$8M Housing project coming BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press An eight million dollar senior housing complex is coming to Mt. Orab. Mayor Bruce Lunsford, received word June 19 that funding for the 43 unit project had been secured. According to Lunsford, funding of the project through the Tax Credit Assistance Program has been approved and everything is “go” on construction of the Ashley Grove Senior Residence project. In February of this year, Lunsford shared the news

that a new 43 unit senior apartment complex could be coming to Mt. Orab. At that time Pete Schwiegeraht, a residential developer with MillerValentine Residential Development asked Mt. Orab Council members for a letter of support for the plans, which they provided. “We knew this complex would be good for our residents over 55 years old,” Lunsford said. The new complex will sit on Grieshop Street just behind the Best Western Motel and will face the wooded area.

The Miller-Valentine group out of Cincinnati has been developing, building and managing senior housing projects for over 20 years. Schwiegeraht advised Lunsford and council in February that he would be applying for funding through the Tax Credit Assistance Program, and was confident the plans would qualify. Schwiegeraht described each apartment as universally designed, energy star heating system and appliances. Each unit includes a CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

WB school board dropped from suit BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The family of Chance Smith has dropped the Western Brown school board as a defendant in their wrongful death suit against the district. Attorneys representing

Smith’s parents filed a voluntary dismissal regarding the school board on June 7. Attorneys for the Western Brown School District had filed a motion for dismissal on behalf of the school board on May 10, arguing that, according to state law, the school board

is immune from civil liability. “Under Ohio law, based on the allegations in their complaint, the plaintiffs do not have a case against the school board.”, Attorney Bernard Wharton said in May. The same attorneys are

A question of jurisdiction for the Ohio Highway Patrol has resulted in the suppression of evidence gathered in a search of a Brown County home. In a strongly worded ruling, Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler ruled on June 13 that officers of the Ohio Highway Patrol did not have proper jurisdiction when they searched the private property of Delbert Malott on April 21, 2012. “The conduct of the Highway Patrol Officers was an intentional and deliberate disregard of (state law) which establishes the powers and duties of the Highway Patrol as well as (state law regarding search warrants)” wrote Gusweiler. He also wrote, “The court further believes that...the Highway Patrol knew they were not a proper officer pursuant to (state search warrant law) to be requesting, receiving and executing the search warrant...” State search warrant law requires that an officer that obtains and executes such a warrant be “proper”. The legal designation of “proper” includes having jurisdiction over the area being searched.

State law does not give the Ohio Highway Patrol jurisdiction over private property. Attorney Mike Cassity, who filed the motion to suppress the results of the search warrant, praised the ruling. “Judge Gusweiler made a tough call on a close play.”, Cassity said. “I’m hopeful that the next step is to dismiss the case against my client.” The case began after a traffic stop by the Ohio Highway Patrol on State Route 32 on April 19, 2012. The Trooper reported seeing methadone inside the vehicle. to According Gusweiler’s ruling, the passenger in the car “indicated she was willing to work with the officers to tell them who supplied the drugs.” Trooper Rachel Simmons was assigned as an investigator in the case by her supervisors. Following a photo array when the informant identified Delbert and Shaine Malott, “The next day the informant, supplied with money and a wire provided by the Highway Patrol, proceeded to the defendant’s residence, surveilled by several Highway Patrol CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Thomas Turner of Georgetown passed away on June 17, having lived a life of service to his country, his society and his community. He was a World War II Veteran, a pioneer in the Negro baseball leagues and participated in two major civil rights marches in the 1960’s. The Brown County Board of Commissioners released the following statement to The Brown County Press upon learning of his death. “Thomas Turner’s passing is certainly a loss for Brown County. He was a dedicated, hardworking servant of the people, and always had the very best interest of the county as the main focus of his leadership since moving to Brown County in 1984. He is to be commended for his outstanding volunteer work, his principles and his integrity. The Brown County Board of Commissioners will miss his presence and his influence and offer sincere condolences to his family and friends.” Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall also released a statement on Turner’s passing. “Although I didn't know Mr. Turner intimately, I did value and appreciate him as a member of our Brown County and specifically the Georgetown community. With his infectious zeal and energy and his ever present wit, he was

a constant joy to be around, whether it was on the sidewalk in town or at the Post Office or at a school function or a civic or religious event. He was the "ultimate" participant of life. He made it a point to acknowledge everyone that he encountered. His polite demeanor is an example of how we all should live our lives. Our lives are an amalgamation of everything we have experienced from birth. With Mr. Turner, he obviously utilized every experience of his life to make his life and those around him, much more full and rich. What an example for us all!” Cahall continued, “I guess he truly believed that there was good in us all, because I never heard him utter a harsh word about anybody or anything. Our community embraced him from the moment he arrived in our midst and he will be remembered by all of those he encountered, and by those that he loved; family friends and for that matter, all of us who had the privilege of being in his presence.” Turner’s role in the civil rights movement of the 1960’s was profiled by Martha Jacob in The Brown County Press in January of 2011. His recollections from that article follow: “Those were difficult times for everyone in America, both blacks and whites,” Turner remembered. “I came home from work one day and my daughter was watching all the riots on TV, and she was really upset about it. “She was watching police officers turn water hoses on blacks and send dogs into the crowd of people. Finally she looked up at me and said, ‘You got to do something to help those people, Daddy.’ “I’ll never forget that day, and I made the decision to travel to Selma and offer my help. That’s a long 411 mile trip, when you’re alone,” Turner added. “But I was determined to make it Selma and take part in that 4-day march from Selma to Montgomery.”

Turner said there were hundreds of people organized for the march which included blacks and whites, hand-in hand. At least 500 persons began the march on March to Montgomery on March 21 and as the march continued more than 10,000 persons followed King, but only 300 were allowed to make the 4-day march which included Thomas Turner. “It was really something to be a part of,” Turner said with a smile. “We formed a huge line, crossing our arms to create strength and marched for four days. I was fortunate that I was never hit, but many people were hit with clubs as we walked. It was quite a mixture of people, and must have been a sight to see. I remember sleeping in churches and eating whenever we could.” By the time the Freedom March reached Montgomery, it was joined by over 25,000 people. The group then presented Governor Wallace with a petition insisting on equal rights. Turner said he doesn’t regret being part of the Freedom March and said he would do it again. “Our times are better today, but it still has a way to go,” added Turner. “If I could do something today to help America, I’d like to go to Washington D.C. and sit down with all the Democrats and all the Republicans and tell them CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

On the 13th of January in 1938, one-hundred men gathered together and organized themselves to start the first Fraternal Order of Eagles in Georgetown. Seventy-five years later that F.O.E. (called Pleasant Aerie) is still going strong with over 300 members and more than 200 Women’s Auxiliary members. Today, only one of the original 100 men is still living, Robert Waters, and he is still very active in the Georgetown F.O.E. 2293. Waters commented that he still enjoys his time at the lodge talking with old friends and keeping up to date on what’s going on in the village. The first Fraternal Order of Eagles was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1898,

by six competitive theater owners who gathered to solve a common problem. Having solved their problem, their competitiveness changed to camaraderie and eventually gave birth to the Fraternal Order of Eagles. David Berry is the current secretary of F.O.E 2293. He said that the location of the F.O.E. on Mt. Orab Pike is actually the third for the group. “We started out in 1938, upstairs in a building in Georgetown where Mycle’s Cycles is located today,” Berry explained, “Thats at 106 East Cherry Street. We operated out of that building for several year, then moved into the building where the old theater used to be in Georgetown. From there, we built our building here at 600 Mt. Orab Pike in 1990.” Berry said the building has 7,500 square feet of

space and cost $425,000 at that time. “Our members spend their time helping raise money so that the F.O.E. can continue supporting and donating to local causes and organizations,” Berry added. According to F.O.E. member Kenny Lancaster, members of the local F.O.E. consists of judges, lawyers and many local county officials. “This is more than just an organization here,” Lancaster said, “We’re family, in fact, many of our members vacation together each year. We watch each other’s back.” Lancaster said the National Aerie Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall of Fame consists of many well known members such as: • Max Baer • James J. Jeffies • Honus Wagner

• Frank Hering • Stan Musial • William Green • Robert Wagner •Francil Cardinal Spellman •J. Edgar Hoover • John W. Considine • Harry S. Truman, and many, many other wellknown men. Berry said that the aerie has given out over $20,000 in college scholarships to area high school seniors. “Just recently we were able to make a donation to our local fire department,” Beery said, “They do such a wonderful job for this community. “In 1992, we organized which Christmas-Cheer, raised money to buy food for needy families in the community during the holidays. It was a wonderful event for all of us to hand out that food.” Berry said that through the years the aerie has made donations to the Georgetown Police K-9 Unit, the Gaslight Theater restoration, Knothole baseball and many others. “All the money that we raise here at our lodge is divided 25% to the state, 25% for expenditures and 50% back into the community. Even in the past few years when things were so uncertain with our economy, we

continued our efforts to raise money to invest back in our community.” In the past after learning of the devastation and terrible flooding in Iowa City, the group organized a collection of items which were then sent out to help the victims of the flooding. “That was in 2000 that we all worked together to gather all kinds of necessities for those people in Iowa City,” he added. “It felt good to help any way we could. We also help out in local disasters, such as when a family

loses their home to a fire. It’s what we do here at the F.O.E., we help when we can. “In fact, that’s our motto, ‘People Helping People.’” Berry added that on August 3, this year, the F.O.E. will hold a special anniversary dinner and dance and everyone from the community is invited to attend. Anyone interested in learning more about becoming a part of the Georgetown F.O.E. 2293 Pleasant Aerie, please call (937) 378-4330.

