Varnau suit against Wenninger dismissed

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press An Ohio Appeals Court has ruled in favor of Brown County Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger in the latest twist of a long-running lawsuit.

Independent Sheriff candidate Dennis Varnau filed a protest in 2008 with the Brown County Board of Elections challenging Wenningers qualifications to hold office.

That challenge set off a running two year legal battle.

In the opinion issued on August 16, the three judge panel from the Twelfth District in Appellate Middletown said that Vaunau’s arguments “lacked merit” and

Sheriff Dwayne Wenninger

upheld the request for Summary Judgement of the

case that was made by Wenninger’s attorneys in Common Pleas Court.

A Summary Judgement is a decision by a judge that the facts presented do not require a trial.

Even though the ruling was in Wenninger’s favor, Varnau said “This case is not over by a long shot.”

Varnau said that he plans to file a Motion for Relief of Judgement with the court.

If that motion is denied, Varnau said he will take the matter to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Wenninger said “I always felt confident we would prevail” and added “I just think he’s a sore loser”, referring to

Varnau.

Wenninger continued that if Varnau wants to be Sheriff he should “throw his hat in the ring and try again.”

For his part, Varnau said “As a litigant in this case, my opinion is that as a matter of law, Wenninger is not the Sheriff and never has been.”

He added that he disagrees with the Court’s decision and “I believe there is nothing in the record that supports giving Wenninger a Dwayne Summary Judgement.”

In his complaint, Varnau said Wenninger lacked the educational qualifications to be Sheriff that are required by Ohio law.

Varnau also filed a Writ of

Quo Warranto, a legal challenge to Wennenger’s right to hold the office of Sheriff, in February of 2009.

In that complaint, Varnau sought to have Wenninger removed from office and to have himself appointed to the position.

In the ruling, judges cite case law concerning county boards of elections and their responsibilities.

“A county board of elections is responsible for determining whether, on particular facts, a person satisfies the qualifications...for the office of county sheriff”, the ruling states.

It continues “We find it readily apparent that the Brown County Board of Elections pre-

viously determined Wenninger satisfied the necessary requirements...to be elected Sheriff in 2000, 2004 and 2008.”

The ruling then cites a letter sent to Varnau by the Brown County Board of Elections that read in part “The Board further believes that it has been put on notice that the qualifications of Dwayne Wenninger have been challenged...this board will conduct an independent investigation into Dwayne Wenninger’s qualifications to run for the office of county sheriff.”

The ruling states “There is nothing in the record to suggest the Board did not conduct such an investigation prior to acceptCONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Western Brown Principal hired as SHCTC Sup’t

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Western Brown High School Principal Kevin Kratzer will be the new Superintendent of Southern Hills Career and Technical Center.

The SHCTC School Board voted Monday, August 16, to offer Kratzer the job.

Board President Roger West issued the following statement to the Press, “In anticipation of Superintendent Dr. Charles Guarino's retirement on December 31st, the Southern Hills Board of Education

spent the past three months in a focused search for his replacement.

The Board received 15 applications and interviewed 7 candidates. The Board had a challenging task with so many qualified candidates. Kevin Kratzer, WB HS Principal, was selected as best fitting the needs of Southern Hills at this time in our history. He will take office on January 1, 2011.

Dr. Guarino has been a tremendous asset to Southern Hills as Superintendent. The Board looks forward to working with Mr. Kratzer and building upon our current successes.”

Kratzer echoed those sentiments, saying “I’m looking forward to working with the the staff and faculty to continue to build programs that more students in Brown County can take advantage of”.

Kratzer also referred to his new position as a “great career opportunity” and said it would allow him to spend more evenings at home with his family.

Kratzer said his time as Western Brown High School Principal has been “fantastic” and said that he enjoyed working with “a great group of people.”

Brown County students G'town council approve electric rate hike heading back to school

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press

Electric rates will rise for Georgetown customers about mid-September following action by Georgetown Village Council members at their regular meeting Aug. 12.

Council members voted 4-2 to adopt an ordinance increasing those rates following third reading of that proposed measure.

Council President Drew Watson and councilmen Daryll Gray, Steve Triplett, and Dennis White voted to adopt the ordinance while councilmen Tony Applegate and Chris Renshaw opposed it.

In a telephone interview in early July, Village Administrator

Kelly Jones said the village hasn't had an electric rate increase in 16 years.

Jones said the rates of about a 10 percent increase established in the new ordinance are set to help ease customers into some new rates that definitely are scheduled for 2012 so the full impact of those increases isn't felt at one time.

He also mentioned how the village's electric costs are going up 24 percent in 2012 and added he wasn't certain whether Georgetown would pass all those costs on to electric customers.

Georgetown will contract with Dayton Power and Light beginning Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012.

The village council voted ear-

lier this year to contract with DP&L at the beginning of 2012 rather than with current contractor Duke Energy.

Jones said DP&L had presented better rates to the village.

The rate hike ordinance sets forth the following rates: Net monthly winter rates (January through May and October through December): 7.469 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 1000 kWh and 4.982 cents for each additional kWh with the minimum bill being $3.96.

Net monthly summer rate (June-September): all kWh at 7.469 cents per kWh with a minimum bill being $3.96.

Net monthly rate for energy CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Thousands of students will return to classes this week for the start of the 2010-11 School Year in Brown County's five public school districts and at Southern Hills Career and Technical Center in Georgetown.

While students in four districts and those attending SHCTC will begin classes this Monday, Aug. 23, Georgetown Exempted Village School District students won't return to their

schools until this Wednesday, Aug. 25.

Superintendents at the districts commented about the start of their new school years in interviews last week.

Eastern Local “Classrooms are ready.

Teachers are working hard. I predict it's going to be a good year,” Eastern Local School District Superintendent Alan Simmons said in an interview following the Eastern Local School District Board of Education's meeting on Aug. 17.

A big change this year is

the housing of Eastern Local Middle School students in a section of the 1962 building that was the home of Eastern Local High School before another high school building was constructed in 1997.

The 1997 building housed ELMS last year after a new high school was opened north of and near ELMS on U.S. 62 in the Macon area.

A new ELMS building will be constructed on the current site where the 1962 and 1997 buildings are connected south of the new high school, and it CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

place in downtown Ripley.

The fireworks show is scheduled at dusk this Friday, Aug. 27, with a rain date of Saturday, Aug. 28.

This year's theme is “Celebrating The Tobacco Farmers”, When the OTF began during the early 1980s, Ripley was the site of the only burley tobacco market in Ohio. Brown County produces the most burley tobacco among the 20 to 30 Ohio counties where farmers

raise that crop.

While later changes in the tobacco industry resulted in an elimination of Ripley's uptown market and a move of most OTF activities to downtown Ripley, tobacco farmers in Brown County and other Ohio counties still labor hard to produce that crop and support their families.

Queen Contest Opens OTF The opening day's featured event will be the 2010 OTF Queen Contest at 8 p.m.

Thursday while the Opening Parade and Fireworks Show will be the highlight activities on Friday.

Maysville, Ky., resident Melanie Day, the 2009 OTF Queen, will crown her successor this Thursday on the Main Stage in downtown Ripley.

Children of all ages will have a variety of carnival rides to enjoy all four days at the festival. In addition to special events and contests, those attending the 2010 OTF will have a variety of merchandise booths at which to purchase souvenirs and useful items all four days as well as a large variety of the ever-popular food booths featuring delectable items ranging from pizza to hamburgers to ice cream to Cajun cuisine.

Pedigo Is Grand Marshal Ben Pedigo will be the 2010 OTF Opening Parade grand marshal this Friday.

Pedigo moved to Ripley in 1983 and resides there with his wife, Kim, and their children, Harrison, Katherine, and Grace.

In addition to the Opening Parade, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Elementary School on South Second Street in uptown Ripley, festival activities this Friday will include the Open Tobacco Judging and Show at 1 p.m. in the Front Street area; a VIP Dinner at Courts-Fussnecker Post 367 of the American Legion in Ripley, which will follow the Parade; and country music by David James and The Gang beginning at 7 p.m. on the Main Stage.

Race Kicks Off Saturday As usual, the Saturday of the festival is the most activitypacked of all, and the 5Kilometer Run and Walk will kick off this Saturday's activities with registration beginning at 7 a.m. and competition at 8 a.m. on Front Street, a change in location from last year's Main Street site.

Bluegrass Festival slated

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Banjo and guitar music will fill the Georgetown air this Thursday-Saturday, Aug. 26-28, as the 20th Annual Brown County Bluegrass Festival welcomes visitors to the Brown County Fairgrounds.

Eastgate area resident Don Morgan, an organizer of the annual music festival, said he has been involved with the event since its beginning.

Morgan said organizers chose the Georgetown site because of the way the performance area with a show ring and a grandstand is set up and the seating facilities for visitors. He also said it is handy for visitors because of shower facilities at the Fairgrounds.

The organizer also noted the Brown County Fair Board members work well with the Bluegrass Festival organizers.

The annual festival attracts many Bluegrass music enthusiasts to Georgetown – an estimated 3,500-4,000 last year, according to Morgan - and while some of them come from Brown County and other Ohio counties,

Stabbing suspect arrested On Aug. 12, 2010 Chief Caudill of the Winchester Police Department reported that at approximately 10:10 p.m. the Winchester Police Department was dispatched to a stabbing on Fairgrounds Ave. in the Village of Winchester. When Ptl. Liming arrived, he found the victims Chad Bradford and Taleah Bradford had been cut and stabbed. Chad Bradford sustained life threatening injuries and Taleah;s injuries were less serious. After an investigation it was determined that the suspect was Terry Shay Morgan, 19, Peebles.

On August 16, Morgan was arrested on felony warrants.

Charges were filed Aug. 13 through the Adams County Court. The Winchester Police Department were also able to locate the suspect’s vehicle in Ripley.

a large number of them are from other states. Morgan said the visitors who traveled the farthest last year came from Florida, and some other far-distance states represented included Georgia, Michigan, and Missouri.

The bands also hail from a number of states besides just Ohio. Morgan said this year's performers not only include some from the Buckeye State but also some from Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Maryland.

While some bands will perform Bluegrass gospel music, others will perform more country music-type songs. Performances will begin at 4 p.m. this Thursday and at noon Friday and Saturday, Aug. 27 and 28.

