Sheriff facing suit following ‘big dig’

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press

This is the inside of the garage on the property of Jeanette Spanger following the execution of the search warrant on her property.

The Brown and Clermont County Sheriffs are facing a two million dollar civil suit in Federal Court after a ruling by the US Court of Appeals.

Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger and Clermont County Sheriff Albert “Tim” Rodenburg, Jr. are also facing the trial as individuals, making them responsible for legal fees and any rulings against them.

The appeal ruling stems from a search in Brown County in 2004 for evidence in a suspected murder.

The men are accused of intentionally and unnecessarily destroying private property while executing a search warrant on property owned by Jeanette Spangler on Fayetteville-Blanchester

Road.

It became known locally as “the big dig”.

Officers from the Brown and Clermont County as well as the FBI were searching for the body of Carrie Culberson, who disappeared in August of 1996.

Her ex-boyfriend, Vincent Doan, was convicted of kidnapping and aggravated murder in 1997 in relation to her disappearance.

The search warrant was approved after “reliable informants” told the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office that Culbersons body was under a garage on Spangler’s property.

Wennenger and Rodenburg, along with their deputies and a representative of the FBI, executed the search warrant on April 27, 2004.

Cadaver dogs were brought in and holes were drilled into

the concrete floor of the garage.

Dirt was extracted to search for human remains and then piled outside the garage.

By May 3, personal property had been removed from the garage and placed outside.

The complaint centers on the fact that dirt was dumped onto that property. including vehicles, damaging it.

The search concluded on May 11.

By that time, there was a hole in the Spangler garage that was 15 feet deep.

In April 2006, Spangler and her son, Jerrod Messer, filed a lawsuit against the two sheriffs and the Board of Commissioners of both counties, alleging violations of civil and fourth amendment rights in connection with the execution of the search warrant.

Higginsport woman accused in Monroe dragging death Suspect reportedly was working as exotic dancer

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press police have Monroe charged a Higginsport woman with leaving the scene of an accident after she allegedly dragged a Monroe man to his death under a sport utility vehicle on Aug. 7.

Police in that city, which is located in both Butler and Warren counties, identified the suspect as being Kristina Hensley, 35, in two separate press releases sent to The

Brown County Press on Aug. 10.

Hensley was bound over to a grand jury following a preliminary hearing held for her Aug. 10 in Butler County Area 3 Municipal Court in West Chester. She was charged, according to court records with “hitskip”, which in the Ohio Revised Code is a violation of a regulation requiring people involved in an accident to stop afterward.

Police reported a call was

placed in the early morning hours of Aug. 7 to Naughty Bodies, an exotic dancer service whose address was given as Covington, Ky., asking for a dancer to come to 367 Timrick Place in Monroe for a private show.

According to police, an investigation revealed that apparently “something” happened in that residence causing the dancer, whom they identified as being Hensley, to leave the residence quickly.

Police stated Jae Cho, who

reportedly lived at that residence, followed Hensley to the street and apparently was in front of Hensley's vehicle as she left the scene.

Hensley reportedly pulled into a Shell gas station at 1280 Hamilton Lebanon Road in Warren County. Monroe Police officers responded to that station following a call at 4:59 a.m. Aug. 7 for a report of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.

Upon officers' arrival, the pedestrian, later identified as Cho, was found to be under the vehicle and appeared to

have suffered severe trauma, according to police.

Monroe medics arrived on the scene and advised that Cho was deceased, police said. The initial investigation revealed the pedestrian was first struck by the vehicle, which police identified as being a Ford Explorer SUV, on Timrick Place near his home and dragged by the vehicle's driver to the Shell station.

Cho's body was taken by the Warren County Coroner's Office. Police filed a charge CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Operating restrictions at Moler Raceway Park in Sterling Township are currently the subject of two court battles.

Molers file appeal on racing restrictions

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The operators of Moler Raceway Park in Sterling Township have appealed the ruling issued by a judge in a civil lawsuit against them.

They have also filed a request to have the restrictions ordered against them suspended while the appeal proceeds through the court system.

Last July, Judge W. Richard Walton ruled that the Moler Raceway may only operate on Friday night, racing must stop

at midnight and the noise level must not exceed 75 decibels at 100 feet from the track.

The judge also ordered that all lights and speakers be aimed downward at the track.

If those restrictions are exceeded, Walton ruled that the racetrack would then constitute a “private nuisance”, presumably giving anyone opposed to the operation of the track the ability to file suit again.

Joseph Trauth Jr, attorney for the Molers, said in a telephone interview that his clients consider the ruling a “non-enforceable decision”, based on a number of factors.

“The judge ruled that the track was not a nuisance per se but could ‘ripen into one’”, Trauth said.

“If you fail to show a nuisance then there isn’t a nuisance.”

Trauth also said that there was ambiguity in the ruling about the decibel levels coming from the track and that the restrictions ordered by the judge were “subjective and not definitive.”

When questioned about the appeal, Trauth said that “it’s too early to define what we’re asking for” but that the Molers were making a “good faith effort to operate within the definable restrictions of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Royalty reprimanded by Western Brown School Board

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Western Brown Local School District Superintendent Jeffrey Royalty has received two letters of reprimand from the Western Brown School Board.

The first, dated July 19, said “it has been brought to the Board’s attention that you failed to follow the proper procedures for the granting of an extended-limited contract for a teacher. This resulted in considerable expense to the Board when it attempted to non-

renew this teachers contract at the conclusion of the 20082009 school year.

This expense and trouble would have been unnecessary had the proper statutory process for the granting of an extendedlimited contract been followed.”

Royalty said that the circumstances in the letter were brought about when a teacher in the district was eligible for a continuing contract and the new building principal requested that the teacher be given a contract for one additional year instead.

Royalty approved the request.

“That turned out to be wrong”, Royalty said. “What I should have done was pick up the phone and call the (district) lawyer.”

The teacher filed a lawsuit that was eventually settled.

The case cost the Western Brown School District ten thousand dollars, the deductible that applied to an insurance policy carried by the district.

The second letter of reprimand is dated July 22.

You may have noticed the heat lately.

Temperatures this week are not expected to rise above the mid 80’s, which is much cooler than they have been in the past couple of weeks.

Meteorologist Rich Apuzzo, who works with MAX FM among other clients, said that while the heat is sometimes frustrating and uncomfortable, it’s to be expected this time of year.

“Heat is a relative thing and while we might think it’s hot, it’s nothing unusual or unexpected in August:, said Apuzzo.

“The number of 90 degree days from June through the first 14 days of August is actually quite typical for a summer, around 16 days.”

He also said the discomfort is related to that old cliche...it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.

“The trouble hasn’t really been the measured air temperature as much as it has been the high humidity, which makes it feel hotter than usual.”

“The combination of a stubborn weather pattern,

high pressure in the upper atmosphere providing abundant sunshine and limited rain chances and an unusually moist atmosphere have led to very warm days and warm nights.”

Apuzzo also said that the weather misfortunes of others have also lead to some high humidity in Brown County.

“One thing of interest in our part of the world…there was a lot of rain across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley. That led to flooding in many areas. Now that moisture has been evaporated into the atmosphere without strong storm systems to mix it out or rain it out…and that’s what led to the humid pattern here for the past 2 months.”

Apuzzo added that cooler temperatures are not that far off for southern Ohio.

“We’re already seeing a change and it appears that we’ll be seeing cooling over the next two weeks, or at least temperatures cooler than they have been in the past two weeks. In addition, more wind will mean more drying of the air…so change is already here and ongoing.

Enjoy it!”

Apuzzo said that although it might have felt like it, this

village clerk-treasurer was among the topics discussed at the Sardinia Village Council's regular meeting Aug. 9.

That subject was connected to proposed monthly sewage treatment rate changes discussed at that meeting at the Sardinia Life Squad Building on Winchester Street.

The council normally meets at Sardinia Town Hall on Maple Avenue. It was moved to the Life Squad Building in anticipation of a larger than usual crowd to hear discussion about the pro-

posed sewer rate changes.

About 30 people were in the audience this past Monday night.

The subject of a former clerk-treasurer's thefts of funds came up during discussion about a $25 surcharge all Sardinia sewer customers currently pay each month, but which is scheduled to be eliminated if council members approve a proposed rate change ordinance (see separate story).

Audience member Paul Gould, a former Sardinia mayor and councilman, said the village had to come up with something, referring to the surcharge implemented in 2008, to help pay for the village's sewer service because the village at one time was about $88,000 in the hole. He added that $25 was assessed “just to keep the town afloat”.

Gould mentioned how a previous “fiscal officer”, whom he did not mention by name, hadn't done her job properly, referring to Julie Shannon who was convicted by a Brown County jury earlier this year of three felony counts connected to her alleged stealing of funds from the village while she was in office.

Those counts included theft in office and tampering with records, third-degree felonies, and identity theft, a fourth-degree felony.

The discussion about those thefts also included questions from audience members about how Shannon was able to commit those crimes.

Councilman Art Hoovler mentioned how Shannon

reportedly wrote herself checks and how she didn't provide financial reports to the council when she served as clerk-treasurer.

“We are keeping an eye on your money,” Hoovler told his listeners.

The counts on which Shannon was convicted cover crimes committed between July 1, 2006, and Jan. 10, 2008.

She was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to make restitution to the village of Sardinia. Brown County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Little had reported the amount due Sardinia from Shannon as being $9,675.11.

Mayor Todd Bumbalough said at last Monday's meeting the village will go after the company which bonded Shannon for her clerk-treasurer's work in an attempt to recover some of those stolen funds.

Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell mentioned while Shannon has been ordered to make restitution to Sardinia, she can't repay funds while she's in prison.

“We're doing the best we can,” Cutrell said.

Bumbalough said while the village may not recover all those stolen funds, “Anything we can get back will be more than helpful.”

