Potential new owner pays 150K to hospital

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The potential new owner of Brown County General Hospital has already paid 150 thousand dollars for the property.

That non-refundable deposit was part of the Letter of Intent to buy BCGH that was signed by the Brown County Commission, BCGH Board of Trustees Chairman Eric Sontag and Southwest Healthcare Services LLC, CEO Paul Tuft last week.

Other conditions of the letter include the county being given the right of first refusal to buy the hospital back should Tuft seek to sell it “at any time in the future.”

The LOI does not signify a legally binding purchase

agreement as of yet.

A formal Asset Purchase Agreement must be negotiated and signed by all parties involved before the sale becomes official.

For the conditions of the LOI to continue to legally bind both parties, that sale must take place by April 4.

The agreement can be extended if both parties consent.

Joan Phillips, an Operational Consultant for SHC, has been working at BCGH over the past couple of weeks to help streamline efficiency and reduce operating costs.

“We are continuing to analyze revenue and expenses to help improve the financial picture for the hospital”, Phillips said.

“We are trying to find out what the community needs and wants and seeing what steps need to be taken to provide those services”, she added.

Phillips said she is proceeding with the assumption that the sale will happen as scheduled.

Phillips said that one asset that is very strong at BCGH is the employees.

“When they talk about caring for the people in the community, they say ‘these are our families and our friends’”, Phillips said.

“We want people to trust us to take care of them at one of the most vulnerable times of their lives.”

Brown County Commission President Ralph Jennings is also optimistic that the sale will move forward.

“We’re still ironing out details, but I feel pretty comfortable with how things are proceeding so far”, Jennings said.

Specific proposals made by Tuft have not been made public, and the LOI is structured to keep that information confidential.

“All information either party learns about the other in the course of the negotiations and in the course of the due diligence review which is not generally available to the public shall be considered confidential information and remain trade secrets of the party”, the LOI states.

Tuft is expected to return to Brown County periodically as the negotiations continue.

FBI tells Russellville Police Chief Collett to Aberdeen Council talks prepare for more drug problems and arrests about raising water rates

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press FBI officials are telling local law enforcement officers that they suspect drug dealers are using Brown County as a drug corridor to larger cities in Ohio.

Russellville Chief of Police Bill Collett told members of the village council and Mayor Veronica Gelter on Feb. 8 that additional funds would need to be set aside for local drug investigations.

Collett attended a ‘chief’s meeting’ earlier in the month and met with members of the Ohio BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) as well as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation).

“We believe we’re going to start seeing an increase in criminal activity in this area, especially dealing with drugs,” Collett told council.

“They just completed a raid near West Union that they’ve been working on for a while.

Drugs are being brought in from Mexico, coming up the

Rt. 68 corridor, hitting Rt 62, then going into Columbus.”

Collett said that communities like Russellville are going to see an increase of problems related to drugs, especially with robberies and break-ins.

“We’re already experiencing more break-ins than usual in Russellville,” he added.

“They wanted us to be aware that they are willing to help us with our investigations. So if we see anything they are willing to come out and help us.”

Mayor Gelter asked Chief Collett if the village was advised to set aside more than usual funds for these investigation. She also stated that the village currently only had $449 available.

“Their suggestion was to set aside drug money and money to pay local informants,” Chief Collett added. “The FBI said they would help us as much as they could, but we will have to buy the drugs and pay our informants.”

Chief Collett explained that he was told by the FBI that it was the small towns such as Russellville that would be targeted.

He said that these drug dealers were some hard core criminals.

“Their suggestion was to

start watching the activity in our area closely,” he said. “if a car seems out of place with an out-of-state license and we’ve seen it in town or three times in the village, we need to watch it.

What these drug dealers are trying to do is build a bigger base for them by hitting these small communities. The BCI said they have seen a big increase in drug activity in Brown County, a rural Appalachian area.”

The chief also reported that all his cruisers were now up to speed on all the equipment they needed to be safe, and that in the next week or so his officers would be equipped with bulletproof vests which were paid for through grant money.

In other business at the meeting council discussed, at length, continued efforts to build a much needed storage building for the fire department as well as a new EMS facility.

Plans will continue by council to find hire an architect to design the buildings, obtain all necessary permits and find a CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

By Martha Jacob The Brown County Press Water bills for residents of Aberdeen may go up in the near future.

Billie Eitel, chairwoman for the finance committee of the Aberdeen Village Council gave her report on possible increases in water bills for village residents at a meeting on Feb. 7.

“We were able to keep the cost of trash pick-up the same as last year,” Eitel said, “and we were hopeful that after reviewing our current budget we wouldn’t have to increase our water bills, but we just couldn’t do it. We’ve made a few changes based on what was presented to us on the budget.”

Eitel, also a member of the Utilities Committee said that an increase in the water bills would go from $18 to $28 a month for the first 2,000 gallons then the current cost of $2.50 a gallon in excess of 2,000 gallons will go to $4.00.

“We wanted these water costs were set so that those who

use the water the most pay for what they use.” Eitel said.

“That way the families using the least amount of water will pay the least, because this increase is going to effect them the most.”

Councilman Jay Castle, chair person of the Utilities Committee said the issue needs more discussion from the council, but that was his committee’s recommendation.

Other discussion on the water situation included the two-year-old water meters which were purchased by the village approximately two years ago are are faulty, and costing the village money.

