Project” to raise enough money in Brown County to purchase cribs with a mattress for babies in our communities,” Plymesser said.

Plymesser said the center gave out 15 cribs last year to new mothers and is currently in need of many more.

Jason Galley, Community Life Minister with the Georgetown Church of Christ, plans on contacting every church in the county for help with the project. He also plans to approach businesses, organizations and individuals.

“This is a very worth-while project,” Galley said. “It only takes $200 to purchase each crib with a mattress, and I believe our precious children deserve to be raised in a safe environment, and that is God’s plan. And we can all

The services and programs we can provide give us the opportunity to promote happy and productive lives for seniors and those with disabilities. It’s hard to believe, but next year will mark 40 years of service for our Agency! It is very humbling for our staff to know that for 40 years, we have had the opportunity to provide seniors and those with disabilities with the services that allow them the option to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Over that time, we have also taken seriously our role as an advocacy voice for seniors and continue to support initiatives and programs that promote their wellbeing and safety.

So, a happy Older Americans Month to all!

Please take the time this month to recognize seniors throughout our ten counties and be sure to thank them for their role in connecting our communities.

I CHANGE NOT! I want to go to Romans today partly because of all that has been going on in the world. But before we got there, turn with me for a moment to Luke 21. Here in Luke Jesus talks about some signs of the times. I believe that we are seeing some definite signs. Look with me in verse 24: “...and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Ladies and gentlemen, we are getting close to fulfilling of that time. Verse 25: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring.” Jesus said that there shall be earthquakes in divers places. In verse 11 He said great earthquakes. This earthquake that hit Japan was classified as a great earthquake. When the waves resulting from that earthquake reach across the largest ocean in the world and do damage on the coast of California, I think that qualifies as waves roaring! It is no doubt sad when these things happen. However, I want you to see what God feels like about the things going on in our world today. Look with me in Romans 1:18-20: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” God tells us that there is no excuse for the wicked actions of any person on this earth because the glories of God are seen. Psalm 19:1 states: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” The work of God’s hands is all over this world.

People want to say that God did not cause these earthquakes; it was mother nature. I don’t want to bust your bubble but there is no mother nature! God is in charge of everything. He made this world and everything that is in it, including people, and they have of no excuse: “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of un-corruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.” Verse 18 says: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven...” Have you ever looked up the meaning of the word wrath? It is a very, very, strong cruel anger. His anger destroyed the world in the days of Noah; it destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Abraham. Hebrews 10:31 tells us: “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” I am telling you God is angry! America is full of Pantheism which is the belief that God is everything and everything is God. An animal, a tree, an image, is not God! He created the animals and trees but they are not God! But America, along with the world, has changed it’s god to 24-27: Verses Pantheism!

“Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” The world has changed the truth of God into a lie and worships and serves creatures more than they do God. “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” Leviticus 18:22. “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.” Do you think God has changed His opinions?

As some of you know the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are part of the Junior Fair Activities each year. We are proud of over 1000 Junior Fair people showing at the Brown Co. Fair. While waiting for my Granddaughter to get out of school, I witnessed two Boy Scouts showing a lot of respect. They were taking down the American Flag at Sardinia Elementary. Many times I’ve watched soldiers take down the Flag and fold it properly. These boys were just as honorable now as if they were grown men with their showing of respect for our flag. Every morning they say the Pledge of Allegiance just like we did at their age.

Did you know that only 19% of our population live in rural communities, but 48% of the people in the armed forces come from there. Does this make you proud of being a country bumpkin?

Most of us are familiar with the story of Sir Alexander Fleming and the accidental finding of antibiotics. We learned in school how Fleming was growing cultures of staphylococcus: however, when he left the petri dishes by an open window, they were contaminated by spores of the mold penicillium. Fleming then noticed that the staphylococcus didn’t grow near the mold and supposed that the mold was creating a substance that killed the staph. He named it penicillin.

Although Fleming’s discovery by itself was not enough to change medicine, this serendipitous discovery lead to one of the milestones of modern medicine.

It took years of research to learn how to generate and purify penicillin. In the early days, it took about 25 gallons of a broth of penicillium mold and nutrients to get enough medicine to treat one patient for one day.

So what you might ask, is so hard about finding an antibiotic?

There is an inherent problem with finding a substance that can act as an antibiotic. If you think about it, when you take an antibiotic, you’re taking a substance that was designed to kill living cells. How does the antibiotic know which living cells belong to the bacteria and which are human? Different antibiotics handle this tricky problem in different ways, but they all depend on inherent differences between bacteria and human cells.

In the case of penicillin, it attacks a cell structure that bacteria have and humans don’t.

Humans have a thin cell membrane. However, since bacteria exist as single celled organisms, they come equipped with a strong outer coating called a cell wall. The cell wall helps protect the bacteria from a hostile envi-

The Mt Orab United Methodist Church will be hosting our first Motorcycle Blessing Service, called Breakfast, Blue Jeans, Jesus, and Bikes on Sunday, May 15, during our 9 a.m. service.