Also at the meeting, the mayor informed his listeners garbage collection rates in the village would increase beginning in November because of a new contract the village had signed with Rumpke.

Monthly residential rates will rise from $15.07 to $16.68

with senior citizens' rates to increase from $9.47 to $10.97.

He mentioned while there was a senior citizen discount for garbage collection, there wasn't any such reduced senior citizens' rate for sewage treatment bills in the proposed sewage rate change ordinance.

An informational sheet about the proposed sewer rate changes distributed at the meeting also included some proposed water rate increases the council is anticipated to discuss at their next meeting on Monday, Sept. 13.

Those increases are yearly hikes for each of the years from 2011 to 2014. The monthly usage rates for less than 1,000 gallons would rise from $11.03 currently to $12.41 in 2014, and the monthly usage rates for 1,000 to 2,000 gallons would increase from $16.54 presently to $18.62 in 2014.

Monthly usage of 2,000 to 10,000 gallons would rise from the current $7.72 per 1,000 gallons to $8.69 per 1,000 gallons four years from now, and monthly usage of more than 10,000 gallons would increase from the current $6.62 per 1,000 gallons to $7.45.

The cost of bulk gallons would rise from the current $8.82 to $9.93 in 2014.

Also at last Monday's meeting, council members voted 5-1 to set FridayMonday, Sept. 3-6, as the dates for the village's Fall Communitywide Yard Sale.

E. State Street Sidewalk Project finished in G'town CMYK

Reports given on other Georgetown road projects

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press A sidewalk project Village Administrator Kelly Jones discussed at the Georgetown Village Council meeting on July 22 has since been completed, but some other mentioned road work has yet to begin.

In an Aug. 5 telephone

interview, Jones said that work on the East State Street Sidewalk Project had been completed, but the final inspection by an architectural firm hadn't been undertaken.

That project involved crosswalks across East State Street between Morrison Place Apartments and an empty field and between Burger King and the business

plaza where Subway and Gold Star Chili are located as well as a new sidewalk on the north side of East State Street between those crosswalks.

The cost was a little less than $12,000.

In other news, Jones said he Georgetown Street and Department Supervisor Tom Hurley had compiled a list of about 31 street locations where patch work was needed. He added he had signed a contract with Brown County Asphalt of the Georgetown area for $24,676.80 for that

project.

The village administrator mentioned he had signed a $4,000 contract with DS 2 Architects of Maysville, Ky., to put together a bid packet on the village's Paving Project for 2010.

Bids are scheduled to be opened at 1 p.m. Monday, Aug. 9.

Jones reported streets to be paved this year include Stoneybrook Drive, Indiana Avenue, Home Street, Banting Drive, Marshall Avenue and South Apple

Street.

He mentioned as well he is still working on a Line Painting Project for this year, which will include crosswalks, stop bars and center/edge lines throughout Georgetown.

Jones also reported the Ohio Department of Transportation was proposing to resurface a portion of U.S. 68 within Georgetown in 2011, but it was necessary for the village council to give its consent, which the council did.

GEVS District ends fiscal year with about $1.7 million School lunch prices will be same this year as last

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Georgetown Exempted Village School District ended the 2009-10 Fiscal Year on June 30 with nearly $1.7 million in its coffers.

District Treasurer Eric Toole provided GEVS District Board of Education members a report about the district's finances at the end of this past fiscal year at their regular meeting July 14.

Toole reported the overall budget for the just-ended fiscal year ended up with $1,685,621, the General Fund ended up with $870,175, and the Food Service Fund ended up with $54,308 at the end of the district's second year in its Cafeteria Point of Sale system.

Under that program, students may have monetary accounts set up by which their school lunch costs can be deducted.

Toole said that system, which provides greater privacy to students going through the lunch line, also enables cafeteria cashiers to know which students are receiving free or reduced lunches. He said participation in free

lunches provided in the district has increased after the State of Ohio automatically authorized that free lunches be provided to students from families receiving public assistance.

School board members at that meeting also approved school lunch prices for the 2010-11 School Year with those prices to remain the same as they were last year.

Georgetown Elementary School students will pay $2.25, Georgetown JuniorSenior High School students will pay $2.50, and adults at both schools will pay $3.

Students who qualify for reduced lunch prices will pay 40 cents for their lunches at both schools.

The board also approved a $337,753 contract with the Brown County Educational Service Center in Georgetown to provide all of its needed services to the GEVS District during this new fiscal year, which began July 1.

Following an executive session, board members took the following personnel actions: • Employed David Whittington as a Georgetown High School science teacher

and Jacquelyn Schneider as a district music teacher for the new year under a one-year contract each.

• Employed Kim Griffith as a district case manager under a one-year contract.

• Amended the contract awarded June 28 to Intervention Specialist Aubrey Bolender to place Bolender on Step 3 of the salary schedule.

• Increased Technology Administrator Gar Siegla's contract by an additional five days at his per diem rate for the 2009-10 School Year only.

• Accepted the resignations of Jonathan Tomlin as a GHS and physics chemistry teacher, Jennifer Shively as a general music/choir teacher (as well as her resignation from an extra time contract), and Racheal Osman as GHS junior varsity girls basketball coach.

• Approved Osman as the GHS Learn and Serve coordinator for the 2010-11 School Year.

Also at the meeting: • The board approved the transfer of $6,000 per month during Fiscal Year 2010-11 from the General Fund to the Termination Benefits Fund.

• Board members approved an August fund-raising project with Great American Opportunities and the GHS

Letters to the Editor

Strong words from Hart supporter Dear Editor, When a democratic government has conspired against its citizens, a relentless downward spiral to tyranny has begun.

Michael Hart, a fellow entrepreneur and bicycling enthusiast, is now incarcerated (against his will, of course), and will be until October, without bail, in Brown County. His felony crime? Insisting that his rights be observed by those sworn to uphold the law. His expecta-

tions are reasonable: keep roads in Brown County safe for all human travelers. Five years of being ignored, besmirched, coerced, threatened and sued caused his demeanor to degrade. Don't blame him. None of us knows how we would handle the frustration caused by marginalization. These negligent and contemptuous officials, elected and appointed, attempted to rid themselves of Mr. Hart.

It didn't work.

Doubt existed in my mind

Reader celebrates his relationship with God Dear Editor, Last week I wrote about having a personal intimate experience with God. In the book of Matthew, chapter 11 verses 28-30 Jesus gives us a wonderful invitation: ‘Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’

The key here is learn.

When we learn more of Jesus and draw closer to Him, life gets easier. When we come to Jesus with our cares and burdens, He takes them from us and gives us His peace and rest. A relationship cannot be one-sided. We have 2 ears and 1 mouth, we need to listen twice as long as we pray. And yes, God does speak to people, we just miss out on listening.

Pastor Daniel L. Lawson The Russellville Christian Church

regarding Michael's wild claims. Had I not faced an eerily similar, badly handled event less than a year ago, that doubt would remain.

Favoritism, placation and ignorance were the inappropriate methods used to sweep aside my report of a lifeendangering illegal act. Lives are at risk while people legally travel the roads of Brown County. I will act appropriately. Some irresponsible fellow citizens are emboldened by their perceived ‘entitlement’.

This impudence is nauseating and will not be tolerated.

In a heinous act of abuse, Jessica Little, Margery Paeltz, Ralph Jennings, Bill Geschwind, and Alan Corbin have evidently teamed up to destroy a business and a life in Brown County. Scott Gusweiler stuck his nose in where it didn't belong ...

AGAIN. Recuse means recuse! There is no doubt in my mind that others are involved. They plotted, waited for an opportunity — then pounced. Had you officials “done the right thing” and preserved impartiality as the basis of law years ago, this situation would NOT have festered. You serve us. We need not kowtow to you. Get that straight.

Experiencing new things a joy for Chatfield professor Dear Editor: Experiencing new things in life is always a joy for me.

Introducing people to new things and new ideas is an even greater joy.

Recently, I went to the Art Museum of Cincinnati with a group of my Chatfield students, many of whom had never experienced a trip to an art museum or gallery.

Watching their expressions and hearing their comments made me realize how very important it is for an instructor to allow for his student to

get outside the classroom in order for the educational experience to be more complete. Talking about ideas is simply not enough - they have to see, taste and feel as well.

It’s sad to realize the extent of cultural deprivation among people today when there really is no excuse for such a thing to exist to this great of a degree. Much of this deprivation can be easily corrected.

There is so much out there which is either free to the public or easily affordable.

All one has to do is avail him-

self/herself to the opportunity.

At one point, I had several students who balked at the idea of ever going to an art museum or to a live theatrical performance. Their excuse was that only the “upper class, high-toned people” attended things like that, the kind of people who look down on people like us. These same students now go regularly to the museums and to performances at Playhouse in the Park, even taking their families along for a day of cultural stimulation. This is very rewarding for me.

Don’t be shy about doing something different, just for the sake of allowing yourself a chance for some personal growth. Go to an art gallery, take in a museum, go to a live concert of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra or the Cincinnati Opera, or try out the Playhouse in the Park. If you do, chances are you may see fit to go again - and you’ll be that much more refined in your tastes because of the experience.

Make some plans to spend a day or two this summer taking an opportunity to grow culturally. It’s a wonderful investment of your time and it will add some depth to your character.

Parade and Celebration are slated Sept. 11 in Sardinia Citizens Walk, which will commence at the Sardinia Life Squad at 157 Winchester St. and end at Sardinia Veterans and Community Park behind the Sardinia Public Library at 13309 Purdy Road.

An Opening Ceremony also is slated at 2 p.m. Events scheduled at the park will include a Squirt Gun Fight at 3 p.m., a Cornhole Tournament at 4 p.m., a Kids' Watermelon Eating Contest at 6 p.m., a Scavenger Hunt at 7 p.m. and a Giant Bonfire at 10 p.m.

