WB sued for allowing racial harassment The Western Brown School District is facing a federal lawsuit alleging a pattern of racial discrimination in the district.

The suit was filed in April

by Dale Fulton and KellyBishop Fulton on behalf of their son Elijah. The Fultons allege that their son was subjected to a pattern of repeated racial harassment and that the district took inadequate action to prevent it.

They are asking for $327,000 in damages.

The Fultons also sued the Brown County Educational Services Center and Investigator Don Raybold and asked for one million dollars in

punitive damages.

Federal Judge Sandra Beckwith dismissed the claims against the ESC and Raybold in June, writing that the Fulton’s failed to demonstrate that either had a policy or history of discriminatory conduct. Beckwith also threw out the punitive damages claim because school districts are not subject to such claims under federal law.

Regarding her decision to uphold the claim against Western Brown, Beckwith wrote; “Plaintiffs complained on multiple occasions to both school administrators and members of the School Board about the harassment to which E.F. was being subjected. Nevertheless, accord-

ing to the complaint, Plaintiffs complaints were essentially ignored - neither the school administrators nor the School Board took any affirmative measures to stop the harassing conduct. Discipline, with one exception, was not meted out to offending students; teachers and administrators remained uneducated and untrained on how to deal with racial harassment. Additionally, the School Board failed to appoint an anti-harassment compliance officer as required by its by-laws. Clearly, the failure of the School Board to take any steps to stop the racial harassment E.F. was experiencing, despite its awareness that such harassment was ongoing, is not reasonable and can be said to

represent an official policy or custom of the School Board...Similarly, the School Board’s failure to appoint an anti-harassment compliance officer despite its by-law requiring it do so evinces a custom or policy of deliberate indifference to the need to address claims of racial and other forms of unlawful discrimination.

In summary...the School Board had a policy of deliberate indifference to the racial harassment and discrimination allegedly suffered by Plaintiffs.”

The Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education conducted an investigation into the Western Brown School District and CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Dallas Hurt resigns as Coroner warned again to BC Democrat chairman stop Goldson death probe

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Dallas Hurt has resigned as chair of the Brown County Democrat Central and Executive Committees.

In a letter to the democrat central committee dated October 12, Hurt resigned as of 3:00 p.m., October 13.

The letter is reprinted below.

“Committee persons: Since the Primary Election of 2006, our local Party has split into two different factions. This resulted in the vacancy of half the Committee seats in the 2008 Election.

The local Party has limped along since then, trying to fill vacancies, rallying behind certain candidates, but leading no campaigns. It is a fact our Executive Committee has become dysfunctional.

In January 2015, you and Ralph Quallen asked me to take the Appointment of the Secretary of State for the unexpired Bd of Elections seat of Ralph Quallen through

Dallas Hurt has resigned as chair of the Brown County Democrat Central Committee. He remains on the Board of Elections.

Spring of 2016. I have fulfilled all the positive things you asked of me to this date and I balk at the request to hobble and render the Bd of Elections tied and paralyzed so as to sabotage the Election

process.

I will not let personal vendettas destroy the Elections process in this County.

I, hereby tender my resignation as Chair of the Brown County Democrat Central and Executive Committees, effective at 3:00 PM, October 13, 2015.”

In further remarks emailed to the Brown County Press, Hurt expanded on his comment on what he referred to as “the request to hobble and render the Bd of Elections tied and paralyzed so as to sabotage the Election process.”

Hurt wrote “At recent meetings of the Committee I have been asked to use my seat on the Board of Elections to tie the votes up; use the position to "throw everything into the lap of the Secretary of State, in order to prove that an election can not be put on without Director Kathy Jones". I don't believe that is true and I resist being pushed like that.”

Floats already under construction for Mt. Orab Christmas parade

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press With all the hype about the November 6 release of the new “Peanuts” Movie, featuring Snoopy and Charlie Brown, the Mt. Orab Parade Committee wasted no time in resurrecting their Charlie Brown costumes from years past.

“A long time ago we had the Charlie Brown characters in the parade, but we’ve had them stored in the basement,” said committee member and Mayor of Mt. Orab, Bruce Lunsford.

“But now this year’s Christmas parade will be on Nov. 28, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, which is just a few weeks after the new Peanuts Movie is released. The kids will really enjoy seeing these characters from that movie, in their hometown parade.”

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Brown County Coroner Dr. Judith Varnau and her staff have been warned once again to stop investigating the death of Zachary Goldson.

Brown County Common Pleas Magistrate Ken Zuk granted a protective order against Varnau and her staff on October 14.

Attorneys for five current and former Brown County Sheriff’s Office employees moved for the order after the

coroner’s office sent out requests for information in August that related to Goldson’s death.

Brown County Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler ruled in April that Varnau cannot continue to investigate the death of Goldson.

Gusweiler wrote, “The court does want to make its order abundantly clear.

There is one action and one action only that the Brown County Coroner, Judith Varnau may take with respect to the death of Zachary Gold-

son. She may petition the Brown County Court of Common Pleas to change the cause of death of Mr. Goldson to something other than homicide by strangulation.

Any other action at all by the coroner, her staff or her investigators will be treated as a direct contempt of this court’s order and will be punished accordingly.”

Zuk noted the clarity of Gusweiler’s ruling when speaking with Varnau attorney Thomas Eagle.

Shane Bishop

JoAnn Hildebrandt

Richard E. Pride II

Brian Rhodes

Four candidates go head-to-head to fill 3 Western Brown BOE seats Four highly qualified candidates are hoping to fill three open seats on the Western Brown School District.

Those candidates include JoAnn Hildebrandt, Brian Rhodes, Shane Bishop and Richard Pride II. Each of the candidates responded to a questionnaire sent to them by the Brown County Press. The following information was taken from those questionnaires.

Shane Bishop “I was selected to fill the Western Brown Board of Education seat vacated by Bill Neal in 2010,” current board member and candidate Shane Bishop said. “My only reason for deciding to apply for Mr. Neal’s seat was to have the opportunity to serve our community by serving students and the teachers that support them. Now, five years later, my reasoning has not changed.”

He continued, “I was elected to the board in 2011.

One of my daughters graduated from Western this past May, and I still have an 8th grader at the middle school. I myself graduated from Western in 1988 and I am a member of the Western Brown Academic Hall of Fame.”

Bishop feels that he brings to the table five years experience as a Western Brown board member along with a long history of leadership from serving four years at the United States Navel Academy, eight years as a Navy Submarine Officer and over 16 years of business experience.

“I am currently (and have been for the last 16 years) a partner with Orion International, the nation’s largest military recruiting and placement company; where we work to help veterans transitioning out of the military,

placing them into strong civilian careers,” Bishop said.

“I am personally very pleased with the education that my kids have received, and continue to receive at Western. I can’t say I am completely satisfied with where Western Brown ranks with the other schools in Brown County, but I can say it is my desire to see Western Brown become a world class educational institution. I want to see us be better in all that we do, from how we educate in an increasingly high technology world; to our performance on the state report card and how our students perform on ACT/ SAT assessments, to our results in the arts, as well as on our various sports teams; to how we treat people in the classrooms, in the hallways, on the sports fields and in our community as a whole.”

Bishop said that he wants to continue to push the bar to make Western Brown the place where students want to go to school, where parents want to send their kids and where teachers want to teach.

“I do not want us to be satisfied with the way things are, even when they are good,” he said. “I want to continue to work on culture, and improved use of technology in the classroom and improved performance on state-wide testing as well as ACT/SAT testing.”

JoAnn Hildebrandt Joann Hildebrandt has served three terms as Western Brown Local School District Board of Education member and is hoping to retain her seat.

“I first decided to run for Western Brown school board over 12 years ago,” Hildebrandt said on her questionnaire. “I still feel like I have the time, the energy and the desire to continue serving the people and students of the Western Brown School Dis-

trict. I can’t say there is any specific reason I am running again, I just hope to continue contributing to the district in any way I can.”

Hildebrandt, who is retired from the Mt. Orab Library said that her four children all graduated from Western Brown and that she herself is a graduate of Mt. Orab High School.

