Drivers questioned on Hwy 68 The Brown County Sheriff’s Department has some new information as they continue to investigate the murder of Brittany Stykes.

On September 18, Sheriff’s deputies and the Ohio Highway Patrol were back in the area where Stykes was found shot to death in her jeep.

They were stopping cars in DUI checkpoint style during the same hours and day of the week that Stykes was shot, hoping that someone who regularly travels the highway may have seen or heard something.

Chief Deputy John Schadle of the Brown County

Sheriff’s Department said he considered the effort to be successful.

“We did get a chance to talk to some people and get some information. We’re going to follow up on what we’ve been told and see where it takes us.”, Schadle said.

Investigators say Stykes was shot between 7:35 and 8:15 p.m. on August 28.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. Stykes was 17 weeks pregnant at the time she died, and her 14 month old daughter Aubree was hit in the head by a bullet.

Aubree has since been released from Childrens Hospital in Cincinnati and appears to be making a full recovery.

“She’s doing very well”, said Schadle.

“Other than the signs of the injury you can still see, you would never know that she had been hurt.”

Regarding the investigation, Schadle said that the circumstances of the case are somewhat unusual.

“If this were a homicide at a house, we would be knocking on nearby doors and asking neighbors if they saw anything”, Schadle said.

“This is the closest way we could come to an area canvass by asking people who may travel this road regularly if they might know something.”

Settlement offered to end water plant fight

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The subject of a water plant in Aberdeen was the topic of court hearings and council meetings this week.

A settlement offer between the village and bondholder Annette Mineer was presented at the September 16 council meeting. It calls for the village to give Mineer the $2,742,886.27 currently being held by U.S. Bank. The village is also agreeing to return 62.5 percent of the estate taxes that Mineer is expected to pay the village. That amount will be approximately $400,000.

The agreement also calls for the bond money to pay Moodys of Dayton approximately $70,000. Moody’s drilled two wells on Mineers property and has not been paid to date. The company has filed a civil suit against the village for non-payment.

The agreement must have the approval of council to be official.

An attempt to suspend council rules and approve the agreement that night fell short and the agreement received a first reading. Spe-

cial council meetings were scheduled for Thursday, September 19 and Friday, September 20 for the second and third readings.

The settlement agreement was also discussed at a court hearing on Thursday, September 19.

A group of citizens that filed a Writ of Mandamus to force the village to build the plant asked Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the village council from voting to accept the settlement agreement.

Gusweiler declined to issue the restraining order.

He also said he could not grant the Petition to force construction of the water plant in its current form.

From the bench, Gusweiler said that it would be a separation of powers issue for a judge to interfere with the decisions of a village council as long as they were following the law.

During the hearing, Aberdeen Village Solicitor David Grimes said that the settlement agreement was drawn up because US Bank, the trustee of the bond funds, was threatening a lawsuit of

its own against the village and Mineer because the project was stalled.

“They said they would file a federal lawsuit in Minnesota and that the legal bills could approach $250,000.”, Grimes told Gusweiler.

US Bank is headquartered in Minnesota.

Following the council meeting, council member Billie Eitel was asked why it was important that the village accept the settlement offer.

“To get out of the bonds.

The bonds were a mistake.”, Eitel said.

“They were pushed on this village, they were not told the consequences or how the bonds worked or how much it was going to cost this village in the long run. If this agreement is not accepted and the majority of council decides not to build, then it will go into litigation.”

Investment banker Dallas Hurt was involved in brokering the bonds to village, and took exception to Eitels remarks about the bonds being “pushed on the village.”

G’town Fire Chief recommends that village form its own life squad

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Georgetown Fire Chief Joey Rockey discussed the possibility of the village forming its own Life Squad during village council’s September 12 meeting.

Chief Rockey gave his report regarding fire preven-

tion programs his department will be participating in.

He also reported that he had added two new members to his department who could work days and should be ready for runs in the next couple of months.

Rockey also took the opportunity to express some concerns he was having with

the current Life Squad serving the village.

“I don’t know if everyone on council knows it or not,” Rockey began, “but the squad and the fire department are not one in the same. The fire department is owned by the village and the squad is a corporation of its CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

them was that there’s no job in this district that’s an easy job, and that’s for sure. They will all have challenges and we definitely need to stick together and work as a team and have a lot of focus this year because we have a lot of major things in front of us.”

McKinney commented on major goals such as the common core program and the Ohio Teacher’s Evaluation System which is new.

“Every in-service we have needs to be very productive and well planned,” she added.

Bohl later told the board that she was currently working on applying for any grants that might be available for Western Brown.

“When I heard that the new Walmart opening up in Amelia was offering some community grants,” Bohl explained, “so I got on it really quick and we received $500 for food and materials for our after-school Title I program.”

Bohl continued, “We also just got a check for $10,000 from Monsanto, the Rural Agricultural Grant that we applied for. Those funds will be used to purchase IPads

for math classes.”

Bohl also told the board that she had written an article that was placed on the Ohio Department of Education’s website.

“I was contacted by ODE to write an article on the ‘Success by Six’ program at our school,” Bohl said. “I wrote the article and sent some pictures and a graph and they published all of it.

So that was nice and we’re happy to have that recognition for Brown County.”

The board thanked Bohl for all her hard work on behalf of Western Brown.

After a lengthy executive session the board approved the following actions;

• accept the resignation of Sean O’Neill, band director (approved Julie Woodruff to take his place); • employ Jacob Sentman, Albert Schwallie and Tyann Kiskadden as sub custodians; • employ Ralph Egbert as sub bus driver; • employ Dyelynne Florence and Pam Gibson as sub cafeteria workers; • employ Greg Liming as volunteer high school assistant basketball coach; • approved a list of travel by both students and teachers; • approve special needs transportation for two students.

As the war against drugs in Mt. Orab escalates, the Mt. Orab Police Department plans to add a K9 Unit to its force.

A K9 Unit consists of law enforcement officers partnered with a highly-trained dog. Mt. Orab’s Ptl. Michael Dearing hopes to be that officer that partners with a canine. He currently owns an eight month old German shepherd and believes a new K9 German shepherd will work out well.

The department needs to raise $15,000 for the purchase of a trained dog, for special officer training for Dearing and special equipment needed.

“We have used Georgetown’s K9 Unit in the past and it can make all the difference in detecting drugs,” Dearing said. “A well trained dog can just walk around a car and alert the officer of dirty needles and all kinds of drugs.”

Dearing described a scene a couple weeks ago where he stopped a car on State Highway 32 and when he got up to the car there were several hypodermic needles laying on the ground next to

drugs. A K9 Unit is the best way we will have at getting drugs off the streets.

The campaign by Mt. Orab’s Police Department to raise $15,000 is off to a great start according to Dearing.

Merchants National Bank just donated a check for $1,000 and Deerfield Apartment Complex in Mt. Orab also made a $1,000 donation. Dearing said the de-

partment has raised roughly $3,500 so far.

“We are very pleased that our mayor, Bruce Lunsford and Bryan Mount our Chief of Police have been very active in helping raise this money,” Dearing said.

“On October 4 and 5, Kroger will be hosting its second annual Fall Festival and all the proceeds will go towards our campaign. We are so excited about that and we hope everyone will come out and participate in the festival.”

Kroger’s Fall Festival will feature many fun events including all kinds of vendors and crafters and great food.

“The Kroger Fall Festival will also include a dunking booth where police officers can be dunked,” Dearing said with a smile, “That should be interesting.”

Dearing commented that Mt. Orab is an amazing community and have always For more information about the campaign to raise money for the purchase of a K9 Unit please contact the Mt. Orab Police Department.

All donations are tax deductible and checks should be made out to the Mt. Orab Police Department.

2013, Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler accepted a plea of guilty to Count One. Judge Gusweiler sentenced Mr. Faul to prison for the remainder of his time left on the four (4) years from his Probation Violation and an additional

twelve (12) month term on the Bill of Information that was filed. Mr. Faul was also ordered to pay court costs. Judge Gusweiler further ordered a mandatory three (3) years of postrelease control through the Adult Parole Authority upon Fauls’ release from prison.

“That was a disturbing thing to see,” Dearing said.

House study committee brings wide range of opinions to the table

For a little more than a month, the Ohio House of Representatives has been conducting hearings throughout the state to hear from residents about some of the issues that most affect their lives. These study committees have addressed subjects like tax reform, higher education, and prescription drug addiction and other healthcare issues.

I was asked by Speaker Bill Batchelder to serve as the vice chairman of the Tax Reform Legislative Study Committee, which as its name implies has dealt with Ohio’s tax structure and how best to manage the state’s revenues and expenditures. As many of you know, the state budget passed and signed earlier this year included several changes to the tax system here in Ohio. It featured a net $2.7 billion tax reduction for individuals and businesses over three years.