As part of their vote regarding the Sept. 11 Celebration, council members approved the Committee's use of the park; authorized Sardinia police, fire department and life squad personnel to be on hand at the park; and approved the blocking of sections of Winchester Street and

Delinquent Ripley taxpayers may be subpoenaed in future

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The agency that administers the Village of Ripley's income tax may issue subpoenas to delinquent taxpayers in that village in the near future.

At their regular meeting Aug. 10, Ripley Village Council members heard first reading of a resolution authorizing the village to enter into a Subpoena Program with the Brecksville-based Regional Income Tax Agency.

The resolution mentions a service offered by which RITA will issue subpoenas to taxpayers who fail to file an annual tax return with the Village of Ripley. Those subpoenas will instruct such delinquent taxpayers to appear at the Ripley Community Building or another location with their tax records in order that auditors can complete tax returns for those taxpayers on behalf of RITA. Each subpoena will cost the Village of Ripley $8 with the cost to be deducted from the tax distribution payments

remitted by RITA to the village.

Village Solicitor Jay Cutrell informed council members he thought the Subpoena Program was a good idea and worth trying for one year.

He said the village has had a history of non-filing taxpayers and Ripley will “not get anything out of them unless you put pressure on them”.

Ripley residents, whether they work in or out of the village, and non-residents who work in Ripley pay a 1 percent income tax to the village.

Ripley Tax Administrator Kim Spiller said residents must file a tax return with the village as well as any non-residents who work in the village but don't have Ripley income taxes withheld, such as some self-employed contractors.

Employees who work in the village but live outside Ripley don't have to file a tax return with Ripley if their village income taxes are withheld by their employers, Spiller reported.

Also at last Tuesday's meeting, council members

adopted a resolution accepting the amounts and rates of operating funds as determined by the Brown County Budget Commission and authorizing necessary tax levies and certifying them to Brown County Auditor Doug Green.

The amounts include 1 mill for the General Fund (inside the unvoted 10-mill limit from taxes collected on properties in the village) and 7 mills from voted levies (outside the 10-mill limit).

The levies include 2 mills from a continuous fire protection levy approved by voters on May 3, 1994; 4 mills from a continuous fire protection levy approved by voters on Nov. 7, 2000; and 1 mill from a five-year fire protection levy approved by voters on Nov. 4, 2008.

Council members suspended the rules so that resolution could be adopted on its first reading rather than after three separate readings.

The council's next regular meeting is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 24, in the Ripley Community Building on Waterworks Road.

Clermont Co. septic hauler sued by County Health Board

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Brown County Board of Health has filed a civil complaint in Brown County Common Pleas Court against a Clermont County business which allegedly hauled away sewage in Brown County without a license.

The defendant is Leslie Hess, who reportedly is doing business as Les's Septic Tank Service with an address of 1873 Laurel-Lindale Road, New Richmond.

Hess is mentioned in the civil complaint as being the owner and operator of Les's Septic Tank Service, which is described as being a “septic hauler” required to maintain a

Acre yield data deadline extended Ohio Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director, Steve Maurer, announced that the deadline for 2009 production certification to comply with ACRE has been extended until Sept.

1, 2010.

The extension is for completing both the farm benchmark yield (2004 through 2008) and the actual farm yield (2009). Participants in the 2009 ACRE program must certify their yields by COB September 1, 2010 to remain eligible for ACRE benefits.

Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office if they have additional questions or need further information.

septic hauler license issued by the Health Department of each county in which Hess conducts business.

The defendant allegedly on or about this past June 28 pumped sewage at an identified Sterling Township residence (Williamsburg address) and hauled it away. The plaintiff claims that defendant was not a licensed septic hauler in Brown County on that date and also was not at the time the civil complaint was filed on Aug. 5.

The plaintiff asks Brown County Common Pleas Court to issue a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the defendant from operating

his septic hauler business in Brown County unless and until he secures the issuance of a Brown County Health Department license.

The plaintiff also seeks a $100 per day civil penalty against the defendant for each day he allegedly is in violation of not having a septic hauler license; an assessment of the costs of the court action to the defendant; and any other relief the court may deem justified to grant.

A civil complaint or lawsuit list only a plaintiff's allegations and is no indication in itself that a defendant actually is guilty of the charges filed against him or her.

son the deficit resulted was continued payments for expenses connected to the 2009 Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration.

He said he hopes the Committee and the Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration effort eventually may operate with a budget “in the black” as a result of fund-raising projects planned between the annual June festivals, such as the Sept. 11 activities, and the possible obtaining of one or two major corporate sponsors for the Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration.

Cassidy also passed out copies of an Income Statement concerning the 2010 Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration.

The Committee's checking balance before the festival was $1,600, but the total revenue rose to $14,884 following cash donations from 28 merchants; donations of merchandise from 27 merchants; fireworks donations; donated services included 180 hours of police coverage; event revenue; booth rentals; and a 15 percent share of carnival ride income. which the Expenses, Income Statement also detailed, totaled $20,719, however, leaving the Committee's finances at a $5,835 deficit following this year's festival.

A “First Annual 9/11 Parade and Celebration” with the theme “Let Freedom Ring” is scheduled Saturday, Sept. 11, in Sardinia.

At their regular meeting Aug. 9, Sardinia Village Council members unanimously approved the special event after Council President Greg Cassidy brought up the idea.

Cassidy served as chairman of the 2010 Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration Committee and said the Sept.

11 event is aimed as both a fund-raising project for that committee and as a way to remember the events of Sept.

11, 2001.

On that date nearly nine years ago, thousands of innocent people died when terrorists flew hijacked airplanes into both towers of the World

Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., outside of Washington, D.C. Other innocent people died when passengers on a hijacked airplane crashed in a rural Pennsylvania field after those passengers prevented those terrorists from reaching their intended target.

“The motivation for the (Sept. 11, 2010) Celebration is to recognize Sept. 11, 2001, as one of the most important dates in American history...a day when our country was violated, a day that marked the beginning of a new way of life, a day that caused a renewed sense of unity and patriotism to sweep over our nation,” Cassidy said at last Monday's council meeting.

The Celebration planned for the second Saturday in September will kick off at 2 p.m. with a Parade and

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Dorothy Eisenberg ruled July 29 in favor of the $26 million sale of Ohiobased newspaper chain Brown Publishing Co. to a group of company insiders led by current President and Chief Executive Roy Brown and two of his top executives, including Ellingham, The Associated Press reported.

Eisenberg ruled that Brown Media Corp. could purchase the majority of the Brown Publishing Company chain for $22.4 million and also approved the purchase of two of Brown's Ohio newspapers, the Van Wert Times and the Ada Herald, to Delphos Herald, Inc., the AP said.

Eisenberg reject the sale of three real estate parcels in Ohio. Brown Media was the lone bidder on the properties, offering $10,000 for parcels in Urbana, Xenia and Bellevue, according to reports. These properties were valued at several hundred dollars, and thousand Eisenberg said they had not been properly marketed for the highest possible sale price.

According to Bloomberg News (www.bloomberg.com), "The official committee of creditors with unsecured claims opposed the real estate sale, claiming that Brown accepted the $10,000 bid for three parcels even though they might be worth more than $555,000.

Where Families Are Joined At The Heart.

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Georgetown Village Council members acted at their regular meeting on July 22 to improve their village's wastewater treatment system.

Council members adopted three resolutions regarding funding the village is seeking for wastewater treatment system improvements.

One authorizes Mayor Dale Cahall to apply for, accept, and enter into an Ohio Environmental Protection Water Agency/Ohio Development Authority Water Pollution Control Loan Fund agreement on behalf of Georgetown for construction of the Possum Run Pump Station Sanitary Sewer Overflow Elimination Project.

Another resolution authorizes Cahall to apply for, accept, and enter into an OEPA/OWDA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund agreement on behalf of the village for design of the Town Run Pump Station SSO Elimination Project.

The Possum Run Pump Station near Green Acres Subdivision off Free Soil Road and the Town Run Pump Station behind the Brown County Fairgrounds are aimed at reducing the amount of excess water, such as rain water, that doesn't need to be treated but yet enters the wastewater flow that is to scheduled to be treated at Georgetown's wastewater treatment plant.

Run Pump Station SSO Elimination Project between Georgetown and OWDA. That resolution stated OWDA had indicated its willingness to make a loan for Georgetown to finance costs on that pump station's design.

Village Administrator Kelly Jones informed council members the village was going with OWDA, rather than OEPA, on obtaining a design loan, even though the OWDA loan would have a higher interest rate. That decision was based on the fact OEPA wouldn't have its loan available until December, but the village should have the OWDA loan by sometime in July or August.

The two OEPA/OWDA Loan Fund Agreement resolutions also stated the village would be able to repay Water Pollution Control Loan Fund moneys it would receive from revenues generated from Georgetown wastewater customers.

Also at that council meeting: North Main Street resident Bill Cornetet expressed his concern about the apparent speeding of some Georgetown Life Squad ambulance drivers.

“Some of these people need to be slowed down in some way, shape or form,” Cornetet said.

He said he appreciates the work the Life Squad does in saving lives. He said if anything happened to him or his wife where they would need the Life Squad's services, he would hope the Life Squad would reach him or her as fast as possible “but not at the expense of someone's life”.

Jones said he would talk with some appropriate people concerning Cornetet's concerns.

Missouri Avenue resident Luther Shaffer expressed his concern about Georgetown residents who allow clippings and leaves from their yards to blow on to neighboring streets without cleaning them up.

Shaffer said he would like council members to give

thought to an ordinance to address such matters.

Chief Forrest Police “Buddy” Coburn said Georgetown police have “no teeth to enforce anything” regarding clippings and leaves on the streets without an ordinance addressing those problems.

Coburn said when police are called about those problems they have to treat them as complaint issues.

