Abandoned dogs rescued from deplorable conditionsBY Martha JacobThe Brown County Press
A report of animal crueltyhas led to the discovery ofdozens of malnourisheddogs...and of the bodies ofdozens more being stored inan old freezer.The house did not have
electricity and the freezer wasnot working.At least 39 dogs were taken
from a home on Tri-CountyHighway between Sardiniaand Mt. Orab, Oct. 11, andtheir owner is facing animalcruelty and neglect charges.Teri Lea Hamilton of
Sardinia faces four criminalcomplaints, filed by theBrown County HumaneSociety including:
* Prohibition againstfailure to register dog or dogkennel which carries up to a$100 fine
* Cruelty to companionanimal (failure to obtain vet-erinarian care) a first degreemisdemeanor which carriesup to six months and/or$1,000 fine
* Tags to be worn, aminor misdemeanor whichcaries up to a $150 fine
* Cruelty to companionanimal (insufficient quantitiesof good wholesome food andwater and living in poor con-ditions) a second degree mis-demeanor which carries 90days and/or a $750 fine A multitude of neighbors
complained that the dogs hadbeen abandoned, leading theBrown County HumaneSociety to obtain a searchwarrant on Friday, Oct. 9.With coordinated efforts of
Adams County Dog Warden,Paul Hughes, members ofC.A.R.T. (Tri-state, CountyAnimal Response Team), theBrown County HumaneSociety in Georgetown, andthe Brown County Sheriff'sDepartment, all the dogs weretaken directly to a veterinari-an for check-up of their con-dition then on to a temporaryfacility.Hamilton was not at home

The Brown County HealthDepartment has been quietlygiving flu shots inGeorgetown for about amonth now.The H1NI scare and
accompanying media frenzyof last year are gone, butthey’re still keeping prettybusy, giving flu shots to walk-ins every Tuesday.“We were busier last week
and a little slow so far thisweek”, said Public HealthNurse Kathy Wright.“We’ve done about 1200
vaccinations since we startedon Sept. 16.”Susan Wall of Georgetown
was one of the walk-inpatients that day.“I wanted to get my flu shot
because I work with the pub-lic and I don’t want to spreadit around”, she said.In another change from last
year, this years flu shot actual-ly fights three different virus-es, including H1N1.Flu shots cost twenty dol-
lars this year at the healthdepartment, and pneumonia
shots are available for sixtydollars.Wright said the vaccina-
tions are free of charge toMedicare and Medicaidpatients.The walk-in hours for flu
shots at the Brown CountyHealth Department are 8 a.m.to noon and 1p.m. to 4 p.m. onTuesdays.The health department is
located at 825 Mt. Orab Pikein Georgetown and the tele-phone number is (937) 378-6892.

Commissioners set 2011 county budget appropriationsBYWayne GatesThe Brown County Press
The Brown CountyCommissioners have a tempo-rary budget for 2011.It looks a lot like the budget
for 2010.The grand total of the coun-
ty general fund in the tempo-rary 2011 budget is $8,048,166dollars compared to$7,997,891 in the 2010 budget.Appropriations levels were
generally held at 2010 levelsfor all county departments,with the only cut being madeto the Miscellaneous fundfrom $119,000 in 2010 to$100,000 in 2011.Slight increases were also
appropriated in the GeneralFund for the CountyCommissioners fund, theCounty Recorder and theBoard of Elections.The County Commissioner
fund increased from $802,068in 2010 to $813, 568 in 2011.The Board of Elections is
getting $275,021 dollars in the2011 budget as opposed to$234,581 in 2010.That extra $41,000 is to
defray the additional costs ofthe upcoming Nov. 2 election.All other appropriations
were flat or received additionsof less than five percent.County Commission
President Margary Paeltz saidall appropriations are tempo-rary until the final budget isapproved in April of 2011.The other major differences
in the 2011 temporary budgetfrom 2010 were an increase inthe County CapitalImprovement Fund and theaddition of a BudgetStabilization Fund.The capital improvement