Debates over tax pol icy can produce an incredibly wide range of opinion, so it is beneficial to create a setting where different ideas have an opportunity to be heard. Not only did the committee consist of bipartisan representation, but the experience and geography of each member were also unique. The range of opinion was also prevalent in the testimony that was presented, which is helpful for putting issues in perspective.

As a first-year legislator, it was an honor for me to be selected to serve on the

Among the witnesses who testified before the subcommittee was Howard Berry, father of Staff Sergeant Joshua Berry, who was injured during the 2009 Ft. Hood shooting.

Joshua took his life earlier this year and his family believes that better access to mental health care resources could have helped their son. “PTSD affected soldiers need to see support in every direction they look. If we work together to make their burdens lighter, we have a chance to have the kind of country my son fought for,” said Mr. Berry.

Rep. Wenstrup, a mem-

ber of the Health subcommittee and a veteran himself, acknowledged in his opening remarks that Congress “can never repay veterans for their sacrifice, but we can honor it by ensuring that they and their families receive the care that they deserve” and thanked Chairman Benishek for bringing the subcommittee to Ohio’s second congressional district.

Rep. Massie, who represents Northern Kentucky, also pointed to the burden veterans carry. “Veterans accepted substantial personal risk to protect our country, and for that we owe them a staggering debt. I look forward to working with Congressman Wenstrup and Congressman Benishek to ensure veterans receive the mental health and other benefits they deserve,” he said.

Nate Pelletier, Executive Director of the Cincinnati based Joseph House for Homeless Veterans Supportive Housing Facility, testified on his experience helping veterans, especially those with substance abuse issues. “I am happy that Congressman Wenstrup brought up transition as a focal point in this mental health hearing. As we look at the issue of serving our veterans, the issue of integration is a strategic topic and mental health is one piece of that,” said Pelletier, a West Point graduate and Iraq War veteran.

Nearly 100 area veterans and constituents were in attendance. Before the hearing, Wenstrup and Benishek hosted a veterans’ meet and greet to thank local veterans and speak to issue facing the veterans community.

OPINION

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Eastern Local School Board members heard from Eastern High School Junior Katie Woods on September 17 regarding her time spent at HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth) Conference earlier this year.

Woods recently organized a program to collect school supplies for students in Eastern School District.

Superintendent Michelle Filon presented Woods with a certificate of appreciation.

“Katie shared her experiences she had at HOBY at a board meeting a couple months ago,” Filon said. “It was probably about two weeks after that meeting that Katie came to me and said she wanted to do a ‘Back to School Supply Drive’ with the assistance of the Warrior Guard Band members. I told her I thought it was a great idea. Tonight we would all just like to say thank you to Katie.”

The group gathered three large tubs of school supplies which was distributed between the three schools.

Also recognized and honored was Rochelle Williams, WAVE (Warrior Academy of Virtual Education) coordinator for the district.

“When we first started WAVE last year in October or November we went across the state and met with a superintendent where it was going well in his district,” Filon explained, “The entire time we were planning this, we kept saying the success of this program all hinges on the coordinator,

Ohio Department of Natural Resources. "We appreciate that USDA APHIS has incorporated numerous recommendations into their work plan such as consulting with our wildlife technicians and state foresters on conservation techniques and logging Best Management Practices."

Efforts to control the spread of ALB will fit into the wildlife management objectives for the wildlife area which includes game management, wildlife conservation and pest control.

Removal of trees will open the area up to various stages of successional growth that will add to the diversity of habitat resulting in diverse wildlife populations and species. These actions support ODNR goals for the management of wildlife-associated recreation.

High-risk host tree removal will occur up to a quarter mile from infested trees found less than 100 feet from the East Fork Wildlife Area's southern boundary.

High-risk host tree removals are part of an integrated approach in eradicating the ALB. "The Asian longhorned beetle is a very dangerous pest and we must continue to act decisively to keep it from spreading to other parts of Ohio," said David Daniels, director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture. "We support our partners in this

eradication effort and continue to work hard to rid the state of this destructive insect."

The East Fork Wildlife Area is located in southwestern Ohio. Of the 9,960 acres licensed to ODNR, 2,705 acres are managed by the Division of Wildlife for public hunting and fishing. The wildlife area’s purpose is to protect and promote habitats and to reduce wildlife damage.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which operates William H. Harsha Lake and is the land owner for most all of the surrounding public lands, "fully supports all measures needed to limit the spread of the beetle and to eliminate it as quickly as possible," stated Michael Turner, Chief, Environmental Resources for the Louisville District, Corps of Engineers. "This invasive insect is a dire threat to much of the eastern deciduous forest, most especially those woodlands found along our rivers and streams. Beyond wide spread ecological effects caused by the loss of birch, buckeye, maple and willow species this beetle, if not totally eradicated, will

recovering about 20 credits recovered by our students.”

Filon and the board thanked Williams for all her dedication and hard work.

Filon then briefly discussed HB 59, which was enacted in August. She explained that a new funding formula for traditional school districts includes an opportunity grant per pupil in the amount of $5,745 in 2014 and $5,800 in 2015, adjusted by each district’s state share index.

“They’re calling this an opportunity grant per pupil,” Filon stated, “But it’s just the amount of money we get per pupil.

Principals in all the schools in the district also gave reports and updates to the board regarding progress in their individual schools.

Board treasurer Kevin Kendall updated the board on this fiscal year’s budget and reviewed appropriations to the budget.

Kendall asked the board for approval of the annual appropriation which was given.

Later in the meeting Filon discussed ACT (American College Testing) scores in Eastern School District compared to national averages. She also talked briefly about the district state report card scores.

Filon also went over a list of goals she had set for 2013-2014 school year including: • vision, continuous improvement and focus of district work (develop an action group prepared to implement intervention); •communication and collaboration (develop and im-

Officials support eradication plans for East Fork

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today announced their support for eradication efforts in the East Fork Wildlife Area to prevent the further spread of the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). As part of Ohio’s cooperative ALB eradication program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will conduct highrisk host tree removals on a portion of the East Fork Wildlife Area. A link to the press release detailing the plans is provided here: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/n ewsroom/2013/09/oh_alb.sh tml The East Fork Wildlife Area is a federally-owned property which is leased by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ODNR. Tree removals will take place on approximately 55 acres of the 2,705-acre designated state wildlife area. At this time no cutting will be done on any part of the 4,870-acre East Fork State Park.

ETERNAL SOULS

In Ezekiel 18:4 the LORD said, “Behold, all souls are mine...” Stop and look at this verse again. He said all souls are His. I don’t care what religion you are; God said, “all souls are mine.” Get the point? You know sometimes we think that because we are Christians and are bought by the blood of Christ, that He doesn’t own the rest. But God said He owns them all. You might not think that you have an obligation to God, but think again, because you do. Whether you are saved, or whether you’re not you do have an obligation to God. You will answer to God no matter who you are and you will spend eternity in either heaven or hell. Think about it. God said, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Now the Bible tells in Matthew 10:28 that man cannot kill a soul. Jesus said, “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Man can kill the body but not the soul. You might think that when an unsaved person dies his body is buried in a grave and his soul goes to hell. That is true, but after the White throne judgment the body will be in Hell along with the soul. Let’s get on a glass sided elevator and take a quick trip down to the nether land. As we ride down into the region of Hell the flames are getting higher and hotter. We come to the place where Abraham’s bosom was located and as we look out we see that rich man begging Abraham for a drop of water. We can also see wicked Cain, who slew his brother Abel and then lied to God about it. Satan worked through Cain to kill Abel.

Cain would not kill a lamb but he would kill his own brother. We have people like that in animal rights today. They wouldn’t kill an animal but they would abort a baby. There are 5000 babies a day killed with abortion today and everyday, but don’t you dare kill that poor little animal. There was a man in Florida who was arrested because he hit a coon on the highway and left it there. He didn’t take it to the vet. Woe unto you if you hit a skunk! Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to get a balance on things. We watch too much television, too much CBS, and NBC and not enough B-I-BL-E. You don’t think about the Bible because you are not in church to hear it or you only go on Sunday morning and that’s more than enough for you. You need to be taught the Bible and if you don’t know it there won’t be

an excuse when you stand before a Holy God. I will guarantee you that! Next, as we look out of our elevator we see Pontius Pilate, the governor who had turned Jesus over to the soldiers to be crucified. He is still washing his hands crying: “I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it,” over and over he cries: “I am innocent.” Then there is Judas Iscariot throwing down his thirty pieces of silver crying: “I betrayed innocent blood” and there he is in hell still crying, “I have betrayed innocent blood.”

Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to see what hell is like?

Look with me in the last book of Isaiah and in the last verse and you will see the last judgment. It says, “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.” You might say, “I am saved, I am not going to be at the last judgment.”

But you are going to be there.

You, if you are saved, are going to be on the jury. Paul wrote: “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?” And here we stand at the white throne judgment. You will see friends and family who are going to hell forever, friends and family who you have seen and talked to but never told them how to be saved. In Isaiah the Lord said, “And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me” What is a carcass? It is a physical body.