The chief commented while clippings and leaves on the street may not be aesthetically pleasing in a neighborhood, “Is it illegal? No.” Cahall asked the council to leave the clippings and leaves problems as complaint-oriented calls for now and see if police can address them that way (rather than through a new ordinance).

SHE BELIEVED PART I Look with me in the book of Joshua chapter 2. If you will remember Moses was not allowed to enter into the promised land, although he did get to look into it. But ladies and gentlemen, when you stop to think about it, Moses was 120 years old. Although he did not get to enter the promised land he entered into a higher promised land. The heavenly one is the one that we are looking forward to and one which Moses entered into. With God there is not disappointments. Now here in chapter 2 of Joshua the children of Israel had traveled forty years in the wilderness. They had left Pharaoh’s Egypt, some of them reluctantly, and after being in the wilderness all that time they began to wonder why they had ever left. If it had been put to a popular vote they would have returned to Egypt. However, God had encouraged Moses to press on, not to quit or to give up. He was to lead the people for their own good and he did. Now Joshua is in charge. He sent two men in to spy out the city of Jericho, which sets right on the edge of the Jordan River. When the two spies went into the city they entered into a house which sat upon the outer wall of the city. This house belonged to a harlot named Rahab. Someone reported the spies to the king and he then sent soldiers over to check it out. Rahab told the soldiers that the spies had been there but that they had left. In reality she had hid them under some stocks of flax which were upon her roof. Then she intentionally misdirected the soldiers and told them to hurry and they could overtake the spies. Verses 8-10 tells us that before she retired for the night she went to the men which were on the roof and told them: “..I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.” She

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com was talking about something which had happened 40 years earlier. It is doubtful that this young woman was 40 years old.

But the word of these events had been passed down and she believed them. We have people today which doubt about it with this young woman. The army of Israel was about to descend upon her city. Look at verse 11: “And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.” Whoa! What a testimony of this young woman!

She was convinced that the God of these men of Israel is the God of heaven above and the God of the earth beneath! Had someone been talking to this young lady of Jericho? Had someone told her about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Or had she just heard the stories and made up her own mind? Had the Spirit of God been witnessing to this woman and confirming these reports? No matter how it was that she came to believe in the God of heaven and earth, that belief caused her to take action when these men came into her home. I wish we believed that in America today. I wish all the politicians, all the Congress, the Senate, and the President knew and recognized the fact that our God is the God of heaven above and God of the earth beneath!

God does not change. He said: “...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” When will we ever learn to fear God? Will the world ever become as smart as this young lady of Jericho? I doubt it. I will continue this next week.

leges that are experienced in similar programs. Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that combines community service and classroom instruction, with a focus on critical, reflective thinking and personal and civic responsibility.

More than half of the nation’s 1,200 community colleges offer service learning as part of students’ course work.

UC Clermont College and other grantees are leaders in one of the most exciting concepts in postsecondary education,” said Gail Robinson, national director for AACC’s Horizons project. “The work these colleges are undertaking will benefit both the colleges and their communities by teaching students the importance of civic engagement and

service as an integral part of the learning experience.”

Specifically, funding from the Horizons grant will be used to transform traditional science classes into service learning classes as well as to involve faculty, students and the community in Earth Day activities. A large community garden will be planted on Earth Day and all harvested vegetables will be donated to area food pantries.

Discussions are underway to offer an environmental summit as part of the grant.

“This unique opportunity will enable us to expand service learning into additional science courses as well as to focus on environmental education, said Barbara Wallace, director of service learning at UC Clermont and coordinator of the grant. “Students will

do meaningful service in the community, meeting identified needs. Faculty look forward to involving their students and teaching them that they can make a real difference in the community,” said Wallace.

The eight Horizons mentee are: Ashland colleges Community and Technical College (Ky.), Cape Cod Community College (Mass.), Johnson County Community College (Kans.), Miami Dade College (Fla.), Milwaukee Area Technical College (Wis.), Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (Wis.), Oakton Community College (Ill.), and University of Cincinnati – Clermont College (Ohio).

Sardinia Council adopts two fiscal resolutions

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Sardinia Village Council members adopted two fiscal resolutions at their regular meeting Aug. 9 at the Sardinia Life Squad Building.

One resolution authorized transfers of funds as they relate to changes in Sardinia's Annual Appropriation Ordinance.

The resolution authorized Sardinia Fiscal Officer Karen Miller to deduct $12,755 from seven different funds and add the deducted $12,755 to eight different funds.

The largest interfund transaction described in the resolution was for $3,100 while the smallest was for $30.

The resolution was adopted as an emergency measure meaning it will take effect at the earliest time allowed by law. The resolution also stated it would enable Sardinia's village government to remain on

a sound fiscal basis.

The other resolution adopted by council members accepted amounts and rates of operating funds as determined by the Brown County Budget Commission and authorizing necessary tax levies and certifying them to Brown County Auditor Doug Green.

The amounts include .8 mill for the General Fund (inside the unvoted 10-mill limit from taxes collected on properties in the village) and 6.8 mills from voted levies (outside the 10-mill limit).

The levies include 4.8 mills from a continuous police levy approved by voters on Nov. 4, 2003, and 2 mills from a fiveyear fire protection levy approved by voters on Nov. 3, 2009.

Before voting on each separate resolution, council members suspended the rules so each could be adopted on its first reading rather than after three separate readings.

Local bus drivers receive annual service learning

BY Justin Houser Press Contributor Annual service learning for local bus drivers started bright and early at the Brown County Fairgrounds August 3 and 4, 2010.

Split up between two days, about 300 bus drivers took part in mandatory service learning sessions.

Their first session covered injuries, usually life-threatening, that the Air Evac Lifeteam responds to. The Air Evac Lifeteam is a dedicated team of local nurses and pilots that air-lift patients to Cincinnati-area hospitals in a specialized medical helicopter.

“The helicopters can manage speeds anywhere from 110 to 140 miles per hour,” flight nurse and session speaker Dan Rauh said, “We can get to places much faster than a ground unit can.”

Those on board the helicopter were Jason McCain (flight paramedic), Jeff Albright (pilot) and Dan Hayden (flight nurse).

Their second session covered first aid and what bus drivers should do in cases where first aid can be administered.

West Union man receives two-year prison sentence Brown County Court of Common Pleas Judge Scott T. Gusweiler sentenced James Bennington, of West Union, to a two-year prison term for Gross Sexual Imposition Aug. 3. A grand jury indicted Bennington in February on one count of Gross Sexual Imposition.

Bennington entered a plea of guilty to the charge. After taking into consideration his lack of prior record, Gusweiler sentenced Bennington to two years in prison. Judge Gusweiler classified Bennington as a Tier II Sex Offender. He will be required to register bi-annually as a sex offender with the sheriff’s office for twentyfive years.

Their last session brought in the big guns. Literally. The Mt. Orab S.W.A.T. team worked together and put on a live demonstration on how a raid on a school bus would be performed.

DPL Killen Station supports the troops For the fourth time in as many years, Killen Station employees participated in a month-long drive to collect items and donations to send care packages to soldiers currently serving in Afghanistan.

Employees brought in much-needed items, such as deodorant, shampoo, razors, hand sanitizer, wet wipes, bug repellent wipes, sunscreen, beef jerky, and trail mix among many other needed items. Employees also made monetary donations, which went to buy more items and to pay for the shipping.

“We were given a list of an entire unit consisting of 89 soldiers,” said Linda Kirschner, materials processor, who coordinated the drive at Killen. “Of these 89 sol-

diers, 40 do not receive mail or packages of any kind.

Killen was able to send packages to 10 of these soldiers with the donations we received.”

In addition, 21 soldiers were “adopted,” which means that some employees agreed to send their soldiers care packages and cards or letters on a regular basis. Linda points out that, “the Post Office has flat rate boxes for our service men and women, so you can ship the largest box they have—as full as you can get it—for $12.50.”

If you are interested in “adopting” one of the 19 remaining soldiers, contact Linda Kirschner @ 937-3924215 or 513-967-2341.

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

Sean Mc Manes and his parents, Bill and Kathleen Mc Manes were the guests of honor at the Russellville Kiwanis Club. Sean was the winner of the Kiwanis Safety Poster Contest held at the Elementary Russellville School.

Besides the poster clearly expressing an important safety message, Sean also put to work his artistic skills to get the message across.

The Kiwanis club would also like to thank all the other 5th graders at the Russellville Elementary School who entered the contest. We also acknowledge the efforts of the second place winner, Cassie Winterod, and third place winner Jayelyn Ramey.

The Russellville Kiwanis Club thanks the community

Pregnancy Resource Center sets walk for life

Ripley Boy Scout honored for work restoring cemetery

The Pregnancy Resource Center announces its 17th annual Walk-for-Life on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2010 at the St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Mt. Orab. The PRC Walk-for-Life serves a two-fold purpose. One—it raises the community’s awareness of the effects of abortion on all involved: mother, father, child and the entire extended family.

Two—it serves as a fundraiser to provide needed funds to continue providing services for the families of infants and toddlers in Brown County and surrounding communities.

Participants in the walk will receive prizes for taking part, prizes will also be awarded to those who collect the most money in youth, teen, adult male & adult female categories. The PRC also sponsors a Poster Contest. Prizes are awarded based up on pro-life message and walk theme. You may contact the PRC (937) 3786853 for more details on the Poster Contest.

The Pregnancy Resource Center is a non-profit life affirming organization that provides services for women in the midst of unplanned pregnancies. The mission of the PRC is to provide the opportunity for women involved to keep and parent their baby. Services available include free pregnancy tests, information regarding fetal development and choices available for women and families in the midst of pregnancies. unexpected Families are given an opportunity to earn items such as a car seat, crib, blankets, a “shopping trip” at our Baby Boutique and many other needed supplies and baby equipment. Services are available to all expectant mothers and families with infants and toddlers in Brown County and surrounding communities. Families may come to the PRC to

receive emergency supplies of diapers, wipes, formula and baby food. Also available is clothing for size Newborn to 4 Toddler. Both mothers and fathers are invited to take advantage of PRC services, as are grandparents and others who may have custody of infants and toddlers.