“We were advised several years ago that we had to purchase these new meters,” Castle explained. “Then we were told we didn’t need them after we purchased them. These meters have never worked the way they're supposed to and we need to be going after the EPA or the engineer or the contractor to make it right. The people of CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Adams County Prosecutor hired by Ohio Attorney Six people named in grand jury indictments General’s office to fight prescription drug abuse

Index

State Representatives Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) and Danny Bubp (R-West Union) joined Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine at a press conference today to support his office’s efforts in combating the prescription drug abuse program in Ohio. Yesterday, Reps. Johnson, Bubp, and Dave Burke (R-Marysville) introduced House Bill 93 to enhance statewide programs aimed at combating this epidemic.

“We are so very fortunate to have someone like Mike DeWine who understands the gravity of the prescription drug abuse problem Southern Ohio faces,” Rep. Johnson said.

“This is a situation that is measured in lives lost and state government officials must work together to ensure this problem continues to decline.”

The group Surviving Our Loss and Continuing Everyday (SOLACE) also attended the press conference to show their unified support for the attorney general and his efforts. Lead

by Joanna Krohn, SOLACE is a group of mothers that have lost children to prescription drug abuse.

“We are so grateful that SOLACE joined us today to show their support,” Rep. Bubp said. “These women have turned tragedy into perseverance as they strive to ensure that others do not have to suffer as they have.”

In a release earlier today, Attorney General DeWine announced that his office is hiring Adams County Prosecutor Aaron Haslam as co-unit coordinator of its Special Prosecutions Unit. Haslam will coordinate the office's efforts with prosecutors and local law enforcement on prescription drug abuse. The Attorney General's Office also is hiring two additional assistant attorneys general with prosecutorial experience who will specialize in prescription drug cases.

Brown Countians attend as Ripley native Stivers is sworn in as member of Historic 112th U.S. Congress As the Republicans regained control of the U.S. House of Representatives, Ripley native, Steve Stivers (R-Columbus) was sworn in as part of the historic incoming freshman class to represent Ohio’s 15th Congressional District.

Stivers was sworn in by the new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, John Boehner (R- Cincinnati.)

Stivers was part of Boehner’s escort to the Speaker’s chair.

“Steve Stivers is a proven

leader, and I look forward to working with him in the 112th Congress,” Boehner said. “I know with his experience in the State Senate and the Ohio National Guard he will hit the ground running as a valuable addition to the Ohio delegation.

Stivers has served over 25 years in the Ohio Army National Guard and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Prior to running for congress, he served five years in the

Ohio Senate and previously worked in the private sector for the Ohio Company and Bank One, where he promoted economic development and encouraged job creation. In the 112th Congress, Stivers will serve on the House Financial Services Committee, where he will be able to address head-on the core cause of the financial crisis – the unregulated operation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Attending the swearing in

ceremonies and staying several days to tour Washington D. C. were Brown County residents: Carol Stivers, Bob Blom, Druann, Ron, Eliese, Olivia and Leanna Kendrick and Alan Stivers.

Chief Neu told council that he was watching the current auction closely on line, but the last bids on the pumper truck had to be in by Thursday, Feb. 10, and he needed guidelines from council on his limitations.

Reflecting on the reflection in the mirror

B R O A D S H E E T E V E N

Build a better mouse trap...and they will come Several summers ago my elderly cat, Kaytee Sue, went into retirement from her mouse catching career. She simply refused to chase or catch a mouse. She was about 18 years old at the time so I guess she decided it wasn’t worth the effort since she was well fed.

But up until that time, she was the ultimate mouse hunter, a real important asset when you live in the country.

As usual, come late fall that year a family of field mice chose my home in which to take refuge for the winter. I saw their droppings on the counter and immediately wrote ‘mousetrap’ on the shopping list.

It had been many years since I bought a mouse trap, and what I remembered about them, I didn’t like. All I could remember about them was that they were very difficult to set and would often go off in my hand before I could set them down or as I was attempting to set the down. As I could recall, the thought of them made me cringe.

I went to a local department store to see what I could find.

At first I picked up a two-pack of the standard wooden style traps and put them in my cart.

But upon observing the traps on the counter, the clerk immediately suggested I try the new and improved, most modern mousetrap on the market.

MARTHA JACOB She explained that there was no tricky mechanism to set. She said it was called a sticky trap, and it’s what everyone was buying.

It sounded great to me, so I bought one of the packages with four sticky-tray mouse catchers in it.

When I got home and opened the package I saw that the little trays were about 4 inches by four inches, lined with very sticky paper. They seemed clean and virtually had no smell to them at all, at least not to me.

‘These are great,’ I thought to myself and immediately slipped one into a kitchen counter drawer which seemed to be the most often visited by the little critters.

No more than 20 minutes later I heard noises from the drawer and upon opening it found that a little mouse was stuck to the tray with its front feet and the side of its little face.

It was struggling frantically to pull free from the trap but was stuck snuggly to the tray. I reached in and pulled out the

tray, prisoner attached, and laid it on the counter.

Almost instantly it began screaming and squirming, but the harder it tried to free itself the more attached it became to the sticky tray.

As badly as I hate mice being in my house, I hated watching that little terrified creature fight so hard to get free and stay alive. I couldn’t stand it any longer and reached down and tried to pull it’s little face off the tray, but when I did it left it’s flesh on the tray and started to bleed.