We will see them. William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, was a soul winner. He cared about the souls of people. He organized an army of people who went out to win souls, not give out used clothing and food for the poor. He made this statement: “I would rather have my people spend a half hour in Hell than four years in a Bible college.” Why? It is because they would have more compassion for the lost. What is our business today? It is that we should care for the lost and dying, for those who are going to Hell.

former that in any way had anything to do with this 9/11 remembrance. At the service I ran into Cricket Ward. Cricket was a Smith when we worked together a few moons back. She shocked me by saying that Christian TV singing personality, Betty Jean Robinson, (and one of my favorites) was her mother's niece and her first cousin.

Betty Jean had been in the area for several days lately visiting friends and relatives. One of those relatives was her aunt, Oma McIntosh, now living at OVM. *** Are you interested in the traveling history of this area and the roads that are no longer in use? Paul Young of the Belfast/Hillsboro area wrote a book about these same roads. It is said that the only place to purchase this book is at the Old Piano Factory in Ripley in Kay and Randy Koski's section. *** It was with sadness that I heard of the death of Mildred Bruce. Mildred is one of the few readers of the Red Oak News that contacted me on the a frequent basis. She would write to me and tell me of the sending care packages to my father and two other local soldiers while they were in

service during the World War 2. The letters I really appreciated hearing from her and hearing what was going on in her life. I'm very sorry to hear that she's is now gone, along with her soldiers that she cared about. *** Monday, September 23, is the opening day of the 162 Brown County Fair.

Come and enjoy and have fun. There is lots to see and do. The opening day parade is Monday evening. That is always a good time.

Wednesday, September 25, there will be a great time of music at the Ripley Church of the Nazarene.

Come and hear some great talent. You will not be disappointed. *** Please remember if you have any items that are no longer useful to you and they are only sightly used please remember God's Closet located at the Russellville Church of Christ.

Donations can be dropped off anytime. This is an outreach ministry serving all who wish to participate.

This month God's Closet and God's Kitchen is scheduled for September 28, the Saturday of the Brown County Fair; have not yet heard if there is a change in plans because of the fair.

AAA7 is looking for volunteers in Brown and Highland Counties

Looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of others? If so, the Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. (AAA7) has an opportunity for you or someone you know who may be interested in helping provide a voice for residents in long-term care nursing facilities. At this time, volunteers are especially needed in Brown and Highland Counties.

Through the AAA7’s Volunteer Ombudsman Program, these special helpers visit nursing home residents on a regular basis to provide them with a link to the outside world. Through these visits, Volunteer Ombudsmen help to lessen the isolation and loneliness many residents experience. Volunteers also provide an essential voice for residents, providing advocacy and assistance for those who have concerns about their care.

Volunteer Ombudsmen plan their own schedules, are permitted to visit any day of the week, and are provided hands-on training and technical assistance by the AAA7’s Ombudsman Program Staff. Volunteers are recognized during an annual event and invited to various AAA7 training programs and conferences at no cost.

Doug McCoard, a Volunteer Ombudsman from Pike County, who volunteers in Scioto County, does feel that he has made a difference for residents of nursing homes who are unable to speak for themselves. “What I like best about my role as a Volunteer Ombudsman is that I have the opportunity to not only speak for residents, but

PAM MATURA,

Executive Director, AAA7

also provide residents with the encouragement and assistance to speak for themselves. It’s what keeps me going back every week knowing that I am providing a voice for residents who may not feel they have one.”

Jackson resident Lori Michael really enjoys her role as a Volunteer Ombudsman. “I am at a time in my life when I am able to give back a little bit and being a part of this program is very rewarding,” she comments.

Volunteer Ombudsman Ronda Bivens, of Vinton County, also has great things to say about her volunteering role and the opportunity she has to help others. “I always enjoy my wise, wonderful, and thoughtful conversations with residents,” says Bivens. “Many residents are lonely and need to feel they are still valuable members of society.”

If you or someone you know is a retired professional, or other capable and well-motivated person, and interested in making a difference in the lives of others, please call the AAA7 today to learn more about the volunteer opportunities available through the Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Qualified volunteers receive on-going professional support as they assist in protecting the rights of nursing home residents.

“Volunteer Ombudsmen

are invaluable to the AAA7 Ombudsman Program and the residents they serve,” says Kaye Inoshita, RN, Director of AAA7’s Ombudsman Program. “Through their wonderful service, volunteers provide a regular presence in our large tencounty service region while assisting with concerns regarding resident care. At this time, we do not have any volunteers serving in this capacity in Brown or Highland County. We hope to hear from individuals in these two counties who are interested in learning more about how they can make a difference in their community as a Volunteer Ombudsman.”

If you are interested in learning more about the Volunteer Ombudsman Program at the AAA7, please contact Cindy Oakes, Volunteer Coordinator, or Kaye Inoshita, toll-free at 1-800-582-7277.

At this meeting we discussed the fair parade, our fair float, and received a fair book. The members met with advisers to check their project books. We

talked about our annual banquet it was decided that each family will bring a main dish and a side dish.

The banquet was held at the American Legion on September 15, 2013 at 6 p.m. We then voted for the members to pay for ½ of the cost of the advisers' fair passes. The meeting was adjourned, and we went outside to have recreation time planned by Jeremy Ackley

own.”

Rockey went on to report that the squad had recently given up some runs because there was no one available at the life squad to take the calls and another county had to cover the runs.

“I’ve been a firefighter since 1989, and we’ve never missed a run,” Rockey added, “Don’t get me wrong here, it’s a sign of the times, the pure volunteer organizations are struggling right now.”

Rockey recommended to council that it might be time to organize a village owned life squad.

Mayor Cahall recommended placing the matter in the Emergency Service Committee for further discussion and look in to the possibility of forming a village owned/operated life squad. The committee would study the cost, effectiveness and efficiency of the action.

In other matters, village administrator Jeremy Germann reported to council that the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has scheduled a meeting with the Village of Georgetown and CVS Pharmacy to discuss suggestions to improve the intersection at Home Street and St. Rt. 125.

“ODOT is working on a grant to help us receive some federal and state funding to improve that area,” Germann said. “The first step will be to get CVS on board and they seem very favorable to the corrections that we’re looking at doing. We’re also looking at increasing visibility at that location and putting in new striping and a new motion detector which

will all be funded through ODOT.” Germann said that the village might have a small matching funds to come up with but it would have to be approved by council first before any work begins. He also said that the project will not happen this year.

Regarding the sidewalk and curb work going on in town, Mayor Dale Cahall said that ODOT is in control of a time frame as to when it will be complete. Germann told council that the project had to be completed by October.

“ODOT is on the project on a weekly basis making sure it is progressing,” Germann added. “But we don’t have a lot of say-so on that time-frame. “It’s built into the bidding process.”

Germann also updated council on the wastewater treatment plant improvement project. He said the project is scheduled to reach substantial completion by June 30, 2014 at a contracted amount of $4,798,600. He said the work will shut down during the Brown County Fair because of traffic issues.

Germann also said that the Town Run storage tank project is continuing along well and is scheduled to reach substantial completion by March 27, 2014 at a contracted amount of $3,296,572.

In other business, Dody Staker with the Christian Theatre for Children returned to the council for an answer to her August request for permission to have the center stage floor of the Gaslight Theatre refinished, at the cost of the Christian Theatre for Children.

“We have received a bid from Tri-State Flooring in Bethel to completely redo the floor on the stage,” Staker told council. The cost is approximately $1,200. The kids are getting splinters in their hands and feet and are picking wood chips off their costumes. We believe this will be an added benefit to our theatre group as well as anyone who uses the Gaslight Theater for performances.”

Councilman Art Owens assured council that the company Staker wanted to hire for the job was a good and reputable company. Following a brief discussion, council gave Staker approval to move forward on the floor refinishing project.

Georgetown resident Dave Guenther approached council to offer his gratitude for the help he had received in resolving an issue he had with noise coming from the skate park in Georgetown.

Guenther’s property borders the skate park and he asked council for help in resolving the noise issue.

“First I’d like to thank Chief Coburn and the rest of the police officers for enforcing the rules at the skate board park,” Guenther began, “The skateboarders are now leaving once it’s dark. It’s been quite an improvement and we appreciate that. We’ve had a little more peace around our house.”

Germann reassured Guenther that he was still looking into getting more information on ways to reduce the noise coming from the ramps and the skateboard at the park and hopes to have some answers and try out a special

test coat on the ramps in a couple weeks.

Council also heard from a resident who wanted to bring it to council’s attention of a dangerous intersection at Fourth Street and South Green Street. He said young people continue to run the stop sign at the intersection and speed through it. He said they were driving in a dangerous manner.

Chief Coburn agreed with the resident and said he has been watching the area a little closer. Council decided to allow Germann to place signs in the area saying ‘Slow, Children at Play.’