In 2000, members of the Georgetown Fraternal order of eagles collected thousands of donated items which were shipped to victims of a devastating flood in Iowa City, only one of the many generous acts of its members.

Fayetteville dedicates new flag pole, sets village-wide yard sale for July 4,5,6 and 7 BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press Fayetteville Village Councilman Joe Huber spoke briefly to council during its June 12 meeting about the success of the Memorial Day flag pole dedication that took place in the village. “I am pleased to say that the flag pole dedication and the regular Memorial Day Service went very well,” Huber began, “The local Cub Scouts raised the first flag on the new flag pole. I’d like to thank them for doing it and everyone else who participated in the event.”

Huber said the ceremony was well accepted by the community and he had received many nice comments. Huber said there is a plaque at the base of the flag pole, which reads...’Dedicated in memory of United States Military Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Scanlon-Kelly VFW Post 5920, Knights of Columbus-Sourd Council 2423, Fayetteville, Ohio May27, 2013.” In other business, Fayetteville Mayor Bernie Vilvens asked council if they would like to schedule this year’s ice-cream social.

son commented that he was all for it and said that last years ice cream social was one of the biggest turnouts the village had ever had. “Well, for everyone who would like to participate,” Vilvens said, “Now is the time to get your ice cream ordered.” Following a brief discussion council set the date for this years ice cream social for Saturday, September 14. Village clerk Barbara Kiley said she would check with other organizations to make sure nothing else is going on that same day. Park committee chair councilman Ed Coleman reported to council that young people continue to tear up the parking lot by spinning around in it and other damage in the park had also been reported including knocking over picnic tables and moving them around and upsetting the bleachers. Chief Carson told council that he had narrowed it down and knew who had done the damage. He said he is in the process of talking to the parents about the situation. “I’m sure I can find some work for these young people to do in the village to make up for their acts of vandalism in the park. I think I can keep them real busy,” Carson said. Carson told council that after last months heavy expenses in repairs to his cruisers, he was happy to report that all the vehicles were now back in service and that all the bills for repairs had been turned in. Carson also stated that earlier this year his department had received some ammo and each car will now be equipped with an AR-15 and its ammo. He said his officers will be receiving special training for the AR-15’s. Councilwoman Harriet Kleemeyer told council that she would like to thank John’s Flowers located in Fayetteville for donating all the beautiful flowers now located in the middle of town. Kleemeyer planted the flowers. In regard to the park, Mayor Viviens passed around a catalog showing a variety of grills available to the village which could be placed in the park for families wishing to grill out. The grill Vilvens recommended cost approximately $180. Although most of council agreed that a new grill would be nice, they felt the money would be better spent on painting the shelter house and the picnic tables. The issue was tabled until next month. Councilman Huber offered to check with Lowes to get a quote on the cost of picnic tables. He said Lowes offers discounts to all American veterans. Mayor Vilvens announced that all the new signs that had been ordered by the village to be placed in the park had been placed in their appropriate spots. The signs included: • ‘Caution, Do Not Play or Stand on Cables’; • ‘Use the Front Entrance’; • ‘Playground is for Use for Children 2 to 12’; •’Caution Surfaces May be hot due to Sunlight Exposure’; • ‘Play at Your Own Risk’. Village Administrator Bob Campbell told council that everything in the village was going very well. He said water is still flowing well in the village and repairs to the

Congress must protect our children The rescue of three Cleveland women, found after being enslaved for years, left us asking how such a horrific incident could happen in our communities, right in our own backyard. The troubling fact is that there’s a silent scourge sweeping our nation, where vulnerable children are exploited as a commodity and sexually trafficked. It’s easy and comfortable to think that sex trafficking only happens elsewhere, far away, but the truth is that exploitation of American children occurs every day in nearly every city and town across this country. The stories of victims of sex trafficking are the headlines you don’t see on the nightly news. Children who are targeted are the most vulnerable in our society, often forgotten or disregarded by a system that was established to keep them safe. The void of vulnerability is created when children experience abuse or neglect, and it grows when they are displaced from family relationships where there is love and security. Even before they meet a trafficker, these factors place children in a dangerously vulnerable state Last November, I met Withelma “T” Ortiz and listened as she told her

roB Portman story, one that is all too common among victims of sex trafficking. T was born to parents who were drug addicts and was placed in the care of child welfare at a very young age. She was shuttled from foster home to foster home — 14 in all before she was 10 years old — often experiencing physical and sexual abuse. Scared and alone, she was drawn to a man who promised the love and security she had never had. It was in this vulnerable place that a godsend boyfriend turned into a nightmare. T was forced to sell her body on the streets. Her day wouldn’t end until she made $1,000 for her trafficker. If she meet that couldn’t amount, she was beaten. T’s experience is remarkable not because her sex trafficking story is unique, but because she was able to escape at 17. She now advocates for kids just like her who are forgotten and alone. It’s time for our government to join her in her fight. Together with Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), I intro-

duced a bipartisan bill that will begin to break down the barriers to ending the sex trafficking of children. First, we need to do a better job of keeping track of runaways and missing kids. Our bill requires that child welfare agencies immediately report a child missing to law enforcement for entry into the National Crime Information Center’s missing persons database of the FBI. We also require these agencies to notify the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children every time a child is reported missing from foster care family homes or childcare institutions. We also must treat children who are exploited as victims, not as criminals. Under the current law, children who are trafficked by someone other than a family member are not eligible for child welfare services. Instead, they are funneled through the juvenile justice system. In many cases victims are locked up, adding to the trauma they’ve already experienced. Our bill breaks down this barrier to treatment by stating that children who are trafficked are victims of child abuse and eligible to receive treatment and care through the child welfare system. Finally, we need to bet-

ter understand the scope of sex trafficking in America. We need to streamline and enhance data collection on children who have been identified as victims of sex trafficking. States need to work to better coordinate with other agencies. And developing evidence-based policies at the federal, state and local level must be a priority. Our bill addresses the lack of data on victims of sex trafficking by requiring that state agencies identify and document each child who is reported as being a victim of sex trafficking. Additionally, our legislation encourages states to find solutions to address the needs of victims, including placements in stable housing, treatments for sexual trauma, and other measures to help them reach a full recovery. For too long, we’ve treated sex trafficking as if it is a problem in other places, for other countries. But it is happening here, and it is happening now. We can no longer close our eyes to the suffering of the most vulnerable among us. Instead, we must do everything in our power to make sex trafficking of children a thing of the past. Our bill is the first step down the path to accomplishing that goal.

YOUR LEGISLATORS

We all know trade matters for Ohioans, and for manufacturers and middle-class workers throughout the country. That’s because when we increase our exports, manufacturers can increase their bottom line. But, our growing trade deficit keeps our domestic companies on the defensive. In fact, recently, new U.S.-China trade deficit figures from April revealed a 34 percent increase since March. Ohio workers and businesses can compete with anyone in the world, but when countries manipulate their currency – to give their exports an unfair price advantage over American-made products – that’s not competing; it’s cheating. The numbers speak for themselves. In 2011, an Economic Policy Institute report estimated that our trade deficit with China, exacerbated by Chinese currency manipulation, has caused the loss of more than 2.8 million

Sherrod Brown American jobs since 2001 – including more than 1.9 million manufacturing jobs. And Ohio alone has lost more than 100,000 of these manufacturing jobs as a result of the Chinese trade deficit. This is unacceptable. Our state has skilled, productive workers and world class infrastructure. But when a country like China purposefully manipulates its currency to make its exports cheaper, our manufacturers don’t even get the chance to compete. Currency manipulation – the act of intervening in currency markets to undervalue its currency to effectively subsidize its exports – drives American companies out-of-business, costs Ohio jobs, and undermines our economy.