Thursday's scheduled artists include Friends in Bluegrass, Hazel Holler, Dixie Ryders, and Russell Moore and III Tyme Out. Performers scheduled to take the stage on Friday include Bobby Mackey and the Pine Hill Pickers, Big County Bluegrass, Tommy Brown and County Line, Bill Yates and Country, Gentlemen Tribute, Joe Mullins and Radio Rambler, and James King Band.

Bands slated to play on Saturday, the final festival day, include Crossroads, Wildwood Valley Boys, Tommy Brown and County Line, Big Country Bluegrass, Higher Vision, Junior Sisk, and J.D. Crowe and New South.

Morgan and other organizers commented the Brown County Bluegrass Festival has been noted for having the best Jam Sessions on the Bluegrass music circuit.

Morgan reported not only will there be music but also a number of vendors selling food or apparel souvenirs.

Tickets are $15 for Thursday, $25 for Friday, $30 for Saturday, $55 for all three days if paid in advance, and $60 for all three days if paid at the gate.

Communications tower to be built in Mt. Orab The Mt. Orab Village Council has given its blessing for an emergency communications tower to be constructed in that village.

That tower really will be beneficial not only for Mt. Orab but for all of Northern Brown County, Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford reported in an Aug. 18 interview.

Council members meeting in regular session Aug. 12 authorized Lunsford to enter into a free lease agreement with Columbus-based Multi-Agency Radio Communications System to con-

struct that tower on village property once the lease language was to the mayor's satisfaction and was approved by Village Solicitor Richard Goettke.

Lunsford said the property on which the tower will be constructed will be a 150-feet by 150-feet lot somewhere in the area behind Wendy's restaurant on Sterling Boulevard.

MARCS will spend $500,000 or more to construct a 250-feet high tower to improve communications for such emergency departments as police and firefighters.

Lunsford said the lease will be for approximately 25 to 30 years and will enable police, firefighters

New MO Elementary Drop off Procedure Mt. Orab Elementary School would like to make all parents, guardians and other visitors aware of its new Student DropOff Procedure along with the new parking area arrangements.

To allow a safer entry into school for MOES students who either ride a bus or are dropped off, the Western Brown Local School District along with the help of the Village of Mt. Orab created a new design for MOES parking areas.

Parents who are dropping off students in the morning will now come to the elementary school by way of Bronco Boulevard, which is located between the Cone Zone and the Western Brown District Offices. Parents and visitors will travel down Bronco Boulevard, turning right past the bus compound and then traveling behind the high school to the four-way intersection. At the intersection, parents who are dropping off students will turn left onto Campus Way and then take an immediate right turn into the West Parking Lot. Once in the parking lot, parents will follow the arrows around the perimeter of the lot to the designated drop-off area, which is located near the FourthGrade Entrance. Parents or guardians who are walking a child into the MOES are asked to park in the lot and check in at the office before continuing to their

The mayor said the new tower not only will benefit Mt. Orab but also such neighboring villages as

Police Chief Bryan Mount and other representatives of the village and MARCS are scheduled to meet on Monday, Aug. 30, to discuss the matter further.

As part of the lease agreement approved by council members, the Village of Mt. Orab has the right to

install and operate certain equipment on the MARCS tower provided that equipment is capable of being supported without additional structural modifications and won't interfere with MARCS' communications equipment.

St. Michael enrollment up as school year begins

$20 OFF

While Brown County's public school districts won't open their doors for the new school year until this week, classes began at St. Michael School in Ripley this past Monday, Aug. 16.

A great bit of positive news for the only Catholic school in Brown County is that its enrollment is up over last year.

St. Michael School Principal Sister Carol Ann Mause said 88 students are enrolled this year from prekindergarten through eighth-grade with some other prospective students still on a waiting list for admission.

Mause said 80 students attended St. Michael School during the 2009-10 School Year.

She said the school at 300 Market St. has 13 teachers this year and mentioned the institution of learning certainly has come a long way since it faced the possible closing of its doors a few years ago.

Mause added everything is going smoothly thus far at St. Michael School as the new year has gotten under way for more than seven dozen students.

“It has probably been the smoothest first day and first week anyone could ask for,” the principal commented.

Mause also reported the school will enter a float in the 2010 Ohio Tobacco Festival Parade this coming Friday, Aug. 27, in Ripley.

Classes run each school day from 8:05 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The

Once children have been dropped off, parents are to turn left out of the parking lot and go back to the four-way intersection and turn right onto Bronco Boulevard and leave the school grounds the same way they entered.

Parents and other adults who are picking up their child at the end of the day also will park in the West Parking Lot and enter the building as they have in the past by the Cafeteria/Gymnasium doors.

Western Brown school buses will come to MOES by traveling down Campus Way between Mt. Orab Middle School and Western Brown High School to the four-way intersection. Buses will turn right at the intersection into the East parking lot where they will unload.

The East Parking Lot is reserved for school buses 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m. Visitor and event parking is available in the East Parking Lot 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and after 4 p.m.

Anyone who has questions about the new Drop-Off Procedure or parking areas may call MOES at (937) 444-2528.

MOES and the Western District are excited about these new changes and the improved safety they bring for MOES students.

The Perfect Season-Jimmy Young Remembered Dear Editor, In basketball when the final buzzer sounds marking the end of the season, those involved experience a wide range of emotions. Happiness for the successes. Disappointment for the losses. Pride knowing you played the best you could. Regret for not running the plays that might have made a difference.

Determination to prepare and play better next season. But mostly sadness knowing that the team will never be quite the same again.

And so it is with the recent passing of Jimmy Young.

Happiness for his many successes on and off the court.

Disappointment that his life was so short. Pride because you know he played “the game” the best he could. Determination to prepare and play the rest of “our game” better. But mostly sadness knowing that our lives will never be the same without him.

But at the end of this season, no regrets! Jimmy is eight years my younger brother. I have watched him for fifty years…in the good times and bad…in the happy times and sad. And although he possessed a touch of negativity now and then (just a touch, Jay Chadwell!), Jimmy lived life to the fullest. And he did so right up to the end. (The nurses loved him and his jokes!)

Most of you know him as that “crazy basketball coach from Georgetown and more recently Western Brown.” He had a pas-

sion for the game beginning with his early playing days in the fifth grade to his refereeing to his coaching. He loved developing the plays. Outsmarting the opposition. Analyzing the competition. Helping players realize their potential. His eyes would light up when he told you what every one of his players could do well and not so well. And how he could help them improve.

But I know him just as Jimmy…my brother and my neighbor on Lake Grant Road.

His laughter and his passion were infectious. He was all about the good time (we had lots of them!). When those bushy eyebrows would rise, those eyes light up and that head cock to one side, watch out. He was planning something. The fun was about to begin, and you wouldn’t want to miss it.

If you knew of Jimmy, you have a story to tell. Some can be told publicly, and some not!

Stories about his family (Peg, Jarett and the rest of us) and his many friends, his childhood school days, Cincinnati Milacron (he loved those guys), more recently Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT-quite an adjustment for him!), vacations (especially the beach), motorcycle rides, gardening, and of course BASKETBALL (Mt. Orab, Georgetown, Mt. St. Joe, North Carolina and Western Brown).

Our family and circle of

Founders Day planner says 2009 was debt free Dear Editor: I would like to take exception to Greg Cassidy's comments concerning the expenses of the Founder's Day Committee as inherited from the 2009 committee. I am a former member of that committee, from 2005 thru 2009, and would like to clarify some items. When the 2009 festivities concluded, the committee had some debts to settle. During the simmer and early fall of 2009, we worked very hard seeking donations and having fund raisers to raise enough money to completely pay all bills from the 2009 fes-

tivity. Therefore, when we turned all festival material, including the financial statements, over to the new committee, we were debt free. There were no bills left to pay.

Therefore, when Mr. Cassidy states that "part of the reason the deficit resulted was continued payments connected to the 2009 Sardinia Founder's Day Celebration, he knew he was stating a falsehood. Therefore, he owes the 2009 committee an apology and it should be in print.

friends have certainly enjoyed hearing those stories during the past fourteen months when we began this final “competition”, and even more over the past few days as the “final game” came to a close. You will never know how much the phone calls, the cards, the flowers, the food, the hugs and kisses, the kind words, the knowing glances have meant to us. Mt. Orab, Georgetown and the surrounding communities have been so good to us. How fortunate we are to live in this area. As Jimmy said in his final letter left to us, “We are truly blessed.”

Many of you have heard the story about Jimmy telling the Georgetown High School basketball team before their final game at the 2007 state tournament, “Boys, 27-1 is not a bad record. Don’t worry about it.

Play and enjoy this final game.”

Of course, that group of boys took up that challenge, won the final game and ended with a 280 perfect season. No one was happier about that victory than Jimmy. A young man’s dream realized.

Like those boys, Jimmy took the challenge passed to him in

the spring of 2009 and completed his season this August. The buzzer has sounded. And it was a perfect season right up to the end. We’ll miss you, Jimmy.

The team will never be quite the same again.

WAYNE GATES, EDITOR stems from an incident with a loose dog in 2006.

Loose dogs can be a problem and their owners need to be held accountable when their animals bite or frighten someone, especially if the dogs leave their owners property to do it.

But the problem with this particular incident is that fact that it is, by law, a minor misdemeanor.

The statute of limitations on prosecuting such offenses is six months. That means since early 2007 or so, Jessica Little or anyone else couldn’t prosecute the case that Hart was upset about even if he or she wanted to.

Name-calling, profanity laced tirades and intimidating behavior can’t change the law.

Chuck Krainz of Sardinia wrote to the Press on August 15 that Hart was “insisting that his rights be observed”.

That can be done without breaking the law or being uncivil.

One of the things that led me to write this editorial were statements by Krainz such as “I will be in Georgetown soon”, “Get the next set of warrants ready” and “You will find Mr. Hart to be a mouse in comparison”.

Hart’s behavior was out of line and shouldn’t be encouraged or taken as an example to follow.

Even if we disagree with the decisions our elected officials make, we should treat them with respect.

What Do You Think?

“What do you like best about the Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show?”

Reader feels Michael Hart being mistreated Dear Editor, Two independent incidents have been reported recently in the Brown County newspapers that should make residents concerned about how this county is run, by whom, and to what end.