“I think I bring experience and a sincere desire to do what is best for all kids and families in our district,” she said. “I’m pleased with the progress Western Brown is making, but of course there is always room for improvement.”

When asked how she feels Western Brown ranks with other Brown County schools, Hildebrandt said, “It is difficult to judge a district solely on state rankings, the state tends to change the standards and system by which these are all rated.”

Hildebrandt said she would like to see her district have more satellite programs from the Southern Hills Career Technical Center.

“I would also like to have fewer of our students choose open enrollment and choose to attend our schools,” she said. “Western Brown is a great place to learn.”

Richard E. Pride II Richard “Richie” Pride has served as a Western Brown Local School Board member for 12 years, first elected to serve in 2002, Pride has run for a board seat three times. He says he is running in this upcoming election because he was asked by the school’s superintendent to run again and he is excited to do so.

“All my own kids have all graduated from high school,” Pride said. “And I myself am a graduate of Hamersville.

“I have enjoyed my time serving on this board of education and I feel that I bring good old ‘common sense’ to the table, along with 12 years of working as a board mem-

ber in the past. I was a school counselor, now retired, and enjoyed helping our students.

I am also a minister.”

Pride admitted that he is proud of where Western Brown School ranks in Brown County but he feels that the board needs to continue striving to become an even better school district.

“I would like to see Western Brown continue to look for more and more ways to conserve and save money for the district,” Pride said.

“We’ve come a long way in conserving, especially with the recent construction of solar panels at our school which should save us a great deal in our electric consumption. Then there are our concerted classroom efforts and our continuing efforts to be competitive in all the best practices.”

Brian Rhodes Brian Rhodes has run for Western Brown School Board in the past and early this spring he decided he would run for a seat on the board again in November.

“I want to serve and represent this community,” Rhodes said. “I have a grandchild that just started kindergarten this year and I have three children that have graduated from Western Brown High School.

“I feel like I would bring a lot to the table in this race, including dedication, leadership, organizational skills and a willingness to work hard for the taxpayer.”

Rhodes occupation is a supervisor. When asked if he was pleased with where Western Brown School District ranks with the other Brown County Schools, he stated that he is very pleased with the education offered at Western.

“If I am elected to the board,” Rhodes said, “I will continue to seek out the most qualified educators and administrators that will provide the best opportunities for our children.”

Time to see if the gamble pays off The weather this past week, following the fair, has been splendid! Wouldn’t you agree? Though we would have relished this week's weather for fair week, many farmers are relishing this week as they begin the final phase of this year’s crop, the harvest.

The harvest is especially exciting, for it is when the “gamble” pays off. And the gamble is big. Getting the crop in the ground, provided the weather allows, is the first. And then what if it rains so much or doesn’t rain enough and the crops are scorched or stunted? Sort of like this year’s weather.

Then when fall comes, its finally time to harvest but this can be difficult too.

I remember a time when Daddy could wait no longer to take his crop off his land or risk loosing it all. His combine, (which didn’t have heat or air conditioning and was a midget compared to today’s com-

SHERRY MITCHELL TAKE JOY, A FARMHOUSE JOURNAL bines) left big ruts everywhere. In places he would slip and slide nearly getting stuck. A hard freeze would have helped but that year the conditions for the harvest were not pretty like this week has been. But he made the harvest. A return on his investment was realized. And it was always a celebration when the checks came in the mail. A sigh of relief could be breathed.

But here’s one you don’t often think about. Posted and shared many times over on Facebook are hard luck stories that bring a tear to one’s eyes. Here’s one such story. Sadly a farmer who had worked hard all his life had a crop ready to be harvested. Awe, yes, he was about to see a return on

his investment, when, get this, the roll was called up yonder and heaven had its own harvest to be managing and his name came up and he journeyed onward.

We all know we don’t get to say when that time will be. We can’t say, “Just a minute, Lord, I need to get the crops in for my family.

Then I’ll go.” It just doesn’t work that way, does it?

He left his widow with heartbreak and hundreds of acres of crop still standing in the field while she made funeral arrangements.

While she also agonized his passing, she was also agonizing the monumental task of “now what” not only of living life without her mate but how was the crop going to get to market and pay off her debt? Plus, she counted on the harvest money to live on. Then her miracle unfolds.

Neighbors, who followed the Golden Rule, quickly organized a posse

exposure to Agent Orange.

Over the years, much progress has been made to deliver benefits and services to those impacted by Agent Orange. However, work still needs to be done to guarantee information is shared and available to aging descendants.

“Many service men and women defended our county with honor and sacrificed much during the Vietnam conflict. We must honor their family members who still suffer today by providing them the resources necessary to live healthy lives,” Uecker said.

The Toxic Exposure Research Act of 2015 creates a national center for research within the existing framework of the Department of Veterans Affairs focused on the health conditions of service members’ descendants. A newly created advisory board will inform the research center of services that should be developed for descendants or changes in health conditions that impact this population. The Act also establishes a national outreach campaign to disseminate information on exposure rates and the resulting health conditions.

SCR 11 will now be referred to a committee for further consideration.

of fellow neighbors to get it done. Combines drove in from here and there. Those who didn’t have combines pitched in and brought other equipment to get the grain to market. And those great women folk rallied too and brought food and beverage for those fellow angels running the equipment. At the end of the day, 450 acres was harvested in ten hours.

How does one repay a debt of this magnitude?

You can only look for a way to pay it forward.

Look for a way to follow the golden rule and look for ways to wear your angel wings for someone else.

You don’t have to go to heaven to be an angel to someone here on earth.

There are many ways to reach out. And I’m pretty sure it also says somewhere, it is better to give than to receive an investment of your time that pays off in the end when the harvest comes your way.

Wenstrup calls on Obama to maintain troop levels in Afghanistan As General Campbell, the U.S. Commander in Afghanistan, is making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week, nearly two dozen Republicans on the House Armed Services Committee are calling on President Obama to maintain current troop levels of 9,800 in Afghanistan through 2016.

The letter, spearheaded by Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), warns of the “dangers of a premature drawdown of U.S. troops in Afghanistan,” saying the country “will once again become a safe haven for terrorism if we choose to abandon our investment” there.

“As General Campbell testified before the Senate, our Afghan allies are now ‘operationally emergent.’

We cannot now withdraw from our footprint in the country, at places like Bagram’s Air Force Base, and leave a vacuum for the reemerging Taliban to fill,” Wenstrup said. “We must learn the lessons of Iraq

Ripley officer wins ‘First Responder’ award

Martha B. Jacob/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Ripley Village Mayor Tom Leonard (l) presents a plaque of appreciation to Ripley Police Officer Joel Barnett for his nomination and winning of the 2015 Brown County ‘First Responder’ of the year.

Village of Ripley regarding discolored drinking water.

“For the last two cycles of bills, we’ve asked people to send us a note when their water was discolored or had an odor,” Renshaw said, “It seems like we get the most reports on Thursday mornings because they back-wash the filters at midnight on Wednesday nights. That stirs up the water in the pipes.”

Renshaw said that he is eventually going to have to flush all water lines at the same time. Later in the meeting council gave Renshaw the go-ahead on arranging a village-wide flush.

The USDA Revolving Loan Program is moving along well in the village, according to Renshaw and an-

other business will be approved for help in the next few weeks. Two loans have already been approved.

‘Trick or Treat’ night for the village was set for Saturday, Oct. 31 between 5:30 and 7 p.m.

“Two wells need to be drilled down by the high school by the ballfield diamonds,” Renshaw said, “The project has gone for bid, and the original cost was appraised by the engineers was about $119,000, with no contingency. We’ve received bids and I’d like to recommend a bid from Moody’s of Dayton, for $110,500 which is below the projected cost.

They have worked for us before.”

Ripley Village Mayor Tom Leonard presented a plaque of recognition to Ripley Police Officer Joel Barnett, for being nominated for the 2015 Brown County ‘First Responder of the Year’ award. Then, Leonard proudly announced that Officer Barnett was the actual winner of the award.

Officer Barnett received a round of applause from the mayor and members of Ripley Village Council during its Oct. 13 meeting.