Councilwoman Raelena Morrison also spoke to council briefly about an upcoming luncheon for United Way. She invited and encouraged all council members to attend the luncheon set for October 3 at a cost of $10, or $75 for a table of eight. Council agreed to purchase a table.

restaurant. Also, The new Craft beer system allows us to go from twelve to 25 beers on tap to give more variety to our customers.”

David added that while some improvements were added, the central identity of the restaurant has not changed.

“The Brown County Hall of Fame is still the centerpiece of our restaurant, and

we will have a new area to honor high schools, local fire departments and other organizations that have donated materials to us that they are proud of.”

He also wanted to assure some customers who came in during the renovation that things are not changing at Butterbee’s.

“A lot of people walked in during the renovation process and saw bare walls

and thought we might have been changing to a different restaurant. We’re still Butterbee’s, we’re still a family sports bar with great food and great service.”

David said the renovation process was stressful at times, but the end goal was worth the effort.

“We want to continue to give the community the best possible restaurant.”, he said.

porary Restraining Order, goes even further.

“For the village of Aberdeen to continue to accept (interest payments) after declaring their intention to cancel the project would constitute a potential fraud and that may very well be the stance taken by the IRS.”, Hurt wrote.

“This town could go broke in a matter of two or three days once the judge makes a decision on how much we owe Shinn Brothers.”, Applegate said.

“Then we have to deal with the IRS.” Council member Jay Castle agreed.

“It’s highly illogical to think that the IRS isn’t going to want their money back.”, he said.

Castle also questioned the settlement.

“My biggest problem with the agreement is that it does not protect our citizens from litigation.”, he said.

Eitel also said the village is not prepared to pay a six figure judgement to Shinn Brothers.

“Can they afford to pay that judgement? No? Can the village afford to pay for the water plant and all the improvements needed? No. So are we up a creek without a paddle? Yeah.”, she said.

Castle said that he expected that the property owners in Aberdeen could eventually have to pay the money owed to Shinn Brothers and possibly the IRS. “More than likely (the cost) would be added to the tax bill of every property owner in the village until we pay it.”, Castle said.

Applegate and Mineer both expressed hope that the water plant will eventually be built.

“The people of the Village of Aberdeen deserve their water treatment plant. We have enough money coming in each year to be able to pay for it.”, Applegate said.

“I’m not willing to give up three million dollars. We need that money for the water plant and for this village.”

Mineer said her priority was to see the village be successful.

“I believe that we should build the water plant because

I want to see Aberdeen grow and develop.”

She added that residents could participate in the process by finding out which candidates for council best represent their opinions and voting for them.

“I hope the citizens will get out and vote this November for the person that is looking out for their interests. I’m asking the people of the town to step up and make the right decision at the ballot box.”

There is also a new member of council in Aberdeen.

Doctor Matt Shotwell was appointed by Mayor Harry Foxworthy to replace former council member Robert Verville, who resigned last month due to health reasons.

Before Shotwell took his seat for the first time at the September 19 meeting, he expressed his desire to move the community forward.

“I really love this town and I’ve noted there has been a lot of controversy lately. I hope that I can bring some calm and stability to council and maybe offer some different opinions. I hope we can move forward and accomplish something productive.”, he said.

the timing of the checkpoint was designed to possibly catch people who might have been in the area at the time of the shooting.

“Somebody that lives two or three hundred miles away may travel this road daily and may have seen something.”. Wenninger said.

“Something they know might just be the one thing we need to get a break in the case. If they passed a car or saw something like a car parked on the side of the

road, it could be important.

Anything at all that may not seem important to them could be important to us.”

Wenninger said the investigation is still the top priority at his department.

“Our people have been working around the clock.

We’re going to do everything possible to bring this case to closure. We not going to leave a stone unturned until we find out who is responsible for this heinous crime.”, Wenninger said.

He added that anyone

with information on the case is encouraged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (937) 378-4435, Ext. 114 or Crimestoppers at (513) 3523040.

Crimestoppers is offering a $5000 reward for information about the case that leads to an arrest.

Wenninger and Schadle both added that they were grateful to the Ohio Highway Patrol and the Ohio Department of Transportation for their assistance at the highway checkpoint.

Donaldson sentenced to prison

In April 2012, a two count indictment was filed against Lyndsay Donaldson. The indictment charged Count One, Breaking and Entering, a felony of the fifth degree, having a maximum penalty of twelve (12) months in prison and Count Two, Theft from an Elderly Person or Disabled Adult, a felony of the fifth degree, having a maximum penalty of twelve (12) months in prison. On August 8, 2012, Ms. Donaldson, plead guilty to Count One. Upon a motion by the State of Ohio, Count Two was dismissed.

Judge Gusweiler placed Ms. Donaldson under Community Control Sanctions for a period of one (1) year under the supervision of the Brown County Adult Probation Department. On February 11, 2013, Ms. Donaldson had violated her community control when she failed to comply with the rules and regulations of Community Control (Probation), in the following respects.

1. The Defendant was indicted by the Hamilton County Grand Jury on January 21, 2013 for Possession of Heroin.

2. Failing to report for Probation in the months of June and July 2013.

3. Not attempting to pay towards court cost and supervision fees as directed.

Judge Gusweiler further advised Ms. Donaldson of the optional three (3) years of post-release control at the discretion of the Adult Parole Authority upon her release from prison.

Amanda Hacker sentenced to prison

the bonds and the financial commitment.”, Hurt said.

“I was hired by the Village of Aberdeen as a financial advisor and to arrange financing for their water plant project in February 2010. I laid out in great detail, in writing in spreadsheets and in explanations, the nature of the financing, the nature of the federal government subsidies and the costs, restrictions and requirements of the financing. There was nothing that was held back in any respect from her or any of the other council members regarding the details of this. Her statement is a false and self-serving statement.”

Mineer said she is willing to accept the settlement in the best interest of the village.

I settled because I didn’t want to keep spending money on lawyers as the bondholder and on the other side as a village resident.

Legal fees are what’s going to break the town, not the water plant.”, Mineer said.

Those against the settlement point to the pending judgement against the village in the lawsuit filed by Shinn Brothers, the company hired to build the water plant.

Gusweiler has already ruled in the company’s favor and a trial is set for mid-October to determine damages.

Those damages could exceed $500,000.

That thought disturbs council member Jerry Applegate.

“To turn around and give back $2.7 million to the bondholder, $70 thousand dollars to Moody’s and $350,000 that the village would get in inheritance taxes and we’re just going to give it all that back and then be in crisis with having to pay Shinn Brothers and the IRS. Just those two alone could be almost a million dollars.”

Applegate is referring to the $193,647.78 the IRS has paid in interest on the bonds because they were part of a stimulus program.

Some on council fear that the IRS will demand its money back if the plant isn’t built.

Farm Bureau members, business and community leaders, as well as interested residents are invited to attend a special pipeline construction issues briefing, sponsored by Brown County Farm Bureau. The briefing will be held at the Southern Hills Career & Technical Center, 9193 Hamer Road, Georgetown on Monday, October 14, at 7 p.m.

The program will be facilitated by Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) Director for Energy, Utility and Local Government Issues, Dale Arnold. “Long-term energy demand and new drilling technology have sparked interest in tapping into the Marcellus and Utica Shale deposits in parts of the Appalachian plateau. Other energy service providers are revisiting many areas of western Ohio that saw oil and gas development in the twentieth century, too.” Arnold said.

It is estimated that methane and methane liquids in these deposits can address major requirements for fuel for several decades. Arnold continued, “While farmers and rural residents in some parts of the state are working with developers to access these resources, many farmers in this area will be working with other service

companies to deliver some of these resources to refineries and markets.”

Pipeline development is becoming a major issue. During the briefing Arnold will discuss developments involving interstate, intrastate and local collection pipelines, energy market trends, pipeline construction and remediation standards, the work of the Ohio Power Siting Board and other regulatory agencies governing pipeline development. Issues concerning eminent domain and farmland preservation will be explored, as well as what landowners should consider in negotiating effective easement agreements with pipeline developers involved in interstate, intrastate and local collection network projects.

“Representatives from pipeline and energy development companies are contacting residents in the region and many folks have a number of questions and concerns,” said Chris Rogers, President of Brown County Farm Bureau. “We understand that these representatives are requesting to work with landowners to conduct preliminary surveys and environmental evaluations across farm ground. “Brown County Farm Bureau recommends that landowners con-

tacted by pipeline and energy development companies schedule a time for the company to survey the property when the landowner can accompany them in the process.”

The initial survey is an important time where the landowner can meet additional company representatives, write down names and contact information, discuss the farm’s specific soil and water conservation requirements and note all farm resources and infrastructure that could be impacted during a possible construction project.

If asked to sign complex agreements and associated paperwork, landowners have the right to have their legal counsel examine all materials. “Take your time - It is still early in the project development process,” Arnold said. “”Farmers are realizing that many aspects of a pipeline easement agreement are not boilerplate, but highly negotiable.”