It was screaming and in so much pain that I started to cry, and shake all over. I was about to call 911. My dog could see that I was upset and started barking frantically.

I called my dad who lived next door to see if he would come over and get it, but he was fishing. Then I called a neighbor but got no answer. I even tried to call my veterinarian, but it was Wednesday and his office was closed.

Finally, I knew what I had to do, I had to take the little guy somewhere to get help. I ran back to my bedroom to change clothes.

I quickly returned to the kitchen, just in time to see the cat leap up on the counter and grab the screaming, bloody mouse between her teeth.

Instantly, her nose and whiskers became stuck to the

sticky tray along with the mouse which was really screaming loud by this time.

The dog continued to bark and upon seeing the cat running backwards, shaking her head feverishly to get loose from the trap, began snapping at the already freaked-out cat.

The cat then went berserk because the dog was barking at her and began attacking the dog, trying to tear out his eyes.

So there I was, the mouse was stuck to the sticky tray, the cat was stuck to the mouse and the sticky tray and the dog was having a nervous breakdown, snapping at both of them.

Suddenly, Boomer, my dog snaps and jerks the tray off the cat...whiskers and all..and now, the tray, with screaming mouse is stuck to the top lip of the dog.

The dog was a little calmer than was the cat so I was able to pull the trap off his lip with very little problem.

I was back to square one except the mouse is now wet with dog slobber.

I knew I had to end the suffering of the mouse so I carried it outside and used a hammer to kill it. I felt just terrible about it and cried the whole time.

I came back into the house and sat down in a chair, picked up my grocery list and put ‘new mouse trap’ back on the list.

The rest of the sticky traps went into the trash.

I have two very small mirrors in my life. Their names are Vincent and Drew. Yes, my sons. As with any mirror, you will the good things and the bad, but it is a reflection of yourself.

Here is a glimpse of what I see in my little mirrors: Vincent is quite possibly me born twenty years later into a boy’s body. We have the exact same sense of humor, the exact same temper, and most of our favorite things are the same as well. He is highly intelligent, and with that comes this extreme competitiveness. With the competitiveness comes being a sore loser. As a mother, I can lecture him, and say it’s not about winning, blah, blah, blah, but I do remember being ten years old and thinking winning is all that mattered. He is also a kind child. He holds doors open and looks after his little brother. He likes to help with dinner, and if I’m sick, he tries to take care of me. I couldn’t ask for a better kid really.

When he is mad, the world knows it. You cannot speak to him without getting your head bit off. My ex husband looked at me one day, and said that is exactly how you act. Of course, I tried to deny this, but sadly he is right. That is how I am, and it is now reflected back to me through Vincent. It’s not a reflection I enjoy, but it’s one I understand and can cope with.

Then I have Drew. My Drew is the funniest kid I know. No, really. He is THE funniest kid I know. He’s the funniest kid most people know. He’s also a social butterfly and a super sensitive boy. He is very charming.

Everyone that meets him loves him, myself included from before he was even born.

He is super sensitive though.

JENI WHITAKER, COLUMNIST You cannot yell or criticize him.

He will cry. He has been that way for as long as I can remember. I do not handle criticism well at all either. Not even constructive criticism. In sports, he just likes to play. Sure, he likes to win, but if he doesn’t he was just happy to hang out with his friends and do something. Like his brother, he is kind. He will help anyone, he loves making new friends, and nothing bothers him.

Back in December during our 30 Days of Giving Back Project, I took them both to a local nursing home to pass out candy canes and visit with the residents. I worried about how they would react. Drew walked up to each person without hesitation or prompting and asked if they wanted a candy cane. If they wanted to talk, he talked. If not, he moved on. Vincent was more reserved, but would hand Drew candy canes and talked to a few people. On the way home, they were both all smiles. Drew said he had fun, and Vincent said it made him feel good inside to do that. As I looked in the rearview mirror as I talked to them, I realized I have a beautiful reflection looking back at me. Every day of my life. Yes, they have flaws, and they are not perfect, but neither am I. At the end of the day, if you are unhappy about something your children are doing, maybe you need to look in the mirror.

ourselves. The costs are paid by fees ordered by the Court to be paid by the users of the Court assessed in the filing fees. Magistrate Bastin has generously agreed, with the blessings of Judge Worley of the Brown County Municipal Court to be trained by the Ohio Supreme Court and perform these specific mediations at no additional cost to the county. I am pleased to inform you that the mediation of those types of cases has been a wonderful success.

A mediation is considered successful when a mutual agreement is reached by the parties. The following are the mediations completed in 2010: Successful Mediations: 15, 71% Unsuccessful Mediations: 6, 28% Total Mediations: 21 Magistrate Bastin has also performed extensive services on the Court’s Civil Docket without additional cost to the Court and county. The Court appreciates Judge Worley and Magistrate Bastin’s efforts.

The Brown County Court of Common Pleas Probation Department is currently supervising 440 individuals. One hundred ninety-one individuals have been placed under community control in 2010.

One hundred ten probation violations have been filed.

Eight-six percent of defendants found guilty of violating their probation rules have been

incarcerated. Two hundred twenty-six individuals were discharged from community control this calendar year.

The Ohio Supreme Court has completed a detailed case flow management analysis of the Court at my request. The analysis applied Court Tools Measuring Access and Fairness Court User Survey, Clearance Rates [total number of outgoing cases/total number of incoming cases], Overages Rates [number of cases beyond time guidelines/total number of cases pending], Reliability & Integrity of Case Files, and Court Employee Satisfaction.