fund rose from $150,000 to$392,000 and the Budget
Stabilization Fund is $400,000dollars.“That money is what is
going to help see us through toMarch”, said Paeltz.March is when the first
property tax payments for2011 are received by the coun-ty from the February pay-ments.The county is expected to
gain an additional $500,000 orso per year due to the 1/4 centincrease in the county sales taxthat went into effect October 1.Payments are disbursed by
the state monthly and thecounty is expecting a paymentof approximately $50,000 inDecember.Paeltz said that payment and
the rest of the additionalmoney is expected to go intothe Budget Stabilization Fund.The county Reserve

Absentee voting going smoothlyBYWayne GatesThe Brown County Press
While Election Day 2010 isstill over two weeks away, vot-ing is well underway in BrownCounty.Brown County Board of
Elections Director KathyJones said over 1200 absenteeballots have already beenrequested from her office sinceearly voting began in Ohio onSept. 28.Jones said Brown County
has approximately 29,000 reg-istered voters.Two of those ballots belong
to Kenneth and GeraldineLewis of Bethel.Kenneth Lewis said he
wanted to vote early because“I’ve got a lot of work to doand I don’t know if I’ll beavailable” on Election Day.Jones said interest in absen-
tee voting is higher than shehas seen in the past.She said one reason for that
could be the efforts of bothmajor political parties.
“Both parties as well asother third party groups aregearing up and sending appli-cations for voters to fill outand turn in”, Lewis said.She added that she wel-
comes early absentee voters.“We’re encouraging people
to vote absentee. It shortensthe lines on Election Day and

Local girls raise $500 for children battling cancer
BY Martha JacobThe Brown County Press
Two FayettevilleElementary School studentshave spent the last sevenmonths raising money forchildren suffering from cancerreceiving treatment atCincinnati ChildrensHospital. Abby Fogle (9) andShelby Gregory (10) workeddiligently asking friends andfamily members for dona-tions, held a yard sale andsaved their allowances, man-aged to raise $500 which wasused to purchase toys, gamesand crafts that were donatedto Children's Hospital CancerUnit.
Abby is the daughter ofAmy and Steve Fogle andShelby is the daughter ofStephanie and Paul Gregory,all of Fayetteville.
"Several years ago Inoticed that my daughter,Abby, had this absolute pas-sion to help people," saidAmy Fogle. "She seemed to
understand what those chil-dren with cancer have to gothrough. She said 'Mom, we'rekids and they're kids, so wewant to help them.'
Amy said that once herdaughter began saving for thecause, her good friend Shelbyjoined in and began helpingwith the efforts. The two girlshope to involve their GirlScout Troop in the efforts andmake it an annual event.
"Abby has been totallyfocused on this project and islooking forward to doing it allover again," her mom added.
"She's already come up withsome new ideas of raisingmoney like making book-marks and other items that canbe sold. She now has a picklejar divided into three sectionswhere she is saving money forbreast cancer awareness, theRonald McDonald House aswell as the cancer unit atChildren's Hospital."
The girls received a spe-cial 'Wish List' fromChildren's Hospital whichallowed the girls to purchaseuseful, needed items. Theyalso had the opportunity to
meet a representative from thehospital when they deliveredthe items and learned moreabout all the other programsand benefits at Children'sHospital.

What Do You Think?Animal abuse and neglect is a misdemeanorin Ohio. Do you think it should be a felony?
In extreme case of animalabuse, it should be a felony,because those animals can'tdefend for themselves, that'sour responsibility.
Thomas W. SpurlockSardinia
Well, I don't believe instarving or abusing an animal.The abusers should be prose-cuted in some way, but I'm notsure it should be a felony.