But China is not the only country cheating at trade. The Top 20 list of currency manipulators named in a recent report includes China, plus three potential Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, trade partners – Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. Ohio jobs can be created—not taken away— when trade laws are enforced. In fact, a recent report found that addressing currency manipulation could create more than 2 million jobs – including between about 95,000 and 200,000 in Ohio alone. But legislation is needed to use trade laws to combat currency manipulation. That’s why last week, along with Senator Sessions (R-AL) and a strong bipartisan group of our colleagues, I re-introduced a jobs bill to treat currency manipulation as the illegal trade subsidy it is. The Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2013 establishes new criteria for the Treasury Department

to identify countries misaligning currency – and trigger tougher consequences for those who engage in such unfair trade practices. The bill would also allow for industries harmed by currency manipulation to seek relief, the way they do for other export subsidies, which several industries in Ohio have sought – such as steel pipe producers in Lorain and Youngstown. And our bipartisan bill has no cost to taxpayers. The Senate came together in 2011 to address this problem—to stand up for Ohio businesses and manufacturers, and to help spur our economic recovery. And, again, I plan to work with my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, to pass this legislation. By addressing currency manipulation and other unfair trade practices, we can create American jobs and position ourselves to meet the challenges and opportunities of globalization.

Take precautions now for late tobacco Tobacco Issues With the May and early June weather, some of the tobacco crop has not yet been transplanted into the field. The later crop could increase chance of disease and insect damage. Take pre-cautions now. I know that quite a bit of the tobacco has already been set by the time you read this, but for those who have not transplanted, you may be at the greatest risk. Black shank has already been found in some Kentucky patches this year. Later crops are normally at more risk for some insect issues and other diseases, too. In recent years, there have been some new products made available to tobacco producers. These are products that are like insurance to a producer. They are not free, but they could free you up later. Products that can be put into the setter water include the fungicide Ridomil for black shank and other plant diseases, the insecticides Admire or a generic equivalent for aphids, and Coragen for bud worms and tobacco hornworms. We have seen significant success with these products in on-farm research trials done in recent years in Southern Ohio. These are preventative type products. They may be more expensive than a rescue product, but normally you will have damage by the time a rescue treatment is made, plus the cost and time of application. Another preventative that is worth looking at is a little later into the growing season. Target Spot is a disease that is often mistaken for blue mold because it attacks the lower leaves of the crop and holes drop out. A closer look

DaviD Dugan OSU EXTENSION SERVING ADAMS, BROWN AND HIGHLAND CO. will show a circular like target, thus the name. Spraying over the top with 8 ounces of Quadris when the tobacco is beginning to close in between the rows has shown great success in trials throughout Kentucky and Southern Ohio in recent years. For those of you who were able to find soil conditions favorable for setting tobacco between the rains, you may be seeing some issues of concern. Sun scald has been found on some tobacco set during the 90 degree days we had during the last week of May. Sun scald usually happens when plants wilt on the day they are transplanted in extreme heat. The wilted plant stem is sometimes damaged by the sun, but in most cases will recover. Plants that are at the most risk are plants that have weak or damaged roots as a result of pythium or plants that are transplanted into very dry soil

The Rapture It is important to watch what is happening in the Middle East today. In your Bible in Matthew chapter 24, there is a conversation going on between Jesus and His disciples. Beginning in verse 3 it states: “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” We are seeing the pestilences, the earthquakes, the wars, and the rumors of wars now, but the Bible says the end is not yet. Ladies and Gentlemen, before the end comes the rapture is going to take place. We are not staying around here to the end. The rapture is not spelled out in the book of Matthew because at this point it is still a secret. In the book of I Corinthians chapter 15, the Apostle Paul tells us: “Behold, I shew you a mystery;” This was not known before. He said: “We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” It tells us about it again in I Thessalonians 4:1317. Verses 16-17 tells us: “...and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” that is the ones in the graves, “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” Now watch, this no doubt is going to be the rapture taking place right here in verse 8 in Matthew. Once the rapture has taken place and the Christians are gone, anti-Semitism is going to go wild. Right now the Christians hold it somewhat in check. America has a lot of strong Christians that make their voice known all over this nation that we are in favor of Israel. But what about when we are gone? According to several newspapers I have read ant-Semitism is going like a forest fire out of control. In Australia they were throwing eggs at Jews going to the synagogue, they were burning synagogues down, and etc., etc., etc. They said it was the worst outbreak since Hitler of World War II, and it is happening now. In Matthew it goes on to say that they shall even

Esther Black, 85 Esther Black, 85 of Ripley, Oh., passed away Tuesday June 18, 2013. She was born August 3, 1927 in Brown County, Oh., the daughter of the late Virgil and Bessie (Black) Purdin.

hate one another. Sometimes a Jew will deny being one to keep from being persecuted. Others will die before they would deny it. Look at Pearl over there in Pakistan. They put a knife to his throat and when he would not deny being a Jew they slit his throat from ear to ear. After that they decapitated him, which is the manner of the Moslem religion. What will they do in the Great Tribulation? The Bible says that there will be beheading. We are seeing some of these things coming to pass. In verse 14 Jesus said: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” I have heard some of my preacher friends say that we have to get the gospel out because when we do, Jesus is coming back. They are out of context. The context here is the Tribulation period and we are not here at that time. We are going to be home. The Bible tells us so. We know this is the middle of the Tribulation period because of verse 15: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” Daniel spoke about this event in the middle of the 70th week. He said that the prince would break the covenant. “..for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,” (Daniel 9:27). The 70th week is the last week or 7-year period of the Great Tribulation. Therefore, we have already been gone for 3-1/2 years before verse 15 takes place. Amen? The unsaved Jews, along with others, are the ones who are going to see this happen. The 144,000 elect of God will be Jewish preachers (Rev. 7&14) preaching the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. We do not preach the gospel of the kingdom. We preach the gospel of the grace of God. We are under the dispensation of grace up until the rapture, then it will be the gospel of the Kingdom just like John the Baptist was preaching. We, that are saved, are all part of the Kingdom of God. Now, differentiate, the Kingdom of God is here now, but the kingdom of heaven is not here; otherwise Christ would be reigning and instead of praying “thy kingdom come” we would be praying, “they kingdom has come.” Amen?

Thomas “High Pockets” Turner, 97 Thomas “High Pockets” Turner, 97 of Georgetown, Oh., died Monday, June 17, 2013. He was born June 22, 1915 in Olive Branch, Tenn., the ninth of thirteen children born to Samuel and Ada (Wilson) Turner. When Thomas was 10 years old, his family moved to Glendale, Oh., where he attended school. Upon graduating from Glendale High School in 1934 , he attended the Tuskegee Institute for two years on a football scholarship. In 1936, Tom played shortstop for the Cincinnati Stars, the only black team in the Indiana/Ohio Baseball League. In 1940 he was drafted into the United States Army and spent five years at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona where he was an expert marksman with the rifle and taught marksmanship on the range for six weeks at a time, as a result, he lost his hearing and that kept him from WWII overseas military action. On the base, Tom applied leadership skills to organize competitive women’s sports and recreational teams. He played basketball, roller skated and was captain of the football team and the baseball team which he played first base for Army’s 9th Service Command Unit (SCU) team, which swept the 1942 military World Series. The SCU team played all over the Southwest and Northern Mexico. As a result from Tom’s reputation he was offered to play professionally in Sonora, Mexico. He played outfield, first base and pitched for the Hermosillo team in Hermosillo, Mexico from 1945-1947. After a short stint in Mexico, Tom returned to the U.S. to play for the Chicago American Giants in the Negro League. It was with that team that he hit his only home run. When is pay was cut in half, he returned to Cincinnati, Ohio to play for and manage the Valley Tigers from 19481954. He worked at Shillito’s Department Store and General Electric Aeronautical Plant. Tom organized the first women’s softball team in Lincoln Heights, Oh. He participated in the Civil Rights Movement, attending Dr. Martin Luther King’s March on Washington in 1963 and two years later he drove from Ohio to Selma, Alabama for the Selma to Montgomery March. In 1966 he and his three children moved to Seattle, Wash., where he worked for Boeing. After three years with Boeing he went to work for the City of Seattle in Parks and Recreation as senior supervisor. Tom taught and coached softball, basketball, tennis and many other sports. He retired in 1982. Tom and his second wife, Betty moved to Georgetown, in 1984 and Tom conducted exercise classes at the Senior Citizens Center. He quickly became involved in other volunteer activities at the Villa Georgetown Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and the Locust Ridge Nursing Home. Tom was awarded the “John Horn Memorial Roll Up Your Sleeves” award in 2000 by the Alzheimer Association as outstanding volunteer. In 2001 he was chosen Volunteer of the year by Points of Lights, an organization set up by President Reagan to honor worthy volunteers. He was honored by The Ohio House of Rep-

members, including those who live in our area, to be reunited in a special Homecoming Weekend from August 16 to 18. To learn more about this weekend and for registration information, former crew members and their family members can visit http://www.intrepidmuseum.org/fcm70.aspx. The homecoming weekend will feature a special ceremony marking the 70th Anniversary of Intrepid’s Commissioning, on August 16 at 11 a.m. at which former crew members will reunite and share stories of their tours of duty. Throughout the weekend, the museum will offer guided tours of the ship and behind-the-scenes curator-led tours of their museum collection storage facility. For some former crew members, this will be the first time they have been aboard their beloved ship since the completion of their service. The Intrepid’s homecoming weekend is open to the public, and will feature programs and events specifically tailored for former crew members and their families. Entrance to the museum will be free of charge for former crew members and their family members. Now a museum ship and national historic landmark, the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS-11), was one of the most successful and stalwart ships in US history, serving in the Pacific during World War II, when it was hit by five Kamikaze attacks but refused to sink, and nicknamed “the Ghost Ship” by the Japanese.

