Southern State cuts the ribbon

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press Years of hoping and planning paid off on Aug. 20 as Southern State Community College officially cut the ribbon to open the Mt. Orab campus.

“The facility dedication we are hosting here today is just one component of us ful-

filling Southern State’s mission and vision,” said Dr. Kevin Boys, SSCC President. “In dedicating this facility tonight, we also dedicate ourselves to ensuring that what happens inside these walls continues to be relevant and responsive. We will continue to strengthen our relationship with our K12 school districts and our

career tech centers so that more high school students will set their sights on post high school education. We also rededicate ourselves tonight to bringing to reality the vision of a campus in Adams County where we can expand our reach there as we do here.”

“It’s an accomplishment that will help Mt. Orab and

Brown County continue to grow. I think that our enrollment will grow as well and it’s a win for everyone involved” said SSCC Board Member Paul Hall.

He added that the new building was only the beginning in the long term planning for the campus.

“We believe that this building will eventually be

one of four. Long term, we see this as a campus of four buildings”, Hall said.

He added that there was more construction planned for the immediate future for the college.

“We are already looking forward to building a new campus in Adams County and we hope to have that project underway as soon as

next Spring.”

Hall said the new Adams County campus would be one story, but have the same floor plan as the new Mt. Orab campus.

“That will save us tens of thousands of dollars in architectural fees and other costs”, Hall said.

He also expressed his CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

It was a day when members of the Brown County community joined together to show support for a worthy cause, a day when retired NBA standout Brian Grant returned to his original hometown of Georgetown to reunite with family and old friends, and a day when Mother Nature provided the beautiful weather for a funfilled day outdoors. The day was August 16, and the calling that brought crowds of people to the Courthouse Square in Georgetown was the second annual Shake It, Bake It, Grill It for Parkinson’s Disease hosted by the Brian Grant Foundation. This year’s event would raise nearly $15K, including the donations that were made, according to event director and Brian Grant’s mother, Dorella “GiGi” Grant.

“The weather was so nice, and it really helped that we had a food sponsor (Mark Curry) for this year’s event,” said Dorella Grant. “I think it

went very well, and we had some different things this year that brought more people out.”

Curry, a Georgetown native, donated the food for the event, so all proceeds from food sales went to benefit the Brian Grant Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease.

New to this year’s Shake It, Bake It, Grill It was the Metric Century Bike Ride sponsored by Freedom Gear Cyclery and coordinated by Mike Jennings, an educator of Georgetown Jr./Sr. High School who is known for his solo benefit bike ride across the United States. According to Jennings, there were a total of 30 bikers pedaling for Parkinson’s at this year’s Shake It, Bake It, Grill it.

Fun was available for people of all ages. For the fitness buffs, there was the early morning bike ride and the 5K Run/Walk. Children had their choice of two bouncy houses, games, and raced around the Courthouse Square in the Kid’s Fun Run. There was also plenty of time to socialize while enjoying great food,

drinks, and music. And let’s not forget the grand grill off, which brought some tough competition. After the panel of judges made up of Brown County Municipal Court Judge Joe Worley, Dr. Jeff Donohoo, and Attorney Mike Kelly; it was Val Lewis taking first prize in the Grill Off. Brian Grant, while enjoying homemade ice cream, said he was glad to see so many people come out to support his cause with the weather cooperating to make for a successful event for the second straight year. He would get to spend a little time with Ohio State Representative Doug Green in the jail and bail, which also proved to be a successful source for raising funds during the event.

There were several volunteers who helped to make the second annual Shake It, Bake It, Grill It a success that included event directors Katie Kelly, Shawna Slack, Grant, and Jennings, and activity coordinators Cathy Zurbuch, Mark Bolce, and Rachel Spires.

Dorella Grant said they are already thinking ahead to next year’s Shake It, Bake It, Grill It; looking into possible ways to improve the event, such as giving away a high quality smoker grill as the top prize for the Grill Off. “We are looking for more people to reach out to for next year. We want to keep improving,” she said.

Unemployment numbers flat Mt. Orab

BY Wayne Gates The Brown County Press The unemployment rate in Brown County for July is down .1 percent to 6.0, continuing a trend of numbers not seen since before the “great recession” of 2008.

The last time the county saw a 6.0 jobless rate in July was in 2007.

Other area counties all saw a small decrease in their unemployment rates as well, with Adams and Clermont counties both dropping .1 percent to 7.9 for Adams County and 5.2 for Clermont County.

Highland County saw a .2 percent drop to 7.1 percent and Clinton County saw a .3 percent drop to 7.5 percent.

This area of southwest Ohio went against a slight upward trend in the state, where the unemployment rate rose in 73 of 88 counties.

The jobless rate for the Cincinnati metro area rose from 5.3 percent in June to 5.4 percent in July.

Statewide, the rate rose from 5.9 in June to 6.0 in July.

The highest unemployment rate in Ohio was once again in Monroe County at 12.2 percent.

The rest of the top five are Meigs County at 9.4 percent, Pike County at 8.9 percent and Huron and Monroe counties at 8.8 percent.

Locally, Adams County had the 8th highest jobless rate in the state, followed

by Clinton County in 13th place, Highland County at 19th place, Brown County in 42nd place and Clermont County in 70th place.

Mercer County had the lowest unemployment rate in the state at 3.3 percent.

As a measure of progress in Brown County, the jobless rate here hovered between 2025th highest in the state consistently for the past few years until this Spring.

The unemployment rate then began improving relative to other counties, with Brown County breaking new ground in July for a tie with four other counties for 42nd place on the county by county list in Ohio.

Saturday August 30th, 2014 Martha B. Jacob/THE BROWN COUNTY PRESS

Georgetown Mayor Dale Cahall says goodbye to village administrator Jeremy Germann. Germann has accepted a job in Idaho.

Volunteer Fire Department Award of the Year Award for 2014,” Rockey said, wearing a big smile. “I was thrilled about this award and I think it speaks volumes for our department and this community as well. There will be a special ceremony on Wednesday, September 17 at 1 p.m. in Reynoldsburg.”

Rockey also told council that an EMT training class would be held in a couple weeks and at least one firefighter was transitioning over to the EMS and another five who were planning to transition.

Dan Wickerham with Adams/Brown Recycling spoke briefly with council regarding changing the village recycling program from recycling pick-up twice a month to every week. He recommended the change, with the full support of Germann who suggested the village try the new plan on a one year pilot program.

Council approved the plan.

Germann added that the cost of the pilot program would be $8,000 but that funds were available and the program would begin in January, 2015.