“We’re real proud of this guy,” Mayor Leonard said as he shook Barnett’s hand. “He won this award in Brown County, and we will be presenting him another plaque later on. Five were nominated, but Officer Barnett won. Good job Joe.” Mayor Leonard also recognized Rachel Triplett, acting solicitor for the Village of Ripley, who will be sitting in for solicitor Tom Mayes who is currently serving in the military until February, 2016.

During village administrator Pete Renshaw’s report to council, he first asked council to approve and confirm the hiring of village utilities clerk Teresa Stauder, who’s probation period had ended. Council approved the hiring, commenting that Stauder was doing a great job.

Renshaw also discussed the continuing problem in the

bid from Moody’s of Dayton and work will begin in a few weeks.

Renshaw briefly discussed at least nine trees in the village that should be taken down. However, Councilman Charles Poole said he wanted to make absolutely sure they had to come down before any action was taken.

The administrator said that work was currently being done on Easton Alley which started this week which should be completed in about three months.

He told council that the village has one surplus truck and an old street sweeper that he would like permission to get rid of. He also said that Ripley was not qualified to receive any re-imbursement for flood damage.

Mayor Leonard told council that a special meeting would be held beginning at 7 p.m. (following the council meeting) on Tuesday, Oct. 27, to discuss damages from the flood. The meeting is open to the public.

Renshaw said that the proposed pavillion to be built at the high school would have to be bid out again because there were no bidders so after going back to the architect, there were still no bidders.

Recommendations were made by council to see if Southern Hills could submit a bid, but were told by Poole that they were booked up for at least a year.

2nd public hearing set to discuss G’town zoning ordinance

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press A new zoning ordinance in Georgetown is getting closer to reality.

Following an initial public hearing, the ordinance was placed back into committee for changes and improvements.

“We have come to the conclusion now that this zoning ordinance is ready for its final review by council,” council member Kelly Cornette said at the October 8 council meeting. “I will provide everyone here with a copy of the updated ordinance so you can all read it before our next council meeting. We will still have another public meeting on the ordinance and we will discuss what comes out of that meeting before we vote on and sign this ordinance.”

In other business, Georgetown Village Administrator Art Owens reported to council that he was advised by Duke Energy that they would be doing repairs in the business district next Spring which would require them to shut off electricity to the village for a period of three days.

“If anyone hears anything about this, I just want you to know that it’s been taken care of,” Owens said, “In the meantime we will be coming up with an alternative method of power distribution that will keep us from being without power when those repairs are made.”

Owens also reported that he is working on obtaining the cheapest liability insurance coverage for the village as well as health insurance.

He said that the new salt barn for the building was pro-

gressing and should be complete within the next two weeks.

Georgetown Chief of Police Rob Freeland gave his monthly report to the board.

He said that since his last report his department had received 654 calls for service, 25 incident reports, 8 crash reports with 27 charges filed with county court.

Freeland briefly discussed the drug task force movements recently which ended in 16 arrests and 36 indictments.

Officers from Georgetown, Mt. Orab and the sheriff’s department took part.

“Overall Sept. 28 was very successful and arrests were made without any major incidents,” Freeland said, “Numerous guns, drugs, vehicles and other drug related assets were confiscated through the day. I

Sardinia receives one bid on reservoir

CMYK

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The last action taken by members of the Sardinia Village Council meeting held Oct. 12, was to take no action at all, after opening a single sealed bid, for the purchase of the village owned reservoir.

The reservoir has been on the market for about a year.

Interested buyers had to have sealed bids in by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9.

A bid of $25,500 from James Barnett was opened during the meeting which is well below the minimum asking price of $50,000.

Council took no action.

In the absence of Sardinia Mayor Todd Bumbalough, village administrator Tim Mock led the majority of the meeting. He reported to council that he had received $500 from Mike DeWine (Ohio Attorney General) from an $11.5 million antitrust settlement with Morton Salt Inc. and Cargill Inc. As many as 850 public entities from Ohio applied for funds from the settlement including the Village of Sardinia.

“Any public entity from Ohio who purchased salt from either Morton or Cargill between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2011 were eligible,” said Karen Miller, fiscal officer. “I did all the paperwork and had until August 21, 2015 to file it. So we are pleased to get this $500, which will be used to purchase more salt.”

Fire Chief Chris Shumacher reported to council that his department went on 10 runs in September and he had one truck down with a bad water pump and pump

testing would be held next week for his department.

Mock told council that a water leak in the village on Cherry Street was finally located and repaired, after searching for the leak for a long time. He said he was pleased to finally found it.

Council voted to set Saturday, Oct. 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. as ‘Trick-or-Treat’ night in the village.

Police Officer Ed Spitznagel reported to council that 30 court dates were scheduled and four reports were taken. He said the recent ‘Cruise-In’ sponsored by the Sardinia Historical Society was a success.

Council scheduled a finance committee meeting for Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 3:00 p.m.

was happy to see all of the agencies working together as one unit and I thank all of the officers that came out to assist.”

Freeland also reported that a seven year old girl who was walking with a float during the fair parade sustained injuries to her ankle and foot after a wagon wheel rolled onto her foot.

He also told council that his department had received another anonymous donation towards the purchase of a new body camera for an officer.

Councilwoman Susan Bean, passed out copies of the 2015 Brown County Tourism Guide which she had been involved in getting published by Brown County Ohio Tourism, Inc. She announced that the publication would come out every six months, which would show all the good things that go on in Brown County, that makes it a great place to visit.

Elbow Pain: Causes and Treatment Options Dr. Lydia Ogden Epicondylitis is more commonly known as Golfer's elbow or Tennis elbow. In both cases, the epicondyle and attachment point of the muscles in the forearm becomes inflamed and painful. Golfer's elbow or medial epicondylitis is located on the inside of the Dr. Lydia Ogden elbow and is the attachment point of the wrist flexors. The wrist is a Chiropractic flexors are responsible for the curling motion of the wrist. Lateral Physician and epicondylitis or Tennis elbow is on the outside of the elbow and is the owner of is the attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles.

Active Living Epicondylitis is a repetitive stress type injury. In either case Chiropractic the wrist extensors or wrist flexors become strained from not located only sports such as golf and tennis but also daily activities such in Mt. Orab, OH. as typing, lifting objects, or anything that requires twisting your wrist such as using a screwdriver. Any movement that requires your wrist to move up and down repeatedly can cause overuse and strain in the wrist extensors and/or wrist flexors. Once the muscles are strained, the body will try and support the area by laying down scar tissue. This will create a repetitive strain injury cycle and can lead to epicondylitis.

When the symptoms last longer than 72 hours then typically further treatment is needed. An evaluation to determine the exact cause of your elbow pain should be performed in order to make an accurate diagnosis.

Active Release Technique is a very effective and conservative treatment method.

This technique is very successful at diagnosing and treating muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia. ART locates and treats scar tissue adhesions and breaks them up.

This typically restores normal tissue tension, flexibility, and improves circulation.

Reducing scar tissue also makes the tissue stronger and more resilient to further trauma.

Chiropractic manipulation is the most effective treatment available to correct areas of spinal and extremity joint stiffness and restriction. The chiropractic adjustment is gently applied by hand and stimulates pain blocking nerves, restores normal joint movement, reduces muscle spasm and tightness and increases blood flow to reduce inflammation. Physical rehabilitation and exercise are necessary to correct areas of muscle tightness and weakness. Lastly, proper diet and supplementation is the key to addressing chronic inflammation.

“NO CONFIDENCE” PART II

Today I want to expound a little more about having no confidence in our own flesh.

Last week I was in Philippians 3 but today I want to look at Galatians 2:20. The Apostle Paul said: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” It is not that he quit living in the flesh.

He still had his body, but the life he was now living in the flesh, in that body, he was living it by faith in Christ, not by his own works which he had accomplished. He goes on to say: “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” If you could do enough things in the flesh to be saved, then Christ had no need to die on the cross.