How much Is too much? Part 2 Celebrex’s usage has dropped off as more and more insurance companies refuse to pay for it. There hasn’t been much backlash about what drug to use for arthritis, but what about drugs used to treat cancer? The National Health Service (NHS) of the UK, for example, decided not to pay for a drug used to treat late stage prostate cancer in men because it was too expensive. Part of the problem is that these new cancer drugs are presented as “a major advance” or “breakthrough”. In the case of the breakthrough cancer drug rejected by the NHS, however, the average increase in life expectancy was only 4 months. As a personal note, I lost my eldest daughter Amy to malignant melanoma in October 2010. I am well aware of the pressure to do anything, pay any amount to find a cure. Amy was convinced that she was going to beat the melanoma. Like most people with a terminal illness, she started researching the internet for the newest and best treatments. She found news articles about a new drug that was not yet approved called ipilimumab. She was sure this was the magic bullet. Between then and now, ipilimumab has been approved. The median increase in survival is only four months. Ipilimumab has a cost of $30,000 per treatment, and with 4 treatments per patient, that is a

HealtH Matters Tom Callahan, Rph total cost of $120,000. That means that on average it would be $30,000 per extra month, or $1,000 per day. I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell my daughter that her life wasn’t worth $1,000 per day, but I think we need to seriously discuss it as a society. This is not really a discussion of how much a life is worth. It is more a discussion of how much a day is worth. Remember, most of these “breakthrough” drugs do not promise to cure the cancer, but simply prolong for several more months. That brings us to our next problem: drug companies and the media preying on desperate, dying patients. Try doing a Google search for “breakthrough cancer treatment” and you will get over 29 million hits. Limit that to just news article and you still get over 13,000 hits. That’s 13,000 articles touting the newest treatment as a “breakthrough”. If there were truly that many breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer, we would have cured it already. Pharmaceutical companies know that patients will lobby insurance companies to pay for a cancer treatment if it’s a breakthrough. Media companies know that a headline that proclaims a new breakthrough in treating cancer will sell

papers (or the tease will get people to tune in to the evening news). How can we have a responsible discussion about whether to pay for these drugs when we let pharmaceutical companies promote them as breakthroughs. That’s like holding out a glass of ice water in front of a man dying of thirst. It’s just not fair. My daughter was 29, and if ipilimumab could add four more months, that means it would extend her life 1.2 percent. Is it worth $120,000 to live one percent longer? How many of us have already wasted one percent of our lives sitting in front of the TV, or complaining about something we can’t do anything about? Instead of going broke to live longer, let’s figure out how to live better, more fulfilling lives. Tom Callahan is a pharmacist, he lives in the Milford area.

Many choices are available to landowners for automatic acceptance back into CRP through the Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP). Landowners statewide may enroll whole or partial fields in the pollinator habitat practice and establish wildflowers. These wildflowers are important for bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds. Pollinator species are a vital component for Ohio’s agricultural crops. Landowners in the Lake Erie watershed may enroll land into the Conservation

Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Available land options include wetlands, grass buffers and windbreaks. Annual rental payment bonuses are available. Landowners who have CRP in targeted counties may enroll in the State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE). Ohio has two SAFE programs: Grasslands and Wetlands Complexes focuses on maintaining and establishing quality habitat in areas where wildlife species are declining, and Pheasant SAFE focuses on vital grassland habitat for upland birds. Whole fields may be enrolled in either SAFE. Field edges may be enrolled into the quail buffer program statewide. These buffers provide cover and food for upland birds and many other species of wildlife. Wetlands may also be restored through CCRP. Many wildlife species are dependent on wetland habitat, but Ohio

has lost nearly 90 percent of its original wetlands. No other practice will attract as diverse a group of wildlife to a person’s property as building a wetland. Annual rental payment bonuses are available for most wetland programs. Some programs offer an additional bonus of 40 percent on top of the 50 percent cost-share to establish habitat. Conservation practices not only create wildlife habitat, but also reduce soil erosion and improve the water quality of Ohio’s streams, rivers and lakes. Landowners are encouraged to contact an ODNR Division of Wildlife private lands biologist for expert guidance on CCRP options. Landowners can also find more information from the FSA. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the website at ODNR ohiodnr.gov.

Sheep Grazing Tour is July 12 Experienced sheep producers or anyone interested in starting up a sheep farm can tour a series of successful Amish farms July 12 led in part by a group of livestock and forage experts from Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The tour will offer both beginning and experienced farmers tips on everything from sheep grazing management to sheep marketing, said Rory Lewandowski, an agriculture and natural resources educator for Ohio State University Extension. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of the college. The tour is designed to provide participants a "unique opportunity to spend time on four Amish farms to

get a first-hand look at their operations," said Lewandowski, who is also helping organize the tour. The tour will focus on four Amish sheep grazing farms in Holmes County, Lewandowski said. Topics to be discussed include: • Beginning sheep farmer using low cost start-up investment • Sheep production • Cool season pasture species • Warm season annuals • Use of minerals • Fencing and rotation management • Breeding management • Sheep and farm marketing Check-in for the tour begins at 8 a.m. in the parking

lot of Keim Lumber, 4465 S.R. 557, in Charm, Oh. The tour bus will leave the parking lot at 9 a.m., returning by 4 p.m. Registration is $35 per person and includes lunch. The deadline to register is July 1 and is limited to the first 100 participants. A registration form can be found at http://sheep.osu.edu. Payments made out to OHSIA (Ohio Heartland Sheep ImAssociation) provement should be sent to Velda Limbach, 14950 Stanwood Street, S.W., Dalton, Ohio 44618. The tour is sponsored by the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association, OSU Extension, the OHSIA and the Ohio Forage and Grasslands Council.

Smith. Wharton’s firm filed a motion on behalf of Burrows asking for a judgement on the pleadings in the case on May 22. The motion claims that the suit against Burrows makes one specific allegation...that he was Superintendent of the Western Brown Local School District in 2011-2012. “Nowhere else in the body of the Amended Complaint is Burrows specifically identified and there are no allegations alleging any specific misconduct or failure to act on his

part”, the motion reads. In a motion in response, attorneys for the Smith family wrote that they have met their obligation in their claim against Burrows. “Alternatively, Plaintiffs should be granted leave to amend their complaint setting forth specific allegations directed to Defendant Burrows”, the complaint continues. It closes by asking Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler to overrule the motion. Wharton said back in May that his firm will also ask Gusweiler to dismiss the suit against the remaining three defendants.

“The individual defendants’ position is that the allegations are untrue and don’t support the plaintiff’s claims against them.”, Wharton said. “We believe that when the facts are in and the law is applied, the cases against the individual defendants will be dismissed.” For statutory immunity not to apply to Burrows, Cooper, Gray and Smith, the plaintiffs will have to prove that they acted with “wanton misconduct and recklessness” that resulted

Brown County Safe Communities Coalition wants to provide our citizens with some information that can help to keep motorcyclists traveling in Brown County safe. First of all, it’s a given that ALL MOTORISTS need to be extra alert and “Look Out for Motorcycles”, especially during this time of the year when we begin to see milder weather. Remember that motorcycles are some of the smallest vehicles on our roads, often hidden in a vehicle’s blind spot, so everyone needs to really watch for them. It’s really important that drivers of other types of motor vehicles always look for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or leaving a lane of traffic & at intersections. But here’s a motorcycle safety concern that was recently brought to my attention by a local motorcyclist—I surely thank her doing so—and it’s something with which just about everyone in the community can help! Now that the weather is warmer and the grass is growing at a steady clip (great for horses and cows but a pain for property owners, unless you happen to be one of the minority who just love to mow their lawns), did you know that this can set up road hazards, particularly for the motorcyclist? Grass clippings which are blown onto the road can create slick road condi-

tions on paved surfaces (especially on curves), and can cause a motorcyclist to lose traction. In fact, in searching on the Internet for more information about this safety issue, I found that some cities, towns and villages actually have ordinances to guard against these types of road hazards. Perhaps many of us, including me, have been guilty of not paying too much attention to this in the past and not really thinking about the safety issue at hand. Well, let’s all have a fresh start this spring and resolve to keep those grass clippings off of the roadway next to our property! Whether you’re a biker or a driver, motorcycle safety is really everybody’s business. Let’s all work together to make this one of the safest motorcycle seasons ever on Brown County roads! Brown County Safe Communities (BCSC) is a participant in the Ohio Safe Communities program, which was developed through the Ohio Department of Public Safety to establish and expand community partnerships to create safer, communities healthier throughout Ohio. Funded by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety/Ohio State Patrol— Ohio Traffic Safety Office, BCSC is administered by HEALTH-UC and the University of Cincinnati AHEC Program.