In one incident, Georgetown businessman Michael Hart got into an argument with Brown County Commissioner Ralph Jennings, and got front-page coverage in the Brown County Press. In the other—reported on page 3 of the same paper—an Aberdeen man committed multiple offenses, including repeatedly assaulting police officers. On one hand, these two events have nothing to do with each other, but it is interesting what we can learn about our Brown County officials if we look at how these events were handled.

Mr. Hart, for example, got in an argument with Mr. Jennings and would not permit him to leave the Georgetown UDF. In the Aberdeen case the police were sent to an address because of a report of a ‘physical domestic dispute,’ which included destroying property and assault of a woman. This man resisted arrest, repeatedly cursed at the officers, nearly kicked out the rear window of the patrol car, kicked an officer, had to be pepper sprayed, had to be placed in leg shackles and a hobble restraint, forced a suspension of the investigation at the scene because of his violent behavior, damaged the security divider in the car, caused the officer driving the police cruiser to wreck (damaging the car and placing the lives of the officers at risk), caused backup officers to be called to the scene, had to be hogtied to stop him from causing

further damage, spat on the officers, and had to be placed in a restraint chair once reaching the jail.

Which one of these men sound like a greater danger to you? If you suggested the Aberdeen case you gave the rational answer--which means that you wouldn’t cut it as a Brown County official.

In response to the incident in Georgetown Mr. Hart was charged with intimidation and unlawful restraint. The county put him in jail, denied any bail whatsoever, and ordered a competency hearing. The Aberdeen man was charged with damaging government property, assault, and vandalism. Yet amazingly he was released on his own recognizance (meaning there was no bail set at all) and was confined to his home.

Plain and simple: this isn’t about justice, it’s personal.

I encourage all readers of this paper to do their own research on the petty, parochial and privileged nature of some parts of Brown County politics, as well as any past incidents involving the people in question, and draw their own conclusions.

Please understand: I am not defending any action that Mr. Hart may or may not have taken.

Actually, this letter isn’t about Mr. Hart, and it certainly isn’t about the Aberdeen case either.

My real concern—and it should be yours, too—is the bizarre and significant differences in the way justice is dispensed in this county, if it’s dispensed at all. If you’re not aligned with those that pull the strings, what might happen to you?

A number of people have contacted me both online and in letters to the Editor regarding the treatment of Michael Hart.

Hart was arrested on July 21 after confronting Brown County Commissioner Ralph Jennings at the UDF near the courthouse in Georgetown.

Brown County Prosecutor Jessica Little tells me that Hart stood right beside Jennings and was yelling at him while Jennings was sitting in his car.

He apparently refused to step back so Jennings could shut his car door and leave.

Little tells me that she knows “at least a dozen” people that have been subject to Hart screaming profanities at them in their offices, on the street or wherever else he came across them.

Now, Hart is sitting in jail without bond awaiting a competency hearing on October 5th.

I don’t know what diagnosis was used to justify keeping him in jail, and neither does anyone else outside his family.

At this point, it is a matter of medical privacy.

Based on interviews with county officials and others, Hart has apparently been engaging in behavior that could have resulted in his arrest for a good while now.

He finally crossed the line at the UDF. He was put in jail by a Grand Jury...a collection of citizens that looked at the facts and decided that there was evidence he had broken the law.

Jessica Little didn’t make that call. Neither did Ralph Jennings, Scott Gusweiler or any “group of corrupt officials” that have been subjected to Hart’s abuse. A group of citizens did.

Little tells me that this all

Aberdeen voters also will decide on separate ballot issues involving natural gas aggregation and electricity aggregation.

Aggregation approval will enable Aberdeen residents to participate in programs that reportedly will reduce their natural gas and electricity costs.

Letters to the Editor

Tea Party to hold picnic in G’town Dear Editor, The Brown County Tea Party will be having a picnic (no speeches, just hamburgers, hot dogs and friends) at the shelter house at the Kathryn Hanlon park in Georgetown, from noon to ?, on Sept. 11. All are welcome! If you have any questions, or want to be added to our email list, please contact Tom Crush at (513) 313-2314 or thomascrush@gmail.com We have a list of questions that we believe that all citizens of Brown County, regardless of their political inclinations, should expect the candidates for county-wide office to answer, so that citizens can make more informed decisions.

We ask all the candidates to answer them as a public service to all the people of Brown County, and to return their answers as a letter to the Editor.

The Brown County Tea Party does not make endorsements, and the purpose of these straightforward questions is simply to help Brown County's voters make a more informed decision in November.

1.) What have you done, or plan to do, while in office, to

attract jobs-producing businesses to relocate in, expand in, or remain in Brown County?

2.) It is no secret to anyone that Brown County, like the nation in general, is experiencing very serious economic difficulties. Many people in Brown County are suffering as a result.

What steps have you taken or plan to take in office that have or will reduce the tax burden on the people of Brown County?

3.) Recently, in the midst of this economic difficulty, the Brown County Commissioners voted to increase Brown County's sales tax revenue by 50%*. A referendum to repeal this decision failed by a small number of votes. If you support this tax increase, do you plan to support removing this increase at a later date when the economy and revenue improves? If you do not support this tax increase, do you pledge to work diligently to remove it?

4.) Do you support the sales tax increase?

5.) Do you intend, now or in the future, to have Brown County participate in any major projects? If so, what are

they and what is your plan to pay for them?

6.) Do you support zoning?

7.) Do Americans have inalienable rights given to us by our Creator, importantly including the fundamental right of self-defense?

8.) Do you believe that it is better to have fewer County employees with better pay and better benefits, or more County employees with lower pay and lower benefits?

9.) What steps have you taken, or would you take, in office to improve efficiency, improve or maintain customer service, reduce costs or streamline regulatory burdens upon people living and working in Brown County? *Note: Many of us believe that the recent sales tax increase was only .25%. In reality, Brown County is allowed a maximum of .75% of sales, the rest going elsewhere. By increasing Brown County's share of the sales tax from .50% to .75%, the commissioners increased Brown County's sales tax revenue by 50%.

Obama is probably a nice guy. I also believed the same about Jimmy Carter. Both of them, nice guys. Bill Clinton, also likable, even though he lied to the American people and is somewhat of a scoundrel ... and has trouble keeping it in his pants ... but, hey, nobody’s perfect. But nice is one thing and inept is another.

Immediately somebody may remark, “So, Mr. Talley, these guys are inept, huh?

Well, what about George W. Bush, huh? What do you say about his presidency?

Wouldn’t you call him inept as well?!”

Well, in all honestly, George W. wasn’t my first pick of the bunch either ... but, God love ‘em, he’s looking a bit better all the time. I kind of wish I had him back right now, even if he wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer ... and yet, I felt a bit safer with the guy in office ... at least he was smart enough to have Condi Rice in his cabinet. (Now she would’ve been a good choice for presi-

dent!)

Some people tell me that Obama hasn’t had a chance to show what he can do, that he has too much on his plate.

My contention is that, no matter who the president would be, the work load would be the same - deal with it! (You wanted the job; you got the job - and everything that comes with it. You ain’t got the luxury of picking and choosing.)

Look at it like this, our choices of those we put into leadership aren’t exactly the most promising even on a good day - but we could do a bit better at picking if we were to use a bit more critical thinking in our evaluations of the choices we’re given. I choose not to vote according to party, or sentiment, or tradition, or ethnicity, or gender - I try to vote according to what I believe is going to work the best for the country as a whole. We need to take more responsibility in how we formulate our reasons behind the choices we make.

Reader says voting has consequences Dear Editor, I find it rather amusing that, after so many years of slanting the news in favor of a leftist agenda, the major news and media outlets are falling all over themselves to try and do damage control with the Obama administration. They’re desperate to save their puppet in the White House, so they accuse the conservative talk show hosts and political pundits of doing a hatchet job on the president - as if to say that, if it hadn’t been for them, Obama would have a better rating than he does currently!

What the ...huh?! You mean to tell me that it takes a radio talk show host or a political pundit to point out to the American people that something ain’t right?! You mean to tell me that the American people can’t figure it out for themselves? Good grief! I had it all figured wrong. I figured any idiot and his equally stupid sister could’ve figured this one out without anybody’s help.

Aberdeen voters will decide on Tuesday, Nov. 2, whether to sell their village water system to an operating entity.

They also will decide on separate aggregation ballot measures involving natural gas and electricity.

Aberdeen's three ballot measures are among 21 measures on the ballot this coming General Election Day. Two other measures concern a wet-dry election in the precinct containing Hamersville, and 16 others are for proposed funding levies in nine townships and four villages in Brown County.

Brown County Board of

Elections Deputy Director Kathy Long said the number of ballot issues for a single General Election is “quite a few”, adding, “I don't think we usually have quite this many.”

Aberdeen Has Three Issues An initiative in Aberdeen, if approved by voters, would offer the village's water system for sale to a bidder, who then would operate that system for Aberdeen customers.

That initiative, which received enough voter signatures to be placed on the Nov. 2 ballot, is offering an apparent alternative to the 4-2 vote earlier this year by Aberdeen Village Council members authorizing the construction of a water treatment plant in that

OHS Project Curator Molly read a Uline-Olmstead Commendation from OHS, signed by Executive Director Burt Logan and President Richard Prasse, which stated, “The Ohio Historical Society commends the Freed Gist Slaves Descendants Foundation for furthering knowledge and understanding of our state's heritage by placing an Ohio Historical Marker on Aug. 14, 2010, which honors the freed slaves who settled in Brown County-Scott Township under the terms of the will of their former owner Samuel Gist.”

Brown County Board of Commissioners President Margery Paeltz welcomed all the visitors who were in Brown County that day.

Board of Commissioners Vice President Ralph Jennings said it was an amazing story of how the descendants of the freed Gist slaves are related and interwoven with one another.

Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall commented what had started out so wrongly – the former slavery of the Gist settlers - “turned into a wonderful blossom,” referring to all the people who had descended from those 1819 settlers.

Another chapter of Brown County's rich 1800s history received recognition Aug. 14 when an Ohio Historical Marker was unveiled in Scott Township to commemorate the Lower Brown County Gist Settlement.

The marker is on Wahlsburg East Road east of U.S. 68 near a water tower on property owned by the Brown Rural Water County Association.

It commemorates one of two Brown County areas where freed slaves moved in 1819 to settle and start new lives after having been in bondage as slaves on Virginia property owned by absentee British landowner Samuel Gist.

An Ohio Historical Marker had been placed in the area of the other Brown County site on July 18, 2009. That commemoration is in the Methodist Cemetery on Five Points-Fincastle Road east of Sardinia and south of State Route 32 in Eagle Township.