Beginning at 7pm Love offering for him will be accepted.

Eastern’s FCCLA program strong and growing In school year 2012-2013, Eastern High School relaunched its FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) program. Advisor for the program was Joan Garrett who was paid with funds raised by the students in the program.

At the August 19 Eastern Local School board meeting, Garrett asked the board if it could find the $2,000 stipend from somewhere else. She said she felt like the students worked very hard for the money they raised and shouldn’t have to pay her salary.

“Having had a great first year,” Garrett said, “we are now looking to expand and continue the program. However, money, always seems to drive what we are able to do. I know that when I was hired under a supplemental contract it was just for advising the FCCLA we were told we could continue if we could be self supportive.”

Garrett brought several students who are members of the Eastern FCCLA and an alumni with her to tell the

board about how important the program is to them. Each student stood and spoke briefly and thanked Ms. Garrett for the job she was doing and how the program has helped them.

Following a few questions by board members and an explanation from treasurer Kevin Kendall, that the $2,000 could come out of the general fund-student activity account, the board agreed to the proposal.

In other business at the meeting Kendall asked the board to accept the resignation of Johnna Cattine, 7th grade teacher. The board accepted the resignation.

Kendall told the board that he needed to fill the positions of delegate and alternate delegate to the OSBA (Ohio School Board Association) conference scheduled for Nov. 10. Board member Martin Yockey was named delegate while board member Vern Creighton was named alternate.

The board accepted the workers compensation group rating program with Shakeley at a 22% rate.

The board approved two request for use of the buildings and five field trip requests.

After a brief executive session the following actions were taken: • a contract with the teachers union was ratified; • the FY 15 classified handbook and salary increases to classified and administrative employees was approved;

• the list of superintendent’s goals was approved; • the unofficial results from the OAA/OFT 20132014 were reviewed; • JV Boys basketball will be Jordan Michael; • Varsity Golf coach, Jeff Johnson; • Eastern High School athletic director, Sharon Hauck; • volunteer assistant high school athletic director, Russ Hauck; • FCCLA advisor/instructor, Joan Garrett.

Fayetteville Firemen’s Festival faces grim future

BY Martha B. Jacob The Brown County Press

Since 1950, the Fayetteville Firemen’s Festival has been the departments biggest fundraiser, but times are changing and the fire department must change with the times, according to Mark Rosselot, assistant Fire Chief with the fire department.

Rosselot spoke briefly to members of the Fayetteville Village Council about the future of the festival.

“I have addressed the fire department trustees, as president, and basically ask them if I could talk to council our festival,” Rosselot told council at its Aug. 13 meeting.

“We have to do something about the firemen’s

festival. It’s not a moneymaker anymore. It’s taking too much work to pull off and everyone thinks we’re making a lot of money, but we’re not. This year we barely raised $3,000. It’s getting worse every year and we just don’t know how to make it better.”

Rosselot went on to discuss some of the things the festival has tried to do including a large food venue, but ended up taking money away from the department.

“We’ve held our festival on fathers day for 60 years now, and we are hearing that there are other things to do for fathers day other than attend the festival,” Rosselot said. “And our resources are getting too strung out, there

aren’t as many of us as there once was. Most of us here can remember back when this town used to just shut down for the firemen’s festival. And the whole town was involved. But it isn’t like that anymore.”

Rosselot said his department doesn’t know what they’re going to do. He said he has talked about the problem with Fayetteville Chief of Police, Randy Carson and wanted any input from council.

“I just want council aware that this issue exists. We’re not saying we’re not going to have the festival next year, we’re just saying we can’t continue operating the festival the way we are now.”

Rosselot said there has been discussion on possibly moving the date. He said he hopes the community will understand the problem.

In the absence of Mayor Bernie Vilvens, vice mayor Jim McMullen led the meeting.

In other actions, village clerk Barb Kiley told council that the village financial statement was holding its own and running about the same as last years budget.

Chief Carson reported that four new tires had been purchased for his cruiser and the vehicle was running well.

Village Administrator Bob Campbell told council that he would be purchasing paint for the fire hydrants in the village, and community

service workers would be doing the work.

Councilman Joe Huber said he had been talking to a representative from Smart Services, Inc. who had bid on the cistern project in the village. Several cisterns must be filled in, either by the village or the state.

It was an emotional Georgetown Council meeting August 14 as the mayor and council members said goodbye to village administrator Jeremy Germann who resigned his position of two years a few weeks ago.

Germann told council in his letter of resignation that he had accepted a job with the U.S. Department of Energy in Idaho. Friday, August 15 marked his last day as administrator.

Germann thanked Mayor Dale Cahall for appointing him as administrator and council and employees for supporting him the past two years.

“Everyone in this town has been tremendously supportive of me,” Germann said, “I have only nice things to say about this village. I wouldn’t be leaving if this wasn’t a real opportunity for me and my family.”

“It is with heartfelt thanks and well-wishes that we give Mr. Germann a gracious farewell,” Mayor Cahall said as he shook Germann’s hand.

During the meeting council heard from Ron Roberts, Georgetown building inspector, who has been actively

trying to help the village clean up old, unsafe, dilapidated buildings in the village.

Roberts said that he had now received permission to tear down two of the three houses the village hoped to have demolished.

The cost to the village for the demolition will be added to the current property taxes of the home owners.

Julie Rockey, representing the Georgetown Athletic Boosters, asked council to approve a bonfire.

“We are planning an outdoor pep rally on August 28, for the community and for our student athletes,” Rockey said, “We’re requesting permission to have a bonfire during the pep rally.”

Following a brief discussion by full council and a request by Mayor Cahall that all state mandated permits from the fire marshall were obtained, permission to have the bonfire was granted.

Fire Chief Joey Rockey also told council that he had been recently notified that his department had received an award from the Firefighter and Fire Safety Inspector Training Committee, along with the Ohio Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Medical Services.

Jimmy Ellis, Sardinia, was in and brought in this old photo of the Big 3 Concert Band. The Big 3 Concert Band (1949 to 1957) was formed at the Sardinia School building by School Director Roger “Jim” McQuitty. Rehearsals were held at Sardinia School where members came from three counties, Adams, Brown and Highland. The band’s first concert was held on August 22, 1949 and its last concert was held on August 26, 1957. McQuitty was the director until he collapsed at the Brown County Fair in 1950, at the age of only 45. He had taught in Brown County for 13 years. Clark Alexander, a trumpet player, took over the duties of director. This picture was taken at Decatur School on April 21, 1955.