This is the initial briefing that the Brown County Farm Bureau Public Policy Action Team is sponsoring on the issue. The organization will be working to sponsor additional briefings where residents can meet project developers as well as representatives of state regu-

Meth bust in Aberdeen On Wednesday evening, September 11, 2013 Chief Caudill of the Aberdeen Police Department received information that at 83 Washington Street, Aberdeen a male was manufacturing methamphetamine. Chief Caudill and Officer Brandon Swayne went to the location to investigate this information. When officers arrived the male suspect known as Charles Brown, age 28 of Aberdeen, was sitting on the steps of the front porch with items underneath a towel.

After a brief investigation of the complaint Chief Caudill was able to determine Charles Brock had chemicals to cook (METH). Both officers were able to safely remove the male suspect from the chemicals. The suspect was then secured by police.

The Aberdeen Huntington

Township Fire Department and Life Squad were called to help with decontamination of the male but also hazmat assistance with scene safety and security by utilizing equipment and manpower who are all volunteer members. The chemicals could ignite catching the residence on fire along with chemical spill or contamination. The Aberdeen Police Department and the members of the Aberdeen Huntington Township Fire Department wanted to take every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of the citizens of Aberdeen and the neighborhood in which this was taking place. Aberdeen Police Department then contacted the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation with a two hour time window of arrival to the location as they have trained

professionals who specialize in the clean up of chemicals used to manufacture drugs such as methamphetamine along with other specialized skills.

After several hours and the assistance of multiple agencies and their outstanding participation and willingness to help the Aberdeen Police Department the methamphetamine lab was safely put under control.

Charles brock was taken to the Brown County Jail and booked on charges of Illegal Manufacturing and Assembly of Chemicals used to make a controlled substance.

Special thanks goes out to the Aberdeen Huntington Township Fire Department and Life Squad along with Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation for their assistance in this incident.

Creature Feature What you need to know about xylitol poisoning in canines Sugar substitutes are big business. Less sugar can mean weight loss, improved health, diabetic control, and even reduced tooth decay.

The quest for products that can sweeten and cook like sugar is ongoing. Xylitol is common sugar substitute, especially when it comes to sugarless gum. Not only does xylitol offer sweetness without calories, it also has antibacterial properties in the mouth so as to reduce periodontal disease and has been found to have far reaching health benefits in other areas of the body.

Xylitol may help with osteoporosis, prevention of ear and throat infections, and may reduce risk of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and even breast cancer.

Sounds wonderful and maybe it is – if you are a human. If you are a dog, xylitol is potentially lethal.

In the canine body, the pancreas confuses xylitol with real sugar and releases insulin to store the “sugar.” The problem is that xylitol does not offer the extra Calories of sugar and the rush of insulin only serves to remove the real sugar from the circulation.

Blood sugar levels plummet resulting in weakness, disorientation, tremors, and potentially seizures.

It does not take many sticks of gum to poison a dog, especially a small dog (see below for toxic doses). Symptoms typically begin within 30 minutes and can last for more than 12 hours.

Vomiting and diarrhea may also occur.

The other reaction associated with xylitol in the canine body is actual destruction of liver tissue. How this happens remains unknown but the doses of xylitol required to produce this effect are much higher than the hypoglycemic doses described above.

Signs take longer to show up (typically 8-12 hours) and surprisingly not all dogs that experience hepatic necrosis, will have experienced hypoglycemia first. A lucky dog experiences only temporary illness but alternatively, a complete and acute liver failure can result with death following. Internal hemorrhage and inability of blood to clot is commonly involved.

The hypoglycemic dose of xylitol for dogs is considered to be approximately 0.1 grams per kilogram of body weight (about 0.45 gram per pound). A typical stick of gum contains 0.3 to 0.4 grams of xylitol, which means that a 10 lb

dog could be poisoned by as little as a stick and a half of gum.

The dose to cause hepatic necrosis is 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, about ten times more than the above dose. In the example above, the 10 lb dog would have to find an unopened package of gum and eat it for liver destruction to occur.

Ideally, the patient can be seen quickly (within 30 minutes) and can be made to vomit the gum or candy. Beyond this, a sugar IV drip is prudent for a good 24 hours.

Liver enzyme and blood clotting tests are monitored for 2 to 3 days.

Blood levels of potassium are ideally monitored as well. Elevated blood phosphorus levels often bode poorly.

So far National Animal Poison Control has no reports of xylitol toxicity in cats. At this time, feline toxicity is unknown.

What about Xylitol C o n t a i n i n g Mouthwashes for Pets?

The oral health benefits of xylitol do seem to hold true for dogs if appropriately low doses of xylitol are used. A product called Aquadent has been marketed for canine oral care, specifically for dogs that do not tolerate other methods of dental home care. This product is mixed in drinking water to provide antibacterial benefits.

It comes in a 500cc (half liter) bottle that

contains a total of 2.5 grams of xylitol as well as in small packets. If one follows the dosing instructions on the bottle or packet, there should be no problems.

Trouble could occur if there are animals of different sizes drinking from the same water bowl (one should dose for the smallest animal to use the bowl to be sure overdose is not possible). A dog finding the bottle and chewing it up, drinking a substantial quantity of the undiluted product could easily be poisoned depending on the dog’s size.

Keep this phone number handy: (888) 4264435 This is the number for National Animal Poison Control Center, a 24hour service whereby you can speak directly to a veterinary toxicology specialist. In addition to advice, you will receive a case number, which your veterinarian can use for further consultation at no additional charge.

Consultations are approximately $60, but if your pet has a HomeAgain microchip and is enrolled in the full service registration program, poison control consultations are free.

Simply provide your pet’s microchip number to the assistant on the phone.

Any brand of microchip can be registered in the HomeAgain program for $14.99 by calling 1-888HomeAgain.

Milford’s Longstone Street Festival a success

Nice weather helped lure crowds downtown Sun staff

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

Main Street in Milford was packed on Sept. 14 with residents enjoying the Longstone Street Festival on a beautiful Saturday.

The festival featured a day full of music, food, entertainment and shopping opportunities.

“We love Milford, this is awesome,” Christy Johnson, of Hyde Park, said about the event.

Johnson and her daughter Natalie came to the event to visit with friends.

“It’s a great little town, and it’s neat they do things like this,” Johnson said.

Many of the vendors included local restaurant and

store owners who brought their products out to the street during the festival.

“It’s been great,” Steve Haydon, a vendor with the Milford Paranormal Society, said about the festival.

“I just sat down for the first time.”

Haydon and other vendors said the street was busy all day during the event, which ran from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Two stages, one at each end of the festival, featured performances from 18 bands and artists during the festival.

Big Rock Club, Billy Wallace, Hang the Monday, The Ghost Trees, Lawson Family Reunion, and more played during the festival.

There were also activities for children including obstacle courses, giant hamster balls and a bounce house.

“It’s really nice,” Emily Snider, of Milford, said about the festival.

Snider and her son Aiden came to check out the festivities. Aiden enjoyed playing in the children’s area.

“There are some great vendors,” Snider said. “It is different from normal festivals, which I like.”

The festival was hosted by the Historic Milford Association and Far-I-Rome Productions.

and the Piccadilly property for approximately $25,000.

“With both properties, the intent is to raze both of those structures,” Geis said about the properties.

Geis said the property located at 3966 Piccadilly Circle is blighted and has created a problem in the area.

He said the police department has responded to a number of calls related to the structure, and the department spends quite a lot of time responding to incidents in that area.

“I am glad to see any of those buildings taken away,” Stuart Kennedy, a Union Township resident, said about the Piccadilly area during the meeting.

Kennedy asked how the township will remove the structures after the land is purchased.

“Grants may be available to demolish the property,” Trustee Tim Donnellon said.

Geis said they have al-

ready started the process to add the Piccadilly property to the Moving Ohio Forward program, which is a federal program that provides funding to tear down blighted structures in the state.

Geis said the township and CIC are interested in improving the Piccadilly area by having more of a presence there, however, he said they would likely have to acquire more properties for something else to be able to be located there.

He said they are also planning to apply for the Glen Este Withamsville Road properties to be added to the Moving Ohio Forward program.

The Union Township CIC was created in 2010 to advance, encourage and promote industrial, economic, commercial and civic development in the township.

Township to purchase properties

BY KRISTIN ROVER Sun staff

The Union Township Trustees authorized the Union Township Community Improvement Corporation to purchase several properties in the township during their Sept. 12 regular meeting.

Administrator Ken Geis said the properties, located at 4297-4299 Glen EsteWithamsville Road, and 3966 Piccadilly Circle, are being purchased for the purpose of improving the Union Township area.

Geis said owners of the properties located at 42974299 Glen Este-Withamsville Road contacted the township about purchasing the properties.

He said the township may need the properties for road alignment changes in the area or for other uses.