Here’s one of my freshman year-college memories that I’d just as soon forget. It was the spring of 1970, just before the riots of that year broke out all around Ohio’s college campuses in protest of the Vietnam War. I had just returned to my dorm at The Ohio State University after being out on a Friday night date. Some of my friends and I were talking in the dorm lobby when we all heard a crash, and then my boyfriend yelled to us, “Someone call an ambulance!”. (Remember, this was well before our more extensive EMS and 9-1-1 systems.) We did so and ran outside to see what was happening. A male student had wiped out on his motorcycle in front of our dorm on 12th Avenue and was down on the street, swearing and screaming in pain. Little wonder, as I looked down and noticed that his foot had been disconnected from his ankle and the rest of his leg as a result of the crash! (Interestingly enough, I later found out that this guy was from the town in northeastern Ohio in which my dad had his auto repair business, had later dated a roommate of mine, and had adjusted reasonably well to his foot amputation, but that’s a whole other story.) Any way, I never did hear what exactly caused this wreck—apparently no other vehicle was involved--but this was my first direct exposure to a motorcycle crash. Did you know that per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely than a passenger car driver or rider to die in a traffic crash?!? That’s why the

things are beginning to open up for Mt. Orab and there are a lot of good things coming in the next few months. “I’m very excited about this new apartment complex, it’s going to be a real asset to our village.” Those interested in the project can find more information by calling 1-800329-RENT (7368) or by visiting www.yournextplacetolive.c om.

Highway Patrol slapped in ruling CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 units.”, the ruling reads. The next day, according to the ruling, a successful drug buy was made and a search warrant was obtained from Probate/Juvenile Court Judge Margaret Clark with the assistance of the Brown County Prosecutor’s Office. Gusweiler then references testimony provided during a suppression hearing held on April 11, 2013. He wrote that Troopers Simmons and Investigator Mark Herren “inexplicably testified that jurisdictional issues never crossed their minds. Both conceded that they had never been involved in this type of investigation before.” The ruling then references testimony by Chief Deputy John Schadle and now retired Detective Carl Smith of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. Both men testified that they informed Herren “about the jurisdiction problem”. “The Highway Patrolman’s response was that it was one step removed from a traffic stop and we do this all the time”, Gusweiler wrote. He continued, “Chief Schadle, Deputy Smith and the Sheriff met and determined not to assist the Highway Patrol because the Highway Patrol had no jurisdiction and they didn’t want to be involved in committing an illegal act.” Following the ruling, Schadle said “The jurisdictional issue is what led to the Sheriff's Office decision to not be involved in this case. We felt then,

and feel today, that as a professional Sheriff's Office, the law should always dictate our course of action. The BCSO commends Judge Gusweiler on his ruling, and his integrity in following the Ohio Revised Code, and not giving in to public or political pressure.” Lieutenant Anne Ralston of the Public Affairs Division of the Ohio Highway Patrol said the following in response to the ruling. “Although the decision is disappointing, it underscores the importance of law enforcement agencies working together. The public suffers when that doesn’t occur. We will work with the special prosecutor to weigh next options.” Ralston added that the Highway Patrol did not anticipate any policy or procedure changes in light of Gusweiler’s ruling. She also indicated that the Ohio Highway Patrol could not comments on the specifics of the case while it remained open. A hearing in the case is set for July 16.

During the Eastern Local School District Board of Education meeting June 18, Eastern High School junior Katie Woods shared information she learned from attending a HOBY (Hugh O’Brian Youth) conference. Woods told the board that the experience she had at HOBY was unlike any other she had ever had and said it was difficult to come up with the words to describe it. “One of the things I learned at HOBY was that everyone has different personalities for leadership,” Woods began, “I also learned how different personalities get along with each other. HOBY has a specific mission to inspire and develop student’s global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation. HOBY serves more that 9,000 students annually.

“I took a pledge while I was there to spent 100 hours this year in community service,” Woods said, “Being a part of HOBY has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.” In other business at the meeting Superintendent Michelle Filon introduced three new teachers to the board including: • JP Gouche, 5th grade math/science teacher at Sardinia Elementary; • Drew Montgomery, 4th

students, a return to indexed weights rather than dollar amounts and fund supplemental transportation aid outside the funding formula. The OSBA would also like to see the bill remove provisions from the bill that would replace publicly elected board members on JVSDs with appointed individuals from the private sector and remove the provisions that would expand vouchers. “In regard to HB 167, referred to as the Columbus Plan that we talked a little bit about at last months meeting,” Filon added. “There are three main components requiring legislative action. The first is authorizing the mayor to community sponsor schools, the second part prescribes the creation of the position of independent auditor for the district, subject to voter approval. “The third pard requires the district to seek a levy from which revenue would be shared with partnering community schools.”

All three teachers were in attendance of the meeting and all were approved by the board later in the meeting. Filon offered her legislative liaison report which included a power point presentation. “I’m watching the progress of the biennial budget, House Bill (HB) 59,” Filon explained, “ Earlier in the month the Ohio Senate approved its version of the budget bill. “The Ohio House of Representatives voted last week to not concur with the Senate version of the bill.

Filon told the board that this legislation has not yet been voted on but is scheduled for a possible vote in the Senate committee next week. She said she is also watching HB 18 which provides federal funding for financial assistance for the purchase of metal detectors, and HB 58 which would change the voting membership of the State Board of Education to include only elected officials representing each of Ohio’s congressional districts. “But the only one of these bills that I actually agree with HB 178,” Filon said, “It calls for the reduction of the number of required fire drills while increasing the number of safety drills.” Filon also expressed some concern over SB 127 which would create a property tax and a manufactured home tax reduction for parents of home-schooled children equal to the taxes levied by the school district on the homestead of the parent. In other business, board treasurer Kevin Kendall talked briefly to the board about fiscal year 20313 final appropriations and fiscal year 2014 temporary appropriations. The board approved both issues. Kendall asked the board for approval of the purchase of a new propane boiler for Russellville Elementary. Facilities supervisor Bill Mullins told the board that there are two boilers at the school currently but the back-up boiler was unable to be fixed. He said he had researched changing the new boiler from fuel oil to propane which would save the district a great deal of money to operate and it would be paid for in four years with the savings. “I’ve received two bids on replacing the boiler,”

Kendall said, “One bid was from Wellers for $73,930 and the second bid was from Feldcomp for $79,400. Following discussion by the board to purchase a new boiler it accepted the bid from Wellers and approved the change. Superintendent Filon proposed to the board that it not replace the two bus drivers who had retired last year, and instead eliminate one bus route. “The route I’m talking about goes to St. Michael,” Filon said, “It currently only carries nine students and some days it only carries 5 students. I recommend we eliminate that route, and also internally eliminate one bus route.” Kendall told the board that eliminating the two routes would free up approximately $50,000. “Now that doesn’t mean we will save $50,000, let’s get that clear,” Kendall told the board, “But it could be put into the funding formula and we could get reimbursed for some of it, maybe as much as $24,000. The board approved the recommendation following a brief discussion. The board also approved the following requests: • approve and adopt the revised section 504 policies and procedures; • approve Bethlehem Church Missions for use of the facilities on August 10, 2013; • approve classified supplemental contracts with Danny Jodrey as transportation supervisor, Janie Wills as special education aide/10 extended days and Donna Sentney, educational aide/guidance/10 extended days; • approve Joan Garrett as FCCLA (Family, Community and Career Leaders of America) instructor, $2,000 to be paid using student activity account.