Another hard lesson learned Fighting to save

It was an awful hot summer eve in the sixties that I learned the importance of a modern convenience of a window screen. You know, it is to keep out bugs, especially the mosquitos but I learned one summer of my youth that it is far more valuable than just keeping out mosquitos, or the common bug and here’s how I learned this.

That first summer season in our farmhouse, sister Debbie and I, being the oldest of the four children, learned how to properly install the portable wooden framed screens into our window’s opening. While one held the window up, unless of course one was lucky and the window could stay up on its own, one stretched the frame out to fit in the window opening then pushed the window down on top to hold it in place. “Make it fit snuggly to keep the bugs out,” mother schooled us. And then there are times when one gets distracted and simply forgets to insert the screen in the open window and a terrifying situation occurs. I remember it well.

We had returned after dark from visiting our cousins. What a grand time we had indeed. The car ride home was wonderful too since the wind whipping in the windows cooled us. But upon entering the comforts of home it happened. Mom entered the house first with us kids following her like ducklings. Our parent’s bedroom was right off the kitchen and dining room with two doors to enter from either room. We kids stopped in the kitchen for a Kool-Aid beverage when

suddenly from her bedroom mom began to hoot and holler.

“Oops. Oh my! Ahhhhh!” Then one of the bedroom doors closed loudly.

Sister and I had never heard our mother carry on in such a frightened manner. We didn’t know whether we should run for our lives, hide or what.

Quickly from the bedroom she ran into the kitchen slamming the door behind her obviously frightened.

“What’s wrong,” I asked.

“There’s a bat in there.” We all looked at one another while she was deep in thought. “I thought it was going to get caught in my hair,” she shuddered. “If it gets tangled up in your hair it can bite you and give you rabies.”

With wide eyes we watched mom desperately thinking, while we could hear the bat hitting the wall. Suddenly, Mom said, “The light, it bothers them.

I have to turn off the light, which meant she had to open the door to reach the light switch. Reluctantly she turned the door knob and reached in to switch off the light; the bat swooped past the door as she did so.

truthfully I feared the next time she opened the door a man might be standing there instead.

Finally, knowing daddy was at work until one in the morning, she said talking to herself, “It’s late, I know but I have to call Mr. Rembis,” our dear neighbors who lived within a mile or so of our home. After hearing how she describes our dilemma, he agreed he would come over. Time stood still waiting for the head lamps of his truck to turn into our driveway.

After he finally got there, Mr. Rembis asked, “Do you have a broom?” I ran to the pantry to fetch it.

He put on his heavy leather gloves then disappeared behind the door into the dark. The light came on shining from under the door which obviously aggravated the bat and we heard it flying into the wall again. “Bats don’t like lights, remember, we saw it in the vampire movie,” I whispered. “Shut up,” Debbie insisted.

After a brief scuffle we heard a high pitched squealing. Mr. Rembis came through the door with broom and bat in hand and the look of victory written on his otherwise gruff face.

We wanted to look and then we didn’t want to look and then we did because he encouraged us too. And when we did, I do believe it was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. He told us he noticed that one of the windows didn’t have a screen in it, . . . yikes. He, now being our hero walked through the house with mom before he left to make sure this was the only one in the house.

And so we learned what an important job we had that day. From then on, the screens had a new purpose as bat deterrents and we were happy to make sure they were all in place. It was a very important job indeed. One that two little farm girls could, and would, take pride in doing from that day forward.

Ohio Postal Service jobs

In 2015, the United States Postal Service (USPS) plans to close and consolidate up to 82 mail processing facilities across the country – including ones in Akron, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown – putting 15,000 jobs at risk.

To protect these jobs and ensure that Ohioans continue to receive reliable mail service, I joined with 49 other Senators in signing a letter, urging the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee and the Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government to prevent all USPS closings and consolidations through Fiscal Year 2015.

As our economy recovers, workers can’t afford to be without a paycheck. This extension would give Congress time to pass comprehensive postal reform legislation to fund USPS operations and keep over 1,000 Ohioans in good-paying jobs.

This Congress, I introduced The Postal Service Protection Act, alongside seven other senators, to modernize and save USPS. This legislation would preserve Saturday mail delivery, restrict the closure of rural and urban post offices, and protect mail processing facilities to ensure maintenance of timely service.

It would also address the Postal Service’s financial problems by eliminating the requirement that it pre-fund 75 years’ worth of future re-

The TANF Youth Specialists, Caylah Baldwin, Pam Chandler, and Tina Wright, along with Angela Sutter, WIA/TANF Youth Specialist would like to thank all of the youth who participated for an exciting summer. We would also like to thank all of the local businesses throughout Adams and Brown counties for allowing youth to be a part of your staff, “Without the participating businesses there would be no TANF Summer Youth Employment Program.” For further information about any of the programs offered through Ohio Means Jobs you may call 1-800-233-7891.

THE DOOR

Matthew 7:13-14: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

According to the Bible, the majority are not on the right road; they are on the broad road. The narrow road is Jesus only. Jesus is the one who died on the cross for our sins. There is no other way to heaven but Jesus. Jesus said in John 10:9: “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved...” He died for the whole world. John 3:16-17 states: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Back in Matthew 7 verses 21-23 says: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Jesus will say: “...I never knew you...” Ladies and gentlemen, He will not say: I knew you once, but I don’t know you now. No, He will say: “I never knew you”.

These are the people that talk about Jesus; they have done many wonderful works in His name; but they never really became a Christian. It is not difficult to become a Christian.

Romans 10:13 tells us: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” However, you have to be sincere in your heart. You can not fake it. I would not want the day to come and then hear Jesus say: “..I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Look with me in Matthew chapter 24. Jesus is coming back again someday, but, His arrival will be in two different ways and two different times. In Matthew 24 verse 27 it says: “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and

DR. CHARLES SMITH

MT. ORAB BIBLE BAPTIST CHURCH WWW.BBMTORAB.COM

shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Verse 30 says: “...with power and great glory.” Jude 14-15 tells us: “...Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

When Jesus comes that way, it is “not” what we call the Rapture. This arrival is obvious. He is going to come and put His feet on the Mount of Olives and the whole mountain splits according to Zechariah 14:4! However, Matthew chapter 24 also talks about another coming. Look at verses 37-39: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” We are as it was in the days of Noah now! Watch, this coming is sudden and not everyone will know it. Verse 40: “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Two people working together and one just suddenly disappears! (I Cor. 15:51-54; I Thes. 4:14-17). Verse 44: “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.”