Paul was not going to frustrate the grace of God by claiming self-righteousness through all of his religious accomplishments. He asked the Galatians in verse 1 of chapter 3: “...who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” You see, the same things were happening to the Galatians as it was to the Christians at Philippi. There were people coming in and telling them that they had to do certain things to be saved. But the Bible tells us that there is not one thing you have to do to be saved except accepting Christ, because He did it all! When Christ died on the cross, shed His blood, and arose again the third day, He did all the work. You and I do not have to do any work in order to be saved. Paul asked the Galatians: who confused you? In verse 2 he said: “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” He was asking them: when you got saved and the Spirit of God came in you, did that happen by works of the law (the flesh) or did it happen by the hearing of the faith? (Of course the answer is that you get saved by hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and believing it.) He asked another question in verse 3: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” He was saying that if they began in the Spirit

why were they reverting back to the flesh. He: said: you started out right, you got saved by simply trusting in Christ as your Saviour, plus nothing minus nothing, and now you believe that you have to do all of these other things. They were mixing the flesh with the Spirit. He said: it don’t make sense; you believed that you got saved by faith, why don’t you live by faith? When we serve God we can not serve Him in the power of our flesh.

We must serve Him in the power of the Spirit. The Bible tells us that the just shall live by faith. Why do you think that the Lord would take all of this time to tell us that we should take no confidence in the flesh?

It is because the flesh is very, very weak. You need the power of the Holy Spirit to give you the energy to continue to serve God. Our flesh has a pride problem and it is very lustful.

Because the flesh is weak, because it gets tired, and because it is lustful (it wants things), we can not trust it, not in our service to Him nor for our salvation. One of the things our flesh wants is recognition.

Our flesh wants to say: I did it!

Galatians 6:14 states: “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ...”. You should read it.

When Paul listed all those things in Philippians that he had done before he was saved, he was saying that he could have said: I earned to go to heaven because of all the things I’ve done. However, when you get saved you need to say: I am going to go to heaven, not because of what I have done, but because of what He did. You see, then God gets the glory and your flesh doesn’t. It doesn’t like that. But, it wasn’t you or I that got nailed to the cross. It was Christ and He deserves all the glory for saving your soul!

Mark Garbett Jr. was born on Sunday April 25, 1976 and he was called home to Heaven on Monday October 12, 2015.

He was preceded in death by his Grandma Miss Ellie, his grandfather Buggs, and his grandfather Henry. He leaves behind his mother Debbie Garbett, father Mark Garbett Sr., sister Mary Lucille, brother-in-law Chris, grandmother Marilyn Daley, his aunts and uncles: Mary & Homer, Sharon & Butch, Dottie & Raymond, Liz, Bea, Dean, Tim, and Gary; as well as many cousins, and friends.

Mark was a loving son, brother, and grandson and touched the lives of everyone that was lucky enough to know him. His family fondly remembers his great wit and his sheer knowledge of what seemed to be everything. His big loves were comics, wrestling, sports, and The Lord. He was the pastor and cofounder of the New Hope Community Chapel where he was deeply loved by all his congregation. He was able to explain the scripture in ways that no one else could. He always knew how to tell The Story in such a way that would draw you in and captivate you. His congregation and family were not the only ones whom he influenced.

He was also a passionate teacher that changed the lives of each student that entered his classroom. He taught them the values of standing firm on what you believe in and not backing down. He loved learning and wanted to spread that love on to his students. Most of his students recall all the amazing pictures he drew of comics, cartoons, and even of students themselves.

He'd use them as rewards for his students at Sylvan and it would always put a smile on their face.

He had friends everywhere he went; from his Trekkie buds in the Starfleet Officer's club, to his comic book geeks as the Captain America buff, to his hockey pals of The Stevenson Stunner Club, and to his wrestling friends as "The Kool-Aid Man. He was the brightest light in the room. Everyone knew as he always said he was "kind of a big deal", but truly he was the biggest deal. He truly was a Renaissance Man if there ever was one. He could preach a sermon that would shake your faith, draw a comic that would leave you in awe, answer questions that you were sure only an Encyclopedia could tell you, or just tell a joke that would make you laugh until you cried.

It's hard to put into words what it means to lose someone who meant the world to so many, as he was one of a kind. He is dearly missed by all of those who had the honor to call him family or friend. He left this world hearing the benediction from Genesis 31:49 that he ended all his famous sermons with, "May The Lord watch between me and thee while we're absent one from another."

We miss you, but we know this is not the end. We know in Heaven you will be waiting and we will see you again. His visitation was held on Wednesday October 14, 2015 at the Beam- Fender funeral Home in Sardinia, OH. The funeral was Thursday October 15, 2015 at the New Hope Community Chapel officiated

by Jack Morehart.

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press The Village of Aberdeen currently has two seats open on its village council. Three candidates are hoping to fill that seat, including Wanda Perraut, Tony Combess and Billie J. Eitel.

The candidates were sent questionnaires from the Brown County Press. The following information was provided by the candidates.

Billie J. Eitel Billie Eitel has served on Aberdeen Village Council since 2009 and made the decision to run again, just before the deadline. She is currently retired.

“I had actually planned to retire from public service,” Eitel said, “however, since no one had committed to run for

the two available council seats, I decided to enter the race. I feel my experience as council member and past mayor will benefit the present council.

“I’ve lived in the Village of Aberdeen and Huntington Township the majority of my life. I believe that my past experience and dedication to this village brings a lot to the table.”

Eitel said she feels council needs to concentrate on cleaning up the village. “There are several vacant businesses that need attention as well, as well as some businesses that are becoming eyesores,” she said.

“All property owners should have more pride in maintaining their property.”

She continued, “I believe we have progressed tremendously in the last couple of years. We have a dedicated

mayor and a council that has worked together without conflict. Mayor Jason Phillips does not have an opponent in this election; therefore I believe the progress will continue under his leadership.”

Eitel said she feels that one of the most pressing issues for Aberdeen continues to be the on-going drug abuse. She said that it is very disheartening to realize the amount of heroin addiction that exits in the village as well as Brown County.

“Under the leadership of Mayor Phillips, Chief Swayne and Sergeant Miller,” she said, “we are building a police department that is dedicated and caring. They have been selective and recruited top notch officers. Hopefully through their dedication, the village can be effective in reducing the trafficking and

drug abuse.”

Eitel added, “I have dedicated the majority of the last 20 years serving the village. I feel my experience as past Mayor and my time serving on council distinguishes me from other candidates. If elected, I will continue to serve the citizens and make decisions that are best for the community. I consider it a privilege to serve the residents of Aberdeen. I would appreciate your support and vote this November.”

Wanda Perraut Ms. Perraut did not return the questionnaire sent to her from the Brown County Press.

Tony Combess Tony Combess did not return the questionnaire provided by the Brown County Press.

Four compete for Eastern BOE seats

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Voters living in the Eastern Local School District will have to choose from four candidates to fill 3 seats on its board of education. Candidates include Lowell Richey, Martin Yockey, Kenneth Kelch and Vernon Creighton.

Current board member Deborah Forsythe has an unexpired seat which runs until Dec. 31, 2017.

Each of the candidates were sent a questionnaire from the Brown County Press regarding their qualifications for the seat. The following information was taken from that questionnaire.

Vernon Creighton When Vernon Creighton, candidate for Eastern Local School Board, retired from teaching he decided he wanted to become a board member so that he could continue helping the youth.

“I wanted to see that our students at Eastern Local are given the best education and opportunities that the tax payers can afford,” Creighton said, “I’ve run for school board in the past and have eight years experience. Although I am not an Eastern graduate myself, all my children graduated from Eastern High School and I have grandchildren enrolled at Eastern.”

Creighton said he brings over 35 years of experience as a teacher and administrator to the table as well as working with administrators to revise fundraising for Ohio Schools.

“I’m pleased with where Eastern Local ranks with the other Brown County schools,” Creighton said, “but we can’t sit back and be content with where we are, we must continually strive for more.”

Creighton was asked what improvements or additions he would like to see in Eastern School District.

“Well, I’d like to see better communication and more emphasis placed on Eastern standards and values and more credit given to our excellent teachers,” Creighton said.

Anyone who has known Jason Cooper for any length of time at all can strongly testify to his God given ability to communicate the lyric with power and conviction. His effortless delivery makes him a fan favorite everywhere, leaving audiences feeling uplifted and challenged. From a very young age Jason has had gospel music as a mainstay in his life listening to artists that range from Tony Gore to The Perrys and even Gold City. These artists have helped craft the voice that Jason has become known for.