Although all services are provided free of charge, clients participate in parenting and relationship classes in order to earn the items needed. This gives them the knowledge that they earned what they received and they also receive important parenting skills.

The PRC receives no government funds: city, state or federal. It is funded entirely with private donations, and fundraisers. Donations of cash as well as baby supplies such as diapers, wipes, formula, baby shampoo, lotion & wash are always welcome.

New or gently used baby equipment such as infant and toddler car seats, cribs, swings, etc. are also appreciated. The PRC is located at 852 Mt. Orab Pike in Georgetown, Ohio. It is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Wednesdays from 2 a.m. to 6 p.m. The PRC also offers hours from 2 - 6 p.m. at the Mt. Orab Church of Christ, 400 Smith Avenue in Mt. Orab, Ohio.

Clients may call for an appointment (937) 378-6853 during regular office hours.

Walk-ins are also welcome, but those with an appointment take priority.

Members of the Brown County communities are invited to join the PRC in supporting the needs of expectant mothers and families with infants and toddlers. Please call the PRC to receive information about how to join the Walk-forLife.

2008 SURE deadline to apply for payments announced The State Executive Director for Ohio's Farm Service Agency (FSA), Steve Maurer, would like to announce that producers have until Thursday, Sept.

30, 2010, to submit an application for payment under the 2008 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program. There are no provisions for late-file applications. Applications not filed by COB September 30, 2010, regardless of the reasons why, will not receive a payment because of lack of funding. SURE provides financial assistance for crop production and or quality losses due to a natural disaster.

“We want producers to be aware of this deadline so they are certain to visit their FSA county office to file a 2008 SURE program payment application no later than September, 30, 2010,” said Maurer. “It is important to finish the current 2008 SURE program sign-up because the authority for the Recovery Act supplement

for payment benefits expires at the end of the current fiscal year and the Department of Agriculture will then start the 2009 SURE sign-up application process.”

FSA began accepting and processing 2008 SURE program applications in January 2010, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) allowed for a one-time increase in the calculation of 2008 SURE payments that are filed by Sept. 30, 2010.

Producers who do not file a 2008 SURE program payment application by Sept.

30, 2010, will not be considered eligible for 2008 SURE program payments.

Producers are encouraged to file an application for 2008 SURE payments regardless of whether they think they may or may not qualify. Additional information regarding the SURE program is located at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FS A/sure , or producers can contact their local FSA office.

Old West Festival crafters This year The Old West Festival is reaching out to increase the artisans and crafters that join the family fun event. For 2010 there will be two options for artisans/crafters to assist in a tough economy.

The first is a traditional fee per weekend option with discounts for demonstrating and length of stay. The new option is gathering a lot of interest, and that is a percentage option. The vendor simply pays a percentage of their gross sales.

The 2010 dates for The Old West Festival are September 11, 12,18,19,25,26, October 2,3 and 9,10. As in the past there is all day entertainment, gunfights, can-can dancing, melodrama, medicine show, period music, food and vendors.

He said the next phase of his project was to develop a well-defined entrance to the cemetery with a sign so the cemetery would be more visible from the nearby road and so visitors would have a better idea where the entrance was.

“I think we have corrected it (an apparent absence of a defined entrance way) so people can access it (the cemetery) better.”

His third and final phase of his project was to craft and print up a small brochure with three photographs of tombstones and information about the Old Ripley Cemetery.

That brochure informs its reader the grave of James Poage, the founding father of Ripley, is located in that cemetery.

It also states, among other information, “The Old Ripley Cemetery has many excellent examples of symbols on the gravestones. Additionally, there are many graves of Revolutionary war veterans which gives the Old Ripley Cemetery an important place in the history of Brown County, the State of Ohio as well as the nation.”

However, we’re setting up for one of the stormiest and coldest winters in a long time across the United States and we can’t let a warm summer lull us into thinking that winter might be mild.”

they do not need this vaccine, but must show proof of vaccination to the school nurse.

The health department thinks this is a good opportunity to receive other recommended vaccines.

Another new requirement for the kindergarten students is a second dose of Varicella (chickenpox) is required for enrollment, as well as the fourth dose of polio be administered on or after the fourth birthday.

It states “it has been brought to the Board’s attention that you failed to ensure that evaluations were conducted on an administrative employee during the 2007-2008 and 20082009 school years. This prevented the Board of Education from considering the renewal or non-renewal of this administrator’s contract and it resulted in an automatic two year contract being granted to the administrator by operation of law.”

The administrator in question is Lola Royalty, PreSchool Education Director for Western Brown and the spouse of Jeff Royalty.

Royalty said that he knew from the beginning that it would be improper for him to evaluate his wife.

In a written statement provided to the Press, Royalty said that two positions within the district, the EMIS Coordinator and the PreSchool Special Education Coordinator, did not receive evaluations.

Regarding the Pre School

Education Special Coordinator, Royalty said in his written statement that “(she) is responsible for executing the procedures called for by both state and federal law” and that “a number of specific events are called for by the law along this timeline and are reported to the Ohio Department of Education.”

His statement continues “Any violations or missed timelines would result in findings against the district and the potential loss of education funding.

This has never occurred in the area of Pre School Special Education.

The (letter of reprimand) refers to my action keeping the board from considering a non renewal, but why would that be an issue since non renewals are done for poor job performance.”

Royalty also points out that any employment contract with Western Brown was recommended by a board member and “never once have I recommended that she be given a contract.”

On March 15, the Western Brown School Board issued a

Fayetteville Athletic Complex nearing completion

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

The new football/soccer field, complete with lights and irrigation, should be ready for games in the fall of 2011.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Fayetteville Athletic Complex is nearing completion as the new school year is set to begin.

“The weather backed them up a little at the beginning,” said Fayetteville Co-Athletic Director Dave Tatman. “right now, the (Phase I) punch list is set for Sept. 3 through Sept.

9.”

The first contests of the 2010-2011 school year will be played in the spring, starting with baseball and softball. The soccer teams will play at their previous location and the foot-

ball team will play its home games at Goshen High School this fall.

“The grass needs to be sewn and we need two seasons of growing for the football and soccer field,” said Tatman.

The soccer games and football games should start to be played at the new facility in the fall of 2011.

In 2005, a 5.9 mil, 28-year collection levy was passed to fund the project, which was scheduled to be built in phases.

“Phase I is nearly complete,” said Tatman.

“Depending on what funds are left will determine what can

get done in Phase II.” The complex will operate with temporary storage and concession facilities until Phase II work can begin.

“We have the utilities hook ups in place for those two things, along with water run for the dugouts,” added Tatman. “Right now, the football/soccer field has irrigation.

The baseball and softball fields have the hookups in place for irrigation in the future.”

The track, which circles the football/soccer field, will have a final coat of asphalt, but the rubberizing of the track would have to take place in Phase II.

Plans for the new Fayetteville Athletic Complex.

Permanent bleachers, concessions, rest rooms and some of the track pits are also part of Phase II. Because of recent cuts in the general operating budget for the upcoming year, Fayetteville is charging an activity fee for athletics, most clubs and other organizations.

“We’ve already seen an influx of students who want to participate here, which is a positive side of this,” said Tatman. “If you are able to maintain a few teachers because of this (facility), athletics is helping education.”

As for the financial future progress of the complex, the

newly named co-athletic director is open to options.

“Grants have dried up in our economy, so we’ll have to see,” said Tatman. “We would welcome a private donor to come in and help finish the project.”

Voorhis, Slone, Welsh and Crossland did the architecture and design for the project.

H.C. Nutting did the geo-technical work. Cox Paving is handling the general contracting work at the new facility.

The original contract price was $792,826 for the completion of Phase I. “We had some change orders and added some safety

lighting and some paving that weren’t part of the original price,” said Fayetteville Superintendent Roy Hill. “The final price of Phase I plus the changes should be in the vicinity of $830,000.”

Both administrators agreed that the project was long overdue and that it would benefit the entire Fayetteville community.

“In towns of this size, the school truly is a community center,” said Hill.

With the new school buildings and a new athletic complex, the Fayetteville community should be proud.

By Ritchie Butler and Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press The Brown County community lost a familiar face from the coaching box when Jimmy Young lost his lengthy battle with cancer Aug. 9.

Those who knew Jimmy well and worked with him over the years took some time to reflect on his time spent roaming the sidelines.

Jerry Underwood, coach of the Georgetown G-Men, worked with Jimmy for 15 seasons as he served as an assistant and junior varsity coach at Georgetown High School.

“He loved the game of basketball, and we were very fortunate to have him,” said Underwood. “He was one of, if not the best, guys I knew. He always helped come up with schemes for our different personnel.”

Outside of their professional relationship, Underwood spent a lot of time with Jimmy the last 17 years.

“Jimmy is a part of our family, and we have some great memories,” said Underwood.

“He was happy-go-lucky and had a lot of energy. We always had a good time.

“Our staff has always been close and everyone, players and coaches, enjoyed being around Jimmy. He always made it fun coming in and getting ready for practices.”

On his passing, Coach Underwood knows that Jimmy will always be a part of their program, mentioning that “we know that he is feeling fine after his hard fight”.

Mt. Orab Middle School Athletic Director Blaine Wallace was a classmate of Jimmy's in the Western Brown High School Class of 1978.

“Jimmy was a very dear friend,” Wallace said, mentioning how they played Knothole baseball together as boys and then played basketball together all four years at WBHS. He also said about his high school friend and teammate, “He lived life to the fullest.”