The Scott Township marker is the third and final Ohio Historical Marker to be placed to commemorate the Ohio settlements of the freed Gist slaves. Some freed Gist slaves settled in Fairfield Township, which is now Penn Township, in Highland County in 1831 and 1835, and a marker in that township commemorates that history.

Dedication Service Held About 100 people attended a Marker Dedication Service at Fairview Church in Scott Township before traveling to the Wahlsburg East Road Unveiling Ceremony.

Among those speaking were representatives of some of the descendant families of freed Gist slaves who settled in the Scott Township area.

Those families were the Barnett, Williams, Anderson, Nash, Cumberland, Baker, Prosser and Smith families, and their representatives had traveled from such cities as Cincinnati, Hillsboro, Akron and Indianapolis.

Dorothy Hiles of Cincinnati, a representative of the Anderson Family, said, “All of us gathered here today have a common thread in our history.”

The Rev. Lisa Corum Fox, pastor of First Presbyterian Church of West Union and another speaker, commented to her listeners, “We're here to celebrate history.”

Churches' Histories Read Georgetown resident Anna Mae Pryor read a history of two Georgetown churches many freed Gist slaves or their descendants attended: Delaney Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, which opened in 1819, and Second Baptist Church, which opened in 1864 but now is closed.

“Delaney Chapel was founded in 1819 by descendants of families who attended a small church of the Methodist denomination in a schoolhouse near Straight Creek,” Pryor informed her listeners.

She also read concerning Second Baptist Church, “At the end of the Civil War, black people were active in building a new life for their families.

Many of these people migrated from Kentucky and Virginia. They soon adapted themselves to the Georgetown community.”

State Rep. Danny Bubp, who represents Brown County in the Ohio House of Representatives, said it was an honor to be present that day and mentioned how Brown County's history is “fascinating”.

Bubp told his audience it was exciting to listen to history and added, “You're part of it.”

MARTHA SIMPSON common problem, occurring in about 30 out of 100,000 people annually. Bell’s palsy seems to afflict men and women -- and all ethnic groups -- at the same rate.

There are just a few known factors that seem to increase the risk of Bell’s palsy. You are more likely to get it while pregnant, especially in the third trimester, and within a week of giving birth.

Diabetes and upper respiratory illnesses also seem to increase the risk.

Most people do make a full recovery within one or two months, but it can take up to six months. Also, there can be some permanent residual weakness and minor loss of function in the affected nerve.

As you’ve noticed, various treatments have met with mixed results. If Bell’s palsy is diagnosed within 72 hours of onset, an antiviral medication is often prescribed. If the diagnosis comes later than

that, anti-viral medications may not do much good. High doses of steroids can also help to reduce the inflammation in the nerve, speed up recovery and lessen any pain.

Similarly, other treatments may ease symptoms to some extent –- however, time is the most effective cure.

One thing you must do in the meantime is to protect your eye from drying out, since the eyelid may not close properly. You will want to carry around eye drops, and you may even need to wear an eye patch to protect your eye from the elements.

Aside from the obvious –sudden paralysis or weakness in one side of your face -symptoms of Bell’s palsy include difficulty closing one eye, drooling, reduced ability to taste food, pain in or behind your ear and increased sensitivity to sound.

These symptoms are very similar to those of a stroke.

If you experience sudden paralysis in one side of your face again –- especially if you also have sudden vision problems, memory loss or trouble speaking -- go to the emergency department immediately.

Ohio has been hit by a scourge of sweepstakes scams, Attorney General Richard Cordray said today.

The fake contests are a common ploy used by con artists to swindle money or gain personal information.

Since January, the Attorney Consumer General's Protection section has received approximately 900 complaints about sweepstakes or prizes, almost all of them scams.

"The number of sweepstakes scams reported in Ohio is on course to double this year," Cordray said.

"Unfortunately, senior citizens are most vulnerable to these sophisticated deceptions. We are seeing tragic instances of trusting consumers, particularly seniors, falling into a trap where they wind up turning over not only their personal information but thousands of dollars. Our best defense against these scam artists is to increase awareness and community vigilance."

had to wire $750 to Las Vegas for insurance. After the couple wired more than $1,800 for the prize, their son became aware of the scam and contacted the Attorney General's office.

A Trumbull County woman received a check as an award for winning the "lottery." In order to collect the winnings, she was required to deposit the $4,800 check and wire $4,000 to Spain. The woman's contacted the daughter Attorney General's office after realizing the check was a fake.

"Many of the fake checks used in sweepstakes scams look very real," Cordray said.

"If someone is enduring early stages of dementia or Alzheimer's, they likely could not detect this ploy. In fact the most outrageous aspect of most scams is that they prey on the trust that ordinary, decent people have in one another. I strongly urge family members, friends and neighbors to watch out for those who are most vulnerable to these malicious scammers."

The Attorney General's office has received 919 sweepstakes scam reports todate in 2010; well past the 622 complaints received last year and double the 447 in 2008.

Cordray is providing the following tips to avoid sweepstakes scams: • Do not send money to collect a sweepstakes or prize. If you have to pay to collect your winnings, then you did not actually win.

• Be extremely skeptical of anyone who asks you to send money to Canada, Jamaica or other foreign countries.

• Don't trust individuals who contact you unexpectedly and who ask you to wire transfer money, even for a contest or prize.

• Entries to foreign lotteries cannot be sold legally in Ohio. Anyone who informs you that you have won a foreign lottery is trying to defraud you.

• Beware of "recovery scams." Fraudulent telemarketers may contact victims posing as the police or other governmental representatives.

They lie, often by saying they have recovered the victims' lost sweepstakes money and asking the victims to send more money to receive it.

Attorney General Cordray has joined the Ohio Departments of Insurance, Commerce and Aging to warn Ohio's seniors about sweepstakes scams and other fraud.

Since June, "Seniors Fighting Fraud" workshops have been presented at more than 40 assisted living or independent living facilities throughout the state. Additional presentations are scheduled this fall.

To schedule a workshop, visit www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.g ov/ConsumerWorkshops.

If you suspect that you or someone you know has fallen victim to a scam, file a complaint with the Attorney General's office through www.SpeakOutOhio.gov or by calling (800) 282-0515, or notify local law enforcement.

SHE BELIEVED PART II Last week I left off in Joshua 2:911 with the young woman of Jericho saying: “...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. 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.” I am glad for this young woman who stood in opposition of all her city which disbelieved. This young woman, who hid the two spies sent by Joshua into Jericho, did believe in the power of God. She feared the LORD because of the reports she had heard. She also knew that the army of Israel was about to descend upon her city. Therefore in verse 12 she said: “Now, therefore, I pray you, swear onto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token.” She was not just concerned about herself.

She was concerned about her father, her mother, her brothers, her sisters, and all that they had.

You know, when you get concerned about other people you will not have to worry so much about how you feel. We have so many people that are so self-centered that they are only concerned about themselves. They are looking in the mirror all the time. Get your face out of the mirror and start being concerned about other people! Let’s see, how does that go: “Others Lord, yes others, this may our burden be. Help us to live for others that we might live for thee.” Rahab said in verse 13: “And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.” I do not know if her family were believers or not. But she had enough faith for all of them!

Have some faith for your family and lead your family to Jesus!

When I accepted the Lord there was no one else in my family

DR. CHARLES SMITH MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH www.bbcmtorab.com who was saved. My mother had already passed away by that time and my wife was not saved. I made her a deal that week after I got saved. I said that I would quit bugging her about going to church with me if she would go just once. She went; I turned the rest over to the Lord and don’t you know she got saved that very day. We started talking to the rest of the family and some of them got saved and eventually her Mom and Dad got saved. This young woman from Jericho said: “...and deliver our lives from death.” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could see all of your loved ones over in glory? That would be a grand reunion! And we will if they are saved. Mark it down; it will happen! Christ will deliver our life from death. I Corinthians 15:54-55 states: “So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” In verse 14 of Joshua 2 the two spies answered the woman: “...Our life for yours...”. A life for a life.

Jesus gave His life for ours. If you believe His gospel, that is His death, burial, and resurrection and then repent and accept Him as your Saviour, some day you will see that promised heavenly land. Look with me in Joshua 5:12: “And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children or Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.: Someday when this part of our life is over we too will cross over Jordan into that beautiful Canaan land. What a glorious day that will be! Won’t you come with us?

Question: I have had Bell’s palsy for the past 38 days, and there hasn’t been any improvement. I have taken steroid injections, B12 vitamin capsules and antibiotics.

I have also tried alternative therapies like Reiki healing.

So far, nothing works. I’m considering acupuncture now. Do you have any suggestions? Will I make a full recovery, and how long could it take?

Answer: Bells’ palsy is a sudden onset of paralysis on one side of the face -- and luckily, it is temporary. The condition occurs when the nerve that controls the muscles on one side of the face becomes inflamed or infected.

While the exact cause of Bell’s palsy is not known, some evidence suggests that the facial nerve becomes infected with the herpes simplex I virus, which also causes cold sores. Other viruses, like herpes zoster, which causes shingle and chicken pox, may also be to blame.

Bell’s palsy can affect anyone of any age, but it most commonly strikes people between the ages of 15 and 45, and it rarely occurs after the age of 60. It is a fairly

Brown County students heading back to school School to replace former teachers. The superintendent said morale seems to be “pretty high” among the district's staff members.

Two schools have new principals this year: Susan Owens is at the helm of RULH Elementary School, and Susan Skinner is the top administrator at RULH High School.

Russ Curtis also has replaced Owens as the district's new Curriculum and Technology director.

Birkholtz also said there are two new district administrators: Kevin Lester is Food Service director, and Dee Dee Corbin is Transportation supervisor and building support secretary.

Birkholtz mentioned the district now has its own program offering classes online, A Plus Learning, which can be used for students needing to take remediation or Summer School courses.

He also said the district is partnering with Wright State University, which will offer Spanish and some other courses to RULH High School students at that school for dual high school and college credit.

“We're very excited about these types of opportunities in our district,” Birkholtz commented.

Classroom hours for RULH Elementary School and RULH Middle School will be 8:05 a.m.-2:55 p.m. while classroom hours for RULH High School will be 8:05 a.m.-3:08 p.m.