Notice the word “hour”; it didn’t say day, or month, or year.

His timing is precise. No man knows when Jesus is coming.

Are you ready for His coming?

Have you literally asked the Lord to save you? If not, you are not a Christian! You have to come in at the door! You have to ask for entrance.

Ready, set, let’s roll

BY Christopher J. Burrows Superintendent, Georgetown Exempted Village Schools

Usually when it’s back to school time parents and teachers are ready for students to be back. Students on the other hand are typically requesting another few weeks off because the break wasn’t quite long enough.

This school year has been a little different. I have spoken with several of our students lately that tell me they are ready to get back into school. After hearing this repetitively, the inquisitive side of me began to wonder.

Why is this year different?

Why are so many of our students suddenly eager for school to begin? I set out to find some answers to my questions and learned the importance of listening to the voice of our youth.

Depending upon the student that I spoke with, the answers to the above questions varied slightly, however there were some major themes that were common among all who were so eager to return. K-6 grade students are ready to return so they can meet their new teachers and see their old teachers again. The older students also overwhelmingly are excited to start to learn Spanish. One student shared with me that he wanted to be a missionary in Mexico when he got older and was excited that he could start working on that goal this year in the 5th grade. Another student was excited to learn Spanish so

they could be smarter than their parents at something.

Our 7-12 grade students are excited to return so they could meet their new teachers and like the elementary students they were eager to see their teachers of the past as well. Many of them also noted that they were anxious to return so they could catch up with friends they hadn’t seen over the summer. All these were pale in comparison to the response that they are ready to begin using IPADS for learning. At our IPAD rollout in early August I had a grandmother approach me, with tears running down her face, and thank me for providing this opportunity for her grandchildren. “Without this program we would have never been able to afford to put two computers in our home for them. I told them I would get Internet now so they can do their lessons.” One student commented, “I’m ready to get back to school this year because it’s going to be fun!” Our students are happy to return to school because they love our staff and because they are excited about all of the new ways that we have for them to learn. Isn’t it amazing what we can actually learn when we listen to our students!

As a father of three Georgetown students, as a community member and as the leader of this great district, I am equally as excited to get back into the swing of things. I am excited to watch our students as they are deeply engaged in the learning process. I am excited to watch them learn skills and

be exposed to cutting edge researched based practices that will set them apart from other graduates throughout the state and the country. I am excited to watch our caring staff embrace our students and challenge them to become better human beings and better students than they ever dreamed they could be.

I am excited about all of the possibilities that will exist as the future of Georgetown comes through our doors this week!

Our aim at Georgetown is to be a place where all students want to come learn, a place where all parents want to send their children and a place where everyone wants to work. Our goals for this year are: We will….. Be fiscally responsible. Agree to prioritize spending on resources that have a direct impact on learning. Agree to keep the district operating at or above an average of 70 days cash.

We will….Support the work outlined in the district strategic plan.

We will….Increase all indicators on our district report card by at least 3% and our average ACT score by 1%.

We will….become a school where all students want to attend, all staff wants to work and all parents want to send their children.

We will….. NOT accept Mediocrity in any fashion by any employee.

We will….Always ask the question, how is this decision making things better for Georgetown Exempted Village School Students?

Is There A Future Veterinarian In the Family?

Children are often asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Their responses vary from teacher, doctor to dancer and baseball player and everything in between.

For a group of tweens and teens who responded “Veterinarian or Veterinary Technician,” their dream comes true a little early, at least in part. All Creatures Animal Hospital in Amelia, offers a week-long Vet Camp to children with veterinary aspirations.

Participants ages 10 to 18 assist in various aspects of veterinary practice, including learning the differences between small animals and exotic pets. The students watch surgeries and learn what testing equipment is and what it is used for.

Checking for intestinal parasites under a microscope and taking the vital signs of dogs and cats is always a camp favorite. While not always glamorous, organizers of the camp believe that the hands-on experience participants receive will make a great impression on them as they pursue a veterinary career.

During the first four days of the camp, a licensed veterinary technician helps participants explore numerous veterinary medicine topics. This material stresses how important it is to be able to recognize the function, appearance and structure of a normal animal in contrast to a sick or abnormal one. Another important topic that is covered is training, learning animal behavior.

DAN MEAKIN CREATURE FEATURE

The final day of the camp takes participants on a field trip to a local horse farm.

The students learn about equines and equine medicine. They are able to have hands-on experience with the horses while learning

about their body structure.

The camp’s hands-on, behind-the-scenes approach to veterinary medicine keeps the week exciting and only costs $125 including expenses. For more information, or to sign up give us a call at 513-797-7387.

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

Chemicals for the Manufacture of Drugs and third degree felony Endangering Children. There was a child under eighteen living in the home at 12301 US 68 when the alleged drug activity occurred.

All four also face chargers for Possessing Criminal Tools, a fifth degree felony.

The drug bust began as a traffic stop in Mt. Orab on Aug. 15.

MOPD Sergeant Christopher Hodges pulled Sexton over after noting that his car fit the description of a stolen vehicle.

Fondenberger was a passenger.

Hodges arrested Sexton after verifying that he had an active arrest warrant and

then told Fondenberger to get out of the car.

MOPD Patrolman Michael Dearing then searched Fondenberger, finding a full box of Pseudoephedrine.

Meanwhile, Hodges searched the car and found a digital scale, hypodermic needles, coffee filters, ziploc bags, a yellow funnel and a dust mask.

“After further questioning, (Fondenberger) advised that he had picked up the decongestant up from his residence and was taking it to a friends house so that they could use it to make Methamphetamine”, Hodges writes in court documents. “(Sexton) advised that the residence they were in

route to on US 68 south of Mt. Orab is where he was making Methamphetamine and that he had a lab in the process of cooking at that location. (Sexton advised that he would take us to the residence and show us the active lab that was in a shed behind the residence”.

At this point, the Brown County Sheriff’s Office and Ohio Highway Patrol were contacted for assistance.

“Once on scene, units located Christopher Wells behind a shed with an active lab working inside and Mark Davison fled the shed into the woods and was taken into custody”, Hodges writes.

The Brown County Sheriff’s Office then processed the scene.

SSCC cuts the ribbon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 thanks for the support that Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce Lunsford and the Mt. Orab Village Council gave to the project. “”Whatever the college needed or wanted, Bruce Lunsford and the village council did whatever was in their power to make it happen”, he said.