Breakfast will be served, casual dress will be expected, and at the end of the service there will be a Bike Blessing. Each motorcycle that is present will be entered into a drawing for Fuel Cards.

To see the video invitation, search “Mt Orab Bike Blessing” on youtube.com.

On Wednesday, May 18, at 7 p.m., we will be hosting an ARK presentation. A life-size replica of the Ark of the Covenant from Old Testament writings will be present, as well as artifacts from archeological expeditions. A love offering will be received to support their ministry.

Our next community dinner will be on Saturday, May 21, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.

All are invited to each of these events.

HealtH Matters Tom Callahan, Rph ronment. Penicillin weakens this cell wall When the bacteria reproduce, they simply split themselves into two cells. Because of the weakened cell walls, when the bacteria start to stretch out right before dividing, the cell wall bursts and the bacteria dies.

Since human cells have no cell walls they are able to continue to divide normally.

Not all antibiotics attack the cell wall. Tetracyclines, for example, block the bacteria’s ability to produce certain proteins that it needs to survive.

Since human cells produce proteins through a somewhat different means, the drug is able to kill the bacteria without killing the host.

Unfortunately the honeymoon with the wonder drug penicillin is over. Penicillin dosing has changed over the years.

The dose to treat gonorrhea in 1950 was a single 200mg shot, by 1969 that dose had gone up to 3,250mg, according to the Venereal Disease Reference Laboratory. Today penicillin is considered ineffective in treating gonorrhea. Increasing drug resistance is becoming a looming nightmare on the healthcare landscape. New antibiotics are not being found as quickly as the bacteria are becoming resistant.

Trees becoming problem on Brown County farms

BY Faye Mahaffey OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteer A few weeks ago Brown County Master Gardener, Mike Hannah, answered a Hotline question about a tree that is becoming a problem on a Brown County farm. First you have to identify the tree in question. Autumn-olive and Russianolive are non-native, deciduous shrubs or small trees that grow to 20 feet tall. The leaves on Autumnolive are small, oval, untoothed and dark green. It has small, lightyellow fragrant flowers in MayJune and small round juicy fruits that are reddish to pink in color and dotted with silver or brown scales.

Russian-olive’s leaves are narrower and longer, and dull green. It has yellow flowers and dry yellow mealy fruits. Silver scales occur on the underside of the leaves of both species. The twigs of Russianolive are typically covered with thorns. These shrubs begin to flower and fruit annually after 3 years. An individual plant can produce 8 pounds of fruit each year!

According to Fact Sheet 7 from the ODNR, Autumn-olive and Russian-olive are found in areas such as pastures and fields, grasslands and sparse woodlands.

Historically these plants have been used for erosion control, strip mine reclamation, wildlife habitat, and in landscaping. Autumn-olive and Russian-olive aggressively outcompete native plants and shrubs.

They grow rapidly and re-sprout heavily after cutting or burning.

Both species are prolific fruit producers, with seed dispersal mostly accomplished by birds.

The following control methods are recommended by ODNR: Mechanical: Hand-pulling seedlings and sprouts is effective in the early spring when the ground is moist and the entire plant and root system can be removed. Other forms of control, such as mowing and burning, without the application of a herbicide usually contribute to a larger number of root sprouts.

Chemical: Systemic herbicides can be used effectively when applied to cut stumps or when used as a foliar spray. BE SURE TO READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE APPLICATION.

May 19 is the last seminar being taught by the Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers at Southern State Community College’s South Campus, near Sardinia. The seminar is free and open to the public. The seminar time is 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The topic for May 19 is “Canning and Freezing Your Produce”. All seminars are held in the library.

Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers met with the Veteran Gardeners in April at the Ohio Veterans Home - Georgetown. It was raining “cats and dogs”, so we visited in the cafeteria. We found that some of the raised beds were already planted with cabbages and onions. In between raindrops we took a quick look at the other planting beds to make a list of what needs to be done. We were excited to welcome several new gardeners and you will have an opportunity to read about these Veterans in the coming weeks.

There is a very informative fact sheet about Gardening with the Elderly (HYG-1642-94) available

at ohioline.osu.edu. Many of the changes involved in aging must be addressed by modifications in gardening practices, situations and tools. Simple things like painting tools bright colors, creating raised beds, and gardening early in the morning are a few options to keep an older gardener active. As strength decreases, adaptive tools combined with light, easily worked soil, allows gardening activities to continue. The feel of dirt in your hands is something that all gardeners hope to enjoy, regardless of the limitations of a wheelchair, oxygen tank, or other health issues.

We feel privileged to provide assistance to these Veterans who so proudly served to ensure our freedom.

Revisiting Resolutions for the Garden In January I vowed that I would continue to use my new compost bin. Even though I had some harsh weather, digging critters, and a few other obstacles to conquer, I am proud to say that I am still adding to my bin on a weekly basis. I am looking forward to warmer weather and the opportunity to add other items to my bin. Don’t forget that a compost pile naturally breaks down yard waste into compost right in your backyard, saving you the time and energy of bagging yard waste, storing it, and then hauling it to the curb or drop-off center. This “Black Gold” loosens soil for better root penetration, improves soil capacity to hold water, and adds essential nutrients to soil.