Southern Hills “I hope the students are ready because we are ready for them,” Southern Hills Joint Vocational School District Superintendent Charles Guarino said about the beginning of classes scheduled this Monday at SHCTC. Guarino said in an Aug. 18 interview everything was going well thus far and “we're ready to go”.

One structural issue with the vocational school is some roof beams that Guarino said are not seated properly on the bearing walls in the SHCTC Dining Commons Area, but he mentioned that area is secure and stabilized and doesn't pose a danger.

He said the SHJVS District received two bids to fix that problem and is awaiting Ohio School Facilities Commission approval to award a contract to one of those bidders for that work, which he said should cost less than $10,000.

Guarino will retire from his superintendent's post on Friday, Dec. 31. The SHJVS Board of Education voted this past Monday, Aug. 16, to offer Western Brown High School Principal Kevin Kratzer the position to replace Guarino, and Kratzer accepted.

Guarino said he is working with Kratzer to make the upcoming transition at the superintendent's post a smooth

one.

SHCTC classroom hours are 8:25 a.m.-2:25 p.m.

is expected to open in January 2012. Simmons said the 1997 building's gymnasium will be renovated and saved and also said a southwestern section of the 1962 building, which was the original ELHS, will be saved and converted into a new ELHS District Building, Administration which will be separate and not connected to the new ELMS. In other news, Simmons said the district will have six fewer teachers and five fewer aides this year after budget constraints forced the school board to make staff reductions.

He also said the district later this year plans to have a left turn lane constructed on the road between the high school and the middle school to better facilitate the flow of traffic entering on to U.S. 62.

Classroom time is scheduled 7:50 a.m.-2:50 p.m. this year at all four district schools – ELMS, ELHS, Russellville Elementary School and Sardinia Elementary School.

The ELSD Administrative Offices may be contacted at (937) 378-3981 or (937) 6951399.

Fayetteville-Perry Local Fayetteville-Perry Local District School Superintendent Roy Hill said of the upcoming school year in an Aug. 18 telephone interview, “Right now, everything is going fine.”

Some changes this year include a reduction in staff positions because of district budget constraints with some reductions resulting from retirements and others from layoffs. Hill said four teachers and eight classroom aides were laid off and five teachers retired.

The district also is implementing a “pay to participate” policy for most extracurricular activities and changes in the dress code, which Hill said have “generated some buzz”.

Students' shorts and skirts must be at or below their knees, and students aren't allowed to wear clothing with holes above their knees.

The district also has changed the way students are dropped off in the morning at the district's three schools on South Apple Street (U.S. 68) in Fayetteville.

All students from prekindergarten to high school will be dropped off at the front entrances of FayettevillePerry Elementary School and the connected buildings that house Fayetteville-Perry Middle and Fayetteville-Perry High schools.

FPES students may enter

through either the main entrance or the door connecting the new addition to the previously existing building.

Vehicles must enter from the southernmost driveway and exit from the front on to South Apple Street. The middle driveway is now reserved for buses, and no vehicles are permitted to enter that area when the buses are present.

When parents pick up their children in the afternoons, they may continue to park in the back of FPES as they did last year.

FPES students will attend classes 7:45 a.m.-2:40 p.m. while FPMS and FPHS students will attend classes 7:50 a.m.-2:50 p.m.

The FPLSD Administrative Offices may be contacted at (513) 875-2423.

Georgetown Exempted “We are set and ready to go,” Georgetown Exempted Village School District Superintendent Tony Dunn reported about the new school year in an Aug. 18 telephone interview.

Dunn said there are no major changes from last school year. The schools have about the same number of staff members, even though some individuals are new, and he mentioned the bus routes and district's times and procedures remain about the same for “business as usual”.

The GEVS District Board of Education voted Aug. 18 to change the fees Georgetown High School students will pay this year to a flat $55. That fee had been a flat $10 plus other fees on top of that depending on what courses an individual GHS student was taking during a given year.

Classes at those schools Georgetown GHS, Elementary School and Georgetown Junior High School – will run 7:50 a.m.2:50 p.m. this year.

Art auction to fund new SSCC scholarship Inaugural event slated for Aug. 28-29 at Lake Waynoka

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

The arts helping the arts – that’s the goal of the Art PaintOut auction to be held Aug. 28 at the Lake Waynoka Art Festival in Brown County. The arts festival is planned for Aug. 28-29.

Proceeds from the auction will go toward the establishment of an arts scholarship to attend Southern State Community College. Artwork will be juried by artists James “Skip” Werline, director of the art department at Southern State, of Maysville, Ky., and Tom Bluemlien, an awardwinning local artist, of Fort Mitchell, Ky. “You don’t want to miss this great event of a lifetime, to see and purchase one of these great works of art,” said festival coordinator Joanne Edwards.

Auction judging and viewing of the art will begin at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 28 in the lodge at Lake Waynoka, with an appetizer and wine reception to begin at 6 p.m., and the auction with auctioneer Larry Downing to begin at 6:30 p.m.

Dessert and coffee will be served at 9 p.m. Auction participants are required to purchase a $20 advance ticket which may be applied toward an art purchase.

Other events planned throughout the weekend include an art exhibit and sale from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29, in the lodge.

“Some of the best artists throughout the tri-state area will be painting ‘plein air’ art this weekend,” Edwards said.

“These artists have been invited to set up their easels around the lake and surrounding countryside and paint our beautiful scenery.”

Plein air—a French term meaning “in the open air”—is a style of painting that is produced outdoors in real time with natural lighting. Many of the festival’s 18 artists are members of the Ohio Plein Air Society. To learn more about the style, visit www.ohiopleinairsociety.com/ gallery.htm.

“We hope that everyone will

In a scene reminiscent of an old “MacGyver” episode, local high school chemistry teachers put everyday objects to the test during an annual workshop sponsored by Southern State Community College.

Now in its fourth year, the daylong chemistry workshop welcomed 21 high school teachers to the college’s Fayette Campus in Washington Court House. The local teachers—including Dylan Fain of Eastern High School, Kathy Jacobs of Southern Hills Career and Technical Center, and Dave Whittington of Georgetown High School —earned continuing education credit for their participation.

Dr. David Garippa, professor of biology at Southern State, opened the workshop by presenting each participant with toolboxes stocked with ordinary materials –such as food storage containers.

Using only items provided in the toolboxes, Dr. Garippa showed the teachers how to create their own laboratory equipment for two experiments in chromatography (the separation of mixtures) using a method called electrophoresis (a process commonly used to separate DNA).

The afternoon session was led by Dr. Susan Hershberger, director for the Center for Chemistry Education of Miami University Middletown.

Dr. Hershberger’s presentation complemented the morning session with more experiments in chromatog-

raphy. Using shaving cream, food coloring and toothpicks, she demonstrated how dyes separate or, in this case, hold together. Each participant was then presented with the two-volume set of “Chemistry with Charisma,” coauthored by Dr. Hershberger.

The local high school chemistry teachers participating in the annual workshops are working in concert with Southern State’s post-secondary enrollment option (PSEO) program which allows high school students the opportunity to earn college credit.

Through the PSEO program, students who complete the requisite chemistry course at their respective high schools can earn college-level credit.

Also, as part of the program, those students are invited to participate in a one-day advanced laboratory experiment on one of Southern State’s four campus locations.

Those participating in the recent workshop included Aaron Berridge of Peebles High School, Kristine Coriell of Scioto County Career Technical Center, Cathy Daugherty of Paint Valley High School, Beth Downs of West Union High School, Dylan Fain of Eastern High School, Gil Farr of Clinton-Massie High School, Leann Frazer-Watkins of Hillsboro High School, Alan Gabriel of Westfall High School, Matt Geggie of Wilmington High School, Andrea Harpen of Blanchester High School, Jim Hopkins of Hillsboro High School,

Brown County Republican Party Chairman Paul Hall said “because of (Eagan’s) tragic accident, people were questioning his ability to run and serve”.

So he, Eagan and others met last July to see if Eagan was capable and willing to continue the race for Commissioner.

Eagan said that he was.

“We made the decision that he could run and we’re moving forward. Rick is our man”, Hall said.

“I’m confident that I can fulfill the demands of the job”, Eagan said.

“I get around, I go to therapy three times a week and I walk with a cane.”

Referring to his medical ordeal, Eagan said “I died twice and came back, so I don’t quit.”

Eagan also expressed his appreciation and gratitude to everyone who has supported him and his family over the past year.

While this year's estimated attendance at the 40th Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show was down from last year's, the annual festival still was successful, OVAM Association President Jeff Smith reported.

Smith estimated 8,000 attended this year's show compared to an estimated 10,000 in 2009.

He blamed this year's lower turnout on the heat. “It was just too hot.”

Smith said even some people who came to the festival cut their visits short on account of the hot temperatures.

A glitch that occurred this year was the thunderstorm cancellation of a scheduled outdoor concert on Aug. 14 featuring the popular Legends rock 'n' roll musical and comedy band, who were a hit at the 2009 OVAM Show.

Smith said heat still lingered at this year's show after that rain and mentioned this year's festival probably was the hottest he remembers from his years of OVAM involvement.

A brighter spot Smith recalled from this year's rainy Saturday night was the initiative shown by two campers who were at the OVAM Show Grounds site. They brought out their musical entertainment and played Bluegrass music for some listeners for about three hours in the Bingo Barn.

Sawmill Was Popular The thousands who came to the show and fought the heat enjoyed many of its features, according to Smith.

He said the veneer machine and sawmill were popular attractions this year as well as the flea market vendor booths.

Other demonstrations of old-time machinery and labor included a blacksmith shop, home canning, wheat threshing, concrete block and shingle manufacturing, corn meal grinding, and rock crushing.

A Craft Barn provided some demonstrations of crafts and

arts creations including pottery, and vendors there offered many of their creations for sale.

Visitors could visit buildings depicting life the way it was ages ago in Ohio including a One-Room Schoolhouse, a Log Cabin Pioneer Home, and a Country Store that offered small pieces of candy for the long-ago price of one penny each. (The OVAM Show article in the Aug. 8 edition of the Brown County Press incorrectly reported the Pioneer Home and Country Store were in the same building; they actually are in separate neighboring structures.)

One OVAM Show feature that was popular among visitors was the large number of antique tractors on display, the Brown County Press discovered in interviews it conducted of visitors for its weekly “What Do You Think?” people picture poll (see page 4).