Letters to the Editor
When honoring a hero,get the name right
I owe Gene Rau an apology.Mr. Rau is the man featured
in the front page photo of lastweeks Press.The information I received
about him identified him asGene Round.So to Mr. Rau and his fami-
ly, my heartfelt apologies forthe error.My one regret from the
Brown County Fair is that Iwas unable to attend theVeterans Ceremony onThursday when that picturewas taken.Thursday is the day we put
the weekend paper together soI had to deal with that...andthen rush down to Georgetownfor the first round of the talentshow.As I was walking past the
ring where the ceremony wasgoing on, I heard someone(Danny Bubp, perhaps?) say“...this young man just returnedfrom Afghanistan”.Then I heard the crowd
cheering him.Those are the sort of
moments that make us what weare here in Brown County.We are proud of our militarymembers, past and present, andwe aren’t afraid to show it. I’vespoken with a member of Mr.Rau’s family over the past cou-ple of days regarding the nameerror and have discovered afew more things about him.For example, he had to be
evacuated off a ship that hit amine off Normandy beachbefore he could get on shoreand roll with his fellow soldiersacross Germany to shut Hitlerand the Nazis down.He was a medic in the 101st
Airborne...one of those menwho would race into battle
with morphine and bandagesand try to save lives while bul-lets flew around them.It almost sounds like a
movie...and for many of us,movies are all we have to helpus experience even a small partof what Gene Rau and men likehim experienced over sixtyyears ago.But he lived it.Rau wasn’t the only combat
veteran at the fair, of course.They all deserve a salute andrespect, no matter their age orexperiences.Anyone who has spent time
in the military has sacrificedpart of themselves, even if it’sjust their time, for the greatergood of our society.Many have paid a much
higher price than that.People like 95 year old Carl
Couch, who is seen waving tothe crowd on page 2 of lastweeks Press.I printed what I knew about
Mr. Couch, which wasn’tmuch, but the words I didknow spoke volumes.Underneath his picture, thecaption reads in part “Mr.Couch is a former Prisoner ofWar.”God only knows what expe-
riences lie behind those simplewords.So to Mr. Rau, Mr. Couch,
and all the other veterans andcurrent service members fromBrown County, I thank you andsalute you once again.
Yes it should be felonybecause animals are livingbeings and they should betreated properly.
Kathy WernerGeorgetown
I do think it should be afelony because an animal iscompletely defenseless, it'snot like they can defend them-selves against humans, and theperson shouldn't just get a slapon the wrist.

Compliments for the kids best when coming from othersEvery day I think to myself
what wonderful little boys Ihave. They are for the mostpart kind, polite, even tem-pered, and good natured chil-dren. I am proud of them(obviously), but it’s a wholedifferent level of pride whensomeone else complimentsyour children. Last week, Ireceived two.The first one came from a
parent of a second grade boythat I know. He said his sonhad earned extra recess timeand it was with the 4thgraders, and some of the 4thgraders were picking on himand calling him names.Apparently, my oldest sonwho is a 4th grader and toldthem to knock it off and theydid. This parent thanked me
and asked me to pass the mes-sage on to my son and let himknow that was really cool.So when I got home I told
Vincent just that and insteadof being proud or boastful, helooked me in the eye and saidwhat every parent wants tohear…”I just did what wasright.” He would not have toldme this story on his own,because he didn’t feel like itwas a big deal, but it was tome. It affirms that they arebeing raised well, and some-
times it’s nice to hear thatfrom someone else.Drew also received a big
compliment last week. A par-ent that volunteers at theschool said that when theyasked him about his timelinepictures, his favorite one totalk about was the picture ofhim and his buddy Alex. Alexhad brain surgery earlier thisyear and the picture is fromDrew visiting him at the hos-pital. The parent informed methat Drew thought Alex wasreally cool and really brave tostay in the hospital like thatand that he told her Alex wasstill going to the hospital andhe was kicking cancer’s butt.They said they had never seena boy be so unafraid to talkabout the hospital and posi-
tive that his friend was goingto be just fine.I teared up hearing this one.