Trustees authorized the purchase of the Glen EsteWithamsville properties for approximately $120,000

Batavia quarterback KeShawn Foley breaks a long touchdown run during the first quarter of the Bulldogs’ win over Gamble Montessori on Thursday, Sept. 12.

Bulldogs’ bevy of talent keeps Gamble off balance, moves Batavia to 2-1 on year

BY CHRIS CHANEY Sun staff

The Batavia Bulldogs had to make a series of adjustments for their Week Three game against the Gamble Montessori Gators, both in their preparation leading up to the game and then when the lights came on Thursday evening, but neither stood in their way of getting to 2-1 on the season.

“First and foremost, the game being on Thursday didn’t do anything bad to us, but it changed our schedule and made us get into game mode a day early,” Bulldogs head coach Don Sizer said. “There was a realization that this is 24 hours before we normally play, so I think that was the biggest reason for our slow start and also the fact that their speed is hard to duplicate in practice.”

The first quarter of the Bulldogs’ third game of the season was a slugfest, but not in the terms of a slowdown, grind-it-out-type battle; quite the opposite, in fact. The first quarter was a slugfest in that both teams were throwing haymakers at one another in the form of big-play touchdowns.

The Bulldogs tried to establish the run early, only to find the scoring recipe was through the air. Junior quarterback KeShawn Foley threw for two long touchdowns on the Bulldogs’ first two scoring drives of the first quarter before breaking off a 46-yard quarterback keeper that also went for six.

The only problem with the ease with which the Bulldogs scored was that the Gators, who tied the game at 20 through one quarter, seemingly matched Batavia’s long touchdowns with big scoring plays of their own.

Coach Sizer said the real-

ization that his team needed to get down to business sunk in after the Bulldogs let Gamble stick around through the first 12 minutes of play.

From there on out, Batavia only gave up 12 points while scoring 34 more of their own to win a 54-32 game going away.

“It took about a quarter for our guys to get acclimated to their speed and then things were better after that,” Sizer said. “(Gamble) stacked the box a lot and we had to take advantage of it.

We have some kids that can catch and a kid who can throw it around, so we took advantage of that.”

Defensively, Sizer wanted his defensive backs to jam the Gamble receivers at the line to throw off their timing, but the Gators’ speed caught the Bulldogs defense off guard to start.

Once they were able to better acclimate themselves with the opponent, the Bulldogs defense stymied a previously lethal passing attack.

The Bulldogs spread the wealth around on offense with six players finding pay dirt. Running backs Sean Hill and Dylan Wagner both ran for rushing touchdowns, while Tony Gatto rushed six times for 61 yards.

Foley was the Bulldogs’ most potent offensive threat for the third week in a row, rushing six times for 100 yards and three scores.

Foley also threw the ball 12 times, completing eight passes to five different receivers and three more touchdowns.

Conn Gerrard, Ian Stamper and Wagner scored through the air.

Foley’s reputation as the Bulldogs’ go-to guy has opened up opportunities for his teammates and their exceptional play has made the Batavia offense a tough one

to contain.

“Everyone has to key on (Foley) so much that our other players have a chance to carry the ball, to catch the ball and have some success,” Sizer said. “The other guys are freed up a little bit.”

That Batavia offense has become the problem of the Amelia Barons for Week 4.

The Bulldogs and Barons face off in Holman Stadium on Friday, Sept. 20 with both teams coming in off of big wins. Amelia dismantled Clermont Northeastern on Sept. 13, 27-0.

Sizer is expecting Amelia’s size up front to cause some problems for the Bulldogs, but is game planning to use the Barons’ size to the Bulldogs’ advantage. Sizer wants to make the bigger Amelia guys spread out and run a lot while using the weapons he described earlier to create scoring opportunities.

Amelia will be Batavia’s last game before jumping into league play with CNE the following week, then Williamsburg, Blanchester and Bethel-Tate in early October.

“We jump in with both feet against Amelia next week,” Sizer said, stacking up the Bulldogs’ next few weeks of play. “CNE has changed their philosophy a bit and have some good athletes and big kids as well.

“I think we’re going to be playing in a physical league and our deal is that we’re going to have to stay healthy. The bottom line is that we have to do our best and make the other teams go to Plan B.” The Bulldogs and Barons kick off at 7:30 p.m. at Holman Stadium tomorrow night.

The four steps in preparing for emergencies are: Stay informed, Make a plan, Build a kit and Get involved.

When making plans, it is recommended to consider all of the locations individuals and households frequent.

Then find out what plans exist for those locations and customize personal and household plans based on what household members would do if an emergency occurred at that particular location.

Examples of locations to consider and plan for include: • Home • Workplace • Vehicles • Regular methods of transportation such as; car, truck, school bus, and walking.

• School, Day Care • Places of worship

Margery Paeltz, Brown Co. eMergenCy resPonse Coordinator

• Sport arenas and playing fields • Entertainment locations such as theaters, Fairgrounds (the County Fair is next week!)

• Shopping areas such as malls and retail centers • Tourist and travel locations such as hotels, motels, and campgrounds, FEMA has amazing family planning resources available on its website, including a template for a family emergency plan. The plan asks your family to get together and decide how you will contact each other should an emergency occur, where you will go and what you will do in an emergency situation.

Examples of items to discuss as a family when making emergency plans: • Evacuation routes and paths within the house • Neighborhood meeting place (and phone number) • Out-of-neighborhood meeting place (and phone number) • Out-of-town meeting place (and phone number) • Work locations of family members and their evacuation locations • School locations of family members and their evacuation locations Family communications should be an essential component to identify when preparing emergency plans.

Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so you should consider how you will contact one another in various situations. Have contact information in a place where your family can find is easily.

Identify a contact that lives out of state for household members to notify that they are safe. It may be easier to make long-distance phone calls then calls across town.

Be sure that each family member knows the phone number and has a way to contact the emergency contact via a cellphone, coins (if you can find a payphone) or a prepaid phone card.

Technology can be a very valuable tool to us in emer-

gencies, and its benefits as well as limitations should be considered when planning for emergencies. Text messaging is also a very valuable tool. Teach family members how to use text messaging if they do not know how. Text messages can often get around network disruptions when calls are not able to be made. Social media is another platform that you may use to keep connected to family members when voice calls may not be an option.

How sustainable is your technology in an emergency? We all have dealt with a power loss, or a time when we have needed assistance, due to inclement weather conditions, or needing to get in touch with someone when an emergency has occurred. I am sure many of us have experienced emergency situations that can improve upon for future emergencies.

Extra batteries are a great option to consider since all of this technology can easily drain the power from our cellphones, and many families have switched to solely relying on cell phones. Other options to consider include hand crank emergency cellphone chargers — some have the ability to give four minutes of emergency power for a connected cellphone for just one minute of cranking.

Conserve cellphone battery during emergencies by reducing the brightness of your screen, placing your phone in airplane mode and closing apps that are not drawing power unless you need to use the phone.

Of course, your planning should also address the care of pets, assisting family members with access and functional needs and safely shutting off utilities.

Practice your plan at least two times a year, and make sure to update it as things change in your life. As tempting as it may be to deal with emergencies as they arise, remember “winging it” is not an emergency plan.

When the time changes twice during the year and you are replacing batteries, this could be the time to also review and practice your plans!

Surprise lockdown held at GEVS On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 the Georgetown Exempted Village Schools (GEVS) conducted an unannounced lockdown. Included in this event were local police, fire and EMS in the planning and execution of the drill. Students and staff responded extremely well. In less than 2 minutes the goal of making sure students and staff were in designated locations was reached. GEVS really appreciates the collaboration of the Georgetown Police, Fire and EMS. Without their knowledge, expertise and

willingness to participate the school could not have pulled off such an event. It is important for Georgetown parents and residents to know that the school is doing everything within their power to make school a safe place to learn. Everyone appreciates the opportunity to educate all of the students entrusted to them by their parents or guardians. It is GEVS’ goal to become a learning institution where all students want to attend, all staff want to teach and all parents want to send their children.

Broncos pull together for 34-31 comeback win against Ross Rams

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

BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press

As the third quarter came to a close during the Western Brown football game, against Ross High School, it seemed as if the Broncos were going to suffer their first loss of the season. With the score at 31-21, fans began to leave thinking the Rams would continue to run the ball up and down the field, as they had done all night, but as the fourth quarter began the Broncos were able to turn the game back into their favor.

“The biggest thing was that the kids believed what we were doing,” Western Brown Head Coach Evan Dreyer said. “They believed we were going to win at halftime. The intensity of the game and excitement of the crowd

helped them believe it.”

Dreyer said the Bronco players believed in the game plan and didn’t give up as the clock ticked down to zero.

“We had to be a whole team. All three elements had to play together to win and they did just that,” Dreyer said.

Throughout the course of the game the Rams gained 366 yards on the ground by rotating three tailbacks to run behind their offensive line consisting of Division I college prospects. Even though the Ross offensive linemen outweighed the Bronco defensive players by 75 pounds at the most, the determined Western Brown players made several key stops against the Ram run game.