The results of the evaluation were very positive and the Court already has implemented the recommendations. I am pleased to announce the Court scored very well in its’ performance. A copy of the evaluation can be made available for your review by contacting the Court Administrator, Joni Dotson.

The Court was contacted by the Ohio Department of Corrections (DRC) about the increased number of defendants that were incarcerated from Brown County. The DRC offered a renewable fiscal year grant of $80,000.00 to create an intensive supervision probation option. The Court initiated that program in April 2010 by hiring an additional probation officer Jammie Huber who is currently superCONTINUED ON PAGE 5

Tea Party Letters to the Editor to meet Help for schools is only one click away There will be a regular meetDear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to let the members of our community know about a great resource for our schools and children. There is a website available to teachers to allow them to get great resources that they would otherwise not be able to afford.

Donors Choose (donorschoose.org) is a nonprofit web site that brings resources and materials to classrooms across the country.

Teachers can create a project to request materials they need, from pencils and paper to projectors and computers. People can visit the web site to donate money to help the teacher reach the amount they need for their materials. Once enough money has been donated to fully fund the project, the teacher receives the materials they have requested for their classroom.

As a teacher, it is very difficult to furnish everything I need for my classroom. My students would make great use of a classroom set of dry-erase white boards. This would give them the extra practice they need to advance their math skills, but the white boards are quite expensive. Donors Choose has allowed me to request the materials and allow

donors to help fund the project. Hopefully the goal can be reached so that I can get white boards for my students. There are currently other projects from area schools on Donors Choose that need to be funded.

If you get the chance, log on to

the web site to see the projects from teachers and become a donor to the project of your choice!

THE TONGUE Philippians 2:1-2: “If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that one of the greatest needs in our churches today in America and around the world, is that we have that kind of unity and harmony, being of one accord. We should have conformity one to another without opposition. In Acts 1:14 the 120 people in the upper room were in one accord. Ten days later, in Acts 2:1, it tells us that on the day of Pentecost they were in one accord. In the Old Testament they had a celebration which continued seven weeks. Each week ending on the Sabbath. Those 7 weeks, which equals 49 days, always ended on the Sabbath. The following day, which would be the 50th day and the 1st day of the week, was Pentecost, which comes from the Greek word “pentecoste” meaning 50th. Therefore, in Acts 2:1, it was on the first day of the week, the 50th day of the celebration, that they were all with one accord in one place. Verse 2 tells us: “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”

So after the house was filled, they were all sitting there surrounded by and in the presence of the Holy Ghost. Then in verse 4 came the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. It states: “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Verse 6: “Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language.”

They were confounded because those speaking were from Galilee and verse 5 tells us: “And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.” And yet each one heard the preaching in their own language. That was the miracle!

And according to verse 15, all this took place at 9 AM on Sunday morning! Three thousand people were saved and baptized that day.

You see, good things happen when the church is in one accord.

That is what Paul is speaking about in Philippians 2. Ladies and

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com gentlemen, we have bigger fish to fry then for us to be fussing with one another over petty little things. Souls are lost and going to Hell. We need to forget those differences that are separating Christians and instead concentrate on getting the Gospel of Jesus Christ out to the lost people! We are not all going to agree on everything; but we do not have to be argumentative and contentious about it! Husbands and wives do not always agree, but in a good marriage they love each other in spite of the fact. And so should we who are Christians. We can agree to disagree and go on with it. The Holy Ghost came on the church when it was of one accord. Do you know what it means when you have mouths that run on and on with offensive things? The Bible tells us that we have an uncontrollable evil. James 3:5-6 states: “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue amoung our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.” Verse 8: “But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” In Acts 6 there was murmuring and contention in the church over what widows got the larger portions. And can you believe it, there is still murmuring, complaining, and contention in the churches today over measly, unimportant things while all the while people are dying and going to hell! Murmuring, complaining, and contentions are all deadly poisons in the church. That ought not to be! Are we losing focus on what is important and what is not?

It is not ourselves we ought to be focused on! The only focus should be on the work of God!

WB Spanish Club participates in holiday activities This past December, the Spanish Club at Western Brown High School took part in activities involving the community.

The students ranging from ninth to twelfth grade went to the Locust Ridge Nursing Home in Williamsburg, Ohio to sing Christmas carols and bring joy to the residents of the home.

Later on in the month, the members of the Spanish club sold raffle tickets during their lunch time. The raffle tickets were to raise money for the club and the winner of the raffle received a piñata filled with an assortment of candy handed out at halftime of their annual Senior-Faculty game.

This year’s lucky winner was Juliana Rickey. Throughout the remainder of this school year, the students will be organizing many more exciting events. The leaders of the Spanish club are the two teachers at the high school, Señorita Weyrich and Señora Ekstedt.

we can. But when the money isn’t there we have to make cuts and hard choices.”

At the recommendation of Councilman Hugh Hall, no decision or vote was taken on the issue of the water increase because he felt it should all be on paper to study before taking a vote.

Eitel told Hall that if she were in his place she too would want to see everything in writing before taking a vote.

In other business, a request for the purchase of a used 1989 bucket truck at a cost of $4,000 for the village was discussed by council but following a vote on the issue, council members Eitel, Hall and Jason Phillips said no the the purchase while Castle, Applegate and Robert Hutchinson voted yes on the purchase.