“The village actually bought the poles for the traffic lights ahead of time to make sure they were here in time for classes to start this week. It’s that kind of commitment that helped make this project a reality.”

Lunsford said he was thrilled to be at the ribbon cutting.

“It was an unbelieveable feeling to see something that we’ve all worked for years and years to finally come to fruition. It was a great feeling.”

He also said the campus was pleasing to the eye.

“It’s a beautiful building.

It’s well laid out and doesn’t just look like a big box with a hallway down the middle.

I think people should come out and check it out.”

Lunsford also said that the presence of the campus would help the economy and the future of Mt. Orab and Brown County.

“It will have benefits spinning off in ways we haven’t even thought about yet. It will also be a great benefit for everyone who can stay closer to home to get their first two years of college in, and they can also get specialized training to enter the job market.”

Hall said the philosophy of the people of Southern State comes down to one simple idea.

“We are always looking for ways to make the quality of life for the citizens of these five counties better.”

Classes begin at the new campus on August 25.

BCRWA votes to pay Aberdeen

CMYK

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 A hearing on the matter was held on Aug. 15, but it didn’t last very long.

After hearing from attorneys from both sides, Common Pleas Judge Scott Gusweiler said from the bench that the BCRWA was not yet the owner of the Aberdeen water system, and therefore was premature in filing a request to stop Applegate’s activities.

He granted the motion of Applegate attorney John Estill to continue the matter until Sept. 15.

Estill argued at the hearing that the vote of village residents to approve the sale of the water system to the BCRWA had not yet been certified by the Brown County Board of Elections and that the BCRWA had not yet paid the village the $700,000 for the water system that is called for in the contract between the two entities.

Gusweiler also directed

that the Village of Aberdeen become a party in the legal proceeding.

The Aberdeen Village Council voted to join the civil suit on August 18, the same day the vote was certified by the Board of Elections.

Purdy filed an amended complaint against Applegate in anticipation of the Sept. 15 hearing on Aug. 20.

The new complaint adds the Village of Aberdeen as a party and also refers to a federal law that Purdy said is relevant to the case.

“The federal statute, 7 U.S.C. 1926(b) protects rural water associations from encroachment of its territory by other water systems. Brown County Rural Water claims the Aberdeen Mobile Home Park is its territory”, wrote Purdy in his press release.

Applegate told The Brown County Press on Aug. 15 that she wants to provide free water to the homes in her

mobile home park in Aberdeen.

In the complaint, Purdy writes that 260 taps are involved, while Applegate puts the number at about 300.

She wants to bring water from wells that have been drilled on her property south of Highway 52 to service the homes in the mobile home park she owns just west of Aberdeen.

Applegate submitted samples and other paperwork to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for approval, but the Ohio EPA said on Aug. 20 that her submission was missing some required documentation and returned it to her. Ohio EPA Public Information Officer Dana Pierce said that Applegate could resubmit her application for review once the required documentation is provided.

The May 7 contract between the village and the BCRWA refers to the village and “adjacent areas of Hunt-

ington township” in numerous places, but only those residents within the village voted on the question of its approval.

One of the contingencies of the contract reads “All water users in and out of the village shall become customers and members of the association.”

This presumably includes the residents of the mobile home park outside the village that Applegate plans to provide with free water.

In the original complaint asking for the restraining order, Purdy wrote “If Defendants are permitted to build a treatment plant, install water lines and serve customers, Plaintiff will be damaged and such action is a violation of its contract with the Village of Aberdeen.”

Purdy said that BCRWA is planning to spend $2.5 million to serve the residents of Aberdeen and the surrounding area.

The members of the Southern State Community College Board of Trustees held their meeting at the new campus in Mt. Orab, Aug. 20.

All members present were Paul Hall, Michelle Cimis, Kevin Boys, Doug Boedeker, Mike Pell and Donald Moore.

President Kevin Boys welcomed everyone to the meeting and expressed his excitement for the opening of the facility ahead of schedule.

“We’ve been making an attempt to move our board meetings around to all our campuses,” Boys said, “and we’re so pleased to be out here at the new Brown County campus.”

Boys briefly discussed the ‘Co-op/Internship program which he said was a huge success. SSCC placed 26 students in the program and of the 26, 23 students were hired by the businesses where they wanted to be placed.

“That, to me, is a phenomenal statistic,” he added.

A grant pays part of the student’s salary while they’re in training. So this program is working the way it should.”

Boys told the board about a recent event in Wilmington where the Ohio National Guard visited the north campus providing free health services. The event served 375 local residents (150 were children under the age of 15). He said he considered the event a good-will gesture by SSCC. In other business at the meeting board treasurer, Jim Buck updated the board on the financial report.

Buck told the board that he didn’t have a lot to say yet about enrollment, which he said was basically flat, but he would know more by the

September meeting.

“Our revenue was down last fiscal year, about 5 or 6 percent below our estimates,” Buck said. “which is interesting because our expenses were at 5.7%.”

Buck briefly told the board that it was too early to tell how he expected the upcoming fiscal year will do financially. He said that all the available funds from bonds were used up during the construction of the Mt. Orab campus, which is exactly what the board wanted to happen.

He also said that at least $250,000 in scholarships had been given out, which was $70,000 over what had been budgeted, but still less than had been given away in past years.

Also approved was a bid from Marvin Wilson with Wilson National Real Estate, to handle the sale of the SSCC campus in Fincastle.

Sardinia resident and watercolorist Marjorie Muller, was recently awarded a merit award from the Salmagundi Art Club in New York City.

“I was very excited to learn about the award I won from Salmagundi Art Club,” Muller said. “My watercolor entry was called “On the Rocks 1,” and was from a beautiful picture I had taken of a stream in Gatlinburg, Tennessee where brightly colored leaves were hung up in bunches on the rocks.”

The Salmagundi Art

Club was founded in 1871 and is one of the oldest art organizations in the United States. It is located in Greenwich Village in New York City.

The Club owns a collection of over 1,500 works of art with a membership of nearly 850 artists and patrons.

Muller is an award winning artist who has been painting most of her life.

She is owner of “Muller Gallery” fifteen years in Gatlinburg, but now makes her home in Sardinia on a 200 acre farm.

It’s tee time for local teams Golf teams enter new season

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press It's tee time once again, and local golf teams have taken to the courses with hopes of another successful season.

For the Georgetown GMen, repeating a Southern Buckeye Athletic/Academic Conference National Division champions is at the top of their list of goals for the 2014 season, and once again they will have the talent and determination to do so.