Walking around the property is like a treasure hunt! The Virginia Bluebells are beautiful this year.

The Primroses are peeking through the ground cover on the hillside.

My Tri-Color Beech tree is just beginning to leaf out, and the recent winds took care of all the blooms on the Crabapple Tree. The rabbits hopping around in my unplanted garden stop and gaze through the rabbit fence at the onions that were planted before the rains came.

One other resolution was to read my garden magazines the day they arrive in the mail. This has been much harder to accomplish than composting! My friends call me a magazine “enthusiast”, and by the stack beside the reading lamp, I will have to agree with them.

I would like to share some information about a new magazine that I recently found, “Ohio Gardener”, Ohio’s Own Guide to Great Gardening and Landscaping.

Contributing writers include OSUE Educators, Pam Bennett, Tim Malinich, and Troy Cooper. In this month’s issue, Brad Fresenburg (who serves as the OSUE specialist in turf grass science), shares information about moles and the most effective ways to control them. As always, he says the best method is trapping those tunneling pests!

Pam Bennett, State Master Gardener Volunteer Coordinator and Horticultural Educator at Clark County OSUE, heads up the “Ask the Experts” column. Other interesting features of the “Ohio Gardener” are the Region Reports.

There are beautiful photographs and informative information about Common Diseases of Landscape Trees and Shrubs.

I am excited about this new magazine and am proud of the fact that OSUE Educators are con-

The Brown County Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Brown County ESC, took place the week of April 25 - 29.

A reception and awards presentation took place at 5:00 p.m. on Friday the 29th. There were over 300 pieces displayed in Rhonemous Hall, created by student artists. The creativity and beauty filled the hall. Congratulations to all the student artists . A very special Thanks to the art teachers that work hard bringing out the special talents of each student.

Awards of trophies and ribbons were given out at the reception. An art auction also took place with all proceeds going

to United Way. The art work was donated by the Brown County Challenge Programs Gifted Students. Thanks to everyone that made our art exhibit a huge success.

Winners included Best of Show which are pictured and Best of Category Winners: Jessica Blevins, Western Brown, Chelsea Hazelbrock Western Brown, Lindsey Nelson, Western Brown, Casey

The church is located at 10127 West Fork Rd., Georgetown.

In this case, that amount is somewhere between 500 and 700 thousand dollars, according to Sontag.

State Senate President Tom Neihaus is pursuing legislation that would allow the employees to “roll over” their vacation time, which would not require the hundreds of thousands of dollars to be paid out by the hospital board prior to closing.

Brown County also stands to possibly be paid more money if the hospital turns a profit within the next five years after the closing. Another provision of the agreement is that Southwest will pay Brown County ten per-

cent of annual earnings following taxes, depreciation and other adjustments until 2016.

The hospital board voted 8-0 to approve the sale. Following their vote, the Brown County Commissioners voted 2-1 to accept the terms of the APA. Commissioner Rick Eagan voted no.

Eagan said afterwards that he “had reservations about the deal” leading up to the signing of the APA, but vowed to support the effort now that the votes had been cast.

“Now that things have been decided, I’ll do everything in my power to make sure this deal works”, Eagan said.

Ohio state budget passes House of Representatives, moves on to Senate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 tions in the size of state government and closes the $8 billion budget gap.

“This budget is difficult,” stated Bubp. “No one takes joy in trying to balance an $8 billion deficit. We’re not doing what the state of Illinois did by raising taxes. This budget moves Ohio forward by reining in spending to live within our means.”

The bill now goes to the Ohio Senate, which could make any number of changes to the bill.

If that happens, the changes must be approved by the house before the bill can be presented to Ohio Governor John Kasich for signature.

By law, the new budget must be in place by July 1.

House Bill 153 also eliminates the estate tax effective January 1, 2013.

Bubp said this will support small business owners, homeowners, farmers, retirees and entrepreneurs.

Many local government officials have expressed reservations about the elimination of the estate tax, saying that the move will cause them to lose even more revenue.

Bubp said House Republicans made a concerted effort to trim spending from other areas of the budget to ensure more funding for education. House Bill 153 invests an additional $40 million per year to the school foundation formula and guarantees that no district will receive a cut in state aid of more than 20 percent.

Bubp said House Bill 153 also provides much-ne eded transparency for parents and taxpayers by requiring the Ohio

Department of Education to report annually to each district its ratio of administrative vs. instructional spending, its perpupil amount for each purpose and its percentage of funds for operating.

The budget also caps annual tuition increases at 3.5 percent and expands eligibility for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant.

Bubp said the bill also pro-

tects Ohio’s seniors by increasing funding for home care by $15 million over the biennium and offers incentives for local governments to deliver services at a local cost through shared services. Additionally, Bubp said the bill addresses the concerns of local governments by ensuring that they receive either their FY 2011 local government fund allocation or at least $500,000.