I know that Alex is one ofDrew’s best friends so the factthat he’s proud of him, andthat he wanted to share thisinformation doesn’t surpriseme at all. It was the fact thattalking about cancer and hos-pitals doesn’t bother him,because he’s been informed ofthe facts and we know Alexwill be fine. He’s also beingraised with positive outlookon life which he shares withthe world.So the next time you see a
child making the right choice,doing something sweet, etc…let their parent know, becauseI assure you, it’s a wonderfulthing to hear.

Reader takes issue with Georgetown Police DepartmentDear Editor,After reading the letter writ-
ten to you by Brian Gibson inthe Sunday paper, I felt com-pelled to tell about my ownencounter with theGeorgetown PoliceDepartment. On August 9th
Officer Robert Gifford wascalled to our residence regard-ing a dispute with a neighbor.Upon arriving, Officer Giffordalready had a bad attitudetowards me. As I was explain-ing the situation to him in acalm manner, the Officer was
extremely rude, and used veryfoul language at me. I am nota criminal, and I do not have acriminal record. Before Imoved to Georgetown, Ibelieved that policemen werethe ones to count on when youneeded them. I went to Chief Buddy
Coburn and told him about myencounter with the officer. Headvised me to write a report ofwhat happened and any wit-ness reports (which I had twowitnesses) and return them tohim and he would review themand make a decision. The nextweek I contacted the Chief tofind out what he had decided.He told me that he had spokento the Officer, and even thoughthe Officer acted unprofes-sionally that NO disciplinaryaction would be taken. After
speaking with the Chief I feltviolated a second time. Whatdo you do when the peoplewho are hired to protect you,are the ones who are the bul-lies? I have to talked to quite a
few people who have had sim-ilar incidents with theGeorgetown PoliceDepartment. If no one speaksup, nothing will ever be doneabout this unprofessionalbehavior.In closing, Mr. Gibson, I
DO feel the same as you, and Iwill NOT have anything to dowith the Georgetown PoliceDepartment again, and I doNOT want them on our prop-erty again without a warrant.

Who or what will control your “X” on November 2?Dear Editor,In the first century Jesus
butted heads with big govern-ment (Rome), strict religion-ists (Pharisees), and activistjudges (the Sanhedrin). WhenHe was sentenced to death bycrucifixion these groups gaveeach other high fives. But howshort-lived was their celebra-tion. For in three days theSovereign One emasculatedthe trinity of evil—sin, death,and hell—as He burst forthfrom the grave. Through unimaginable tor-
ture from unprincipled deci-sions that preceded crucifix-ion, the Lamb of God neverlost his perspective, integrity,or desire to grant mercy tofriend and foe alike.Throughout the Lamb’s min-istry His eyes were alwaysfocused heavenward. That’swhere He came from; that’swhere He would return. He
knew God was the ultimatesource of victory. He was God. Likewise, for 21st century
Christians, faith should focuson pursuing Christ-like stead-fastness and truths that tran-scend secular ideologies andcultural boxes. No social causeor political party should own aChristian’s allegiance. Weare—first, foremost, and for-ever—servant’s of God. Thus,as citizens of His kingdom wemust resist adopting the libelof the world’s labels—left,right, or center. Honestly, do you believe
every elephant is perfect?Nada! Are all donkeys fault-less? Certainly not! Is everytea cup flawless? I have yet tomeet one! Then why shouldanyone feel obligated to vote astraight party ticket?Comparatively (really there isno comparison), the Lamb ofGod has zero faults so why not
mark your “X” in harmonywith His revealed portrait of ajust leader? On this point, Noah Webster,
the “Father of AmericanEducation,” a strong Christianleader known for his diction-ary still used today, wrote in1832: “When you (emphasis
added) become entitled toexercise the right of voting forpublic officers, let it beimpressed on your mind thatGod commands you to chooserulers—just men who will rulein the fear of God. “[But] if the citizens neglect
their duty and place unprinci-pled men in office, the govern-ment will soon be corrupt-ed…Corrupt or incompetentmen will be appointed to exe-cute the laws; the public rev-enues will besquandered…and the rights ofthe citizens will be violated or
disregarded. “[Thus,] if a republican gov-
ernment fails to secure publicprosperity and happiness, itmust be because the citizensneglect the divine commands,and elect bad men to make andadminister the laws” (Historyof the United States, 1832, pp.307-308).John Wimber, founder of the
Vineyard church movement,once said that when peoplehave a genuine and maturerelationship with Jesus theywill always vote the rightthings (“right” as biblicallyoriented). Now is our opportu-nity, through prayer and deter-mined action, to elect princi-pled men and women who willmake and justly administer ourlaws. By God’s grace, we mustnot fail!