“Ross did a great job of controlling the clock and not turning the ball

over. They made sure our defense was out there where they wore us down,” Dreyer said.

“But defensively there were a lot of key stops.

Logan Nuhn, Derrick McIntosh and Josh Young played their best games.”

He continued, “We tackled down the field better than ever.”

With a team focused on running the ball, the Broncos did their best to prepare for the larger linemen and rotating running backs. The kids in brown did “the best they could at preparing” for the running attack.

The Broncos fought back, though, by taking to the air. Senior quarterback Devyn Wood threw the ball 66 times with 52 completions, earning 455 yards bringing his season total to 1,378 after three games.

“Our line played ter-

NEWSPAPERS

rific and our receivers caught the ball well,” Dreyer said. “Devyn played well and didn’t make any turnovers.”

So far this season, the Broncos faced their biggest challenge in the Ross Rams. Media coverage of the game was bigger than any game before, and it made the Bronco players knew it was a big moment for them.

“The kids knew if was a big game since the cameras were at practice on Monday. It was exciting for our program to be involved and talked about in such a great way,” Dreyer said. “I think that is kudos to the kids and parents for how they were raised, and how hard they’ve worked. It’s exciting to see how much coverage is now around the kids.”

After winning such a big game, Western

Brown players could use it as a motivation for the rest of the season but Dreyer wants them to focus on the challenges in the present.

“If we have a terrific season, we can look back and say this game was a turning point but if we lose next week we will say would of, could of, should of. We need to focus on each opponent from week to week,” Dreyer said.

“This game gives the kids an opportunity to look at the hard work they put in and how much hard work it is going to take to get another win, but we have to focus on the present and make sure we are ready to go.”

FayettevillePerry senior Ashley Moore doing well after injury, team winning without leading scorer

BY Brandon Barb The Brown County Press

What was supposed to be a regular play resulting in a goal for the FayettevillePerry girls soccer team, ended in senior Ashley Moore breaking bother her tibia and fibula in her right leg.

“I was told I broke it on the back of the keeper’s head when we collided, and my leg went back,” Moore said.

Moore’s unfortunate accident happened during the game against Cincinnati Country Day on Sept. 9.

The lady Rockets lost that Monday game but came together to win their next three -- beating Blanchester 1-0, West Union 4-1 and then shutting out Williamsburg 9-0.

Rocket head coach Mark Ward hoped Moore’s injury would a rally point for the team, and it has been so far.

“They’ve been able to find something within them,” Ward said. “They have come together and are doing what they can to win.

They are out there thinking about her, and have a little extra incentive [for the rest of the season].”

The lady Rockets faced their toughest week of the season, by playing five games, and according to Ward it would have been hard even with the team’s leading scorer in Moore.

During that five game stretch the team came out of it 4-1.

“Everyone has been supportive,” Moore said.

“They’ve all been here and its been amazing.”

As far as the rest of the season goes, it will be challenging for the Fayetteville girls.

“We can’t take anyone lightly, but overall I feel good. I would feel better with Ashley out there, and the other girls would too,” Ward said.

Two junior varsity players were brought in to fill the space left by Moore, and some of the upperclassmen are being moved around.

“We should be okay,” Ward said.

While her teammates are focused on upcoming opponents, Moore is getting ready to start her rehab process.

“Right now its very uncomfortable. I’ve just been laying around on the couch and bed,” Moore said. “But I’m feeling good, even though I haven’t gone back to school yet.”

Moore is looking at a four to six month recovery time with her rehab hoping to start on Sept. 25. She hopes to be ready to play softball in the spring but she is worried about her leg though.

“I was told it would be fine but I’m still scared about it,” Moore said.

Moore has been playing soccer since she was 4 years old, and hasn’t missed a game due to an injury before.

“It’s a hard thing knowing this is how my senior year ends, but I can’t wait to help cheer on my team again,” she said.

Being away from school has been tough for Moore as well, but she hopes to return to class after fair break and focus back on her studies. Her goal is to go on to college and study to be an orthodontist.

Looks like participation in the upcoming Adams County Half-Marathon and 5K will more than double from last year according to Louvina Duncan who is the brain child and coordinator for the running event which is being held on Wheat Ridge Road, Sept. 28.

“This year it looks like we’re going to have well over 300 runners attend the marathon,” Duncan said.

“Runners from as far away as Main, Pennsylvania, Virginia Beach, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana have registered and we expect that number to increase especially on race day.”

The day of the race begins 8:00 a.m. sharp, preregistration and race day registration is from Friday, Sept 27, 8:00 a.m. to 8 p.m., and before the race on Sept. 28 from 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.

The Adams County Half Marathon and 5K begins and ends at Millers Bakery and Furniture at 960 Wheat Ridge Road, West Union.

The course takes in 13.1 miles down Wheat Ridge to Unity Road to Duffy Road back to Wheat Ridge finishing up Miller’s. The 5K is a 3.1 mile run down Wheat Ridge and back.

The Wheat Ridge Community Schools are again helping out with water and prizes creating a unique mini-basket award for each runner who finishes the race. Additional awards for the event will go the top finishers in all age categories and the top male and female runner in both the half-marathon and 5K. To register for the Adams County Half Marathon and 5K go online to tristateracer.com.

For additional information call Louvina Duncan at (606) 831-3260 or online at adamscountytravel.org.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to the Wheat Ridge Community Schools, the West Union Homeless Shelter, and the Adams County Human Society.

Dan Ebert wins $1,200 at Moler Raceway Park With $1200 to win on the line there was a nice field of UMP Modifieds on hand trying to win the 30 lap A-main event. In heat race action it was Devin Gilpin of Columbus, Indiana taking the win over Weasel Rhoades in the first heat while Verona, Ky’s Josh Rice won heat race #2 over Ripley, Wv.’s Robert Garnes. The third and final heat race was won by Walton, Ky’s Brandon Green over Spring Lake, Minnesota’s Dan Ebert. Tough luck would continue to follow Gilpin as a broken rocker arm would end his night following the heat race setting up a Rice and Rhoades front row. At the green flag it was Weasel Rhoades out front looking for his first win at Moler of 2013 season. There was great racing behind him a Rice, Ebert, and Green would battle closely for the top spot. Ebert would take the top spot on lap five and set sail for his second consecutive win in his Impressive Chassis Arctic Cat sponsored machine. Rice would hold on for second while Don Adams would charge from 9th starting spot to finish in 3rd position with Rhoades and Larry Pickelheimer Jr rounding out the top five spots. Joey Back would earn the $25 bonus courtesy of Daryl Miller of the Cincy Auto Examiner for being hard charger after advancing 12 positions in feature.

In the Late Model division it was a guaranteed first time winner for 2013 as no previous feature winners were in attendance. In heat race action it was Freddie Carpenter and James Rice claiming the wins. In the feature event it was Carpenter from Parkersburg WV taking the lead at the green but it was Ironton, OH’s Joe Ramey who would put pressure on Carpenter from the beginning of the race. On a couple of occasions it looked like Ramey would make a run on the leader but Carpenter would find a way to stay out front and claim his first ever feature win at MRP in his True-Tech Kryptonite Racecars machine.

Ramey would edge Rice for second spot with John Whitney Jr. and Arnie Fields rounding out top five A 20-car field would take the green flag in the Crazy Compact Division with Trevor Landrum leading the way for the first 11 laps of the race. Lap 12 would be time for Mike Gemmer to pass Landrum and set his sights on his second feature win of the season. Landrum would hold on for second position with Dillan Harris, Justin Dalton and Jerry Gibson III rounding out the top five.

The Pure Stock division held just its fourth race of the season at MRP and despite a field of 14 cars in attendance there were only 10 cars able to take the green flag and start the fea-

ture race. Jimmy Block would take the green flag and lead the first lap with Tim Brearton and Brandon Gibson right with him.

On lap 5 Brearton would get sideways and make contact with Gibson with both cars appearing to be alright but ending each of their nights. On the restart it was all Block out front with Caleb Burgess in second spot and at the end of the feature they would stay that way as Block would claim his first ever feature win at the ¼ mile speedway. Diana Hess would come home third with Ed Reynolds and Brian Brewer completing the top five spots.

In the final event of the night it was an exciting finish as Boog Verdon would claim his second career feature win in the same fashion as he claimed his first--by passing Rusty Yarger on the final lap. At the start of the 15 lap event it looked as though Yarger wouldn’t be beat but as the race wore on Verdon got faster and faster and make it work on the white flag lap. Yarger came home second with Kyle Tarvin in third position with Mark Horn and Jim Hunt completing top five spots. 9-2013 First ever appearance at MRP of the TQ Midgets plus Late Models, Modifieds, Chevettes, Crazy Compacts, Pure Stocks and Girls Grudge Races!!