ODOT says Guardrail to stay in median of Highway 62/68 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “Following very careful review of this project, the design standards for this type of route and the concerns raised by area residents, we have decided to leave the remaining guardrail in place, ” said Wilson. “We considered many different options; however, there wasn’t a viable one that would also meet state and federal design specifications for the roadway,” he added.

“I’m extremely pleased for the opportunity to work with Deputy Director Wilson on this issue,” said Rep. Bubp.

“His willingness to look out for the safety of the traveling public and his flexibility in leaving the remaining guardrail standing is to be commended.”

Although the existing guardrail does not meet the Federal Highway Administration or ODOT’s current design standards, the department has resolved this to allow contractors to leave the

Southwest has also committed to improving healthcare in Brown County in the agreement.

The provision reads “Buyer confirms that (i) it intends to continue to operate the Hospital as an acute care hospital; (ii) it has no plans to eliminate any material services currently offered by the Hospital; (iii) it plans to extend the continuum of health care services in Brown County; (iv) it intends to assess the feasibility of providing the full continuum of health care services either through the ownership of the necessary assets or through partnering with other providers; (v) it intends to expand health care services in Brown County (subject to its ability to recruit necessary physicians and other personnel); (vi) it will work with local physicians and civic leaders to determine the other hospital services most needed in the community; (vii) it intends to reduce the outmigration of Brown County residents for healthcare by recruiting additional physicians to the Hospital; (viii) it intends to focus initially on recruiting primary care physicians and targeted specialists and subspecialists.”

The county also retained right of first refusal to buy any assets of the hospital back, should Southwest desire to sell them at any point in the future.

guardrail between North Pole and Chicken Hollow roads in place.

The section of guardrail between the route’s junction with U.S. 52 at Ripley and North Pole Road that has been removed already will not be replaced, and the construction of a trench drain and catch basin will proceed as designed.

The construction project, which began in mid-April, also includes paving the four-lane route from just north of Ripley to the end of the U.S. 68/62 overlap near S.R. 353 at Red Oak, as well as bridge rehabilitation. Currently, crews from the John R. Jurgensen Company are completing bridge repairs on the structure located at the 10.98-mile marker, between Hartman and Gardner roads.

The Jurgensen Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, was awarded a contract in December 2010 for approximately $5.4 million, and the scheduled completion date for all work is October 31, 2011.

The commissioners were in attendance at the meeting along with representatives from Brown County Villages that have their own sewage systems, including Georgetown, Sardinia, Mt. Orab and Ripley.

After taking care of their own agenda business, health department board member Ben Houser welcomed all the visitors.

“The reason we’ve asked you all to be here is to get your responses and input to a request from the commissioners to consider mandatory sewer hook-up, county wide,” Houser began. “We want your perspective on this recommendation, because this will affect all of you since the county does not operate its own sewer system.”

According to Bruce Lunsford, Mayor of the Village of Mt. Orab, his number one

concern was the lack of control over the addition of more homes on its sewer system.

“What happens when the four townships in the county that don’t have zoning get involved,” Lunsford said.

“There will be no control over the growth in certain areas.

“It’s not that I’m against growth, that’s not it at all. But what happens when hundreds of apartment complexes go in one area? That could mean 3 or 4 hundred additional children will be pushed into the school system all at one time, and the schools are already facing problems. There’s just no way to control the growth, and I see that as a real problem.”

Health Department Board President Todd Williams told the group that it was inevitable that every home will be required by the EPA to hook on to both water and sewer systems. “We have been assured that we, the Brown County

Health Department, do have the authority to pass an ordinance requiring mandatory hook-up. The question is, is now the time to do it?”

Jennings said that the current county system is very small, but that the discussions were important because the county system could be expanded in the future.

The main area in question is Macon, where at least five residents are already hooked onto the system along with Eastern Schools. 26 other residents that are near the sewer line are not currently hooked onto the system.

The commissioners joined the meeting after coming from another event, but answered as many questions about the proposal that they could, and encouraged any input they could get from the crowd of about 14.

The Board of Health will hold its next scheduled meeting June 7.

Support the troops rally held at Vets Home CMyK

A rally to support current and former members of the United States military was held at the Ohio Veterans Home on May 10.

Attendees braved heavy rains and thunderstorms to get to the event, which was held inside because of the weather.

Veterans Home Administrator Drew Vogel served as host for the event, which was attended by about fifty residents as well as elected officials, staff and mem-

bers of the community.

The event opened with the presentation of the colors by members of the Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps from RULH High School.

Following the national anthem that was played by the Liberty Cornet Band, Vogel then gave a short presentation on the meaning behind the pledge of allegiance.

Following the pledge, Vogel introduced State Representative Terry Johnson, who is a reserve Army Officer, as well as a

physician.

Johnson spoke to the crowd about the sacrifices made by men like the veterans in the audience, telling them “We are who we are today because of you. I love you and god bless you.”

Vogel then concluded the ceremony with a quote about war from John Stuart Mill which reads “A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and

kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”

Following the ceremony, World War II Veteran Rod Wilhelm got emotional when asked how he felt about attending the rally.