Among the three Georgetown golfers to earn spots on the SBAAC National Division First Team of allstars last season, only one was lost to graduation. On the return for their senior seasons are SBAAC First Team golfers Hugh Highlander and Clinton McElroy. Joining the two returning all-stars are six other Georgetown varsity golfers, some with a great deal of varsity experience and others new to the varsity team.

On the return for her senior season of high school golf is Jessica Griffith. This marks Griffith's fourth season as a member of the Georgetown varsity golf

team, and you can expect her to aid the G-Men in their quest to defend their league crown.

New to the Georgetown golf team this season is senior Jake Cropper. Cropper may lack in experience, but he is showing consistent improvement every time he takes to the course.

Dakota Gray and Brendan Hatfield make up Georgetown's junior golfers who are looking to make a name for themselves at the varsity level.

The G-Men have one sophomore golfer this season, Ethan Evans, and one freshman, Alex Zurbuch, making his varsity golf debut.

With eight golfers on the roster, this marks the largest varsity golf team Georgetown head coach Sheri Griffith has had in her years of coaching.

“We have a big group this year, and I'm glad to see so much interest in golf at Georgetown,” said Sheri Griffith. “Clinton (McElroy) has been our leading scorer early in the season.

Our other returning senior golfers haven't been performing their best early in the season, but they are working hard to turn things

The G-Men faced off against golf teams from Ripley, Bethel, and St. Patrick, KY at Buttermilk Falls Golf Course in Georgetown on Aug. 19.

McElroy was the medalist for the match, shooting for a score of 36 on the par 35 course. As for team scores, it was the Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Blue Jays winning the Aug. 19 match with a team score of CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Broncos host Football Extravaganza

CMYK

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press With the 2014 season just around the corner, the football hype has hit Western Brown. Crowds of football fans ventured to Western Brown High School's Kibler Stadium/LaRosa's Field on the evening of Aug. 15 to catch a glimpse of this year's Broncos as they faced Anderson in a preseason scrimmage.

No score was kept during the scrimmage, but both teams would put on quite a show for those in attendance with dazzling plays on offense.

With the varsity quarterback position still up in the air, there were three Broncos to see time at QB in the Aug. 15 varsity scrimmage.

Starting off at QB for the Broncos was junior Chaiten Tomlin. Tomlin is new to the Western Brown varsity football squad this season after recently moving from Kentucky into the Western Brown School District. Al-

though he's knew to the program, Tomlin appeared to fit in well with this year's Bronco varsity team, throwing for a 50-yard touchdown and then running in

another touchdown while facing Anderson in the preseason scrimmage.

Also seeing time at QB for the Broncos was sophomore Eli Crall and freshman Seth Becker.

The Broncos also had a CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

High school boys begin their trek along the 5K course during this year’s Felicity-Franklin Early Bird Run held Aug. 20.

XC teams compete in Early Bird Run Pride races way to first place finish

BY Wade Linville The Brown County Press Cross Country season is officially underway for local high school teams. On Aug. 20, cross country teams of schools in Brown County took part in Felicity-Franklin's Early Bird Run, and it was Western Brown's Rick Pride leading the way in boys' action to place first of 91 runners with a time of 17:57. Pride led the Western Brown Broncos to a runner-up finish of nine full teams.

The Georgetown G-Men, who were absent two runners (senior Jake Cropper

and sophomore Christian Linville) lacked enough runners to account for a full team in the high school boys' race, but they did have some individuals perform exceptionally well for their first race of the season.

Georgetown senior Jordan Kattine finished runnerup overall with a time of 18:29, while Georgetown senior Matthew Williams finished ninth overall with a time of 19:11. Georgetown sophomores Tanner Householder and Chris Dietrick ran for 23rd and 25th place finishes.

The Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Blue

Jays finished seventh overall, led to the finish line by sophomore Josh Deaton, who finished 13th with a time of 19:48.

The Eastern Brown Warriors placed fifth of nine teams, led to the finish line by junior Dakota Williams, who placed seventh with a time of 19:07.

Winning the boys' race was the team from New Richmond High School.

In high school girls action, Eastern senior Alyssa Taylor led all 50 runners to the finish line to win the race with a time of 21:39.

Eastern's Rebecca Ellis also performed well, finishing fourth with a time of 23:10.

Eastern lacked enough

runners to account for a whole team.

The Georgetown Lady GMen placed third of five teams, led to the finish line by junior Kelsey Crawford, who placed 10th with a time of 23:59. Not far behind Crawford was Georgetown's Megan Williams, who placed 11th with a time of 24:09.

The Western Brown Lady Broncos finished in fourth place, led to the finish line

by Becky Appelmann, who placed 13th with a time of 24:42. Western Brown's Tori Patten finished in 14th place with a time of 25:18.

Winning the meet in high school girls' competition was the team from BethelTate.

177. Bethel finished in second with a team score of 180, and Georgetown finished in third place with a team score of 189. St. Patrick placed fourth with a score of 211.

The Ripley Blue Jays, headed by long-time golf coach Michael Scanlan, are excited about the upcoming season with some skilled golfers on the return.

Among those skilled golfers is their lead man and Southern Hills Athletic Conference all-star, sophomore Dylan Phillips. Phillips led the Jays in the Aug. 19 match at Buttermilk with an individual score of 42.

This year's Jays are packed with overall experience with four seniors on the return – Jon Dunn, Christian Wallace, Ryan Poole and Daniel Campbell.

Rounding out the Ripley roster is freshman Brian Dunn, as he makes his varsity golf debut this season.

Back for another season of golf are the Western Brown Broncos, who are gunning to make their way back into the top spot in the SBAAC American Division after a third place finish in the league last season.

Members of the this year's Western Brown varsity golf team include senior Tim Lanhan; juniors Brandon Butler (captain), Devin Moriarty, Norm Poklar, Abby Boggs, and

Meranda Wallace; and freshmen Caleb Cox, Blake Luck, Evan Wells, Will Stratton and Kyle Boggs.

Heading the Broncos once again is golf coach Dave Bickett. The Western Brown varsity team has one to two years experience from the number one player to the number six player.

The five freshmen will get playing time through junior varsity matches.

Butler marks the only SBAAC American Division all-star on the return for the Broncos from last season, as he earned SBAAC Second Team honors in 2013.

The team has started slowly, but has battled back to have a 13-13 record. At the Bethel Tiger Invite held at Friendly Meadows early this season, they went 1-3.