shops Consignment throughout America have gained in popularity recently, expecially since 2008 when the economy took a dive. The economy, however, seems to be bouncing back and so are many small businesses in the area. The ‘Country Barn’ consignment shop in Georgetown, located at 105 N. Main Street, (right next to the new location of the Brown County Chamber of Commerce), is doing very well and seems to be just what the area needed. Owned and operated by Ann Kinder, the Country Barn is filled to capacity with slightly used and some new quality items at affordable prices. “I have approximately 75 consignees that bring in great items for resale,” Kinder explained. “But the majority of the items in my shop come from estate sales. I buy these estate sale items and then research what their worth is. But I understand that Georgetown is a small rural village that consists of a lot of farmers and people who just can’t always pay a lot for things. So it is very important for me to keep my prices reasonable.” Kinder said everything in her store has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before taking a place on her shelves. “One thing the Country Barn is able to offer is a free lay-a-way,” she added. “I offer some high quality merchandise that customers want but can’t come up with all the money at once. I have over 1,100 square feet of space, and I can hold items for a while.” Kinder said her lay-away system is free, with a 10% fee for restocking if the item isn’t picked up. According to Kinder, who has 26 years experience in retail, said she first started in the consignment business several years ago with a yard sale. She said she watched what people were buying, what they asked for and how excited they were to find what

they were looking for. “Eventually, I started setting up a sort of flea market stand in front of the Save-a-lot store,” Kinder said with a smile, “but everyone who stopped encouraged me to open a shop, so that’s what I did.” She continued, “I started out just across the street but quickly ran out of space. So when this building opened up I jumped on it, and opened up in December of last year. I’ve been so pleased with how quickly my customer response has been. And I can proudly say, I know my customers by name and look forward to seeing them when they come in.” Kinder said she also offers wares from local artists including handmade and designed purses and hand-made goat milk soap. She said she loves providing locally made items to the community. Merchandise in the County Barn include: • men’s clothing, shoes,

sports wear, collectibles, NASCAR, knives fishing poles and jewelry; • women’s clothing, shoes, sports wear, jewelry, linens and many houseware items; • large collection of furniture; • childrens clothing, toys and furniture, and much more. “I have a running wishlist from many of my customers looking for specific items,” Kinder added, “They tell me what they’re looking for and I keep my eyes open for the items at a cost they want to pay. Sometimes I don’t make any money, but I sure make my customers happy. I’d like to invite everyone in to look around the County Barn. I can almost guarantee I have something you’ve been looking for.” The County Barn is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kinder may be reached at (937) 378-0229.

Wenstrup votes to protect life On Tuesday, June 18, 2013, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Representative Brad Wenstrup, a cosponsor of the bill, voted in support of the legislation, which passed 228 to 196. “I firmly believe that all human life is sacred and that life begins at conception. I have always and will always stand to protect the lives of the un-

born. The disturbing details that recently came to light surrounding abortion clinics like Kermit Gosnell’s and his crimes highlight the need to take action to prevent future atrocities.” Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortion doctor, was recently convicted of three counts of murder, one count of involuntary manslaughter, and various lesser counts. His abortion clinic was

described as a “House of Horrors” by his staff at trial. “This bill takes steps to protect some of society’s most vulnerable: pregnant mothers and the unborn. It would prevent ending the life of unborn children that are capable of feeling pain past 20 weeks of gestation. I am proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 1797, and hope that the Senate takes up this important bill to further protect life.”

Adamson stands above the rest at Meet of Champions BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press All it took was a little (more) competition to bring out the best in Jess Adamson. The Georgetown track and field athlete wrapped up a successful high school career with a personal-best put to capture the shot put title at the Midwest Meet of Champions at Northrup High School in Ft. Wayne, Ind. last Saturday. Against the best Ohio, Indiana and Michigan had to offer, Adamson unleashed a put of 63-5.75 to cap his high school career as a champion. In a cruel twist of fate, it wasn’t until his final throw as a high school competitor that Adamson broke through and delivered a put he knew was always there. It came in just the nick of time. “I went out with a major PR and it was the last throw of my high school career,” Adamson said with glee in his voice in a phone conversation on Tuesday. “I beat the state champ from Ohio, the state champ from Michigan and the state champ from Indiana.” The opportunity to compete at the Midwest Meet of Champions almost didn’t happen for Adamson. Each of the three states bring just three competitors for each individual event. According to Adamson, the top three are determined by who has had the best times, or in this case, throws, in the entire state. Initially, Adamson was on the outside looking in. When all the best throws in the state were tallied from

Georgetown’s Jess Adamson (competing at the state Track and Field Championships on June 7) was the shot put champion at the Midwest Meet of Champions last saturday in Ft. wayne, Ind.

the past season, he had the fourth best throw in the state. He got his chance to compete in the meet because of an injury. Waverly’s Dylan Dyke, who had the best throw in the state, broke his foot and wasn’t able to compete. As it turns out, Adamson filled in quite admirably. Having not thrown quite as well as he knew he could the previous two weeks at, first, regionals, and then, state, Adamson put it all together in Ft. Wayne. He said he was throwing

65 feet in warmups, something he hadn’t done before. But when he got into the ring for the final time and unleashed the 63-5.75 put, Adamson was feeling good. “They were yelling me on. I even yelled in the circle,” he said. “I was excited. (The throw) didn't even feel good. I had a warmup out to 65. I was really feeling it.” The throw was easily the best of the day. He won by almost two and a half feet. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Tiffin university thrower Mack Tudor, a 2012 western Brown graduate, finished second in the discus at the Division II outdoor Championships on May 24.

CMyK

BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press Midway through his spin during his final discus throw at NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships Mack Tudor knew he was about to let loose a really good throw. The whole throw felt that good. It wasn’t until the small, black weighted disc came to a rest on the ground at Neta & Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl at Colorado State University-Pueblo in Pueblo, Colo. on May 24 that Tudor realized what he’d just accomplished. He’d not only set yet another personal record during his freshman season at Tiffin University but he had put himself in position to win a national championship. That dream was dashed just minutes later when Pittsburg St. senior John Talbert threw exactly six feet further to capture the Division II discus title. Yet, the national runnerup finish was simply a cap on a spectacular freshman

season at Tiffin for Tudor, a 2012 Western Brown graduate. He broke the Northwest Ohio school’s discus and shot put records, won a conference title in the discus and advanced to the Division II Outdoor Championships in both discus and shot put. All things considered, it was a better freshman season that Tudor could ever have imagined. “I couldn't ask for much more. I trained as hard as I could think. I had a couple personal bests I wanted to beat. I definitely out-threw what I was expecting to,” Tudor explained in a phone interview on Tuesday. “My expectations going in were 180 (feet in the discus) and 55 (feet) in shot put. I didn't think I would throw as well as I did. I kind of blew it out of the water I guess you could say.” Initially, the thought of Tudor competing in the Outdoor Championships as a true freshman would have simply been a dream. That was because, like CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

The Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) released its 2013-2014 fall sports divisional breakdown this week. The biggest development coming from the announcement was that the OHSAA approved a new seven division format for football. They adopted the new seven class system to en-

sure that classes were more fairly balanced. With the additional class, the OHSAA placed the biggest 72 schools into a new Division I class. The remaining football schools were placed evenly among the next six classes. This development had an impact on both the local football playing schools. Western Brown, who had been a Division II school in football, moved down to Division III.

They’ll now be among the bigger schools in Division III along with Ross, Talawanda and Wilmington, among others, who had all previously been Division II schools. Meanwhile, Fayetteville just barely stayed as a Division VI school. The cutoff line between Division VI and the new Division VII was 112 boys. Fayetteville has 114 boys registered for the school year, ensuring they’ll be

one of the smallest schools in Division VI. They’ll also face some tough competition in Division VI with a lot of Division V schools moving down to Division VI, including, among others, Summit Country Day and Cincinnati Country Day. In addition to the release of the new football classes, the OHSAA released the divisional breakdown for each of the other fall sports. Again, the school most

affected was Western Brown. For the next two years, the Lady Broncos volleyball team and girls soccer team will move back up to Division I. On the flip side, the Broncos boys soccer team will move back down to Division II after spending the past two years in Division I. The only other change among fall sports teams was in Fayetteville.

The Lady Rockets volleyball team will move back down to Division IV this fall. Those were the only schools and teams affected by the new division breakdown for this fall. Every other fall sport team will be in the same division they had been the past two years. Division breakdowns for winter and spring sports will be announced by the OHSAA on Aug. 8.

A group of 35 incoming fourth through eighth graders took part in the Lady G-Men Basketball Camp last week at Georgetown high school. Lady G-Men coach Bernie Cropper directed the camp with the help of assistant varsity coaches and players.

Georgetown Lady G-Men Basketball Camp a success BY Andrew Wyder The Brown County Press A group of 35 campers took part in the annual Lady G-Men Basketball Camp last week at Georgetown High School. Under the direction of Lady G-Men coach Bernie Cropper, campers learned fundamentals and took part in competition and league games. Campers were divided into two groups (fourth, five and sixth graders and seventh and eighth graders)

who took part in free throw, two ball layup, hot shot and one-on-one competitions throughout the week. Winners in the competitions were as follows: •Free throws: Fourth, fifth and sixth: Rylee Leonard; Seventh and eighth: Reagan Leonard. •Two ball layup: Fourth, fifth and sixth: Gracie Fischer; Seventh and eighth: Madi Kattine. •Hot shot: Fourth, fifth and sixth: Kati Colwell; Seventh and eighth: Reagan Leonard.

berry, Hannah Cox and Gracie Fisher. At the completion of camp on Friday, awards were given out to the best defensive player and most improved player in camp. The Best Defensive Player honor was bestowed upon Kiana Dauwe (4-5-6) and Kennedy Underwood (7-8). The Most Improved Player was awarded to three campers. Grace Burrows (4-5-6) was honored as was Sarah Stansberry and Amaya Lovell (7-8).