But make no mistake, Jason Cooper is first and foremost a family man, dedicated to his lovely wife April, they make their home in the great state of Ohio where Jason was born and raised. Touring about one hundred dates a year, Jason stays busy playing fairs, festivals, concerts, and conferences. His love for studio work keeps him busy honing in on his craft and it allows him to just keep getting better.

Now with radio taking a liking to him, the sky is the limit as to how far his voice will reach. Jason Cooper is a name that you'll want to remember for a long time to come, for the voice that this artist has been blessed with is without a doubt a true GIFT from God.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, October 18, 2015 - Page 9

WB sued for allowing racial harassment developed a resolution agreement, which the school district adopted.

In a Sept. 24 letter addressed to an attorney for the school district, Director Meena Chandra of the OCR office wrote that “OCR has determined that a racially hostile environment existed at the high school, that the district had actual notice of the racially hostile environment, and that the district failed to adequately respond to the racially hostile environment.”

The letter refers to the report generated by Raybold for the Western Brown Board of Education which stated “Nearly every student (interviewed) remembered hearing other students use the N-word, and reported hearing it on a

daily basis. Specifically, students reported: white students making jokes using the phrase ‘it’s because I’m black, isn’t it;’, students making comments based on race such as saying African Americans are ‘better athletes’ and that Asian students are ‘smart, good at math and have small eyes’, generally hearing racially-motivated and demeaning language...students calling Hispanic students ‘illegal,’ ‘wet back,’ ‘fence jumper,’ ‘dirty Mexican,’ ‘fence hopper,’ and ‘illegal alien.’...hearing jokes about race; students saying ‘n****rs don’t belong here;’ calling African American students ‘porch monkey,’ (and) ‘hearing students calling white students ‘cracker.”

Regarding the resolution agreement, Chandra wrote

that “The agreement requires the district to revise its harassment policies and procedures; train employees and students; implement a student facilitation program through which the district will work with students to identify racial issues and biases in the high school and address them; and conduct, and respond as appropriate to the results of, racial climate assessments at the high school.”

The district must submit a report on progress toward these goals to the ESC office

by October 30.

In a statement from his attorneys in the federal lawsuit, Dale Fulton commented on the resolution agreement.

“We consider it a big win that the Office of Civil Rights recognized the pure lack of ed-

ucation surrounding the racial hostility at Western Brown High School and is forcing the district to make a change.

Maybe other kids won’t have to go through what our son went through,” Fulton said.

The Western Brown School District released the following statement on the matter to The Brown County Press on October 14.

“On September 22, 2015, a Resolution Agreement was entered into with the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (“OCR) and the Western Brown Local School District Board of Education which was the result of a complaint alleging a racially hostile environment with the Western Brown High School.

As there is ongoing litigation involving this matter, the

Board of Education will not comment on this matter beyond the following remarks: Prior to the complaint filed with the OCR, the Board of Education requested an investigation from an unbiased third party based on a complaint. This investigation involved many student interviews and resulted in the conclusion that the Board of Education acted appropriately and promptly in addressing situations that were brought to its attention and substantiated.

However, in its investigation OCR decided to adopt the details of the third-party report, but not the conclusions of that third party. In an effort to resolve the matter with OCR even though the Board of Education disagreed, and continues to disagree, with its

conclusions, the Board of Education entered into the Resolution Agreement. By signing the Resolution Agreement the Board of Education did not admit to any violations of federal, state or local law. Outside parties have incorrectly presumed that by signing this Resolution Agreement, the Board of Education was admitting to wrongdoing.

Finally, the Board of Education believes this Resolution Agreement is another avenue to memorialize a commitment to the Board of Education’s pedagogical mission: to educate Western Brown students and staff so that they are engaged in a quality curriculum and educational environment that will prepare and equip them for the life beyond Western Brown Schools.”

Dallas Hurt resigns as Coroner warned again to BC Democrat chairman stop Goldson death probe CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The employment of Jones was a source of conflict within the Brown County Board of Election beginning last December.

Jones retired in November of 2014 and democrat Board Of Elections members Ralph Quallen and Jo Ann Kattine wanted to rehire her as director.

Republicans Mariah Votel and Bill Herdman resisted the idea and the matter was eventually referred to Secretary of State jon Husted after a series of tied votes.

Husted ordered that Jones be hired as director on January 9.

Jones resigned on August 5, citing “personality conflicts, personal reasons and the continuing unprofessional actions that continue in the office.”

At a Sept. 11 meeting of the Board of Elections, Hurt nominated Jones as director again at the request of members of the Brown County Democrat Central Committee.

Following his nomination, Hurt voted against hiring Jones and the motion failed.

After the meeting, Hurt explained his reasoning for the vote in a Sept. 17 e-mail

to the Brown County Press.

“Kathy Jones has been hired twice in four and a half years as Director of the Brown County Board of Elections,” Hurt wrote.

“She resigned for the second time on August 5, 2015 with notice to the two Democrats on the Board dated August 2, 2015.

There is a very small, vocal and active group of friends of Kathy Jones who have attended the last two Democrat Central Committee meetings and the August Democrat Club Meeting seeking to pressure the Board of Elections Members into re-hiring Kathy Jones as Director.”

In his October 14 e-mail, Hurt goes into further detail of the circumstances that led up to his decision to resign.

“Even though there has not been much dissension on the Central Committee for several years, it has not been operating at full strength since the Spring election of 2008. This current dispute over the County's investigation of Kathy Jones' request of approximately $25,700 in fringe benefits payout from four years service, the Commissioners' finding it was not all legitimate and her attempt

to be rehired for the third time after resigning August 5, has split the Committee and the Party.

As Chair I lost the support of a majority of the Committee persons left remaining after several resignations during the last year alone.

At recent meetings of the Committee I have been asked to use my seat on the Board of Elections to tie the votes up; use the position to "throw everything into the lap of the Secretary of State, in order to prove that an election can not be put on without Director Kathy Jones". I don't believe that is true and I resist being pushed like that.

The majority of the current Committee has boycotted our County Fair Booth and our Annual Fall Dinner this Month. Others have just gone to the sidelines to avoid the negative image being broadcast. None of this serves our membership nor the public well. I'm tired of trying to breathe life into it. It is time to let someone else try.”

That “someone else” is Ken McNeely of Sterling Township.

McNeely recently ran against State Representative Doug Green for the District 66 seat.

Floats already under construction for Mt. Orab Christmas parade CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 so will all nine of his reindeer and so will Woody and Buzz from Toy Story.”

Lunsford added, “Because the parade takes place at night, every float is decorated in beautiful Christmas lights of every color. And we always have three or four local bands that perform that really bring the parade to life.”

Lunsford said the committee has been working on the floats for several weeks already and they are going fast.

This year’s parade will organize at the Western Brown High School rear parking lot, leave at 6 p.m. traveling east off Campus Way and proceed to the center of the Village, turn south onto South High

“All of the questions you have asked death with the death of Mr. Goldson,” Zuk said.

“They are directly contrary to what Judge Gusweiler put in his order. One action, one action only, is the only thing that she may do. Not asking for photographs taken by Deputy Dunning in the investigation of Mr. Goldson’s death, not logs and documentations of the Brown County Jail concerning Mr. Goldson’s death, not a copy of the suicide watch log. All of those things that you have asked for are directly contrary to the court’s order. This may be the easiest decision I’ve ever had to make. The protective order is going to be granted. They don’t have to answer these questions. And I would suggest to you, Mr. Eagle, that you let your clients know that if they do not abide by this order, she can find herself in contempt.

And Judge Gusweiler may just consider some sanctions against the coroner and maybe even against you.

Nothing means nothing. You cannot do this.”

Plaintiffs attorney Anthony Holman said that the request for information from his clients came on August 24th of this year. That is five months after Gusweiler’s order.

A temporary restraining order preventing Varnau from investigating further remains in effect, with a trial to decide the question set for Novem-

ber of next year.

Eagle raised the point that to properly prepare for that trial, he needed to be able to engage in evidence discovery.