Sabrina Mignerey/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Fayetteville sophomore Cole Schaefer warming up on the sideline during their loss.

BY Sabrina Mignerey The Brown County Press Coach Nathan Greers of the Fayetteville-Perry Rockets is looking forward to bouncing back from the Rockets 41-6 loss against the Williamsburg Wildcats, a non-conference game.

Greers stated that the Rockets were not prepared for the “Williamsburg Wildcats team.” The Rockets came out looking flat on 9-13 against the Wildcats, experiencing turnovers at the hands of the Wildcats.

When asked what the team will do to bounce back from the loss he is quoted

as saying “We will take things one week at a time and do the best we can to improve during our practices.”

The team has plenty of seniors who have been playing together for a few years and do a good job leading the team after a loss. To keep their heads up and help the rest of the team to improve where need be. The Rockets are implementing a new offensive design and Greers believes it will be a successful one for the team.

Greers was impressed by the teams defense against the Wildcats, with major

defensive plays from senior linebacker Cody Shaw. The Rockets only touchdown was scored by sophomore Caleb Dowers with a 35 yard rushing touchdown with just under a minute to go in the third quarter. The Rockets standings are now 2-1, 1-1 at Home. In the next few weeks the Rockets will take on Grove City Christian (0-3), Dayton, Kentucky (2-2), and Aiken (0-3). Fayetteville is looking forward to the season and how they can grow as a team.

Last summer Kitty started stalking something in our sunroom. I assumed that a mouse had moved in and waited patiently for Miss Kitty to do her job. A few days later I noticed that Kitty was sitting and staring at the wall beside the sliding glass door. I wondered what had caught her attention and discovered a salamander stretched out on the burlap wall covering (looking like one of those metal lizards that you buy to hang on an outside wall). Not knowing exactly how to handle the “salamander situation”, I grabbed a pair of garden gloves and a couple paper plates. I tried to scoop him off the wall with the plates (yes…I did NOT want to touch him), but he fell to the floor and quickly went under the sofa! Kitty watched the whole scene play out, and never moved.

I started to move the sofa and the salamander took a run for it. Miss Kitty jumped into action and grabbed the salamander in her mouth and took off running. Now I was in pursuit of Kitty and the Salamander! I finally scooped him up in-between the plates and released him on the deck. Kitty looked at me with complete disgust!

I have to admit I have no idea what species it was but I was certainly surprised at how quickly it moved and how muscular it was. Since

Tiger Salamander

salamanders love dark, wet places, I am sure that the salamander was as relieved as I was that he was back outside.

All salamanders are carnivores and come out from their hiding places during damp nights to hunt for prey. Most species eat large amounts of vertebrates such as worms, insects, and snails.

Good salamander habitat generally consists of a wet wooded environment with standing water in the spring.

These areas of standing water are called vernal pools and usually dry up by summer. Most salamanders are found in or near wetlands. They must live in these soggy surroundings because they lack the scales of reptiles, which make them susceptible to drying out.

If you choose to look for salamanders you need to take a stroll through the woods on cool, rainy days with high cloud cover. Salamanders are fascinating creatures to observe, but caution and care should be

taken. Chemicals on our skin may irritate the absorptive skin of salamanders, so handling is discouraged.

When searching for salamanders in their habitats be sure to consider the protection of the habitat and the species dependent upon it.

Where did my salamander visitor come from? I have two whiskey barrels on our deck. I have often seen them scurrying around the barrels and other planted containers. The salamander must have sneaked in when we were going in and out of the sliding glass door.

Somehow I think I would have noticed, but evidently he was faster than the speed of light!

Ohio has an impressive 24 species of salamanders.

To learn more about the diverse array of these silent amphibians, see OSU Bulletin 941 “Getting to Know Salamanders in Ohio: Life History and Management” at http://go.osu.edu/salamander.

Tips for handling vaccines Mr. Cowpie’s Party Animals at

B R O A D S H E E T

of a concern. Here are the tips from the article.

Healthy calves are the result of a conscious, planned effort that includes a comprehensive health program developed with your veterinarian stressing preventative care through proper management, sanitation, observation and vaccination.

The checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance program has developed practices for providing care to your animals in order to meet consumers’ expectations for a safe, wholesome food supply.

Here are some tips for handling vaccines: Safety and storage • Try to buy bottle sizes that will be used up quickly.

• Keep vaccines refrigerated at proper temperature (less than 45 degrees Fahrenheit) until use.

• Check refrigerator temperature regularly to make sure it’s maintained at 35 to 45 degrees.

• Use an insulated cooler and multiple ice packs for transporting vaccines to work cattle.

• Avoid direct sunlight because ultraviolet light can impair vaccines’ effectiveness, particularly modified-live virus products.

Vaccine administration and site placement • Always read vaccine labels before use and follow directions. Look at expiration dates, injection dose, route of administration, etc.

• Give injections only in the neck region—never in the rump, top loin, or back leg.

• Never exceed more than 10 cc per injection site and space injections at least 4 inches apart (hand width).

• Keep records of each and every time an animal is treated or processed.

To learn more about vaccine handling, watch the BQA training video at BQA.org or download the BQA On-Farm Training manual.

Dates to Remember Brown County Fair September 23 -28

Rumpke asks customers to properly dispose of needles, household hazardous waste

Rumpke is reminding residents that not everything can be simply tossed into a trash can or a recycling bin, and some items that may seem harmless could have dangerous implications for drivers, employees and the environment.

One big problem Rumpke has recently encountered is needles placed loose into trash or recycling containers.

“In Rumpke’s service area of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia, state laws permit the disposal of sharps or medical needles in the trash when they are used by an individual for the their treatment,” said Mike Puckett, Director of Safety, Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. “However, it is important to properly prepare sharps so they aren’t a danger to trash collection workers or the community” Rumpke asks that customers disposing of sharps, which would include needles, syringes, lancets and auto injectors place them in a rigid, leak proof, puncture-resistant container like a laundry detergent bottle, secure the lid with heavy duty tape and label the container “sharps.” The container should then be placed into the trash.

“We caution all people

to carefully note what items they are placing in the trash,” Puckett said.

“Extra caution can avoid injury and environmental harm.”

Improper disposal of medical sharps isn’t the only material that causes concern for our employees.

Household hazardous waste placed in the trash or recycling can also pose problems.

“Rumpke doesn’t accept household hazardous waste such as batteries, pool chemicals and cleaning supplies in its collection programs,” Puckett said.

“Placing these items in your trash could have some dangerous implications.”

Puckett cited the example of a major fire at Rumpke’s Cincinnati recycling facility last year as a reason for additional education on what goes in waste and recycling containers.

“Rumpke’s Cincinnati Recycling Center sustained millions of dollars worth of damage during a two-alarm fire last year. While the exact cause of the fire may never be known, investigators believe the fire may have been the result of someone placing something flammable in their recycling container,” he said.

Here are some tips to keep your garbage and re-

cycling as safe as possible: 1.

Check the label: A lot of household cleaning supplies contain dangerous chemicals. If the container is labeled with “Danger” or “Poison”, it may be hazardous waste, and cannot go into your garbage can or recycling bin.

2.

Review service guidelines: Rumpke mails guidelines to all new customers, as well as quarterly service reminders on the back of invoices These guidelines include a list of materials that cannot be thrown away, including batteries, tires, liquids and combustible materials. For more information, visit www.Rumpke.com 3.

Research local options: Most local solid waste districts offer days where residents can dispose of household hazardous waste at no cost.

Commonly accepted items include: • Paint thinner • Lawn and pool chemicals • Batteries • Florescent light bulbs • Gasoline and oil • Insecticides “As always, if customers have questions about the proper way to dispose of an item in their waste or recycling, please don’t hesitate to contact us,” Puckett said.

Working a bunch of calves is a job. From gathering them, sorting them and then running them through the chute to administer vaccines or medication is a very time consuming job. As producers, we do this in an attempt to maintain a healthy herd.

If we do all of this work, we hope for good results. The following information was in a recent Beef Blog and came from the High Plains Ag Journal. Often producers do all of this work, but get careless on some of the details that could be costly. A vaccine that should be maintained between 35 and 45 degrees does not mean use a bottle on an 80 degree day for 30 minutes or more without placing it back into the cooler. Getting it cold again after it has reached 60 degrees plus does NOT make it good again. Once it reaches warmer temperatures the effectiveness may be compromised and no longer effective. So you have done all of that work to use a vaccine that may have lost some or all of its effectiveness because you let it get too warm. This is more likely to be a problem if the bottle is not used up on this bunch of calves. The next time you use the remainder of the bottle would be more

Chute-side handling • Keep your insulated container in the shade with the lid on to minimize sunlight and dust contamination.

• Mix only the amount that will be completely administered within one hour.

• Make sure syringes are properly labeled or marked to avoid mixing vaccines when refilling because it could inactivate the vaccine or make it less effective.

• Use different colors of electrical tape to segregate syringes and products.