“It just brings back so many memories”, he said in a voice cracking with emotion.

“We lost a lot of good men in the war...”, he said before waving a hand indicating that he was too overwhelmed to continue talking.

Following the ceremony, the veterans slowly made their way back to their rooms.

E v E n

It’s never a good thing to find your team trailing as they head to bat for the first time.

When the deficit is eight runs, it can be a nearly impossible task to come back and win the game.

Unfortunately for the Ripley baseball team, that is exactly what happened in their 9-4 loss to Williamsburg in the first round of the sectional last Monday evening in Ripley.

The Wildcats took advantage of hard hit, and some well placed, baseballs en route to the eight run inning that put the Blue Jays in an unenviable position early on.

Though the Blue Jays controlled the rest the game, it wasn’t enough to put a dent into what turned out to be an

insurmountable lead.

“Ugly start,” Blue Jays coach Matt Folkerth said. “We couldn’t come back from it.

We scored (four) runs and they scored one run after the first.”

The Williamsburg assault started immediately. Leadoff hitter Jacob Herren singled off Blue Jays starter Jordan Zweigart.

Jacob Edmisten reached on an infield single to the shortstop, and Herren went to third.

While the next batter, Tim Ward, was at the plate, Zweigart was called for a balk. Herren scored on the play for the first run of the inning.

Ward then laced a double in to left center field that scored Edmisten to make it a 2-0 game.

After a single, Dakota Doss

grounded out to Zweigart but Ward scored to make 3-0.

Zweigart got a strikeout for the second out of the inning but wasn’t able to get the third.

He gave up a run scoring double and a run scoring single to make it 5-0 and was taken out of the game.

Folkerth brought in Blue Jays number one pitcher Brad Kirschner.

As he was pitching to his first batter, a passed ball allowed Billy West to score to make it 6-0.

Two infield singles, both slow rolling grounders that Blue Jay defenders didn’t have a chance to make plays on, scored two more runs for the Wildcats to make it 8-0.

Kirschner struck out Ward to end the inning and stop the Wildcats onslaught.

ripley’s Jordan Zweigart hits the ball during the Blue Jay’s 9-4 loss to williamsburg.

Though he gave up a couple of runs in the first, Kirschner’s presence on the mound was a calming influence.

He gave up only one more run in the next six innings and allowed the Blue Jays offense a chance to get back into the game.

“When he comes in the team is a completely different team,” Folkerth said. “They have all the confidence in the world of him. You start seeing us make some plays.

With Brad in the team settles down. They trust in Brad because they know he’s the ace of the team and he’ll get the stuff done for them.”

It took a little while but the Blue Jays offense started to knock some of the dust off of not playing in a week and a half in the third inning.

Tyler Planck walked to lead off the inning. After he moved up on a passed ball, Planck scored on a double to right field by Michael Maloney.

Kirschner brought Maloney in with a single to center field to bring the Blue Jays within six at 8-2.

Edmisten scored the ninth Wildcat run in the top of the fourth.

He singled to lead off the inning and moved to third base on Ward’s single.

He was able to score on a passed ball to make the score 9-2.

The Blue Jays added another run in the fifth inning.

Ravy’e Williams reached on a bunt he was able to beat out for a single. He moved to third when Kirschner hit a ball past the second baseman into right field.

Williams scored the third Blue Jay run when Zweigart hit a pop up to shallow right field that went off the second baseman’s glove. It got them within six with two innings remaining.

In the bottom of the final inning, the Blue Jays tried to

rally once again.

Maloney walked to lead off the inning. Williams hit a short pop fly to right field that dropped for a hit but forced Maloney out at second.

Williams kept on running and ended up at second on the play because no one on Williamsburg called time to end the play.

He moved up to third on a groundout by Kirschner.

Zweigart grounded to the Wildcats third baseman, whose bad throw allowed Zweigart to reach base and Williams to score the fourth Blue Jays run.

Tommy Ramsey singled to put runners on first and second with two out but Kyle Proffitt struck out to end the game.

Though the loss technically ended the Blue Jays season, they still have four more Southern Hills league games they had to make up.

Rain had a major impact on most high school teams this

season, but it seemed to have a bigger one on Ripley.

Going into the game against Williamsburg, they had played just 10 games.

For a young team that lacked much experience, it was a difficult first season for Folkerth.

“Coming into our tournament game, we didn’t play a game since the Friday before last week,” he said, “which hurt us. We had something like 23 games on the schedule.

Since it’s the (postseason) I don’t count it on our regular schedule, we’re 3-7.

We’ve missed 13 games but we still have four league games that we have to play.

With the young team that we have this really, really hurts.”

The Blue Jays will finish their season with games at West Union on Thursday, at Fayetteville on Friday, home against Eastern on Saturday, and at North Adams on Tuesday May 17.

Eastern drops pair to strong W’Burg, wins regular season finale

By Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press With sectionals just around the corner, it can only help to end your regular season playing strong competition that will prepare you for the coming weeks of tournament play.

Playing a 12-2 team on their home field certainly qualifies as quality opposition.