Mayor Garland Renchen said no to the purchase and advised waiting for the budget to be finalized.

Ed Kidston, consultant with Artesian of Pioneer, handling the construction of the new waste water treatment plant offered an update on the project.

“We’ve advertised for engineering bids on the project and received two good ones,” Kidston began. “ We received one from Stan Tec Engineering and one from Belle

Engineering, both have designed four or five treatment plants, and we’ve worked with both in the past.

We’re not ready to make a decision yet we still have some details to work out with the EPA.” Kidston said his next step was to hire a well driller for a test well.

“We’re positive there is at least 24 feet of water at that site,” he added, “If this test well proves out, and we anticipate it will, we’ll begin the purchase of the property. Again let me remind you that all this is part of our initial offer to build it for $1,989,000, that will not change.”

Kidston ended his report with some comments about the new Village Administrator, Emily Henderson.

“Emily has been great to work with,” Kidston said. “She has been invaluable so far and accommodated us in moving this process along.”

Kidson’s remarks were validated by Eitel who expressed her pride in the good job Henderson was doing under very difficult circumstances.

“She’s been working many more hours than she’s been paid for,” Eitel said. “She has gone way beyond her job description.

And when another employee was hurt and unable to be here, Emily picked up the slack and never complains. Most people wouldn’t do that for $7 an hour.”

Community member Gerald Manning told the board he was planning on opening a new mall at the old International Airport to be called “Chrystals.”

“Chrystals Mall will operate much like Treasures World or Caesar Creek Flea Market,” Manning explained, “I plan on offering 15 booths inside and 50 booths outside. I already have groups interested in joining.”

Chrystals Mall should be open by April.

All the council members wished him good luck in his venture.

Blue Jays defeat Eastern, clinch share of SHL crown

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Ripley Blue Jays defeated the Eastern Warriors on homecoming last Friday, 59-52, in front of a packed house at Ripley High School.

“You never know what’s going to happen when we play Eastern,” said Ripley coach Mike Kennedy. “They shot the ball well early, despite our hands in their faces. They outworked us for 2 1/2 quarters.”

“We played one of our best games of the year,” said Eastern coach Rob Beucler.

“But we ran out of gas. We had the intensity tonight.

We’ve got to take care of the ball better and get some scoring from other places.”

In what looked like a shootout in the first frame, the two Brown County teams played to a 16-16 tie.

Ravye Williams hit a jumper for Ripley only to be answered by Chase Lawson’s jumper for Eastern.

Jarrin Taul gave Ripley the early advantage with a 3pointer, but the Warriors closed the gap with a layup by Landon Hauke.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Ripley’s Logan Perkins shoots a floater over Eastern’s Conner Purdin. Perkins scored 17 in the Jays’ win.

DeMarco Washington canned a three for the Jays, but Jordan Payne responded with two buckets for Eastern.

Hauke stuck back an offensive rebound before Williams hit another jumper. Eastern’s John York tied the count at 1212 with a post move, but Ripley regained the lead on another Williams jump shot.

Lawson and Payne each hit jumpers in the final minute for Eastern. Washington scored in the post for Ripley.

After one complete, the Jays and Warriors were tied at 16-16.

The second stanza started the same way. Lawson canned a 3-pointer, but Jordan Mitchell answered for the Jays.

Lawson drained another three before Taul countered with a jumper.

Payne and Conner Purdin scored for the Warriors, giving Eastern a 26-21 edge.

The Warriors increased their lead to 32-23 after Lawson scored on two consecutive trips.

Logan Perkins converted two shots in the post for Ripley, trimming the deficit to 32-28 with two minutes remaining in the half.

Clint Black hit a short jumper and stuck back an offensive board for the Warriors while Washington made a shot in the lane for the Jays.

At the break, Eastern held a 36-30 lead.

The Warriors came out hot in the third period. Payne hit a jumper, followed by two 3pointers from Lawson, putting Eastern in front 44-32 with six minutes left in the quarter.

Ripley responded with a 7-0 run. Perkins converted a threepoint play and added two free throws. Williams scored on a drive to the hoop, trimming Eastern’s lead to 44-39.

After York made two charity throws, Ripley finished the period on another 7-0 run.

Washington scored on a drive.

Michael Haley converted a three-point play and Perkins made 2-of-2 at the stripe, tying the count at 46-46 heading into the final frame.

Washington gave Ripley its first lead of the second half when he made a free throw.

Eastern answered with a Hauke layup after York made a nice hustling save.

Haley gave the Jays the lead for good when he nailed a 3pointer with just over three minutes remaining.

Williams added a free throw and Perkins scored in the lane, giving Ripley a 53-48 advantage.

Payne made four free throws in the final minute, but Riley Saelens converted 6-of6 at the line for Ripley, securing the 59-52 win for the Jays.

“Riley came in and hit his free throws down the stretch,” said Kennedy. “We’ve had a different kid step up every night. Logan is a strong player offensively. Ravye and Jarrin did a nice job controlling the ball in the second half. Our perimeter shots weren’t falling, so we got it inside that second half.”

“They got into our kids pretty hard defensively in the half-court,” said Beucler.

Perkins led the Blue Jays with 17 points. Williams added 11. Washington chipped in 10.

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Eastern’s Chase Lawson lofts a shot over Ripley’s DeMarco Washington. Lawson scored 20 in the game.