Holman disagreed, telling Zuk, “The scope of discovery here is limited to what is the coroner’s authority under the law to investigate a death...The heart of this case has nothing to do with the circumstances surrounding Zachary Goldson’s death.

The scope of this case entirely consists of what is the coroner’s authority at this date and time to use her office to investigate his death.

There is no such authority.

The court has already said there is no such authority.”

Eagle responded by saying, “For me to convince the court at a trial of the merits that it was not an abuse of discretion or there was some other justification for the coroner to continue to exercise her statutory authorities to investigate a death, there has to be a reason for her to do that. There has to be a reason to ask the questions a coroner would ask. Every one of those things goes to a factual basis for asking the question ‘what happened?’, which is what a coroner is supposed to ask.”

All motions in the case are due in May of 2016, with the trial set for November of that year.

Judy Brooks Lifetime resident of Ripley, Judy Brooks, has always loved being an active part of her community. She is now a candidate for Ripley Council.

“I believe that my service and prior experience on council will be a big asset,” Brooks said. “Before my recent retirement, I owned a successful beauty salon in Ripley for 22 years.

“I decided I wanted to run for council in late July after being approached by several citizens asking me to run again. I don’t really have a specific reason I wish to serve on council, I would just like to help resolve some of my community’s issues and be involved.”

Brooks served on council from 2004 through 2011 and is anxious to serve her village again.

“Issue’s I’m concerned about include our water system, which definitely needs some extra attention,” Brooks said. “Even with our new treatment plant, citizens of Ripley are still having problems. Also, the many abandoned and condemned buildings throughout our town has been an ongoing issue that I would very much like to address if I’m elected back to council.”

Judy Brooks

Brooks said that the most pressing issue within the Village of Ripley, in her opinion, as it is everywhere else, is the drug problem. “I would like to see the town get a canine unit back, as well as crack down on many local dealers and users.”

She concluded, “My eight years previous council experience and my 22 years of business ownership, along with many experiences through these two things gives me an advantage over the other candidates. I understand the duties performed by council and what issues are important to our residents.”

Kathy Lewis Kathy Lewis decided that she wanted to become a member of Ripley Village Council earlier this year the first of July. She says she would like to try and make a difference with the help of the other council members.

“I would like the opportunity to try and build our town back up,” Lewis said, “I would like to bring some more businesses into our village which would help create more jobs.

“I ran for council once before during the last election, as a write-in candidate. I have lived in this great village nearly my entire life.”

Lewis said she would de-

Linda South

scribe herself as a very hard worker for the people of Ripley and would listen to all their concerns, as a council member. “I would do the best of my ability to handle resident’s concerns professionally and proficiently.

“I am a lieutenant for the Ripley Life Squad,” she said, “and have been on the squad for eight years. I am also an independent consultant in direct sales. I am very interested in getting new businesses into our village.”

She said she would like to see some of the empty buildings fixed up to make them more appealing to attract new businesses into them. She said she is also very concerned about the drug problem and crime that is facing the village.

“I have worked in the public for many years,” she said, “I am focused on trying to improve our town with the help of council. We need to work together as a team if we want to accomplish anything.

I am also focused on supporting our fire department, giving our volunteers the latest technology to keep them safe.

I would also like to see more support for our police department who also needs the latest in technology to keep them safe, in return, they will keep us save.”

Tiffany Regenstein Tiffany Regenstein is one of five candidates running for Ripley Village Council. A six year resident of Ripley, Regenstein works for the Clermont County Board of DD where she is a service coordinator for ‘Help Me Grow’.

“My husband Ryan is a member of the Ripley Volunteer Fire Department,” Regenstein said. “Ripley is where we wanted to raise our family. Early this spring, I decided I wanted to have more to say about what goes on in my community. I felt I could make a positive difference if I served on council. I have always been community minded.”

She continued, “My father served as a Brown County Commissioner until his sudden death in 2012. He was my inspiration and I realized that I wanted to follow in his footsteps and make a difference.”

Regenstein said that she has a lot of ideas on how to make Ripley a better place, including building a community center to be used for parties, business meetings, wedding receptions, a teen hang out and include a game room, etc.

She said she would also like to see improvements made to sidewalks which are more accessible for wheel-

Linda South Linda South, current Ripley Council member, made the decision to run again for a council seat in late July. She said she didn’t have any specific reason for wanting to stay on council, only that she enjoys the many things that go into the operation of the village.

Three candidates vie for Pike Township Trustee seat

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Pike Township voters will have to choose from three candidates running for township trustee. Those candidates include Mike Ober, Michael Foster and Harmon Sizemore IV. These candidates were sent questionnaires from the Brown County Press regarding their qualifications. The following information comes from those questionnaires.

Harmon Sizemore IV Pike Township Trustee candidate Harmon Sizemore IV is hoping voters will seat him as their next trustee.

“My qualifications for this job include my management style and leadership skills,” Sizemore stated on a questionnaire. “I understand the importance of effective decision making and addressing opportunities and challenges.

I have been directly involved with Pike Township through the development of its website. My educational qualifications include a bachelor degree from Franklin University in Management Information Systems and I am a graduate of Western Brown High School.”

Sizemore said he has also

the integrity of the infrastructure, cemeteries and fire protection.

“As a trustee, I want to continue to maintain the integrity of the family farm and farming community, along with promote the development of strategic planning for economic development to create a cooperative for possible business development.”

Sizemore said he would take his responsibilities seriously and would work hard for the residents in Pike Township.

“Pike Township is the neighboring township to one of the fastest growing villages in our county,” Sizemore said, “I am dedicated to promoting and preserving the local township government and will publish my cell phone number to make myself accessible to my friends and neighbors.

I understand the importance of effective communication and working with citizens in my township. I am asking for your support. Please vote on November 3.”

“I have been a volunteer with the ‘Kids Club’ and ‘Summer Wrestling Club’ for more than 10 years,” Sizemore added.

Sizemore describes himself as being civic minded and decided it was time to get in-

“I’ve enjoyed my time as a councilwoman. I opened my own business here in Ripley in 1990 and moved to Ripley in 1994 and have never regretted it.

“During my years serving on council I have dealt with many important issues that concern our village. I also bring 25 years of business experience to the table which has proven helpful with the operation of the village.”

South is the owner of Ripley Florist, located on Main Street in the Village of Ripley.

She said she wants to find ways that the village could do even more to help get small businesses into the village.

“Council has been working with the USDA Loan Program, but I would like to find other things that we can do,” South said. “We need a grocery store in our community and I want to work hard to have one that will locate within the village. It is hard for a lot of people to get to the grocery. The convenience of a local store and especially for those who do not drive, is extremely important.”

South added that drug abuse and all the issues that are associated with it is a huge problem in the Ripley area as well as the entire county.

“We all need to be supporting law enforcement and the Drug Task Force to get this drug issue under control and hopefully someday end it,” she said.

South said she feels that her 25 years of business experience, four years as a council member as well as being part of many local groups in Ripley sets her apart from other candidates and she looks forward to serving her community another four years.

“I did not enter this campaign with a hidden agenda,” he said. “My race is not a race against the current trustee or their predecessors. I believe that as with every business model, there should be periodic review and from that review address areas of weakness and needed improvements.”

Michael Foster Michael Foster has served as zoning inspector and cemetery manager for the past four years and has two business degrees from the University

of Cincinnati and is a candidate for Pike Township Trustee.

“As zoning inspector I attend meetings, hearings and work directly with the trustees and fiscal officer to provide services to the citizens of Pike Township,” Foster said. “With my current employment with Pike Township, I am available 24/7. As trustee, I plan to continue to make myself available to satisfy the needs of the township and community. I decided to run this seat after trustee Steve Royalty announced he would not run in the upcoming election.”

Foster said that when there are things that need attention in Pike Township they are quickly resolved and there are procedures in place for citizens to file and request changes such as zoning issues, complaints and monthly meetings that citizens can attend to voice their concerns to the trustees.