And playing Williamsburg last Saturday certainly helped Eastern get ready for the type of games they can expect during tournament play.

Unfortunately, the Lady Warriors came up on the short end of both games of the doubleheader. They lost the first game 8-7 in extra innings and the nightcap 8-3.

“Once you play a good team you slowly start improving,” Eastern coach Dennis Forsythe said. “You see the improvement. I like the improvement of our team.”

Had it not been for one bad inning, the first game may have had a better ending for the Lady Warriors.

Jumping out to a 2-1 lead after three innings, the Lady Warriors stretched their lead in the fourth inning.

Katy Mullins led off the inning with a walk. She moved up to second base on a sacrifice bunt by Haley Malott.

Savannah Newman got Katy Mullins home with a triple to centerfield. Kaylee Purdy singled to center to score Newman.

Then Shelby Mullins hit a hard line drive the Williamsburg center fielder couldn’t come up with and Purdy scored to give the Lady Warriors a 5-1 lead after four innings.

Up to that point Lady Warriors pitcher Maria Johnson had been cruising.

Then the Lady Wildcats roared back.

Johnson got two outs in the fifth, and had a runner at first base, when Willamsburg‘s Alexa Tibbs came to the plate.

She ripped a double into

right center field and Amanda Chaney scored.

It looked as if the Lady Warriors may be out of the inning as Johnson got Shannon Maloney to hit a grounder to second base. The throw to first was off line and Alexa Tibbs came around to score the second run of the inning.

After a single put runners on first and second, Jessica Meadors doubled to right field. Both runners scored and the game was tied at five after five innings.

Though the momentum seemed to change hands, the Lady Warriors bounced right back.

With one out, Newman singled to center field. She was bunted over to third base by Purdy. Johnson got her in with a single to center field.

Johnson then went to work on the basepaths.

The sophomore pitcher stole second base. Then she stole third base. She scampered home on a passed ball and the Lady Warriors were up 7-5.

Back again came the Lady Wildcats.

Once again Alexa Tibbs got the big hit as she tripled to deep center field to score Kelsey Burnett and Chaney to tie the game at seven.

Neither team could get a run in the seventh inning so they headed to extra innings.

It looked as though the Lady Warriors were going to jump on the board quickly in the extra frame.

Newman led off with a single to left field. Purdy walked.

Johnson bunted to move up the runners but she reached base safely to load the bases with no one out.

Then Lady Wildcats pitcher Rachel Meisberger bounced back. She got Shelby Mullins to fly out to center field. The fly ball wasn’t deep enough to score the runner on third.

Emily Tatman bounced into a fielders choice and the Lady Wildcats got the force at the plate for the second out.

Megan Staggs hit a fly ball

to right that was caught to end the half inning with no one scoring.

The Lady Wildcats took advantage.

With one out, Burnett reached on an error. Krysta Lynch singled to right field, moving Burnett up to third base.

Courtney Wagers bunted the ball and it looked as if the Lady Warriors were just going to hold on to the ball but Burnett was too far from the third base bag.

Shelby Mullins threw to the third baseman Staggs who chased Burnett towards the plate.

Staggs tagged Burnett as she reached the plate but the umpire ruled Burnett had tagged the plate before Staggs tagged her.

Despite the loss, Forsythe said his team played pretty well.

“We played good ball,” he said. “I’m happy with the way we played. One bad inning and we made a couple mistakes. We’ll work on those mistakes and try to avoid them in the tournament. We’ll be tough. That was a tough team we played right there.”

While they played tough in the first game, the Lady Warriors didn’t have much going in the second game against Lady Wildcat pitcher Burnett.

It started off well as Purdy drew a walk to start the game and game around to score on a passed ball to give the Lady Warriors an early 1-0 lead.

That didn’t last long as the Lady Wildcats got the run back against Tatman, who started the second game for the Lady Warriors.

Maloney singled in Wagers to tie the game at one.

The Lady Wildcats started to pull away in the second game in the bottom of the second inning.

Burnett led off with a single. After she was caught stealing, Tiffany Tibbs doubled to center field.

She came around to score on Wagers single. Alexa Tibbs

came through again with a single to score two more runs and the Lady Wildcats held a 4-1 lead after two innings.

They added on in the third.

Meadors led off with a single.

Emily Barge followed with a single. Burnett doubled in the pinch runner for Meadors, and that was the end of the day for Tatman.

Katy Mullins relieved her and gave up three more runs.

That pushed the Lady Wildcat lead to 8-1 after three innings.

With Katy Mullins settling into a groove, the Lady Warriors tried to get their offense on track.

However, they were only able to add on a run in each the sixth and the seventh innings en route to the 8-3 loss.

Though the Lady Warriors lost, Forsythe felt confident as the team moved towards its first sectional game on May 13.

The Lady Warriors opened the sectional against Southern Hills Conference foe West Union at home.

He said playing against a familiar opponent should help the young Eastern team’s confidence.

“We should feel pretty good,” he said. “We beat them 7-1 and then we beat them 7-

0. So we beat them twice and they haven’t scored very man runs off us.”

Before the Lady Warriors could get into sectional play, they had one final regular season game to play.