At The Clermont County Tournament held at Stillmeadows Country Club, the Broncos went 2-5, and at the Clermont Northeastern Rocket Shootout held at Cedar Trace, the Broncos went 9-5. The Broncos showed significant improvement as they recently defeated Norwood 199-201 at White Oak Golf Course. Bickett looks for more improvement out of his Broncos as the 2014 season rolls along.

“We are not shooting the numbers we need to be competitive in the SBC but the kids are working hard to get there,” said Bickett.

of luck and some timely help on defense in the opening half allowed the score to stand throughout the remainder of the game.

The Ball Hogs had one scoring opportunity denied when the shooter would be stripped by the help defense in the box and a second chance would ring off the crossbar and into the arms of the keeper.

This was a nice way to begin the fall campaign for the Eagles, but there is still work to be done before league play begins.

The Eagles will kick off their league schedule in September, and will see additional tournament action throughout the region this season.

Playing in the Dog Days soccer tournament for the last time as a team, the Beechmont Soccer Club Eagles came home as champions in the girls under 14 age group. The next time this tournament is played the Eagles will be preparing for their freshman season on their respective high school teams.

Led by a potent scoring attack and a very stingy defense, the girls finished the weekend undefeated going 4-0, outscoring the opposition 19-1 overall. Kicking off the tournament on Friday evening against a team from tournament host club CSA, the lady Eagles came

away with a 5-0 win to begin the weekend.

They returned to action on Saturday afternoon, and after allowing the only goal of the weekend against, scored four unanswered goals to take a 4-1 win over a TFA team from southeast Indiana.

The evening game versus NKSA saw the girls take an 8-0 win to advance to Sundays final game against the also unbeaten Eastside Ball Hogs. In the opening half of the final match, the girls found themselves up a goal early after a very nice counter attack and some unselfish passing. An additional goal would also be scored before the half to give the lady Eagles a slim 2-0 lead at the break. A bit

In the eighth annual Victor “Ike” Moler Memorial, presented by Mt. Orab Ford Aug. 15, there were 36 Mt. Orab Ford Late Models on hand trying to gain their way into the most prestigious race at the fastest quarter-mile dirt oval in the Midwest. The event is held in honor of the late Victor “Ike” Moler, “The Man with the Dream,” who along with his wife, Rosemont Moler, owned Mt. Orab Speedway back in the 1950’s and were the inspiration for four generations of Molers being involved in everything from racing to owning race teams to now operating one of the most popular dirt tracks in Southern Ohio.

In the Slicker Graphics qualifications it was Chad Smith of Centerville, Ohio claiming the overall fast time(12.635) and bonus money courtesy of Slicker Graphics, Truitt Auto Body in Seaman, and Biogene Seeds of Sardinia. In the Diamond Cut Lawn Care Dash for the fastest cars of each qualifying group it was Walton, KY driver Jesse Lay taking the win and earning the pole position in the feature. Devin Moran of Dresden placing second with Edinburgh, Indiana's Chad Stapleton and Chad Smith completing the running order.

In heat race action it was Wyanet, Illinois driver (2013 Ike Moler winner) Jason Jaggers taking the checkers in heat one, while Batavia’s Tim Carpenter was victorious in heat two.

In heat three it was Forest,Va driver Walker Arthur claiming the win in Mike Unger's machine while Wheelersburg's Rod Conley claimed the win in heat four.

In the first of two B-main events, it was Roger Ruark taking the over Chris Shannon, while in B-main two, it was Middletown,Ohio's John Whitney Jr taking the win over Jeff Arnold, Jr. of Manchester .

In the 50 lap A-main event, it was Jesse Lay jumping to the top spot and leading the first four laps,

but Moran would take over the top spot on lap five and begin to pull away.

At the green it was Moran once again pulling away out front with Lay, Jaggers, and Smith battling hard behind him.

Lap 14 would see hard charging Duane Chamberlain spun around on the front stretch and Rod Conley going pit side to change a tire.

Lap 26 would bring an end to Robbie Hensley's night as an accident in turn four would force the Snappy Tomato sponsored driver into the wall in turn four.

On the restart, it was still Moran out front but Smith and Lay would trade second spot until a lap 40 caution for the stopped vehicle of Arthur would slow things once again. On the restart, it was Moran out front but it was Scott James finding a groove on the highside and quickly working his way from fourth to second once the green was waved.

Moran was continuing to work the bottom of the race track and upon catching lap traffic it was James taking the lead with two laps to go.

As they entered turn three for the final time, it was Moran pulling a clean slide job on James to retake the lead. The two would make contact and Moran would turn sideways and cross the finish line just a foot or so ahead of James to take the win, the $3000 payout, and the prestigious title of being the eighth winner of the Victor “Ike” Moler Memorial. James came home second with Steve Casebolt, Chad Smith, and Jason Jaggers completing the top 5 positions.

The UMP Modifieds would not be outdone as 25 cars were on hand and it was Columbus,Indiana's Devin Gilpin, Flemingsburg,Ky's Jimmy Lennex Jr, and Aurora,Indiana's Matt Hamilton claiming heat race wins while Dave McWilliams would claim the B-main event.

In the feature it was a rough start and three complete restarts needed before a lap would be completed with Lennex out front

briefly before Hamilton would take over the top spot with Gilpin in pursuit.

Gilpin would diamond the corners in turn one and get a run on Hamilton, but couldn't make the pass. Following a lap 16 caution for Adam Stricker spinning in turn four, it was a four lap shootout. Hamilton would get a good jump but as they took the white flag he would jump the cushion in turn two and open the door for Gilpin but as they entered turn three, Hamilton would close that door and take his fourth consecutive win at MRP in his Lightning chassis, Varsitee Screen Printing, Sign-A-Rama, OTS sponsored machine. Gilpin would come home second with Josh Rice charging from 15th to 3rd while Lennex and Jim Szekacs would complete the top five spots.

In the final race of the night, things were no different as it would be a final lap finish to make things exciting for the fans in the DRC.net Crazy Compacts.

The feature would start with a lap one three wide race for the lead as T.J. Dalton,Bubba Gibson, Tony Reed would battle it out but a caution would ruin the parade with Dalton the leader.

On the restart, it was Dalton out front with Gibson right on his bumper the entire way. With a caution on lap 14 for the stopped car of Bethany Moler, there would be a one-lap shootout to determine the winner.

At the green, Gibson would take advantage of a good start to take the inside spot going into turn one. As Gibson and Dalton would bang off of each other down the backstretch, it was 11th starting Justin Dalton who would take advantage and squeeze by on the inside to make it three wide off the last turn coming for the checkers. Justin Dalton would take his Bob's Used Auto, Cash For Junk Cars & Trucks, TJ's mobile computing sponsored machine to victory lane while Gibson would come home second with Jason Borgenmenke, Stephanie Butler and Clyde Pack completing the top five spots.