This year's featured tractor was the AGCO family of those farm vehicles, which included the well-known Allis Chalmers brand among others, and this year's featured engine was the Witte gas engines.

“Pioneers” Were Honored Tractors and other antique mobile equipment participated in a parade each of the festival's four days, and to commemorate this year's 40th Show, the parade's grand marshals were three “pioneers” who started the first-ever OVAM Show in 1971 - Roger Neal of Georgetown, Scott Leonard of Pike Township, and Ed Fiscus of Bethel.

Two other “pioneers” honored posthumously were the late Kenny Gullett and Stanley Mack.

In addition to watching a parade and demonstrations of old-time machinery and visiting a Country Store, a Craft Barn, and a flea market, OVAM visitors also had a large variety of food booths to visit with offerings to satisfy any appetite.

The OVAM Show also included cornhole, free bingo, musical and clogging entertainment, a Patriotic Opening Program, a Sunday Morning

Church Service, and an Antique Car Show, which included at least 50 antique cars on the festival's last day, Smith reported.

Florida Residents Visited As usual, visitors didn't attend just from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana but from many states with the farthest Smith said he was aware of this year being Florida.

He said one visitor from Key West, Fla., brought an antique hit and miss engine to display while another Florida resident brought a collection of about 225 old-time homemade ice cream making apparatuses.

Smith also reported at least one international visitor this year, a German resident who was a passenger on a parade tractor.

“I just want to thank everyone who showed up who braved the heat and the rain,” Smith said of the 2010 OVAM Show visitors.

He added, “I want to thank all the (OVAM Association) directors for the hard work they did and the volunteers who came in and got the grounds ready to put on the show.”

Smith said as well he wanted to give a big “thank you” to the “Founding Fathers”, refer-

Western netters open season with win

By Ritchie Butler The Brown County Press The Western Lady Broncos opened the 2010 tennis season with a 5-0 win over Hillsboro on Monday.

"I was very pleased with the results," said first-year Western coach Max Vavilov.

"Everyone played strong

singles match in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.

The second singles match took a little longer to finish.

Sara Wiesenhahn outlasted her Hillsboro opponent 7-5 in the first set. After several long volleys in the second set, Wiesenhahn won 6-3.

In second doubles, Taylor Hopkins and Megan Puckett

today. After they got the nerves out, they played consistent. We can be competitive. We pulled away in a couple of matches and we won some tie breaks and came from behind in the others."

Morgan Wright won her first-singles match in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.

Taylor Helton won her third

Western’s first-singles player, Morgan Wright, executes a forehand winner during her 6-0, 6-0 victory against Hillsboro.

triumphed by scores of 6-4 and 7-6. The second set had to be decided by a tie breaker.

Hopkins and Puckett won the tie break, 7-5.

The first doubles match was a marathon event, lasting almost three hours. Kandise King and Allison Kelsey fell in the first set, 6-4. They came from behind in the second set, winning 7-5 and setting up a third and deciding set. The Lady Broncos' duo fell behind 5-2 before rallying for the 7-5 win.

"Hillsboro was competitive and gave some of my girls a hard time," said Vavilov.

"Morgan works hard in the off season and it showed tonight.

Sara also works hard in the and summer. winter Hopefully, the other girls will learn from their examples."

Western got off to a 1-0 start to the season, but Vavilov knows the Lady Broncos have room for improvement.

"The communication needs to get better with the doubles teams," he said. "We need some time to develop that trust."

When asked about the upcoming league schedule, Vavilov admitted that he did not know that much about the other SBC teams. But, he thinks that can be a good thing.

"We are trying to prepare like we are playing the champions every match," said Vavilov. "We want to put our best foot forward each night out. We are focusing on ourselves, rather than trying to prepare and plan for a specific opponent."

Young Warriors drop season opener CMYK

The Eastern Warriors dropped their season opener at White Oak, falling to

Lynchburg and Whiteoak in a tri-match.

"Four of our six players were getting their first match experience," said Eastern coach Jason Hauke. "Some of

the scores were high today, compared to our practices."

The Warriors compiled a team score of 195. Lynchburg totaled 183 and Whiteoak came in with a team score of 172, winning the match.

Whiteoak's Joe Michael was medalist, firing a 39.

Junior Aaron Williams led Eastern with a 42. Sophomore Austin Williams fired a 43.

Freshman Nick Holbrook finished with a 52. Sophomore Lane Lynch carded a 58.

Freshman Matt Poettker shot a 64 and freshman Mitchell Cooper scored 59.

"We need to get over the nerves," said Hauke. "We will take our lumps, but we will be a good team in the future. If we can stay under 200 early and gain some confidence, we'll get better. Most of our guys are still developing."

But Sardinia, Ohio’s Barry Doss made the low line work and took the lead away with three laps remaining in the feature event, stealing the win in his Holman Motors, D&G Trucking, Doss Contracting, Gabbard Ford, and Howser’s Discount and Garage Sponsored machine.

Stapleton came home second with John Sizemore, Larry Pickelheimer, Jr. and Chad Oberson rounding out the top five spots. Mike Myers and Stapleton were heat-race winners.

In the US Race Gear $600 Street Stock Special, it was all Jamey Adams as the Laurelville, Ohio driver led the entire race and claimed his third feature win of the season in his Thomas Gas, Helterbran Trucking, Precision Grinding sponsored machine. Mark Kaetzel claimed the second spot, followed by Jeremie Bretz, Dave Kirker and Bruce Gray, Jr. Kaetze and Adams

were heat-race winners.

In the Mt. Orab Ford Modified Division, it was cheers all around as Hamersville, Ohio’s Randy Wash took his first-ever victory at MRP in a hotly contested modified feature. At the beginning of the race, it was last week’s feature winner, Dave McWilliams, leading the first lap. Wash passed him on lap 2 and fought off McWilliams’ advances through lap 5 when current track point leader and UMP National point leader, Devin Gilpin, tried to take the top spot away from Wash. Gilpin dropped out under caution and it was Late Model feature winner Barry Doss’s turn to take shots at Wash, but to no avail as the Seips Carquest Auto Parts, Backstreet Deli, L&M Performance sponsored machine took the sweet visit to victory lane. Doss took the second spot, followed by Jimmy Lennex, Jr., Derrick Davis and Jim O’Toole. Wash passed McWilliams with two laps to go, claiming the win in heat-race No. 1 while Doss won heat No. 2.

In the AMSA Mini-Sprints, it was Bainbridge, Ohio’s Ryan Broughton claiming his second feature win in a row at MRP. Beau Stewart claimed second position, followed by Rod Henning, Jeff Barnhart and Kevin Roberts, Sr. In the Holman Motor Chevette division, it was a great race up front as Sean Jones, Rusty Yarger and Josh

Hamersville’s Randy Wash won his first-ever feature at Moler Raceway Park in the Mt. Orab Ford Modified Division.

Francis battled throughout the 15-lap event, often with the lead changing hands every lap. At the end though, it was Jones claiming his third feature win of the season in his Hesler’s Country Corner, Rv’s R Us, Odessy Canvas Works, Mootz Construction sponsored machine. In a wild lastlap scramble, as Yarger seemed to lose power, it was Jeff Watson claiming second spot over Francis, tail-starting Tarvin and Scott Ramp.

Francis and Jones claimed heat-race wins.

Coming Friday, Aug. 20, MRP will host the Biggest Event of the Year in the Victor

“Ike” Moler Memorial with $5,000 to win for the Late Model Class. Ike Moler is grandfather to Kevin Moler and built and operated Mt. Orab Speedway back in the 1950’s. The Moler Family dream was to open a race track in his honor and Jerry Moler, having helped his dad build a race track and after years of building and racing cars, has now built his second race track, something no one else has done before him. The Memorial in honor of Ike Moler is a tribute to the whole Moler family, who has been so active in the sport throughout five generations now.

Mt. Orab Titans enjoy season

The Famed Southern Trophy, eight feet tall, was given out at Southern Ohio Raceway by current Moler Raceway Park Race Director Mike Jewell and is now given to the Winner of the Memorial race. The Famed Southern trophy was won at Southern Ohio Raceway 20 years ago by Delmos Conley, who is expected to come to MRP and try to win it again 20 years later. It has also been won by racing legends Billy Moyer in 1988, Donnie Moran 1989, Delmos Conley 1990, Black Jack Boggs 1991, Paul Harris 1992 and then it was won at MRP by Eddie Carrier, Jr., in

2008 and Mike Marlar in 2009.

Who will win it this year at Moler Raceway Park? You don’t want to miss this one.

The Division of Wildlife along with CentervilleWashington Township Park District will host a free Tree Stand Safety course on Thursday, Sept. 16 at the Grant Park Nature Nook in Centerville.

Hunting from a tree stand is an effective means of harvesting game. However, if not used properly, these elevated platforms present one of the most dangerous situations a hunter can face. It is estimated that one out of every three tree stand hunters will fall during their hunting careers. Attending a tree stand safety course,

taught by certified instructors, can prevent hunters, beginners and seasoned, from becoming an accident victim.

This course will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. The Grant Park Nature Nook is located at 6588 McEwen Road, Centerville.

Students wishing to attend the workshop must call 1800-WILDLIFE to register.

Pre-registration is required and the course is limited to 30 participants. For more information on hunter education or upcoming workshops please visit our website at www.wildohio.com.

Boy Scouts attend 2010 Summer Camp

Russellville boy scouts attend summer camp Russellville Boy Scout Troop 248 traveled to Mt. Sterling, Ky. July 4 - 10 to attend Camp McKee for the annual summer camp. One of the oldest Boy Scout camps in Kentucky, Camp McKee offers Scouts extensive training in swimming, boating, sailing, canoeing as well as archery, rifle, woodworking, space exploration, camping and crafts. Scout programs emphasize safety for all activities and prepare Scouts for proper responses in the event of emergencies. Camp McKee also features High Adventure programs such as repelling and rock climbing as well as boating at Red River Gorge and Cave Run Lake.

“We had four scouts from troop 248 and two scouts from

another troop that attended summer camp this year,” said Doug Green, Russellville Troop leader. Green has been involved in Troop #248 since 1971 and lives in the Russellville area. Troop #248 is one of the oldest established Scout troops in Southwest Ohio . “With all the boating, swimming and recreational activities on the Ohio River , Lake Grant and East Fork Lake , we chose to attend Camp McKee to give the Russellville Scouts a good foundation in water recreation and safety, “Green added.