Letters to the Editor
Teen car crashes: are they really “accidents”?According to traffic safety
experts, car crashes cause moreteen deaths each year thandrugs, violence or suicide. Infact, motor vehicle crashes areTHE leading cause of deathamong teens aged 16 to 18.The death rate for drivers age 16to 19 years, based on miles driv-en, is four times that of driversage 25 to 69 years.
Traffic safety and injury pre-vention experts no longer callmotor vehicle crashes “acci-dents”. Why? Because a carcrash, especially one involvinga teen driver and/or teen passen-gers, has a cause or a set ofcauses. For example, a causecould be something like a dis-tracting passenger, cell phoneuse (either texting OR calling),driving under the influence ofalcohol or other drugs, drowsydriving, speeding, or drivinginexperience. But the goodnews is that by understandingthat crashes have causes, we canactually do something to helpprevent teen crashes.
Traffic safety research pointsto in- and out-of-the car distrac-tions as the #1 cause of fatalteen crashes, with one of themajor distractions being teenpassengers. Did you know thathaving a single teen passengerin the vehicle doubles a teen dri-ver’s fatal crash risk? Withthree or more teen passengers,the fatal crash risk is multipliedtimes FOUR for the teen driver.This is why Ohio now has grad-uated driver licensing (GDL) ineffect. This system is designedto make the learning processsafer for new teen drivers bymanaging these risks as newdrivers learn. This is alsowhy ---16 year-old drivers arerestricted from driving betweenmidnight and 6 AM, and why
they cannot have more than onepassenger who is not a familymember in the vehicle.(Seventeen year-olds arerestricted from driving between1 AM and 5 AM and they canonly have as many passengersas seat belts in the vehicle.) In astudy conducted by theChildren’s Hospital ofPhiladelphia (CHOP) and StateFarm Insurance, frequently-observed distractions involvingteen drivers or passengersincluded loud music, passen-gers dancing or singing, passen-gers acting wild, passengersurging the driver to speed,heightened emotions, and cellphones.
One approach to preventingteen crashes is the “Ride Like AFriend” Campaign whichcomes from State Farm and theCHOP Center for InjuryPrevention. During the upcom-ing National Teen Driver SafetyWeek (October 17th to 23rd),Brown County SafeCommunities wants our localteens and their parents to knowmore about “Ride Like AFriend”. The goal of this cam-paign is to prevent
fatal crashes with teens byencouraging safe teen passengerbehaviors, and it providesexcellent materials for doing so.You see, one of the reasons whywe need to promote this cam-paign is that although teen pas-sengers are such a driving haz-ard for teen drivers, only 10% of
teens view peer passengers as amajor factor in driving safety.
The website www.ride-likeafriend.com has tip sheetsfor parents, materials for teens,and campaign materials whichcan be used by high schoolorganizations to promote safeteen driving. The Ride Like AFriend Program was developedafter hundreds of teens wereinterviewed to get their percep-tions of unsafe passenger anddriver behaviors and their ideasfor solving this problem. Theprogram has been shown to beeffective because it takes a pos-itive approach to the teen driv-ing issue. This is important, asresearch shows that using scaretactics leads to fear and short-term behavior change—butpositive messages lead to long-term behavior change.
The teens who were inter-viewed said that they wouldn’tconsider completely eliminatingteen passengers from their vehi-cles for the first 6 months or1,000 miles after receiving theirdriver’s licenses. However,they would use these safe driv-ing behaviors: wearing seatbelts; establishing safe driver-passenger interaction; cuttingdown on driver distractions;asking for help as a driver; andturning down the radio volume.