Lawson paced the Warriors with a game-high 20 tallies.

Payne added 16. Hauke finished with six.

“Chase is a good offensive player,” added Beucler.

“Tonight he had a good game on the boards as well.”

The win lifted Ripley to 131 overall, 9-0 in the Southern Hills League, clinching at least a share of the big division crown.

Eastern fell to 8-8 overall, 3-7 in league play.

In junior varsity action, Ripley nipped Eastern, 44-42.

Jesse Prince led the Jays with 11 points. Gage Bradford added eight. Drew Wilson chipped in six.

Nathan Scott led the Warriors with a game-high 12 tallies. Riley Prine added 11.

Josh Boudreaux chipped in nine.

The Georgetown Lady GMen clinched at least a share of their 11th consecutive Southern Buckeye Conference National division title with a 57-35 win over the secondplace Blanchester Lady Wildcats.

“We let them come out and score with their pick-and-roll early,” said Georgetown coach Bernie Cropper. “We picked up our defensive intensity and Kirsten (Grant) brought us lots of energy.”

Blanchester started hot, scoring two quick baskets on pick-and-roll plays to Jennifer Rineair. After Tori Richardson scored in the post with 3:13 remaining in the opening period, the Lady Wildcats held a 7-2 edge.

Grant kept the Lady G-Men close, scoring two baskets in the final minute, cutting Blanchester’s lead to 9-6 after one quarter.

Grant tied the score when she converted a three-point play with 6:35 left in the second stanza. She gave Georgetown the lead with a

basket in the post less than a minute later.

After Richardson tied the count with a bank shot, Grant made good on another threepoint play. She also added a layup and two free throws, giving the Lady G-Men an 1811 advantage at the midway mark of the second.

Richardson made another bank shot before someone other than Grant scored for Georgetown. Becca Whitaker made a steal at half-court and turned it into a layup, putting the Lady G-Men in front, 2013.

Casey Carter added a 3pointer before the half, giving Georgetown a 23-15 lead at the intermission.

“Kirsten ran the floor and her teammates did a nice job finding her,” said Cropper.

“Becca came off the bench and gave us a spark. Casey wasn’t scoring a lot, but she did generate offense with her penetration and passing.”

The third period belonged to the Lady G-Men. Jesse Kidwell made a layup and a three, followed by Hannah Zurbuch doing the same. With 5:17 left in the quarter, Georgetown held a 33-17 lead.

Grant made 1-of-2 at the line and added a layup, extending the Lady G-Men’s advantage to 36-17.

Western Brown’s Woodyard named National Old Spice Player of the Year

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Western’s Nick Woodyard during a 2010 run.

Nick Woodyard, of Western Brown High School, has been named a national Old Spice Player of the Year.

The Old Spice High School Football Player of the Year Program recognizes those high school football players who elevate their play and the play of their teammates. The honored athlete embodies and exemplifies leadership and performance. He’s the one the coach looks to when the game is truly on the line.

“When he stepped in as quarterback, he asked for more scouting tape, stayed after practice to help teammates and helped his injured brother,” said Western coach Evan Dreyer.

Woodyard was chosen from a large pool of nominees from 10,000 participating high school football teams to receive this honor. He is honored as one of 50 players

across America who stood out among their peers for their exceptional performance and leadership.

As one of the 50 Old Spice Players of the Year, Woodyard was honored in a full-page congratulatory announcement in USA Today on Thursday, Feb. 3, 2011, along with the newspaper’s coverage of National Letter of Intent Signing Day. High school coaches from across the country nominated one player from their teams as their Player of the Year. Each nominee received a certificate to acknowledge his accomplishment and was eligible for the national Old Spice Player of the Year award.

The Old Spice Player of the Year award is sponsored annually by Procter and Gamble, the makers of Old Spice products.

Creature Feature The ‘Do’s and Don’ts’ of whelping puppies Since we have had three C-sections and a couple puppy deliveries in house in the last week at All Creatures, I thought I would write something about delivering puppies.

First and foremost, always consult

with your veterinarian two weeks before the ‘due date’ for a pregnancy check. At this time, ask if your veterinarian will be available to you if a problem arises with the whelping. If not, where should you go for help?

What you will need • Weeks ahead, begin saving

mend that you start recording the temperature twice a day at least a week before the ‘due date’. The normal temperature is 100.3F to 101.3F. It will drop to about 98.0 - 98.3 when labor is about to begin. The day her temperature drops, she will refuse food and drink. This is normal. Her instinct is telling her that she needs to ‘fast’ before the big event.

In the first stage, she will rest a lot and occasionally go out to urinate and defecate. As the time passes, she will get more restless and begin paying a lot of attention to her vulva – cleaning it frequently.

You will be able to feel the contractions if you lay your palm on her side. They will first occur about every 10 minutes and will last about 30 seconds.

The Delivery She will progress into the second stage – where you can actually see the contractions. They occur about every 8 - 10 minutes. These are not the “pushing” contractions, but she may begin panting.

At this point, you should move her to the whelping box that has the old sheets, papers and towels ready for her to make her ‘nest’. She will pant and be obviously apprehensive. She may begin tearing up the bedding and paper, getting up and lying down frequently. She will want comfort from you and will be obviously reassured by your presence. The contractions will become longer in duration and get closer together. When she is almost at the next stage, the contractions will be occurring about every minute and lasting almost the whole minute.