Last Tuesday night they beat Whiteoak 11-0 in five innings behind a perfect game from Maria Johnson despite a

three hour delay due to lightning.

Shelby and Katy Mullins paced the offensive attack.

Shelby went 4-4 with two triples and three RBI while sister Katy went 3-3 with one RBI. The Lady Warriors finished the regular season 14-5.

G-Men end regular season, sectional with losses CMyK

Though the season didn’t go well for the Georgetown baseball team, they still played hard until the very end.

The season ended for the G-Men with a sectional loss at Middletown Christian last Monday night after their regular season ended with a home loss to East Clinton last Thursday night.

It didn’t take long for East Clinton to jump on the GMen. Before the G-Men even had a chance to take a cut in the batters box, they found themselves down 10-0.

And it didn’t get much better for the home team as the visiting Astros rolled to a 171 victory in five innings.

The Astros wasted little time denting the scoreboard as the first two batters singled off G-Men starter Taylor Caudill. After moving up on a groundout, Zack Bosier got the first run in with a single to left field.

Will Henderson followed with a two run double to right center to push their lead to 30.

Three straight run scoring singles by the Astros pushed the lead to 6-0.

Bryce Bean got two more runs in with a double to right center and it was 8-0.

Henderson finished the Astros first inning run barrage with an RBI groundout that made it 10-0 after a half inning.

Just as the Astros hitters had gotten off to a hot start, Nate Witkemper did the same thing on the mound for the visitors.

Witkemper struck out three

of the four G-Men batters he face in the first inning, and he struck out two more in the second after his teammates had put three more runs on the board to push their lead to 13.

Though there were few, Caudill helped provide one of the bright spots for the GMen against the Astros.

The junior got two hits in two plate appearances and scored the G-Men’s only run in the fourth inning.

Caudill singled to lead off the inning and stole second base.

He came around to score on Joe Sandlin’s double to deep left field to get the G-

Men on the scoreboard.

That was all the G-Men could muster offensively, and the Astros added one more run in the top of the fifth inning for the final count, 171.

Needless to say it has been a rough season for the 1-13 G-Men. However, first year coach Mike Jennings has saw improvement from his young team throughout the season, including against East Clinton.

“We have a young group,” he said. “The thing is we are getting better. We actually have gotten a little bit better.

The kids are staying positive,

which is a good thing.

Our numbers are low right now. We just go each day and try to get better, and that’s what we’ve been doing.”

Even as the team got better, it wasn’t enough to help the G-Men pull off a win in the first round of the sectional against the Eagles in Middletown.

The G-Men got off to a good start and held a lead going into the fourth inning.

Then they began to make some errors that led to Eagles runs en route to a 9-5 loss that ended their season.

“The kids competed and played hard the entire game,” Jennings said.

The Fayetteville softball team beat fellow Brown County team Georgetown 150 in five innings in the first round of sectionals last Monday night.

After playing well down the stretch and finishing the season with two wins, the Lady G-Men struggled on Monday and the Lady Rockets took advantage early and often.

Fayetteville got on the board with two runs in the first inning and added five more in the third inning.

Then, in the fourth inning, things came got away from the Lady G-Men. With a few Lady G-Men errors helping out, the Lady Rockets exploded for eight runs.

“We thought going into the game as well as we’ve played

coming down the stretch we would be competitive,” Georgetown coach Kathy Chadwell said. “We came out flat. We started the game with a strikeout offensively and an error defensively.”

Georgetown was able to pound out seven hits on the evening led by Taylor Linkous (2-3) and Whitney Kistler (2-2).

However, they weren’t able to put together enough of a rally to dent the scoreboard against Carson and the Lady Rockets.

The Lady Rockets were led by pitcher Claire Carson. She went 3-4 at the plate and pitched five shutout innings for the win.

With the loss, the Lady GMen finished the season 2-15.

Fayetteville advanced to the second round of the sectional with the win.

They took on Reading on Wednesday night and lost 6-1.

Mack Tudor of Western Brown hits the discus power position for his record setting throw at the Jesse Owens Classic at Ohio State university in Columbus Ohio on 5-7-11.

Western places 8th at Jesse Owens Classic The Western Brown boys track team traveled to the campus of Ohio State University to compete in the Jesse Owens Classic on May 7, 2011.

The Broncos grabbed 8th place out of 27 teams while competing against some of the best talent in the state of Ohio.

It was a day of mixed weather. It started off cold in the morning, with some warm sun in the early afternoon, and cold rain for the last half of the day hampering performance times and distances.

The Broncos were led by junior thrower Mack Tudor, who scored 13 of the teams 31 points. Tudor, who is list-

ed as a nationally elite athlete by Ohio Milesplit, entered with the goal to compete for the championship title in two events.

The discus came first for which Tudor wasted no time letting the talented field know he came to win. In his second throw of the day Tudor launched his best throw ever, landing the discus in the field for a new Western Brown record of 178 feet and 7 inches. The throw was good enough to win the event for Tudor and give him the fourth best throw this year in division I track & field for the state of Ohio. He also placed sixth in the shot put event throw-

ing a distance of 51 feet and 7 inches.