The Ride Like A FriendProgram has basic messages forteen drivers and teen passengerswhich go along with the inter-viewed teens’ ideas. For theteen driver, the basic messagesare: Set your rules, buckle up,ask for help, and expect respectfrom your passengers--ifthey’re your friends, theyshould help you to be a saferdriver. The basic messages forthe teen passenger are: Buckleup, be there to give help to the
driver (give directions, answercell phone calls, etc.), and showrespect to the driver—if you’rethe driver’s friend, you shouldcare!
One of the most helpfulthings your teen can do in thiswebsite is to set up his or herown list of rules for passengerswhich can be displayed in themotor vehicle. Have a discus-sion with your teen about beinga good friend by being a betterpassenger--what better time todo it than during National TeenDriver Safety Week?

BASTA
Dear Editor,I was approached by an indi-
vidual not long ago and told thatI’m too judgmental of those inthe clergy and of organized reli-gion in general. This person stat-ed that I held an extremely pes-simistic view of religious tradi-tions and that my views wereseriously hurting the reputationof the institutional church in itsvarious and sundry forms. It wasstated that my views, held forthin your publication, were fuel-ing debates among the membersof local congregations and caus-ing dissension in the ranks.
Quite frankly, I don’t seemyself as having the power tocause too much of a ruckus - I’mjust one ‘schmuck’ with an opin-ion who likes to blurt things out.But if my measly opinion cancause some conversation tooccur...well..I’m glad.
However, the observationabout me being pessimistic
regarding organized religion andmany religiousprofessionals...okay...I’ll acceptthat as valid. I’ve been in thisbusiness too long and I knowhow it works behind the scenes.Some will say that I’ve beentainted. I, on the other hand, saythat I’m just realistic.
I believe in the Christianfaith. My faith is fully in JesusChrist. I believe that trueChristianity is represented bythose who are faithful to themessage of the Bible. But I alsobelieve that the message of theBible has been obscured byorganized religion and religioustradition, often to the point ofmaking a mockery ofChristianity. Just as Jesusaccused the religious leaders inHis day of obscuring the mes-sage, I believe that the samethink is happening today - bydenominations, by so-calledreligious programming, by tele-
vangelists, by other Christianmedia outlets and publicationsand products and gimmicks andwhatever else you can think ofbeing used to sell people on reli-gion.
I talk to too many peoplelooking for the real deal, manyof which have walked awayfrom organized religious emptyand disillusioned with the ‘reli-gious package’ they were hand-ed and told that it was the realthing. When I get told by someyoung man or woman that‘church’ wounded them morethan helped them, I get a bitupset with what is passing itselfoff as ‘church’. I think that a bet-ter, more real, idea ofChristianity should be represent-ed by people of faith. TrueChristianity is about a relation-ship, not a religion.
Sure, I know some churchsnobs who think I’m a radicaland nut case. Big deal! Somesay that my views lack theolog-ical sophistication. No problem!Some say that I'm too unortho-dox. I can live with that! All I’msaying is that many of the peo-ple on the outside of the churchare looking in to try and find outif its for real or fake - and they’rehungry for the real deal! Many,if not most, are turned off byattempts to sell them on a pack-aged Christianity that is lackingin content. They want some-thing more, something with sub-stance. And, unfortunately itsjust not there for them.
If my critique of the institu-tionalized church is wrong, thenplease prove it and set mestraight. I don’t mind being cor-rected. But if my observationsare correct, then I guess I don’thave to apologize for beingright. I only have to apologizefor being a part of a religioussystem that doesn't always worklike it should.
Rev. Sam Talley
It’s not Christ, it’s Christians
Dear Editor,I am writing to ask people to
please consider voting for RobPortman for U.S. Senate. I havebeen looking for work for 9months. I recently accepted ashort-term, part-time position tohelp bring in some money formy household while I continueto search for a permanent posi-tion.