“My experience as zoning inspector and cemetery manager have also allowed me to work closely with Brown County offices like the engineers, tax map, auditor, recorder, treasurer, building department, prosecutor, board of health, litter control and Solid Waste Authority,” Fos-

and

ter said. “As a trustee of Pike Township I would seek federal and state grants to offset tax increases to improve infrastructure. We have a history of trustees that work hard to protect and preserve our township, and if I am elected I would do the same. We have a growing population, and with that, so are the needs and demands. I feel very confident in fulfilling the role as trustee.

I will go above and beyond the call of duty.”

Foster said he would like to see improvements on the township website and communication. He said he would take the lead to ensure the township is keeping up with the changes in technology that will enable the trustees to do a better job communicating with the citizens.

“I bring experience, dedication and honesty to the table,” Foster added, “I enjoy working for the citizens of Pike Township and I would appreciate the votes for election as Trustee of Pike Township.”

Mike Ober Mr. Ober did not return his questionnaire to the Brown County Press but is also a candidate for Pike Township Trustee.

The Village of Ripley voters will have five candidates to choose from for two available seats, when they go to the polls on Nov. 3. Those candidates include Linda South, Tiffany Regenstein, Judy Brooks, William Taylor III and Kathy Lewis.

Each of the candidates was sent a questionnaire from the Brown County Press allowing each to tell the voters their qualifications.

The following information was taken from those returned questionnaires.

chairs and strollers and she would like for the village to have a ‘Welcome Center.’

“I would love for our beautiful village to have a flyer/brochure on everything our village offers,” Regenstein said. “Another issue I would address is the brown water in our village. Hydrant and water lines need to be flushed more often to get rid of this problem. I know the village is now seriously addressing this problem, and I would like to follow it through, as a council member.”

She continued, “I would also like to see some changes made at the cemetery, allowing people to decorate their loved ones grave sites with, flowers, wreaths, and things like solar lights. A lot of people would like to see some of these changes.”

Regenstein said she would like to see more businesses including new restaurants come to Ripley, as well as a good local grocery store.

“I feel money is a pressing issue in Ripley,” she said.

“I’ve researched available grants, and they are out there, they just take a little time and effort.”

Regenstein says her assets for council member include being well organized, serious minded, she knows how to find answers to questions, and is a good listener. She added that Ripley’s younger generation should want to come back home to raise their families.

Rockets claim OVAL title with win at Manchester

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press In their first year of competing in the Ohio Valley Athletic League, the Fayetteville-Perry Rockets have clinched the league title.

The Rockets secured the first league crown in their varsity football program's history with a 44-30 league win on the road against the Manchester Greyhounds Oct. 9, making this year's FPHS team the first league champs since the varsity program began just over seven years ago.

“It's nice to be in a league for the first time and school history and clinch the league title. Again, it's just another accomplishment for these players who have worked hard for it,” said Fayetteville-Perry head football coach Kevin Finch.

The Rockets' win at Man-

chester didn't come easy, as the home-standing Hounds were desperate to bring home their second win of the season in front of their home crowd.

“I was glad with how we responded. We had some

things not go our way, and there were some difficult moments in the game,” Finch said following the win at Manchester. “There was a point in the third quarter where they had just scored and then recovered

an onside kick, and they had the lead at that point. But once again our kids' revealed their character and drew the line. From that point on they forced a turnover and our running game took over as it has for

the last few weeks, and we were able to get the game going the way we wanted it.”

The first Rocket drive of the night resulted in a turnover on downs with the Hounds coming out sturdy

on defense.

The Rocket defense then took the field, forcing a fumble that was recovered

Nedelman scores TD! Eastern Jr. High football team shows support for teammate battling brain cancer

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press

E V E N

Noah Nedelman is a member of the Eastern Junior High football team who loves the game of football. He shows up for practices and games as a dedicated member of the team just like other players on the team, but there is one difference that sets him apart from other members of the team. Nedelman is not allowed to participate in any sport that involves physical contact due to his fight against brain cancer, so while players on his team are on the gridiron to battle it out against opponents, Nedelman supports his teammates from the sidelines and serves as the team manager.

“Noah is one of those kids who has a desire to play football and loves the game,” said Bob Hare, an assistant coach of the Eastern Junior High football team. “He's not allowed to have any physical contact, but he shows up to

practices and games and helps the team out in any way he can by supporting and inspiring his teammates. He has served as an excellent team manager.”

Nedelman's love for the game of football and his commitment and support shown for his teammates, coaches, and fans has not gone unrecognized. On Saturday, Oct. 10 the Eastern Junior High squad took to the gridiron at Koehler's Field just outside of Russellville to face off against Middletown Christian in their final home game of the season, providing an excellent opportunity for the players to recognize Nedelman for his dedication and support. The first snap of the game would involve Nedelman running down the field for a touchdown.

Dressed in full uniform, Nedelman lined up in the backfield. Once the football hit his hands, he was off and running, and close behind him as he raced down the

field were several of his teammates, cheering him on as he headed to the end zone.

His speedy run to pay dirt was followed by a smile on his face that seemed to stretch from ear to ear, and for that moment he was able to show the coaches, players, and all of the fans in attendance his exceptional skills as a football player.

“We're interested in making good football players out of these kids, but we're more interested in making them good people,” said Hare.

The Eastern Junior High squad, headed by coach Chris Tomlin, went on to win the game against Middletown Christian by a score of 22-8, putting them in a tie for first place in their league with only one loss.

Members of the coaching staff for the Eastern Junior High football team expressed their appreciation of Middletown Christian's coaches and players for their cooperation in Nedelman's touchdown run that took place just prior to the official start of the Oct. 10 league contest.

Lady Broncos battle Taylor in SW District Div. II Sectional

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press With the regular season coming to a close for the Western Brown High School varsity volleyball team, the Lady Broncos headed to Southwest District Division II Sectional Tournament play at Blanchester High School on Oct. 17.

A loss to New Richmond just before wrapping up their regular season against the Amelia Lady Barons put the Lady Broncos out of the running for this year's Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference American Division title after a league reign that

lasted nearly a decade.

The Lady Broncos hosted Amelia on Oct. 15 for their final league contest of the season, entering the match with a 13-8 overall record and a 6-3 league mark.

The Lady Broncos received the No. 5 seed for this year's sectional tourney, as they prepared to face off against No. 6 seed Taylor, who held a 12-9 overall record and a 9-4 league record going into their final game of the regular season.

Western Brown's Sugaree Shaffer held a season total of 257 kills going into the final regular season match against Batavia, while teammate MacKenzie

Brooks totaled 178 kills.

The Rockets were then backed by some lengthy runs by running backs Caleb Dowers, Wolfer, and Chase Jester as they marched inside the Manchester two yard line, where they topped off their offensive drive with a short touchdown run by senior quarterback Cole Schaefer to take a 6-0 lead.

After big stops by linebacker Luke Davis and other members of the Rocket defensive team, the Hounds punted on third down and long to end their second offensive drive of the night.

The Rockets rarely look to their passing game, but when they did the Hounds were ready. A “pick six” by Manchester's Brian Young would tie the game at six apiece with 4:36 to go in the first quarter.

The Rocket offense responded with Dowers taking a kickoff return to the Manchester 15 yard line.

From there the Rockets moved to the Manchester one yard line off carries by Wolfer and Dowers, where Dowers would top off the drive with a short touchdown run down the left side to give the Rockets a 12-6 lead.

A touchdown carry by Young followed by a successful two-point conversion attempt would give the Hounds a 14-12 lead near the end of the first quarter.

Just over four minutes into the second quarter, it was Fayetteville junior Chase Jester topping off a Rocket drive with a touchdown carry and then running in the two-point conversion attempt to give the Rockets a 20-14 lead.

The 20-14 Rocket lead held out until the third quarter, when the Hounds took a two-point lead.

The Rockets went on to outscore the Hounds 24-16 in the second half of play to secure the 14-point victory, wrapping up league play in flawless fashion this season with a 3-0 record.

Dowers led Rocket rushers with 22 carries for 166 yards and one touchdown.

Jester took 12 carries for a total of 122 rushing yards and one touchdown, while senior Timmy Crone took six carries for 100 yards and two touchdowns to aid the Rockets in the win at Manchester.