The third stage – the actual whelping stage – is immediately preceded by her tail lifting with each contraction. She may cry with pain and will be obviously worried and apprehensive. She will have one contraction after the other. You must reassure her that all is well and that you are there to comfort her. Just before the delivery, the first puppy can be felt as a hard

‘shoot’ out quickly. Very often the first puppy is a “breech” presentation and is often a large sized one which makes the first delivery difficult for her. If it is a prolonged delivery it would be helpful for you to grasp the part of the exposed body to keep it from going back up into the bitch, until the birthing is complete.

When delivered, the pup (the whelp) is contained in a clear thin sac and the placenta is attached by a cord.

You must tear the sac away from the head, cut the cord and clear the nasal passage.

The bitch may or may not clear away the sac and she may or may not bite the cord properly. We have always felt more at ease doing these things than allowing the bitch to do them. After each pup has been dried off, weighed and checked over, give it to the dam, who will lick it all over, especially around the rectum.

This is to make sure the puppy passes the little bit of ‘meconium’ which is the first bowel movement.

This meconium is rather sticky and greenish black in color. After the dam has also suckled the pup, and you know she is about to deliver another pup, you can put it in a clean box with sides, on a towel that has a hot water bottle under it, or 2 towels over a heating pad turned on low until all the lit-

ter has been delivered.When you are sure there are no more puppies to be delivered, you can change the bedding or papers in the whelping box, take the dam out to ‘potty’ her, give her a drink of warm milk or soup, and return all the puppies to her. Make sure they are all nursing well. You should not hear any ‘munching’ or ‘sucking’ sounds. If you do, the pup is not latched on properly. The tongue curls up and around the nipple forming a complete suction when attached properly. Have only a small lamp turned on – the pups eyes are still forming and make sure the room is warm – 85 degrees – because the pups will get chilled very easily. If the pups are all the same color, with no marking to distinguish one from the other, and if you are keeping track of weights, then you can identify each of the pups for a few days. After that however, you will have to design a different I.D. method. Some people use colored nail polish on a foot or a tail or top of head.

When to call a Vet 1. If the temperature has dropped down but the bitch is not showing signs of labor within 24 hours. This indicates uterine inertia 2. If you see green discharge coming from vagina. This indicates a puppy in distress.

3. If the first pup cannot be delivered by the bitch, the Veterinarian will have to do a Caesarean section to save the other puppies who are being obstructed.

4. If, in the midst of the labor a pup cannot be presented normally, it may be due to one of the reasons above.

5. Circulatory embarrassment or collapse due to an exceptionally large litter. The bitch will have difficulty breathing and will often lie with her rear legs extended with the feet facing down.

6. If more than two hours pass between pups with no further contractions.

7. Any time you are concerned!

• A rectal thermometer to take the bitch’s temperature with and some vaseline • A wall thermometer to make sure the room is warm enough for newborns (it should be about 80 - 85 degrees F) • A small wash basin, hand soap and towel • A small amount of disinfectant to soak your forceps and scissors in, between puppies in the basin.

• Warm water to wash the bitch’s rear end after the delivery is over.

Some method of heating the whelping box or the area, that won’t overheat the dam or puppies.

Labor Never expect your dog to deliver a litter by herself.

Even though my wife, Dr Linda Meakin, has been breeding dogs for 25 years, she still gets nervous and excited about an expected litter.

Although animal whelping is a ‘natural event’ this does not mean that the animal does not get into serious trouble if left unattended. Mother and puppies can die because the owner thoughtlessly left her alone during this crucial time.

Labor commonly begins 63 days after the mating, but healthy pups are born safely at 59 days as well, so it is in your best interest to be prepared 10 days ahead of time.The onset of labor is heralded by a noticeable drop in the dog’s rectal temperature. I recom-

The Brown County Press - Sunday, February 13, 2011 - Page 19

said Richard Rucker, executive director of the Division of EMS. “The resources are available, so we encourage agencies to apply.”

Grant applicants can apply online at www.ems.ohio.gov, utilizing an electronic signature. Select the Grant Applications option from the EMS Web page and follow the instructions. You must obtain a unique password and user ID if you do not already have one.

Rep. Bubp votes in support of economic development effort State Representative Bubp (R-West Union) announced that Am. Sub. House Bill 1, which creates a non-profit economic development organization called JobsOhio, passed from the Ohio House of Representatives by a vote of 59-37 earlier this week. Its passage marks a crucial step toward fostering a more responsive business climate in the state of Ohio.

“Ohio is at war right now with other states and other countries for jobs,” declared Rep. Bubp during a House Floor speech on the measure.

“We need jobs in the state of Ohio, and I believe that this bill does that.”

Am. Sub. House Bill 1 authorizes the creation of the nine-member board, with the governor as chairman and eight business leaders who

understand the private sector.

Six members must be Ohio residents, leaving room for two members with a national business perspective.

The legislation also calls for a six-month review of the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD), which is a $1.2 billion state entity with approximately 400 employees—only about 15 percent of whom directly assist job creation.[1] According to the bill, the director of ODOD is obligated to evaluate all duties within the department and submit recommendations to improve the department’s efficiency to the General Assembly.

Am. Sub. House Bill 1 now moves to the Ohio Senate, where it will undergo further consideration and debate.