Wallace said Jimmy was a “very high energy guy” who got the most out of every day.

He said Jimmy was still just that way the last time he saw him.

Southern Hills League Commissioner Jerry Lewis coached Jimmy's basketball team at Western Brown. Lewis described Jimmy as a great team leader and floor general at the point guard position.

“He was a person you could just put the ball in his hands and knew he would make the right decision,” the former WBHS coach recollected.

Lewis said Jimmy wanted success for his team as a whole and knew what to expect from each of his teammates on both offense and defense and knew many times how to get the ball to just the right player for on-the-court success.

The Sixth Annual Bronco 5Run/Walk at Kilometer Western Brown High School on Aug. 7 had its biggest participation ever, Event Coordinator Jim Neu reported.

One hundred fifteen competitors completed the course including 79 runners, 35 walkers and one wheelchair participant.

Neu, who is the Western Brown High School cross country coach, said the total number of finishers this year was about 30 higher than the 2009 event. He mentioned the highest total finishers in previous years numbered somewhere in the 80s.

The first three male runners, first three female runners, and first three walkers, regardless of gender, received plaques, and the wheelchair finisher received one in his category as well.

Neu said the number of medals awarded to finishers who didn't receive plaques was based on the number of entries in a particular age and gender division with about half the participants in each division receiving ribbons.

For example, if a certain age group of male runners had four participants, the two top finishers would receive medals while if a certain age group of female runners had six participants, the top three finishers would receive medals.

Neu said, “Everything ran smoothly for the most part,” in this year's Bronco 5K Run/Walk in Mt. Orab. “The weather cooperated, and we did well financially.”

He said the event raised $1,815 before expenses were subtracted, and that amount

did not include contributions from sponsors.

The money goes toward college scholarships for former WBHS cross country runners. Neu said this year's recipients are 2009 WBHS graduates Brianna Cecil and Megan Wright while last year's recipients were J.T. Olson, a 2008 graduate, and Samantha Robinson, a 2007 graduate.

Former Bronco cross country runner Blake Jones, 27, a 2001 WBHS graduate who lives in Portsmouth, won the Male Runner Division and the overall Bronco 5-K Run this year with a 15:49 time while Olson, 20, of Mt. Orab, placed second in the Male Runner Division at 15:58 and Court Lilly, 32, of Cincinnati, placed third at 16:20.

Bri Tudor, 18, a 2010 WBHS graduate from Mt. Orab, won the Female Runner Division with a 20:24 time and was the 16th-top overall finisher. The second and thirdplace finishers in the Female Runner Division, respectively, were Emily Thompson, 22, of North Bend, who placed 25th overall with a 21:07 time, and Shelby Gibbons, 17, of Hamersville, an incoming WBHS senior who placed 26th overall at 21:10.

The three top respective walkers were Darell Grooms, 43, of West Union, 34:05; Bernie Cropper, 59, of Georgetown, 35:59; and Jeff Jablonski, 57, Mt. Orab, 36:31.

Tony Cooper, 45, of Williamsburg, the lone wheelchair competitor, completed the 5-kilometer course with a 55:19 time.

Western golf getting Mt. Orab Mavericks win city championship into swing of things

The Brown County Press/RITCHIE BUTLER

Western senior Cole Kirkpatrick hits a shot during a scrimmage with Glen Este. Kirkpatrick was an All-SBC performer last season.

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Broncos golf team has been busy preparing for the season. The Broncos have had practices and scrimmages during the first two weeks of the preseason and things are coming together, despite the extreme heat they have had to deal with recently.

“A couple of players are playing well,” said Western coach Dave Bickett. “Overall, we’re struggling a little bit.”

One of the kids playing well is first-team SBC performer from a year ago, senior Cole Kirkpatrick.

“Cole is playing well right now,” said Bickett. “Justin

(Nickell) is coming off an injury, but he’s working on his game. The rest of the kids are getting there and we should be fine when the SBC rolls around.”

And that is soon. The Broncos open up the regular season on Monday, Aug. 16, taking on Bethel at White Oak Golf Course. the second match is the annual Eastside Classic, which will be held Tuesday, Aug. 17, also at White Oak. The Eastside Classic features eight teams from the former Clermont County League.

“We play some good competition,” added Bickett. “The SBC should be very competitive this season. Amelia, Bethel, New Richmond, Goshen, CNE and us should be in a tight race.”

Thus far, the team has scrimmaged at Friendly Meadows, White Oak and Deer Track.

“We played better at Deer Track,” said Bickett. “We’re coming along.”

In the first game on the last day of the city finals, the Mavericks trailed 7-5 heading into the final inning. Led by run-scoring triples by Scotty Ryan and C.J. Knight, the Mavericks plated five runs, wrapping up the victory.

The Mavs continued with hot bats in the final game, pounding out a total of 28 hits

Remembering Jimmy Young CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 He went on to describe Jimmy as a model athlete who was coachable and dedicated to efforts to make his team the best it could be, putting his team above any individual accomplishments he might achieve for himself. “He exhibited the drive to be a winner, to do things right.”

Lewis said his observations of Jimmy's work as an assistant coach was that he was an excellent coach and a motivator who demanded a lot from his players. The former WBHS coach said if he still was a basketball coach, he would want Jimmy on board as an assistant.

Lewis said he feels Jimmy's talents as an assistant coach were very valuable and no doubt contributed a lot to the 2006-07 Georgetown High School varsity boys basketball team's Division IV State Championship in March 2007.

Jimmy's survivors include a son, Jarett, who is GHS' junior varsity basketball coach and a Georgetown Elementary School physical education teacher. Lewis noted he could see a lot of good qualities in Jimmy's son that had been passed down from his assistant coach dad.

“He will certainly be missed,” Jimmy's former coach said. “He was very wellrespected. He was an excellent man.”

Jimmy’s last stint as a basketball coach came on the sidelines at his alma mater. For parts of the last two seasons, Jimmy was an assistant at Western.

“It was great having Jimmy, especially my first year as head coach,” said Western

coach Doug Williams. “Jimmy jumped in with both feet from the beginning. He is the only guy I’ve met who loves the game as much as me. So we really clicked. He was not afraid to offer up his opinion. I liked that.”

Last season, Coach Young did not spend time on the bench with Williams, but he did make several appearances at practices.

“Jimmy would sneak into practice and bring that energy he had for as long as he could,” said Williams. “I remember a few late night calls I placed to him. He never complained that it was too late to call. We could talk basketball for hours.”

James “Jim” Alan Young, 50, of Bethel, Ohio, died Aug. 9, 2010, in Cincinnati.

Mr. Young was born Jan. 25, 1960, in Georgetown, Ohio. He was a highway technician for the Ohio Department of Transporation and an assembler for the Milacron company.

In addition to his son, Jarett Young of Georgetown, Ohio, Mr. Young is survived by his wife, Peggy S. Young; his mother; and four sisters.

Funeral services for Mr. Young were held at 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 12, 2010, at Western Brown Middle School in Mt. Orab. Ohio.

Memorials may be made to the Jim Young Basketball Memorial Fund at First State Bank in Mt. Orab or Georgetown.

“By now, true baseball fans know the Mavs were no mere ‘flash in the pan’ team,” said head coach Bruce Wallace. “It has been a pleasure to watch this group of young baseball players develop into outstanding young men, playing the game hard, but always with class and character.”

Annual Menard Scholarship Tournament July 31 was a beautiful, comfortable day for playing the 10th Annual Rebecca Menard Scholarship Softball Tournament.

Eleven mixed couple teams played in the event held at Ogden’s Softball Park. Each team played three games to determine division winners and provide four semifinalists. It took over 20 games of hard play and tough competition to reach that point.

In two excellent semi-final games, Jive Turkeys squeezed by Swaggers, 11-9, and Hartman and Smith won over Sluggers and Slackers by a count of 12-5.

The finals were great. Jive Turkeys scored a run with two outs in the seventh inning, tying the score at 3-3. Hartman and Smith plated two runs in the top of the eighth, taking a 5-3 win and the championship.

The tournament sponsors are very grateful to all who helped make this event a success. Sincere thanks to the Ogdens, teams, umpires, donors, volunteers and others who contributed in various ways. Their efforts in helping provide funds for a scholarship for a deserving Western Brown female scholar-athlete is greatly appreciated.

By Mike Goins Moler Raceway Park C.J. Rayburn’s National All Star Racing Association series made their second appearance at Moler Raceway Park on Friday with 32 cars on hand vying for the 20-car starting lineup.

In heat race action it was Skylar Marlar, Justin Ratliff, Eric Wells and Wayne Chinn taking heat-race wins while Mark Frazier and David Webb each took a B-main victory. At the drop of the green flag, it was Cambellsville, Kentucky’s Ratliff out front and Winfield, Tennessee’s Marlar in second. With cautions for spins on lap five and then again on lap eight, it was easy to see that the man on the move was Lawrencburg, Indiana’s Jason Jameson, who had started 12th but by lap eight was up to sixth. On the restart, it was still Ratliff out front with “The Sniper” Chinn taking over the second position. On lap 19, there was some slight contact between the two leaders that allowed Jameson to pass them both and take over the top spot.

From there on, it was Jameson out front with Chinn in tow as they put on a furious battle

throughout the second half of the race. With two laps to go, Chinn starting suffering a flat tire, which allowed Jameson to take the 40-lap feature win.

The win was Jameson’s sixth feature win on the season at MRP, but his first ever NASRA feature win in his City of Lawrenceburg sponsored machine. Ratliff came home second with Victor Lee, Chinn and Eric Wells rounding out the top five positions.

A 29-car field of Mt. Orab Ford Modifieds were on hand, and it was Dave McWilliams, Devin Gilpin and Troy Whitaker claiming heat-race wins. Ryan Morton took the B-main event. In the feature, it was Gilpin jumping to the lead but McWilliams was right behind him. A restart on lap 17 allowed McWilliams to jump to the outside and take the top spot away from Gilpin.