I have met Rob Portman sev-eral times and I have heard himtalk about his plans to help cre-ate jobs. He makes a lot ofsense and knows what he istalking about.
If you watched the debate,then you also realize that RobPortman is focused on creating
new jobs and getting our econo-my back on track. He is themost experienced candidate andknows how to get things donein Washington, DC. Rob willstand strong against big govern-ment and legislation that willstall the economy and job cre-ation like the cap and tradeenergy tax.
Rob Portman will focus hisenergy on getting people inOhio back to work and reducinggovernment spending. Again,please consider voting for RobPortman because he is dedicat-ed, experienced and will get thejob done for us.

In John 15:1 Jesus said: “I am thetrue vine, and my Father is thehusbandman.” The husbandman isthe person who takes care of thevineyard. He does the trimming,the pruning of the branches, andhe is responsible for making surethat it does not just grow into allbrush and no fruit. A vineyardwhich is pruned property will outproduce by far the one that is not.In verse 5 Jesus states again: “I amthe vine...” but goes on to say: “yeare the branches:...” That is youand I. We are the branches. Thefruit is produced on the brancheswhich is fed by the vine. As we allknow, a branch which is not partof the vine has no life source tothat branch. Look with me inRomans 11 where it is talking col-lectively about the Jews and theGentiles, referring to them as anolive tree. Verses 16-18: “For ifthe firstfruit be holy, the lump isalso holy: and if the root be holy,so are the branches. And if someof the branches be broken off, andthou, being a wild olive tree, wertgraffed in among them, and withthem partakest of the root and fat-ness of the olive tree; Boast notagainst the branches. But if thouboast, thou bearest not the root,but the root thee.” A branch whichhas no life source can be graftedonto a living tree and partake of it.It can then draw it’s life from thattree! The Bible tells us that wemust be born again; we mustobtain a new life source in order tolive. That is a must because inRomans 6:23 it tells us: “For thewages of sin is death; but the giftof God is eternal life through JesusChrist our Lord.” The wages of sinis death so we need a new lifesource. Jesus Christ is a new lifesource! Last Fall I cut a branch offof a tree and threw it onto a brushpile. This Spring as my wife and Iwere walking past it she noticedsomething. That branch which Ihad cut off had leaves growing onit. How could that be? Well, thatbranch still had a certain amountof sap in it which it had retained.When it had been cut off therewere still buds on it so comeSpring it brought forth leaves. Letme ask you a question. If it hadbeen a fruit tree, how much fruitwould it produce? The obviousanswer is none. It is like a cutflower in a vase. A bud can bringforth a flower but before long itbegins to wither away. So did thebranch which I had cut off lastFall. It did not have a new life
source. It lived for a short whileand died. Jesus said in John 15:5:“I am the vine, ye are the branch-es: He that abideth in me, and I inhim, the same bringeth forth muchfruit: for without me ye can donothing.” The branch cannot bearany fruit unless it is connected tothe vine! In the book of Romanswe are grafted onto the olive tree.Therefore we can grow and bearfruit because we are now connect-ed to the root. However, it is notthe root which determines thefruit; it is the branch. You can grafta red delicious apple branch onto ayellow delicious apple tree andthat branch will still produce reddelicious apples. What I am sayingis that when we are born againindividually we are grafted intothe source of life. But we are stillindividuals and will produce dif-ferently even though we are draw-ing our life from the same source.Now consider this. People, whoare not born again, are like thatbranch which I cut off last Fall.They will live for a short while butproduce no fruit. It will not belong before they wither and diebecause they do not have a newlife source. In verse 6 of John 15Jesus tells us: “If a man abide notin me, he is cast forth as a branch,and is withered; and men gatherthem, and cast them into the fire,and they are burned.” People whoare not grafted into that lifesource, which is Jesus Christ, willwither away fruitless, die, and becast into a burning Hell for alleternity. They will never againhave a chance to be grafted in. It isan individual decision whichevery one of us has to make. Wehave all sinned, but we can all besaved. Believe on the Lord Jesus,the Son of God, His death, burial,and resurrection. Repent, pray, andask God the Father for forgive-ness. Pray ending your prayer inthe name of Jesus Christ. It wasHe who died for your sin.