Russellville Scouts, Mike Maloney, Harrison Pedigo, Quentin Rowland and Mike Green attended the week long camp. Morgan South and Walker Reynolds joined Troop

248 during the week long camp. Adult leaders, Jeff Puckett, Dave Hardyman and Ben Pedigo also attended along with Doug Green to assist in Scout activities at the summer camp. Fathers are encouraged to participate in Scout activities. In addition to summer camp, the Boy Scouts have a fall, winter and spring weekend camping schedule in this area.

Russellville Troop #248 invites boys 11 to 18 years of age to attend the weekly meetings.

They are held at the Russellville Presbyterian Church on Mondays from 7 to 8 pm . To learn more about scouting, please attend a meeting or contact Doug Green at 377-5581

Patrol: ID theft increase in Ohio is alarming The Ohio State Highway Patrol has noticed an alarming trend – identity theft cases are on the rise. The Patrol has observed a 55 percent increase so far this year in identity theft cases resulting from traffic stops and contact made at Ohio driver license exam stations.

This time last year, 114 cases for identity theft had been investigated in comparison to 248 cases this year. In addition, Bureau of Motor Vehicles Deputy Registrars and employees routinely collect approximately 4,000 set of fraudulent documents each year from their work in issuing driver licenses, state identification cards and vehicle registrations.

Nationally, identification fraudulent

crimes bring in nearly 10 billion dollars a year for organized crime, terrorist groups and individual criminals.

“From the first step of obtaining a temporary permit to the final issuance of a driver license, the Patrol and BMV work to ensure the documents we are issuing are secure and reliable,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Thomas J. Stickrath.

BMV investigators also train law enforcement and other partners to identify fraudulent documents. More than 8,000 officers statewide have been trained in the past five years.

“The increase we are experiencing is alarming. We are working to ensure that our

troopers can identify fraudulent documents during routine traffic stops to do our part in keeping Ohioans safe,” said Colonel David W. Dicken, Patrol superintendent.

“Anyone who has had someone else use their name, social security number or their likeness to commit a crime can understand how important it is that our troopers are trained to detect this type of criminal behavior.”

Patrol investigators believe the increase is a result of people attempting to use or create fraudulent documents or identification cards, felons with warrants attempting to avoid capture or criminals attempting to use stolen credit cards, checks and setting up fake bank accounts.

Well, yes and no. Cats are susceptible to a virus that causes an immunodeficiency syndrome similar to, but different from the AIDS syndrome in people. The feline virus is now called FIV or feline immunodeficiency virus. It has previously been called feline Tlymphotrophic lentivirus (FTLV) and feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (FAIDS) virus.

The virus that causes AIDS in people is called human immunodeficiency virus or HIV, so could easily be confused with the feline immunodeficiency virus or FIV. Although the disease syndromes caused by the two viruses are similar, they do not affect animals of other species. That is, the feline virus does not affect people, nor does the human virus affect cats.

The clinical signs associated with the feline disease are varied because they are largely caused by secondary infections that affect the immunosuppressed cat. The normal resistance to those infections just isn’t there.

Sometimes the only outward signs will be a general unthriftiness and poor hair coat. Other signs include fever, oral infections, skin infections, unrinary bladder infections, or upper respiratory infections. Affected cats also commonly have concurrent infections with the feline leukemia virus, Toxoplasmosis, feline infections peritonitis virus, hemobartonella, and others.

Idol contest to be held at OTF

Stephan Passafiume served in the Marines in World War II and the Korean War and just recently became a resident of the Veterans Home in Georgetown. He has never gardened before, but enjoyed watching his niece plant her garden. Stephan is excited to learn all he can about gardening from his fellow veterans.

When asked what vegetable was his favorite to plant, Stephan was quick to reply, “Hot white icicle radishes! I love to eat them!” When asked what benefits he gained from gardening, Stephan shared that it helps him maintain his health, keeps him active and mentally alert. He also assured me that next year he would have plenty of garden tips to pass on to interested readers.

The 2010 Ripley Idol Contest held at the Ohio Tobacco Festival will be on Saturday, Aug. 28 with registration beginning at 1 p.m. and the contest starting at 2 p.m.

If someone wishes to participate there is a $5.00 entry fee per individual. Acts must avoid any profanity or obscenity in their performances.

All acts are limited to five minutes each and must have cd/tape cued up and turned in when the act registers.

Two area businesses recently made a donation to Western Brown Schools.

American Homeland Title Agency and Yonas & Rink, LLC Attorneys at Law made a donation of schools supplies and gave a check for $500 to help Western Brown Schools towards meeting the needs of disadvantaged students.

The Brown County Press - Sunday, August 22, 2010 - Page 19

DAVID DUGAN put this in the paper this week.

One reason is that the foundation is offering a new program for new farmers that have been operating a farm for less than 5 years called the Next Step Program. This program does not require any tobacco quota as in the past. The other reason I thought it was important to put this in the paper again is that there are still some people that do not know that the foundation exists. I know it has been in the papers and on the local radio, many people have benefited greatly for several years. Just last month I had a family come into my office that had inherited the family farm a few years ago. The farm had been in their name for years and there was a tobacco quota involved. They both had college age children during the past several years, but did not live in Brown Co. They heard about the programs for the first time that day, so maybe someone else is out there in the same boat, and missing out on this opportunity.

For more information about the programs you can call me at the OSU Extension Office at (937) 378-6716 or e-mail me at dugan.46@osu.edu.

You can also contact the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation office by calling (937) 393-2700 or log onto their web site at http://soacdf.net Grazing School in October With the Tobacco Field Tour in the past by the time you read this, you can set your sites on the next few months for additional events that might be of interest. The first one will be a grazing school that will take place in October. The field plots will be going in the ground this week if the weather cooper-

ates. The Grazing School is being conducted by Brown, Clermont and Highland Counties. OSU Extension, SWCD and NRCS from all three counties are working on this together.

The dates for the Grazing School will be Tuesday evenings October 19 and 26 at Eastern Brown High School.

The final part of the school will be on Saturday, October 30 during the day. We will start out at Eastern Brown HS and then go to the field. The plots that we are putting out will be demonstrating crops such as oats, grazing turnips, sudex, and rye. We will also look at some fertility comparisons with the plots.

Controlling Marestail Meeting in November With much of the corn and soybean crop early, and yes, I realize some of it was later than normal, I am looking to have a program in November to discuss the latest strategy on controlling a big problem for many farmers. OSU Weed Specialist, Mark Loux will be presenting the results of the latest work he has done on this problem in midNovember. The plan is to have this program when we hope to have most, if not all, of the crop harvested, but before Thanksgiving. I will post the date, time and location when I get things finalized.

Dates to Remember August 23 - Small Animal Tag-In for 2010 Brown Co. Fair at Georgetown H.S. Agricultural Area, 6 p.m.

August 23 - Last testing opportunity for Quality Assurance for 2010 at Georgetown High School, 6 8 p.m.

August 26 - Quality Assurance Class at Southern Hills Career Center at 5:30 p.m. All exhibitors must have met requirements of Quality Assurance or they will not be permitted to show at the 2010 Brown Co. Fair. This is the last class for 2010.

Tobacco Foundation Programs It has been several years since the first projects were approved for funding by the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation. There have been many improvements on farms with miles of fence built, tons of lime spread, loads of improved genetics in livestock, many pieces of better equipment, buildings and so on. The foundation has been able to utilize the funds that were provided as part of the Master Settlement Agreement with the states and the tobacco companies that took place in the late 1990’s. This was only a small portion of the money that Ohio received.

The majority of the funds were also used throughout the state for other improvements including the construction of new schools, tobacco use prevention programs, biomedical research and technology, and more.

In addition to the improvements made on farms throughout the areas of Ohio that depended on tobacco production for a major part of their income, there has been another very important method of utilizing the funds for families that depended on the money from tobacco. The Educational Assistance program has helped with college tuition for families. The money has helped send several young people to college over the past decade.

The SOACDF is continuing to provide funding for these projects. The application period is going on throughout the month of August for the agricultural projects and these are competitive and require a business plan. The application period runs until the end of March for the Educational Assistance Program. The amount of funds is far less than what was available a few years ago, as the economic situation has affected the funds with this program, too.

There are two reasons that I

New Ripley Museum Curator Kate Cooper stands beside an 1887 fire engine, one of many popular items displayed in that museum. At right is a hearse from the 1800s.

OTF visitors can learn a lot about Ripley history

BY Wayne Boblitt The Brown County Press Visitors to the 2010 Ohio Tobacco Festival in downtown Ripley Aug. 26-29 will have the opportunity to sample some of Ripley's history in addition to taking in that festival's contests, food and entertainment.

Five Ripley-area historyrelated attractions, including two in the downtown area, will be open during part of the festival so OTF goers who have some extra time on their hands may learn about the history of that Southern Brown County village.

The downtown attractions are the Ripley Museum at 219 N. Second St. and the John P. Parker House at 330 Front St. Both the Ripley Museum and the John P. Parker House are located in Ripley's 55-acre Historic District, according to John P. Parker Historical Society President Betty Campbell.

Another attraction near downtown Ripley is the John Rankin House at 6152 Rankin Hill Road, and an uptown Ripley attraction is the Ohio Tobacco Museum at 703 S. Second Street.

A free shuttle service that transports OTF visitors between downtown Ripley and RipleyUnion-Lewis-Huntington High School on South Second Street in uptown Ripley passes by the Ohio Tobacco Museum.

One other attraction of interest in the Ripley area is not located in the village itself but in Union Township, the township in which the village is located. That attraction is the grave site of the real “Aunt Jemima” about 6 miles north of Ripley at Red Oak Presbyterian Church Cemetery at 5754 Cemetery Road.

Ripley Museum Educational The Ripley Museum includes 10 rooms filled with a variety of historic memorabilia from Ripley's past, according to Kate Cooper, that attraction's new curator who took that position earlier this year.

Its memorabilia include furniture, clothing, antique items, old school books and even old vehicles.

Cooper said that museum provides a great opportunity for visitors to learn about history and urged OTF enthusiasts to stop by for a tour.

The Ripley Museum, which is located across from the Ripley Church of The Nazarene, will be open 10 a.m.4 p.m. Saturday, Aug, 28, and noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, during the OTF. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students 6-18. The Ripley Museum's telephone number is (937) 392-4660.