Another restart with two laps to go, gave Gilpin a chance at returning the favor, but despite getting to the outside of McWilliams at the white flag, it was not to be as McWilliams, driving a brand new Bad Fast chassis courtesy of L&M Performance in Bethel, Ohio, taking home the checkered flag. Gilpin came home second with Barry Doss,

Derrick Davis and Shane Mugavin rounding out the top five spots.

In the Holman Motor Chevettes, it was another full field of cars on hand with Rusty Yarger and Josh Francis taking the heat-race wins, setting the starting lineup. In the feature, it was all Yarger as he took the lead at the green and led all 15 laps, taking his first feature win of the season at MRP. Miles Tarvin came home second with Francis, Jeff Watson and Sean Jones rounding out the top five spots.

In the US Race Gear Street Stocks, it was Mark Kaetzel taking the heat-race win and leading the first five laps of the feature, but it was Jeremie Bretz coming on strong and taking the lead and the feature event win. It was his eighth feature win on the season in the H&H Continuous Guttering, Git-R-Done Graphics sponsored machine.

On Aug. 13, MRP will host the U.S. Race Gear Street Stock Special, paying $600 to win.

Aug. 20 is the 4th Annual Victor “Ike” Moler Memorial with Late Models paying $3,000 to win. You don’t want to miss this one.

Cougars look to defend OCAC title

The 2010 UC Clermont Cougar volleyball team. Front row, l-to-r, Becca Walton, Cindy Votel, Rachel Ferguson and Lauren Bradford. Back row, l-to-r, Courtney Abbott, Courtney Davis, Rachel Hays, Emily Rogers-Fightmaster, Sarah Shumate and Andie Pepper.

Fresh from a history-making appearance in the Final Four of the 2009 United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) national championship tournament, the UC Clermont volleyball team has begun preparations for the 2010 campaign. The team starts play with an August 24 Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference (OCAC) match at Southern State Community College. The Cougars look to defend the firstever awarded regular season OCAC title they captured in 2009.

The Cougars joined the OCAC last season on a provisional basis while maintaining their long-standing membership in the Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC). After winning the title in both conferences and figuratively “retiring the trophy” with six consecutive ORCC championships, UC Clermont has moved exclusively to the OCAC, a conference of schools mostly aligned nationally with the USCAA. The 2010 version of the Cougars will look a little different with the addition of five newcomers to a core of returning players.

“As with any new group, the style of play and strengths of a team depend on the abilities each individual brings to that team,” said UC Clermont Head Coach Joe Harpring. “I expect

strong group of freshmen is a tribute to the outstanding achievements of the 2009 squad and the exhaustive recruiting work of our assistant coaches,” said Harpring.

In addition to a full OCAC schedule, UC Clermont will face teams from the USCAA and NCAA, as well as a few old rivals from the ORCC. The Cougars will travel to Pittsburgh in August for the Penn State University-Beaver tournament.

Invitational Clermont will also host two trimatch events (the UCC Volleyfest and the Cougar Classic) as well as the annual Tailgate Party game and grillout.

“Our success this season will depend on two factors: how quickly our new players mesh with our veterans and how well we defend the various types of offense we will face,” said Harpring.

Head Coach Joe Harpring is in his seventh year as head coach. He spent three years as a UC Clermont assistant coach, 17 years as a club volleyball coach and he has a Level II CAP certification from USA Volleyball.

In his prior six years as head coach, his teams compiled a 101-44 record, won six consecutive Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) West Division titles, secured one Ohio Regional Campus State Championship and captured the first-ever regular season title in the inaugural year of the Ohio Collegiate Athletic Conference.

The 2004 conference championship was the first in the history of the Clermont volleyball program. In 2006, the volleyball team achieved another first.

The Cougars received a bid to the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) National Championship Tournament. The team has been selected for four consecutive national tournaments and

capped the 2009 season with an appearance in the Final Four.

Among other honors, coach Harpring’s players have earned eight USCAA All-American, six conference Most Valuable Player and 21 First Team AllConference awards. Three of his former players have been inducted into the UC Clermont Athletic Hall of Fame. Coach Harpring was also inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.

Coach Harpring has also served as a Junior Olympic volleyball coach for 17 years – currently with the Greater Miami Volleyball Club in Milford.

This club has supplied many past and current UC Clermont players. He holds a Level II certification from the USA Volleyball Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP).

Prior to joining the volleyball coaching ranks, Harpring coached girls’ soccer for 10 years at Summit Country Day and Dixie Heights High Schools. While he coached and assisted at Dixie Heights, the girls’ soccer team captured six Regional Championships and advanced to the Final Four in Kentucky’s first-ever State Championship Tournament.

Recent graduate and new UC Clermont Hall of Famer Kelley Koons moves from the court to the bench this season as she joins former Cougar great Meagan Ooten on the coaching staff.

Leading the Cougars in 2010 is a trio of talented juniors: 5foot, 8-inch” setter/outside hitter Lauren Bradford (Norwood H.S.), 5-foot, 4-inch” defensive Cindy Votel specialist (Bellevue, Kentucky) and 5foot, 11-inch” outside hitter Sarah Shumate (Lawrence County, Tennessee). They are joined by a group of sophomores who blossomed during their first year of collegiate volleyball: 5-foot, 11-inch middle hitter Rachel Hays (Amelia), 5foot, 8-inch setter Courtney Davis (Western Brown) and 5foot, 7-inch outside hitter Rachel Ferguson (Norwood).

Three of these returnees earned All-Conference honors in 2009 (Bradford, Votel and Hays), with Bradford also achieving USCAA Honorable Mention All-American status.

An impressive group of recruits joins the team this season. These newcomers include 5-foot, 8-inch setter/outside hitter Courtney Abbott (Little Miami), 5-foot, 3-inch setter/defensive specialist Becca Walton (Mother of Mercy), 5foot, 9-inch outside hitter Andie Pepper (Western Brown and Ohio University transfer) and 6foot, 1-inch middle hitter Emily Rogers-Fightmaster (Seven Hills).

Mitchell completes North American Riding for the Handicap Association Certification (NARHA) Dan Mitchell Manager at Cherry Ridge Stables and President of the Ohio Therapeutic Horsemanship Program of Georgetown, completed the 1.5 year certification program set forth by the North American Riding for the Handicap Association. This association has the highest equine standards set in the US. The certification required Mitchell achieve a 90 percent or above on 2 online tests for Horsemanship Skills and NAHRA standards for riders with disabilities. He then had a year to complete 30 volunteer hours and 25 teaching hours under a NARHA certified instructor. Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship on Rt 50 in Milford helped Mitchell through the required mentoring process. July 29 thru Aug 1, 2010 Central Kentucky Riding for Hope located at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. hosted the 4 day Onsite Workshop and Certification for 8 participants. The testing required Mitchell to write lesson plans and demonstrate his ability to teach it to riders with disabilities while completing all required safety checks that meet the NARHA standards and complete the lesson plan with measurable results. He also had to demonstrate his riding ability by riding a given pattern that showed diverse riding skills and his suitability to teach those skills. He came thru with flying colors and was highly encouraged to work on the Master Level of certification. Mitchell already teaches a variety of riders at Cherry Ridge Stables and now will be moving forward with the Ohio Therapeutic Riding program and holding classes in September. Programs of this nature take many volunteers to safely and successfully teach a class. There is no horse experience directly needed to volunteer, just a heart to want to help others! Anyone interested in helping or participating in anyway should contact Dan Mitchell at danielpaulmitchell@yahoo.com or (513) 543-8138. For more information on the program please visit www.cherryridgefarms.org.

New Beechmont Toyota now open Toyota buyers can now enjoy the “ultimate experience” in customer service at Beechmont Toyota’s new cutting-edge facility. Beechmont Toyota is announcing that its new relocated dealership and showroom are now open to the public. The new dealership is located at 8667 Beechmont Ave., a mile and a half east of their previous location. The Dealership’s grand opening will occur later this fall.

DAVID DUGAN 770 and there are several large greenhouses. At the Raines farm we will be looking at sucker control. With the reduced permitted residue levels for MH, we are looking at Offshoot T (Fatty Alcohol) and Butralin in combination with Royal MH 30. We have conducted 5 different applications or product combinations on 14 x L8, NC 7, and KT209 to see what the response is on different varieties. This will also be the location for the meal. We plan to eat around 5:30 p.m.

We will then travel to the Ripley area to the John Paul Haitz farm where we will see research done for both Black Shank and Fusarium Wilt.

These two are often confused in tobacco fields. The Haitz Farm is located on Eagle Creek Road between Scoffield and North Pole Road just east of Ripley along Eagle Creek. Dr. Seebold will discuss both diseases at this stop.

From that point we will head toward Georgetown.

There is another Black Shank trial on Straight Creek that has been conducted with Jeremy Helbling. Time permitting we will make this stop on the way to our final stop for the day which is the Hall-Ring Farm. The plot is on Shaw Road a couple of miles south Georgetown off of Free Soil Road. There we will be another fertility trial demonstration here that Dr. Denton will discuss. We will also look at Quadris that has been applied at lay-by for control of target spot and the prevention of blue mold. Dr. Seebold has done some research with different rates.

This idea of using Quadris may be worth looking into.

The rate that showed the best results for the money was 8 ounces per acre. There will

be tobacco on several stops on this tour that have had an application of Quadris at lay -by, and some that has not.

The product will run over $300 per gallon, but you are looking at 16 acres per gallon. At $320 per gallon you are looking at $20 per acre plus the application cost. It does not take much tobacco to pay for that even at $1.50 per pound 20 pounds of additional yield would be $30.

This tour should be very informative for tobacco growers that are going to continue to grow the crop.