Priority 1 is for the training of personnel and purchase of equipment. Only eligible EMS agencies may apply for Priority 1 grants. Eligibility requirements can be found under the Grant section of the EMS Web site.

Grant priority 2 is for injury prevention research. Grant Priority 3 is for the rehabilitation, retraining and reemployment of trauma victims.

Priority 4 is for trauma research pertaining to trauma medical procedures. All entities are eligible to apply for Priorities 2, 3, and 4.

The grant period for all applications is July 1st through June 30th.

Applications must be postmarked by April 1, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. No late applications will be accepted.

Grant applicants may also download a hard copy application. Applicants completing the hard copy application must provide proof of eligibility. Please contact EMS Grants Administration at 1800-233-0785 with any questions regarding the grant application process.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Division of Emergency Medical Services is reminding all EMS agencies seeking funding for the 2011-2012 grant year, grant applications for Priorities 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available.

“Many EMS agencies have taken advantage of previous grant opportunities and benefited from additional training and equipment, which allowed them to raise the level of care in their communities,”

Chatfield College in St. Martin and Cincinnati, Ohio reports its highest enrollment in history for the spring 2011 semester, which began January 17, 2011. Official numbers show a spring semester enrollment gain of more than 15 percent from fall semester and doubled enrollment since spring last year.

The private, Catholic, twoyear liberal arts college has been experiencing larger than average growth this year; the fall semester saw a more than 50 percent increase. Chatfield now serves more than 400 students across both campuses.

To accommodate for the explosive growth, the college added extra classes to the spring schedule including a full-day of courses offered on Saturdays at the Findlay Market campus.

Chatfield also held recruitment fairs to attract additional faculty to prepare for the increase. All

Chatfield courses continue to be capped at 15 students, as the college is dedicated to providing students with individualized attention.

“As we continue to experience such rapid growth, we make it our goal to never sacrifice quality,” says Curt Cotter, Director of Admissions.

“People are coming to Chatfield because we work to remove obstacles to make it possible for anyone to get an education.”

“Many of our students thought they could never earn their college degree,” explains Cotter. “We supply them with all of the tools they need to succeed. It didn’t take long for the word to get out and for our enrollment to explode.”

Cotter adds that although the college has added classes and faculty to accommodate the increase in enrollment, the emphasis at Chatfield is still on smaller class sizes and personal

Deadline March 15 for SSCC Foundation Scholarships in nursing/healthcare Nursing and allied health students at Southern State Community College could reap the benefits from the myriad scholarship opportunities offered through the SSCC Foundation, a tax-exempt organization founded in 1996.

SSCC Foundation donors provide many scholarship opportunities to Southern State students. These scholarships are coordinated to encourage students to pursue their academic careers at the college. Scholarships are available to both transfer stu-

dents and those intending to pursue a degree leading to immediate employment. To date, more than 600 students have been awarded scholarships funded by the SSCC Foundation.

For complete applications, eligibility guidelines, and deadline dates please contact Southern State’s Office of Financial Aid at 1-800-6287722 ext. 2610 or visit www.sscc.edu/admissions/sch olarships_foundation.htm.

interaction between students and instructors.

“Our student/teacher ratio is approximately seven to one,” says Cotter.

Chatfield offers the Associate of Arts degree and is an open enrollment college accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

Chatfield’s open enrollment policy means that prospective students need only have a High School Diploma or GED to attend Chatfield and will be guided individually through the enrollment and Financial Aid application process. Chatfield’s accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission allows credits earned at Chatfield to easily transfer to four-year colleges.

The St. Martin campus is located at 20918 State Route 251; St. Martin, OH 45118.

Massage for athletes?

Absolutely!

Conditioning your men and women prepares the body for rigorous performance on the court. Lay-ups, taking shot after shot and ‘suicides’ are few of the many techniques coaches use to prepare the body to excel on the court. However, muscles that work over and over tend to shorten, causing tension in the muscle.

Lay-ups use muscle groups from head to toe. For example, quads are running, biceps and triceps are dribbling the ball, upper traps and neck muscles are looking side to side, hamstrings plant the foot, calf muscles push off for the leap and upper traps and lats lift the ball and ... SWOOSH! ‘Suicides’ are great for cardio and warming up the thigh muscles, but knees and ankles take the beating. The number one injury in the NBA, according to Sports Health is ankle sprains; the number three injury in the NBA is the knee! Just this season the Junior Guard of the Xavier Musketeers, Brad Redford, suffered from a left anterior cruciate ligament tear (blown ACL)! He’s out for the season.

Well conditioned muscles work best when allowed to relax

at their normal resting length.

This is where massage therapy can change the game! Our body works through give and take.

When one muscle is taking, such as tight quads, the hamstrings have to give more than allowed with being too tight. Releasing the tension in the hamstrings allow the quads to work more efficiently. The same idea can be used in regards to the knee and ankle. The muscles on the inside of the knee or ankle can become weakened due to the tight muscles on the outside.

Decreasing the tension in the muscles, increasing circulation and blood flow and alleviating pain are just a few of the many benefits your athletes will experience through massage therapy. A healthy, well conditioned athlete can then bring their best to the court.

If you would like to get more information on massage, whether you’re an athlete or you just exercise at home, call Amy L. Fuhrman, LMT, an Ohio Licensed Massage Therapist for Advanced Regional Therapy, (513) 518-7697. The public can also receive massage at the Ohio Valley Manor.