In the steeplechase, Ryan Fulmer and Ben Booker placed third and fourth respectively.

Nick Orr jumped himself to seventh place in the long jump The relay events saw scores from the 4x800 meter relay team of Zaine Clark, Brady Patrick, Logan Sutherland and Tony Sharp good enough to place sixth.

The 4x200 meter relay team of Nick Orr, Josh Massey, Sean Massey, and Marty Sump placed eighth. The 4x100 meter relay team of Michael Lindsey, Jake Lawson, Zack Seimer, Nick Orr sprinted to eighth place.

UC Clermont’s Wallace receives 2011 David Hoch Memorial Award for Excellence in Service UC Clermont’s Barbara Wallace was named the 2011 David Hoch Memorial Award for Excellence in Service by Ohio Campus Barbara Compact, a Wallace non-profit membership organization of 47 Ohio colleges and universities with strong community service, servicelearning, and civic engagement programs on their campuses.

Wallace is the Director of the College Success and Service Learning programs at UC Clermont College. She works to organize and promote service opportunities to both faculty and students. Wallace works with AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer, Zach Bartush, to connect curricular opportunities with meaningful, identified service in the

community.

“Of all the many people at the University of Cincinnati who are so wonderfully involved in service learning, Barbara Wallace is the original pioneer and the person who has showed so many of the rest of us how to conduct this difficult pedagogy with academic rigor as well as with respect for the learner and for the community. She has proven over and over that service learning is possible within the range of our resources and talents, and that it repays our efforts many times over. She is much too young at heart to have invented co-op at UC, but she may well have invented service learning,” said Wayne Hall, Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Professor of English & Comparative Literature.

“I am honored to receive the David Hoch Memorial Award for Excellence in Service from Ohio Campus Compact. I appreciate the privilege to work with many wonderful students,

faculty members and community partners who make a tremendous impact in our region,” said Wallace.

The David Hoch Memorial Award for Excellence in Service was designed to recognize and honor the outstanding work done by either a Community Service Director or Director of Service-Learning at an Ohio Campus Compact member institution. This award is named for the late David Hoch, the Dean of Honors at the University of Toledo, who served as the Director of Service Learning for OCC from 1999-2005. Dave was instrumental in initiating and nurturing the role of civic engagement at the University of Toledo, not only in the Honors Program, but in residence life and other departments as well.

His guidance helped grow not only the academic service-learning, but also the student-led community service, and the presidential emphasis on broader civic engagement.

Eastern High School Drama Club ventures over the rainbow in Tim Kelley’s adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz, one of the most popular children’s stories ever written. The production began on Friday May 13, Saturday May 14 at 7 p.m. and will present it’s final showing Sunday May 15 at 3 p.m. in the high school cafetorium.

Admission, taken at the door, is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for senior citizens, and $3.00 for students.

A cyclone carries Dorothy and her dog, Toto, to the magical land of Oz, where they encounter all the famous characters from the pen of L. Frank Baum...the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodsman, the rubber-

legged Scarecrow, Glinda the Good Witch, and the evil Witch of the West (who is determined to destroy Dorothy and steal the secret of the silver slippers). The play is filled with wonderful stage thrills...like the escape from the dark forest of the Fighting Trees and the scarey land of the Winged Monkeys.

And we don't want to forget the awesome and funny meetings with the great Oz himself.

Eventually Dorothy defeats the evil witch, finds a way to return to Kansas, and her companions have their wishes granted. This play is produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado.

MORRISON PLACE APARTMENTS

PASS CENTER BACKGROUND The Partner for Achieving School success (PASS), a center in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services at the University of Cincinnati, was established to provide university-community partnerships and outreach programs that promote and enhance positive educational outcomes for students.

PROJECT BACKGROUND The Gen-1 Theme House is a University of Cincinnati housing facility designed to provide its residents with a safe, orderly, and highly structured environment in which to live, learn, and work.

Scouts earn Silver Award pins for honoring veterans Girl Scout Troop 46863 received their Silver Award pins in honor of their project - Christmas Wreaths for Veterans this spring. For the past two years, the troop has place handmade wreaths on the veterans’ graves in Confidence Cemetery to coincide with the Wreaths Across America program held in December. The troop believes that the veterans in local communities need to be recognized as the Wreaths Across America program handles the national cemeteries. With donations from VFW Ladies Auxiliary 7496- Felicity, VFW 1069 Fairfield, VFW - Hamilton, VFW 8202 - Maineville, and Carey Bavis American Legion Post 180 the troop is continuing to make wreaths and was honored that Russellville Troop 44066 has joined the project. Special thanks to Melissa Elliot and the girls' families for assisting them with their time, encouraging words and support in obtaining this award. Wreaths Across American has a motto that the girls would like to share, “Remember the Fallen; Honor those who Serve; and Teach the children the Value of Freedom.” The Silver Award is the second highest honor that a Girl Scout may earn.