We are very fortunate to have two tobacco specialist involved with the plots that we have in Southern Ohio.

Chemtura Chemical Company is sponsoring the meal and the sucker control products.

Southwest Landmark and Cherry Fork Farm Supply helped sponsor the fertilizer for the fertility trials.

In order to get a close count on food we would like for you to register before noon on Monday, August 16th. Call (937) 378-6716 or e-mail me at dugan.46@osu.edu and let me know how many plan to attend.

Master Gardeners on Tuesdays Remember that on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. until early afternoon, a Master Gardener Volunteer will be in the office to assist with questions. If you have plants, fruit, or other gardening samples that you would like for someone to take a look at plan to bring them to the OSU Extension Office located on the Brown Co. Fairgrounds during this time.

You can also call the OSU Extension Office at (937) 378-6716.

The Mt Orab Garden Club would like to extend a special thank you to those who opened their home gardens for the 2010 Home Garden Tour, participating businesses and all the volunteers who worked to make the tour a huge success.

The Home Garden Tour was held Saturday, July 17. The Mt Orab Garden Club was excited to have the opportunity to showcase some lovely home gardens in the village of Mt. Orab and the historic Mt. Oreb Depot. It was a self-guided tour, ranging in size from small backyard/patio gardens, to ornate landscapes and vegetable gardens. Even mother nature cooperated by providing a much needed rain shower in the morning so that the gardens did not have to be watered at the last minute. On this very warm, sunny day, there was a strong turnout; over 70 people toured the home gardens, some traveled from Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

We received many positive comments about each location.

Both new and avid gardeners came away with new tips and ideas for their own backyard oasis.

Our special thanks to those individuals who opened up their home gardens for all to

Garden Tour” a huge success CMYK

Tobacco Field Tour I have had some information in a previous article the past couple of weeks or so, about the upcoming Tobacco Field Day/Night Tour. Here are some more details about what will be happening on Aug. 17.

We will begin the tour at 2 p.m. in Blue Creek at Jack and Bryan Hazelbaker’s tobacco patch which is located on SR 125. The patch is on the south side of SR125 at the intersection of Hazelbaker Road. Dr. Paul Denton, University of Kentucky and Tennessee Tobacco Specialist will be on hand to discuss the fertility trial that we have conducted this year. There are several different levels and application times to look at and discuss at this patch.

From there we will travel to Churn Creek Road where we have a Black Shank Trial with George Miranda. Dr. Kenny Seebold, Tobacco with the Specialist University of Kentucky will be on hand to discuss the varieties and disease pressure. Plastic boots will be provided to prevent the spread of the disease to other farms.

We will then head to Seaman, Ohio to the Raines Farm which is located 2667 Nichols Ridge Road. Nichols Ridge is off of SR 770 just a couple miles northeast of Seaman. The farm is approximately 3 miles off of SR

our rocket. The church’s praise band provided live music for all the kids VBS songs they had learned that week. The favorite was “Blast Off” which had everyone singing and dancing to the moves of the song. We would like to thank all those who helped with the week and all the families that par-

ticipated.

Our next community dinner and outdoor festival will be Aug. 28, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will have free food, kid’s games, crafts and live music from local bands, musicians and singers.

Everyone is welcomed to come and enjoy the afternoon with us.

August is breastfeeding Could it be poison ivy? awareness classic, words of wisdom sayB Faye Mahaffey ing; “leaflets three, leave it Brown County Master be”.

Gardener Volunteer month Control of poison ivy Y

August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month (BAM) in Ohio. Governor Strickland is urging all Ohioans to support breastfeeding. This year’s BAM theme, “Breastfeedingjust 10 steps the baby-friendly way,” focuses on 10 evidencebased hospital practices that support new mothers’ breastfeeding intentions. Hospitals play a vital role in the establishment of breastfeeding. The Adams-Brown Counties WIC staff would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Brown County General Hospital for the concern and care they have provided over the years to our WIC participants. We appreciate their support for our breastfeeding mothers and babies.

Health care facilities that have instituted all the 10 steps to successful breastfeeding are certified as “baby-friendly” hospitals. Currently in Ohio, there are three certified baby friendly hospitals.

Breastfeeding provides better health outcomes than formula feeding for both the mother and baby. Exclusive breastfeeding for six months, beginning with the hospital birth experience, is the ideal recommended by pediatricians.

Upon hospital discharge, mothers need support within the community. The AdamsBrown Counties WIC is pleased to serve as a breastfeeding resource in Brown and Adams Counties and encourages healthcare providers to refer their breastfeeding mothers and babies to our services.

For more information about breastfeeding, please call the Adams-Brown Counties WIC offices at (937) 3796 (Adams) of (937) 378-6030 (Brown).

A few weeks ago I went hiking with a few friends and was shocked to learn that two of my friends couldn’t identify poison ivy growing in the woods! The Buckeye Yard and Garden Line reports that poison ivy colonies seem to be everywhere this year.

Poison ivy needs no special introduction. Skin contact with this plant’s oils causes an allergic dermatitis on many people. The resinous compounds known as urushiols are responsible for the inflammation of the skin along with the accompanying blisters and itching. These compounds are in all parts of the plant and lend creditability to people who say they get poison ivy just by looking at it. Urushiols are said to remain active on dead plants for over a year; for this reason and obvious possible inhalation hazard, it is not recommended one burn poison ivy vines.

This deciduous woody vine can reproduce itself from seeds, creeping roots, and stems that readily put down adventitious roots. When it grows as a climbing vine, poison ivy develops aerial root hairs. Mature vines look like a hairy rope, and may cause us to recall the advice we may have received as children from our outdoor elders; “Don’t be a dope, don’t touch the hairy rope.” It is a native plant to eastern North America. The foliage has three leaflets with toothed, lobed or entire margins (leaf edges) that are somewhat elliptical (egg-shaped), attached to a central petiole with petiolules (leaflet stalks).

This description may have jogged the memory of another

depends on how well the plant is established. Post-emergence herbicide products labeled as brush killers are effective with one application on newly sprouted seedlings.

Established plants will require multiple applications, each time allowing the plant to reestablish its foliage before spraying again. Another method is known as slash and squirt. This requires the applicant to cut clean or gouge the bark of an established vine and apply the herbicide directly to the stump or wound of the plant.

I have noticed more poison ivy plants in my landscape this year. I am one of the lucky people that doesn’t get a bad reaction to poison ivy, but I still don’t take any chances. I use extreme care when pulling plants and disposing of them.

I hope that my friends will be able to hike in the woods with confidence now that they can point out the “leaflets of three” on the poison ivy plant!

Health department offering food course The Brown County Health Department will be offering a ServSafe food handling course this Thursday and Friday August 19 and 20 from 8am to 4pm at the Georgetown Jr Sr High School. The cost of the class is $125.00 per student. Upon passing the test a certificate in safe food handling will be given. Please call the Health Department with any questions or to register at 937378-6892.

Creature Feature August is feline preventative care month

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN Vaccinations to prevent the following infectious diseases are available.

Rabies is caused by a virus that attacks the brain.

It is readily transmissible to humans and pets by the bite of an infected animal such as raccoons, skunks, foxes and bats. In somes cities, rabies vaccination for cats is required by law.

Panleukopenia, also called fenline distemper, is a highly contagious, often fatal disease. It is especially dangerous to kittens.

Symptoms include vomiting, loss of appetite, high fever and depression. It is not transmissible to humans or dogs.

Feline leukemia is caused by the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). FeLV is one of the most common causes of illness and death in cats. It is a cancer-causing virus that often suppresses the ability to fight infections. Kittens can be born with the virus.

Cats can often have the virus for years before showing symptoms. Kittens and cats should be tested for FeLV prior to receiving a FeLV vaccination. FeLV is not transmissible to humans or dogs.

Rhinotracheitis resembles the common cold in people, but it can cause serious problems for kittens and older cats. It is marked by sneezing, fever, loss of appetite, inflammation around the eyes and ulcers in the mouth. It does not cause disease in humans or dogs.

Calici virus infection has symptoms similar to rhinotracheitis. Health adult cats usually recover from it.

Kittens and older cats are at a greater risk of serious complications. It does not cause disease in humans or dogs.

Pneumonitis in cats is caused by Chlamydia Psittaci. Symptoms are similar to those of rhinotracheitis and calici virus infection. Feline Chlamydia infections can be spread from cats to people.

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a progressive and fatal disease. It is a serious problem in many catteries and multi-cat households. A vaccine to protect cats from it was recently introduced.

Should I Have My Cat Vaccinated For Rabies?

Yes, definitely. As a matter of fact, it is a Clermont County law to have both your cats and dogs protected from this fatal disease.

Besides being a county law, it is important because pets (and especially cats) are more likely to encounter

rabid animals than people are. Most human rabies is caused by encounters with domestic animals and not wild animals, therefore, we vaccinate our pets to protect ourselves. Interestingly, cats have more reported rabies cases than any other domestic animal. This is a direct result of cats habit of wandering, hunting, and interest in moving or injured animals. Despite these laws, in 1991 the number of reported rabies cases more than doubled in Ohio. Laws requiring vaccination of cats against rabies are important to obey.

Dr. Dan Meakin is the owner of All Creatures Animal Hospital, 1894 Ohio Pike in Amelia. Call (513) 797-PETS.

August is Feline Preventative Healthcare Month All Creatures, in conjunction with our on-site, no-kill shelter, Friend's of Noah, offer a Spay/Neuter assistant program.

Vouchers are available by stopping in at the front desk at ACAH. Simply fill out the form and return to our practice. Feline Spay is $42.00, Feline Neuter is $32.00 (if you are low income and have been accepted into program).

Stop in today, any of our staff can assist you in your endeavor to keep the feline population under control, and help eliminate the needless euthanasia of hundreds of kitties each day or visit www.all-creatures.com.