Tudor: Wraps up freshman season with runner-up finish CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 he did in the indoor season, Tudor had expected to redshirt the outdoor season this spring to work on getting bigger and adjusting to the bigger shot put, which is 16 pounds compared to the 12 pound shot he threw in high school. It turned out his work during his redshirted indoor season payed off. His determined volume training regimen of heavy reps and heavy sets helped him add 35 pounds to his 6foot-4 frame. Even though he expected to fill in and get bigger once he got to college as he was always one of the youngest in his class -- he was just 17 when he graduated from Western Brown -- the added bulk convinced him and his Tiffin coaches to allow Tudor to compete during the outdoor. “It was clear I could compete for nationals and for a national championship,” he said. Quickly it was apparent that Tudor would have little trouble adjusting to the collegiate level despite being one of the youngest competitors. He broke Tiffin’s discus school record in his firstever competition, the Samford Invitational in Birmingham, Ala. Two meets later, at the Marv Frey Invitational at Ohio Wesleyan University, Tudor unleashed a throw of 184-8, which was good enough to qualify him for the Division II Outdoor

Championships. On every level except Division I track and field, athletes earn a trip to the nationals by hitting a certain mark in their specific event. Finding success in the discus didn’t take long for Tudor but it was a little longer before he saw a similar type of success in the shot put. He worked to adjust to the added four pounds and it finally came to a head at the Ashland Invitational at Ashland University on April 27. His put of 59-1.50 was his career-best and, at that time, the fifth best in the country. It also turned out to be good enough to qualify for nationals while also breaking the school record. Clinching trips to the Outdoor Championships in both the discus and shot put before regular season came to an end allowed Tudor to relax and have plenty of time to prepare for the trip to Colorado to compete in nationals. “It was definitely great. Now I (could) focus on nationals in a couple week,” Tudor said. “It (was) another week to survive type of thing. It definitely took weight off my shoulders.” Tudor would go on to win the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in the discus on May 2, beating Findlay senior thrower Derrick Vicars along the way. Beating Vicars, a twotime Division II National Champion (one in the dis-

cus and one in the shot put), was something Tudor was incredibly proud of. “I wanted to compete against Derrick Vicars,” Tudor said. “It's nice to say I beat that caliber athlete.” Fresh off his triumph over Vicars, Tudor headed to the Outdoor Championships as one of the youngest competitors. Just three freshman qualified for both the shot put and discus -- Tudor, Nebraska-Kearney’s Ryan Hircock (finished 19th in discus) and Ashland’s Dustin Porter (finished 19th in shot put). Tudor would go on to finish 16th in the shot put but it was performance in the discus that was noteworthy. He threw nearly 175 feet in his first throw of the afternoon in the discus, a throw he figured would be good enough to get into the finals, which it did. Still, Tudor wasn’t quite clicking on all cylinders. He struggled to find his footing in the ring. “The ring was really slick in Colorado. I couldn't get any traction,” he said. “I was slipping on my back foot. That was getting in my head.” In the finals, Tudor’s first two throws were in the mid170’s. He knew he had to do make something happen in his last throw. “I came out of the ring my second to last throw thinking I have to get something done on my last throw,” Tudor said. “I was sitting in seventh place going into the last round. I was gonna get, at least, an All-American spot. I wasn't going to let anybody take that from me.” He promptly stepped into

the ring and delivered. “It was 190-6. I couldn't believe it,” Tudor said of the throw. “I was about to cry. I couldn't believe I won a national champions.” Then Talbert stepped into the ring just minutes later and threw 196-7 and won the national title, making Tudor the runner-up and an All-American to boot. “I went through so many emotions in five minutes,” Tudor said. “(Talbert) was a great guy. He was a senior. He deserved it.” Having recently wrapped up his freshman season, Tudor looked excitely to the future on Tuesday. As always, Tudor has set his standards high for the future. He’s spent the last couple weeks researching how former UCLA AllAmerican and three-time Division I national champion and two-time Olympian John Godina had performed during his freshman season so he knows where he stands against the best. “I've always had high standards. I always think about throwing further and further,” he said. “I know what I need to do.” But he did take a few moments to reflect on what turned out to be an outstanding freshman season at Tiffin. “It was definitely a change,” Tudor said of the collegiate level. “At major competitions I've never performed my best. I show up at nationals my freshman and I dominated a little bit. I enjoyed being on the other end of the pole. It was definitely a great feeling. “Being one of the best freshman in the country has me excited for the future.”

Joe Myers 5K set for July 4th The annual Joe Myers 5K Classic will kick off at 8:00 a.m. on July 4 at the Rambler Center in Russellville. Registration begins at 7:00 a.m. There will be eight categories for runners plus and one for runners. The top male and female finisher will be awarded plaques.

Adamson: Finishes a champion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 Riley Norman, of Michigan, finished second with a put of 61-1.5. Adamson also beat his Ohio teammate, David Paliscak, who had beaten him out a week earlier for the Division III shot put title at the State Track and Field Championships. Paliscak finished third with a throw 60-6.5 in what was a loaded field. “This was the best of the best. This was harder than the state meet,” Adamson said. “I felt more proud winning the meet of champions than I did if I won the state meet.” The throw was also a vindication of sorts for Adamson. He’d been able to throw over 60 feet in practice regularly this season, including several throws of 64 feet, but hadn’t been able to do so as much in competition. But against some of the best throwers in the Midwest, Adamson finally was

able to put his best foot forward in competition. “I finally got to prove myself,” he said. As a bonus, Adamson got to one-up his friend and former competitor, Mack Tudor. His throw broke the former Western Brown thrower’s city of Cincinnati record in the shot put. Tudor had set the record last year with a throw of 62-6. Chad Sexton, Western Brown track and field coach, told Adamson that he now held the city record even though the throw came at a postseason meet. “I was happy that I finally beat Macklin, at least record wise,” Adamson said. “He had 62 and I really wanted to beat him. I finally beat his season best.” A championship in hand, Adamson was on top of the world and feeling pretty good about a high school career that saw him go out on top. “I’m very excited,” an understated Adamson said.

There may be just two local teams who compete in the Southern Buckeye Conference but they combine to acquit themselves quite well against the rest of the league. In fact, they tend to perform pretty well. The 2013 spring season was no exception as four Western Brown or Georgetown teams took home titles this spring. They were honored at the SBC Spring Banquet on May 28 at Hamersville School. It was another strong spring for Western Brown teams, whose combined performances helped the school earn its 11th straight American Division AllSports Award title. The Broncos baseball team won a share of its second straight American Division title. They finished 8-2, the same record as cochampion New Richmond. Meanwhile, the Lady Broncos softball title won a share of its first title since 2009. The Lady Broncos finished 8-2 to share the title with Amelia. Western Brown senior shortstop Brittany Palmer was named softball CoPlayer of the Year for the American Division along with Amelia’s Brady Portafke. The Lady Broncos’ coach, Blaine Wallace, was honored with Amelia’s Kelly Throckmorton as the American Division softball Co-Coach of the Year. It was just as successful, if not more, of a spring season for the Western Brown and Georgetown track and field teams. Both the Broncos boys track team and the G-Men boys track team took home titles at the SBC League Meet on May 14-15 at Western Brown High School. Several track athletes and coaches were bestowed with individual honors.

I keep my phone in my pocket so I can snap a quick photograph of any garden visitors. My father worked diligently to eradicate any milkweed from our farm ground and would surely be disappointed with me for enthusiastically planting several varieties in my gardens. Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is probably the most invasive culprit. It selfsows freely, so deadhead if you don’t want volunteer seedlings each year. All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. The milkweeds contain toxins called cardiac glycosides. Monarch and Queen Caterpillars accumulate these toxins while feeding and become distasteful to predators such as birds and reptiles. The toxins remain even in the body of the adult butterfly, and in the Monarch are concentrated in the wings and the abdomen. Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a wellbehaved garden plant. It forms a large clump and will not spread by runners like so many of its cousins. As with

This true milkweed lacks milky sap; instead, its stem and leaves bleed clear sap. The species name tuberosa refers to its large taproot, which makes it nearly impossible to transplant (it can be grown from seed). Its single stems branch only near the top and its flower stalks harbor up to 25 individual flowers. Flowers vary from all yellow to red. Butterfly Weed is a host plant for Gray Hairstreak and Monarch butterfly cater-

pillars. The life history of a Monarch butterfly is fascinating to observe. There are four stages to a butterfly’s life, and each is radically different from the others. A butterfly starts as an egg, which hatches in about 4 to 6 days. The tiny caterpillar starts to eat and, as it gets bigger, sheds its skin 4 to 6 times. After about 2 to 3 weeks it is full grown and transforms into a pupa, a quiescent stage during which its body structures change into those of an adult. Five to fifteen days later the adult butterfly emerges. Adults mate, the females lay eggs, and the cycle starts over. This whole process is called metamorwhich means phosis, “change of form.” I apologize for getting so “scientific”, but sometimes we forget the chain of events. Needless to say, I learn more about butterflies each year. I have read about rearing butterflies, but I think my calico cat would more than likely help the caterpillars meet an untimely death!