Parker Was Historic Figure The John P. Parker House, which faces the Ohio River in downtown Ripley, was the home of freed slave John P. Parker from 1853 until his death in 1900.

After being freed from slavery, Parker, who was born in 1827, worked as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, which assisted slaves running away from captivity in Southern States to what was hoped would be eventual freedom in Canada.

Campbell said Parker wasn't

believed to have hidden runaway slaves in his home on Front Street but helped get them to other conductors on the Underground Railroad. Parker apparently never was caught or arrested for his Underground Railroad activities.

Parker also was a husband, a father, and an inventor, and his inventions included a plow and, of special interest to OTF visitors and tobacco study enthusiasts, a tobacco press.

The John P. Parker House, located between Locust and Sycamore streets, is on the National Register of Historic Places and also has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

It will be open 10-5 p.m.

Friday and Saturday, Aug. 27 and 28, and 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, during the OTF. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students 6-18. The John P. Parker' House's telephone number is (937) 3924188.

Rankin Was Abolitionist The John Rankin House, another National Historic Landmark, is on a Ripley hill offering a spacious view of the village of Ripley, the Ohio River and Mason County, Ky., across the Ohio River.

The Rev. John Rankin, a Presbyterian minister and an abolitionist who was born in 1793 and died in 1886, lived in that house from 1828 to 1866.

Rankin, a conductor on the Underground Railroad, hid some runaway slaves in that historic Ripley house that bears his name, but he never was caught or arrested.

Perhaps 2,000 runaway slaves hid at the John Rankin House prior to the Civil War, and one of the most famous reportedly hidden there was a young woman who had managed to cross the icy Ohio River with her child. Rankin's account of that escaping slave apparently became the inspiration for the character Eliza in author Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 abolitionist novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin”.

John Rankin House tour guide Susannah West said the house will be open for visitors 10 a.m.-5 p.m. ThursdaySaturday, Aug. 26-28, and

noon-5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, during the OTF. Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for students 6-18 with children 5 and younger admitted free.

The John Rankin House's telephone number is (937) 3921627.

Tobacco Museum interesting The Ohio Tobacco Museum is possibly one of only three museums in the United States dedicated solely to tobacco , according to museum caretaker Ed Fath.

The museum, which opened in 1988, includes a variety of items associated with the tobacco industry and products including large collections of pipes, tobacco cans and boxes, caps advertising cigarette brands, cigarette lighters, matchbook covers, old tied tobacco, and old posters advertising cigarettes.

Edie Fath, Ed Fath's wife and another OTM caretaker, said that museum will be open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 27 and 28, and noon-4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, during the OTF. Admission is a $1 donation.

The Ohio Tobacco Museum's telephone number is (937) 3929410.

Riles portrayed Aunt Jemima Red Oak native Rosa Washington Riles, who was born in 1901 and died in 1969, portrayed the real-life “Aunt Jemima” for the Quaker Oats Company.

Riles is buried in the cemetery at Red Oak Presbyterian Church about 6 miles north of Ripley on Cemetery Road off U.S. 62-68.

According to the Northern Kentucky University Institute for Freedom Studies, Red Oak Presbyterian Church members hosted a Pancake Breakfast in Riles' memory for many years, but that event ceased in 1993.

Also according to that institute, Red Oak Presbyterian Church, just like Presbyterian minister John Rankin, was involved in the 1800s Underground Railroad movement prior to the Civil War. Red Oak Presbyterian Church's telephone number is (937) 392-9366.

resources and global understanding. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center Endowment Fund.

The Ohio 4-H Foundation Board of Trustees has selected Tiney McComb, founder and of Heartland chairman BancCorp, as this year's featured honoree. McComb credits his personal and professional success to the skills and values he gained from a humble start as a 4-H member in West Virginia.

The gift of a cow from an uncle in combination with programming available through 4-H enabled him to become successful in raising and selling highgrade cattle. This opportunity grew into a means to help pay for his college education, but more importantly, provided firsthand understanding of the importance of community and in building strong relationships.

Kinkead Ridge Winery one of two Ohio wineries featured in international wine reference book Internationally-recognized, award-winning Kinkead Ridge Winery will be featured in Opus Vino, an illustrated wine reference book ($75) which will be published in the US, UK and Australia in November 2010, with foreign language editions in 2011 and 2012. Only two Ohio wineries are featured in this book, which features 4,500 international wineries.

The winery (904 Hamburg Street) will re-open for the release of the 2008 red wines on Saturday September 4 and Monday September 6. The vineyard will also be open to the public (4288 Kinkead Road) on these dates, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The new releases are the 2008 Kinkead Ridge Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot.

The winery will also be open on September 11 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and will then close for harvest until the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

In 2008, Kinkead Ridge's Cabernet Franc was rated one of the Top 100 Exciting Wine Finds in the World by Tom Stevenson, British editor of the New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia. Only 12 American wineries were recognized on this international list.

There is a growing interest in locally produced food, both in the "Slow Food" movement, and the "Locavore" movement. Kinkead Ridge grows all their own grapes at their vineyard, which was established in 1999 on a ridge above the Ohio River. For more information,

see www.KinkeadRidge.com or call 937-392-6077. Three other local wineries will also be open, Harmony Hill in Bethel, MerandaNixon in Ripley, and La Vigna in Higginsport.

Kinkead Ridge is asking for the help of the public to pass Senate Bill 287 which is favorable to Ohio wineries. We have been fighting for legislation to revise the Ohio Codes to EXEMPT wineries (producing wine only, not bottling grape juice) from licensing and inspection by the Ohio Department of Agriculture. They are seeking (and have) to classify wineries as producers of a hazardous food product, and licensing and inspecting us as such as a "food processing establishment".

Other states such as California and Oregon exempt wineries from any of this sort of regulation. Nothing harmful to humand can live in wine and so there is no food safety issue evident. We are already regulated by the Ohio Division of Liquor Control and the Federal Trade and Tax Bureau (formerly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) Other states such as California and Oregon exempt wineries from any of this sort of regulation.

Members of the Brown County General Hospital Foundation’s Scholarship Committee are busy planning the Annual Fall Golf Outing which is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 10, with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. at the Friendly Meadows Golf Course in Hamersville, Oh. This is the Hospital’s 24th Annual Golf Outing and promises to be a day filled with good food, prizes, raffles, and a Holein-One contest.

The cost of the outing is $80 which includes lunch, golf, cart and dinner. Proceeds from the outing benefit the Foundation’s Healthcare Careers Scholarship Program which was established to assist students in the Brown County School Districts who are entering healthcare careers. The Foundation is currently provid-

ing ongoing scholarships for five students.

The following are confirmed as sponsors for this year’s outing: Dressman, Benzinger, LaVelle; Shelley & Donnie Sroufe; Hospice of Hope, Inc.; Champlin/Haupt Architects; Pat Oberschlake & Family; Southern State Community the News College; Democrat/Ripley Bee; and C103 Radio.

Wood Insurance is sponsoring the $10,000 hole in one.

If you are interested in golfing or supporting the outing with a donation or would like more information, please contact Teri Baumann at (937) 3787712 by September 3rd. You can also visit www.bcrhc.org for more information or to sign up to play.

Philip Morris International awards college scholarships to 41 students nationwide In June 2010, Philip Morris International (PMI) awarded International Tobacco Procurement (ITP) scholarships to 41 college-bound students from throughout the U.S. tobaccogrowing states. Since 2001, PMI’s scholarship program has provided nearly $2 million in educational assistance to hundreds of U.S. college students from tobacco farm families.

“We’re pleased to offer educational support to the families of the hard-working farmers who provide us with the world’s best quality tobacco,” says Lee Ryan, PMI Director of Agricultural Programs.

“Improving education and helping strengthen the local farming communities where we source our tobacco are top PMI priorities.”

A single parent of three children, Mike Williams of Shelbyville, Ky., has been selling his tobacco to Philip Morris for the last five years via direct contracting. His daughter, Brittney, is one of the 2010 scholarship recipients, and will be attending the University of Louisville for nursing. “She’s a hard worker, gets great grades and I’m extremely proud of her,” Williams says. “I can’t say enough about the scholarship program. It’s a big help, and one of the best things PMI could do for our family.”

Robert Blythe of Seaman, Ohio, is also thankful for the 2010 PMI ITP scholarship awarded to his daughter, Sarah. “She’s attending the University of Kentucky for premed, and this scholarship is helping ensure Sarah’s future,” he says. “That financial assistance is a wonderful help. We had a real wet season last year, and our tobacco crop wasn’t very good.” A full-time farmer, Blythe has grown tobacco for many years, and currently has 65 acres.

Two types of PMI ITP scholarships are available: college/in-college scholarships for high school seniors and in-college students planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree; and vocational/technical scholarships for high school seniors or graduates pursuing a twoyear vocational or technical degree.

In contrast to many scholar-

ships, the PMI ITP scholarship program supports students throughout the full length of their schooling. “Every year, we’re helping anywhere from 100 to 150 students further their education,” Ryan adds. “Many of these students come from families with a long history of growing tobacco.”

The family of another 2010 scholarship recipient, David Lloyd Thomas of Timberlake, N.C., has been growing tobacco for more than a century. “Our family has been farming for over six generations, and I feel fortunate to have been raised in this environment,” Thomas says. His family’s operation, Thomas Family Farms Inc., currently includes 150+ acres of flue-cured tobacco, as well as corn, wheat, soybeans and hogs.

Thomas is using his scholarship to continue his education in agriculture at Mount Olive College in Mount Olive, N.C. “With the help from PMI, I will have the opportunity to achieve my goal in pursuing a career that will not only help me, but my community as well.

Our family has always considered Philip Morris to be a partner in the success of our family farm and we look forward to continuing this relationship.”

Scholarship recipient Megan Brooke Copass of Fountain Run, Ky., also plans to study agriculture at Western Kentucky University.

“One hundred percent of my family’s income comes from farming.

Not only do we raise tobacco, we have dairy and beef cows,” she says. “Since I truly understand the real meaning of working for what I have, I am grateful for the financial help it will give my parents and me.”

Several 2010 scholarship recipients are pursuing degrees in agriculture. Other common majors include nursing, engineering and chemistry. Scholarship amounts are based on merit and financial need, and winners are chosen by an independent committee.

For PMI ITP tobacco contract holders, 2011 scholarship applications will be available this fall at local PMI receiving stations.