Despite their week seven win over Manchester, the Rockets dropped two spots to 12th place in Division

Householder goal lifts G-Men over Jays

CMYK

It was a goal by Georgetown junior Tanner Householder in the second half that lifted the Georgetown GMen to a 1-0 victory over the visiting Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Blue Jays in the non-league rivalry at Georgetown on Oct. 10.

It was a game where defense prevailed on both ends of the field for the majority of the time, with some gutsy saves coming from Ripley senior goalkeeper Michael Oberschlake and Georgetown sophomore Luke Gast.

The G-Men fired away at the goal in the second half with blazing shots coming from sophomore Logan Doss and freshman JT Householder, shots that weren't able to make their way through the hands of Oberschlake.

As play became heated between the two rival teams in the second half with the score knotted at zero, it was Tanner Householder chipping a shot just over the hands of Oberschlake to reach the back of the net, giving the G-Men a 1-0 lead with 15:51 to go in

the game.

From that point on, it was Georgetown's defense taking charge. With 12:20 to go, Gast dove on a ball to stifle a Ripley attack.

The G-Men were also aided by excellent defensive plays from sophomore Will Mootz, senior Ethan Alexander, freshman Emerson Cahall, and senior Jacob Moler as they clung tight to a narrow 1-0 lead.

The G-Men upped their overall record of 10-5-1 with the Oct. 10 win.

The G-Men rounded out their regular season third in Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference National Division play.

Georgetown head soccer coach Cory Cahall and his GMen received the No. 9 seed for this year's Southwest District Division III Sectional Tournament and will have home field advantage for the Oct. 20 sectional game against No. 10 seed Finneytown (4-10).

MOM’S APPLE DUMPLINGS Our apple trees are loaded with delicious apples. Along with making applesauce and dried apple slices, I like to make this easy dessert for family and friends.

1 cup melted butter 1-1/4 cups sugar 1-1/4 teaspoons cinnamon 2 cans, 10 oz each, crescent rolls, not low fat 2 large Granny Smith apples 12 oz. Mountain Dew, room temperature Preheat oven to 350. Mix butter, sugar and cinnamon and pour into a sprayed 9x13 pan. Core and peel apples. Cut each apple into 8 wedges. Separate crescent rolls along the perforated seams, wrap apple slice in crescent roll wedge, carefully covering the entire apple. Pinch openings to close securely. Put into pan on top of mixture. Pour the soda over the dumplings and bake 3540 minutes until golden. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

CMYK

COUNTRY KITCHEN WISDOM • Granny Smith are traditional pie apples, since they’re tart.

• Use whatever large apples you have, except for Red Delicious, which doesn’t bake up with much flavor.

CARAMEL APPLES At our house, we love caramel apples. I let the kids unwrap the caramels and wash and dry the apples. Here’s a classic recipe for dipping apples. And remember to roll in your favorite coating before caramel has set. This is fun for the upcoming Halloween parties. Have apples ready to dip with sticks inserted and let guests dip and coat their own apple.

Apples Sucker sticks 1 bag, 14 oz., vanilla caramels, unwrapped 2 tablespoons whipping cream Melt caramels and cream together over low heat. Meanwhile insert sticks into the top of the apple, inserting them securely.

Have a tray lined with sprayed foil to put the dipped apples on.

Dip apples about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up by rotating apples into caramel. Remove excess by scraping bottom of apple on edge of pan carefully so excess caramel drips back into pan. Roll in coating and set on sprayed foil to dry.

COUNTRY KITCHEN WISDOM  Use your favorite eating apple for dipping. Smaller apples are easier to eat.  Try these coatings: crushed mixed salt nuts, jimmies, mini M&M’s, coconut, chocolate shavings, crushed candy bars.  To wash a caramel coated pan, let it sit in very hot water before washing. Caramel will melt off.

velop a focused plan to improve them, accomplish them and as a result other areas suffer and decrease. This becomes a vicious cycle of failure. Teachers, administrators, community and students alike become frustrated and confused. School begins to take on a new life-form that inhibits student creativity and growth.

The greatest preparation I have for responding to this type of situation is growing up in a home with two educators.

I recall conversations they had over the years talking about all of the “new” things coming down the pike. By listening, I learned that in this great profession many things come and go as leadership in Washington and Columbus changes.

Some changes have forced schools to become better places for learning and others have led to a decline in the quality of service our kids and communities receive. This is a direct result of political agendas and not focusing on the needs of our students and their future. Thank goodness my parents grounded me with the premise to always do right by the people you serve. As the leader of The Georgetown Exempted Village schools, I feel obligated to detangle the polit-

ical lines and bring clarity and accountability to Georgetown on behalf of the community and our future generations.

Will society look back 10 years from now and say, “Wow, we sure are better off now because we tested kids to death and gave schools low letter grades for not hitting all 50 indicators? I think not! I believe society would be better served by arming our youth with the tools and skills necessary to survive the grind of the real world. Teaching our children to be in command of their emotional intelligences, taking command and ownership for their actions, ensuring that they master basic number sense and are able to read and write proficiently, connecting them with a positive role model that can help them navigate life’s challenges, holding them accountable for showing up to school, completing tasks and meeting timelines and deadlines are all life-skills that are needed to navigate life.

Those skills, my friends, are what will make society a better place.

What can we do about it you might ask? As a community we are all responsible for ensuring our youth are armed with the necessary tools for survival in life. I am requesting a community call to action.

I am suggesting and am volunteering our staff at Georgetown to join hands with the coalition of the willing in our community to help us develop a Community Report Card.

to our priorities and challenges, create a crystal clear picture of our challenges and hold everyone accountable for student growth and success. It is my dream that hundreds of people will unite, as one, to define, apply and ensure our schools are meeting the expectations and demands of society.

I will be soliciting volunteers for this very important work over the next couple of months. In January, the work will begin. I will make public a draft of the document for public comment and feedback in June of 2016. In August of 2016 I will ask that our Board of Education approve a resolution for our very first Community Report Card. A Report Card that makes sense to everyone and most importantly one that positions our youth to walk across our stage on graduation day ready to take on the world!

I am convinced that the only reason the state and the federal government have taken such extreme action for accountability is because locally we have failed to do so. Let us, the entire Georgetown Community, come together to define excellence and hold one another accountable in achieving it!

Let’s join hands to develop a Community Report Card that ALL can understand and believe in!

Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, Graduation Rate, K-3 Literacy, Prepared for Success; six categories and almost 50 metrics of accountability. As you read those words, I’m sure you are thinking and feeling like you are back in your high school foreign language class. For educators, this is the world of accountability that we have inherited from the state over the past few years. We have become very used to, what I call, “wallowing” in the data and trying to hit nearly 50 academic targets annually. Quite frankly, I think we may have a better chance throwing darts blindfolded and hitting the bulls-eye. I am and will always be a huge advocate for accountability but only when the goals and targets are relevant and clear.

I don’t know if any of you have ever played the children’s game Whack-A-Mole, but if you have you will be able to appreciate my analogy.

For those of you that haven’t played, it’s a children’s game that involves a small plastic hammer and the object is to “whack” as many moles as you can in a minute. The dilemma is when you hit one, others pop up, some which you have already hit before.

With this many targets it’s nearly impossible to achieve all of them. It seems that we take a look at our numbers, de-

The meeting was conducted to put together our program of activities and set chapter goals for the upcoming school year.

In July the officers attended an officer retreat at Canter’s Cave 4-H camp in Jackson. At the freshman open house in August, the officers gave a presentation about our organization, offered guided tours of the high school and constructed a time line of our chapter history that was displayed on a series of tables outside the Ag room. Many other activities will take place throughout the year as part of this ongoing pro-

Dana Buttree (Chapter Historian) won her class with her wether pygmy goat, Courtney Gorman (Chapter Reporter) won first in class with her market hog project, Bailie Darnall won a blue ribbon in her heifer class, Lannah Lambert (Chapter Sentinel) won reserve overall in Equine showmanship, Ginny Pollard won third overall with her large wood working project, Tessa Pinkerton (Chapter Secretary) won Outstanding Market Exhibitor, Junior Division with her market hog project, and Freshman Darcy Howser won overall large animal species Showman of Showmen, securing her place in Brown County Fair history.