When not at QB, Crall hauled in some fine catches as a 6'2” wide receiver.

The preseason scrimmage that was open to the public gave Western Brown head coach Evan Dreyer and his staff the opportunity to see where improvements need to be made before the official season kicks off on Aug. 29. According to Dreyer, intensity was one major concern.

“We have a lot of things to work on, that's the exciting part,” said Dreyer. “Did

we play the game the right way? Yes. Did we play the game enthusiastically? Not as high as high as I wanted to. Like I told the kids after the game, it's a journey and we're going to start this journey off the right way. I thought they played really well, and we are just going to have to keep improving.

We have to play the game with an extreme amount of passion, we have to know our assignments, and we have to know our alignment. Anderson has a very good program. They are fundamentally sound and disciplined, and I felt like it was a good scrimmage for us.”

weather so far. Clermont was hot Monday and Tuesday. Then they had rain on Wednesday. Cooling off Thursday; it really was great weather for us and a large turnout of people.

Hope the trend for good weather lasts through the last week of September and the Little State Fair. We visited with Tom and Lori Cornwell and met some of the directors. Tom and I talked to Brent Bair who sells french fries and lemonade at fairs including ours.

He told stories about past fairs and experiences he has had through the years.

The Antique Machinery Show was our next stop.

Went on Thursday and enjoyed a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich from the Knights of Columbus in Fayetteville. Our friend and fellow director Mitch Erwin and his friends really get you looking forward to the Brown Co. Fair, food wise.

Harold and Betty Manning were there with their homemade ice cream and there was fresh corn on the cob too. They had a bigger flea market and the parade and all the old ways of making things instead of buying

when our children were born. Matt and his wife are expecting their baby the first of September. We hope their son can see his first Brown Co. Fair September 22 through the 27.

Congratulations to the Adams Co. Agricultural Society. All their hard work really showed in the improvements and appearances of the fairgrounds.

You could feel a new pride and excitement with a job well done. Got to meet Barb and Steve Rader at the fair; they have the concession tent at the Brown Co. Fair with the cooked pig out front. They have a busy schedule this summer but look forward to being at the 163rd Brown Co. Fair. After packing up Saturday night, they were heading for the Clermont Co. Fair starting Sunday.

them.

Events coming up include the Bluegrass Festival; Highland Co. Fair; the Winchester Caramel Festival; the Seaman Fall Festival and starting September 22 the Brown Co. Fair.

A question that I'm asked a lot. Is the Brown Co. Fair the last county fair of the year? No, there are 4 more fairs after ours and Fairfield Co. Fair is the last.

We wished a happy birthday to Becky Cropper in late July. Becky has been a caring, guiding, helpful, and special person for Brown Co. Extension since 1978.

30 years she took on 4-H here in Brown Co. My memory of Becky is talking Clyde Taylor, Tom Wendel, Roger Barricklow, and myself into a adult style review.

It was never done again and if you see the picture she has, you'll know why.

There are 840 young adults in 35 4-H clubs in Brown Co Extension this year. 1 out of 6 Brown Co. youth have been involved in a 4-H program. There are 3 and 4 generations of families here who have proudly been part of Extension.

Over 200 volunteers give their time, money, and experience back to Brown Co. Local businesses; our two newspapers; the radio stations; and civic groups give services, time, money, and support to Brown Co. Extension each year. Why? Extension costs only a few cents each day to keep a young person in a 4-H program. They learn hand-on experiences and acquire essential life skills and values.

In contrast, it costs $100.00 a day to keep a youth in a regional juvenile facility.

Help the kids of Brown Co. get into a Extension program instead of juvenile court.

We also have the new Brown Co. Fair book to distribute all over the county.

Mentions of the fair book go back to the early 1900's and have been a collector item for years. This is also a way for you to get your applications for camper spots, talent show entry, and all the new things that you'll see at the Little State Fair.

Page 46 of the fair book has a new entry in the Floral Hall. Fall and winter in Ohio can be cold and rainy.

Perfect time for your favorite bowl of Chili. Saturday the 27th bring your favorite home-made chili and compete for prizes of $70; $50; and $20. Please read all the rules for entries at the Floral Hall and with over 5000 entries please be patient and have your entries in early.

Classic Federal Credit Union is sponsoring a contest to show our appreciation for all the fire-fighters, EMT's, and police officers in Brown Co. They will have a booth at the fair.

There you can vote for the person or persons that you feel deserve recognition.

Saturday in the Center Ring somewhere around 5 or 6 o'clock they will recognize the winners. We are going to provide a link on our Website to give more information about this contest.

For now you can look up www.classicfcu.org and find their link for this contest.

All of the Brown Co. Agricultural Society are very proud of the fairgrounds appearance the week of the fair and all year long. Nancy Connor has worked all year keeping it showroom perfect. This said we have a request that you do not tape blankets, flags, or towels on the bleachers. This is the Tractor Pull area; the Grandstand area, Floral Hall; or seats in the Danny Gray Activity center. This is everyone's fair to enjoy and please help us keep it neat and clean at the Little State Fair.

If you have any questions about the fair, look on our website at www.littlestatefair.com. Like us on Facebook at littlestatefair.

Our E-Mail address is: brcofair@hotmail.com. Telephone number: 937-378-3558 and fax number is: 937-378-1361. The 163nd Brown Co. Fair will be held on September 22rd through the 27th. Your memories start when we see you at the fair.

Wilmington is a mixture of old town charm, a college town, and new shopping section East of town. I had a little difficulty finding the fairgrounds and Lottie was quick to let me know I was going the wrong way on a one-way street. We were visiting the Clinton Co. Fair and our adopted daughter (she doesn't know) Greta Gray. Greta is a new fair board director in Clinton County. They had beautiful weather and seemed to have good attendance the day we were there. Greta and Mike her husband took us on a tour of the fairgrounds and we met some of the people who work at the fair. David Drake has the soft ice cream concession there and at the Brown Co. Fair. Lottie enjoyed a delicious hot fudge sundae from his booth.

We waited till Saturday to visit the Adams Co. Fair in West Union, Ohio. They had the best weather through the week till Friday afternoon and evening. Saw Matt Hilldebrand, C103 radio personality, he and I discussed his upcoming fatherhood. A lot of differences between now and