At the suggestion of a person that has been very successful at business I am requesting that you contact the newspaper editor associated with this paper, the one that you are now reading, and thank the editor for printing this newspaper column and/or any other column that draws your attention. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. *** A surprise telephone call from my friend Gloria ended up in an impromptu trip around the southern Ohio countryside. We had a delicious meal at the truckstop just east of Sardinia, visited Lyndon Yocum's gravesite on Father's Day, found out about two new businesses (at least to me), and had a great time conversing. The two new businesses in our small traveling area of US Route 62 to Sardinia through Arnheim is Indian Springs Winery and Farmers Market. They are open on Saturdays for both, and I forget the other day and I also forget the name of the road except to know that it is the second road to the north after turning from Arnheim toward Lake Waynoka. The second business is the Good Seed Farms which has moved from beautiful but faraway Tranquilty to easily accessible Macon. You cannot miss this business. It could have been the day of perfect temperatures and perfect sunshine but it seemed as if every plant in the whole area was magically calling my name, “Mary, see how beautiful I am? Take me home with you!” Yes, every single one is beautiful and Steve Boehme and his knowledgeable staff were extremely helpful. *** If you are interested in writing Jimmy Joe Eckler his address is James J.

one of 55 qualified from Ohio that will participate for Global Competition at the University of Tennessee. The team members will compete with other teams from all over the world. The requirements they have to met sound very, very stiff to this technically challengered author. All I can say to this team that in my eyes you are winners. Nathan is the grandson of Ruth Ann Teeters, and son of Larry and Vicki Bixler, coaches for this team along with Amy Combs. Congratulations Team. *** The Brown County Sing will be held this month at the New Beginning's Church at Farmer's Chapel at 3417 White Oak Valley Road, Georgetown, Ohio 45121. You are welcome. *** Thursday evening I had the great pleasure of being one of the packed out audience at the Gaslight Theatre to see the Christian Theatre for Children 2013 Summer Theatre Presentation of Disney's “The Jungle Book.” What a thrill for me to see the young people perform, their excitement, their enthusiasm! Many thanks to Dody Crisp Staker for realizing her dream and also for her hard work that went being awarded the State Farm Insurance Company $25,000 grant. Another production is scheduled to be presented at the Gaslight Theatre on December 6th. Also, many thanks to Sandy Hanselman Eversole, Debbie Haubner Adkins, and Jill McCarley Dotson for bringing this all together in a such a wonderful way. *** Happy Birthday and anniversary to: Adam Klump, Travis Hamilton, Eric Greene, Trixie Goodman Clifton

Food for Fines huge success From May 12-25th the Brown County Public Library offered “Food for Fines.” Patrons were able to bring in canned food or gift cards to help pay off their library fines. This was a great way to help patrons clear up their library accounts and help the local food pantries. 941 food items were taken, as well as $281 in gift cards, which helped pay off the fines for 238 patrons. All together $2731 was waived from all four branches of the Brown County Public Library system. Fayetteville-Perry Library gave their donations to Hope Emergency located in Lynchburg, Ohio. The Georgetown Library gave their donations to Helping Hands located in Georgetown, Ohio. The Mt. Orab Library gave their donations to the Living Church of Five Mile’s food pantry located in Mt. Orab. The Sardinia Library donated their items to the Sardinia food pantry, an interfaith food pantry provided by Sardinia area churches.

2002, (Native Landscaping for Birds, Bees, Butterflies, and other Wildlife) and Bulletin 865 (Native Plants of Ohio). The vegetable garden is growing nicely. Tomatoes are appearing on the vines and I can almost taste them. The tomato map is hanging in the garden so that we can find the name of the tomato that we are sampling. This past week-end we hosted an outdoor wedding reception for a good friend. The lower yard needed weeded and mulched. We ended up spreading 23 yards of mulch! I feel like I am ready for a garden tour. The deer have been trimming the hostas down at the cabin. I sprinkled some “repellant” and then we were blessed with 3 ½ inches of rain, so I had to sprinkle again. The farmers have planted corn all around us, so the deer will be dining in our landscape more this year. I have been watching a family of rabbits hop around the fenced in part of my garden each morning- so far they haven’t hopped over. Are you starting to find insect damage on your plants or roses? Don’t forget that your gardening questions can be emailed to Mike Hannah, Brown County Master Gardener, at mhannah2@msn.com.

Magie Waters Summer Theatre in full swing Return to Our House” is both an invitation and the title of the first play for the Summer at Magic Waters Theatre near Bainbridge. Indeed, the folks at Magic Waters Theatre do want folks to know that they are open this Summer and invite them to return to “Broadway on Cave Holler!”, and Jean Lowe of the Magic Waters troupe has written a delightful offering for the first show of the season, sort of appropriately titled “Return to Our House”. The show opened on June 7, and it will play for just one more weekend, June 14, 15, & 16. The play is a comedy, but also deals with some serious life struggles which the audiences so far have truly appreciated. Friday and Saturday shows start at 8 p.m. at the rustic amphitheatre on Cave Road, and the Sunday shows start at 7 p.m. Optional preshow dinners may be ordered ahead of time and are served one hour before show time. Boonie the Magician also entertains for nearly an hour before the show, so folks wanting to catch a bit of that should plan on arriving early. Magic Waters Theatre is located on the Cave Road, just off of US Route 50 and 4 miles west of Bainbridge. Admission to all shows for the Summer is: Adult- $7.00, Child-$3.50 and Srs.-$4.00. The optional pre-show dinners cost $6.95 plus tax. Money-saving season tickets are on sale at this time,

and group rates begin at 20 people (Please call to arrange for a large group.) Magic Waters will present two other shows this summer: “Maggie’s Mischievous Back to magic Land” and “Charlotte’s Web”, with the Maggie show happening the last two weekends of June and Charlotte’s Web filling the last three weekends of July. Both of these shows are appropriate for the young in heart of any age. (There is no show on the Independence Day weekend.) All folks visiting Magic Waters Theatre this Summer will get chance to win a “Getaway Give-away” which features overnite stays at either Bayview Cottages or Blueberry Hill cabins at Rocky Fork Lake, tickets to “Tecumseh!”, day passes to Long’s Retreat and even more! (Actually there will be four of these great mini-vacations awarded by the luck of the draw! To make reservations, to inquire about group rates, or to order pre-show dinners call (937) 365-1388.

Keeping your medications safe Our Agency recently developed a flyer with our friends at Compass Community Health/The Counseling Center on tips for keeping your medications safe. Sadly, crimes involving prescription medications are a reality. It’s important to follow the practice of not sharing information with others, of course outside of trusted caregivers, family members, friends and medical personnel, concerning the types of medications one is taking, especially if it involves any kind of pain medications. It’s always good to keep in mind the following important pointers for when you are home or away, or if you or someone you know takes medications on a regular basis. When You are Home: • If using mail order medications, set-up a Post Office Box instead of

home delivery. • Do a pill count regularly to ensure none are missing. • Keep medications in a locked area or locked box out of sight and in a safe place. Avoid leaving them on the kitchen table or in front of a window. • Only share information about the types of medications you are taking with trusted family members, trusted friends, trusted caregivers, and your medical team, especially any type of pain medication. • Install a dead bolt or chain lock on doors, and consider a home security system or door alarm if necessary. • Do not give out personal information over the phone, through the mail, or over the Internet unless you have initiated the contact or know with whom you are dealing. When You are Away: When going out while carrying medications, try to go with family and friends. Keep car doors locked; be alert and park near a well-lit entrance. With Your Doctor: Speak with your doctor about whether the medications you are taking have any kind of “street value.” If so, perhaps the doctor can prescribe something that would not carry a similar street value. If this isn’t possible, you should keep these medications in a secure location and do not relay this information to anyone outside of a trusted caregiver, family member, or friend. Always ask your medical team for information or education regarding medication safety and drug interactions. For more information about home and community-based long-term care options in your community, call our Resource Center Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:30 pm at 1-800-5827277. A trained social worker or nurse is available to help connect you with resources that can assist you or someone you know with living safely and independently at home.