She maintains aweb site at www.jennifer-wenker.com and works fromher home studio which over-looks the natural landscape ofrural Ohio.“Fields of grasses are
deeply spiritual places forme,” she said. “They aremetaphors for the uniqueexpressions of the spirit:Many individuals sharing rootsystems, sharing the elements
of the soil and the water togrow; they are individualsbending together in the winds,holding fast to the earth. Theirgentle music is meditative andrenewing. I feel connectedthere and I find peace.“The focus of my new
work is on color relationshipsand patterns of light and shad-ow in the tall grass fields ofthe Appalachian foothills—my home. My goal is to paintthe emotional feeling of aplace—not to describe colorsin a photographic way.“I feel a deep peace being
surrounded by Nature and Iwant to express that ‘intangi-ble something.’ Sometimesthat feeling is an overwhelm-ing joy in seeing a field ofdeep purple ironweed or theimpossibly delicate blue colorof cornflowers growing alongrural roads. I love huge areasof color. I have been movingtoward simplifying the land-scapes into patterns of colorbecause it is the color rela-tionship that interests me.”Wenker and her husband

Yellow Ribbon program helps prevent teen suicidesQuestion: The son of a close
friend killed himself a fewmonths ago, and it’s so hard tounderstand. Is there anythingthat can be done to help preventsuicides among our high-schoolaged kids. It is so tragic. At thatage they are so young and haveso much to look forward to.Answer: This is an excel-
lent question. In fact, one of mycolleagues lost a son to suicideseveral years ago, and theyoung man’s mother hasworked tirelessly ever since toincrease suicide awareness andprevention. Her efforts havebeen focused through an excel-lent program run by the YellowRibbon International SuicidePrevention Program.Before I give you more
details about this program, hereare some basic facts. Suicide isthe third leading cause of deathfor young people ages ten totwenty-four, and the secondleading cause of death for col-lege students. It is the sixthleading cause of death in chil-dren from 6 to 9 years old. Amajor cause of suicide is a treat-able psychiatric illness. In fact,ninety percent of teens whocommit suicide have been diag-nosed with a psychiatric prob-lem. One of the most common
of these is depression. Yellow Ribbon says there are
“warning signs” that can helpyou spot depression inteenagers. They are: feelings ofsadness or hopelessness, feelingangry or moody, crying easily,chronic worrying, difficultyconcentrating, declining schoolperformance, loss of pleasure orinterest in activities that used tobe fun, sleeping too much or toolittle, and changes in weight orappetite.Yellow Ribbon -- sponsored
by the Auxiliary to theAmerican OsteopathicAssociation -- emphasizes thefact that suicide is most oftennot a wish to die, but a desire toend the pain of living. If teensask for help and have an oppor-tunity to talk about their feel-ings, it can lessen this pain.Yellow Ribbon has developedan effective method to encour-age teens to take that first stepand ask for help.Yellow Ribbon distributes
cards to teenagers that they canuse as a “lifeline” to seek adulthelp when they don’t havewords to express their feelings.One of these cards says at thetop in big letters “THIS CARDIS A CRY FOR HELP.” It tellsthe person who receives thecard to stay with the teen,because “you are their lifeline.”It asks the recipient to listen, totake the issue seriously and toget help immediately. At thebottom of the card is a help-linephone number. Even if you’re not given one
of these lifeline cards, there arestill ways you can help theteenagers you know. First,remember the warning signs ofdepression I mentioned earlier.Second, take his or her wordsand actions seriously. Don’tignore any talk of suicide, hope-lessness or despair. Ask aboutthe teen’s home life. Situationalstress such as the death of a par-ent or abuse can lead tothoughts of suicide. Seek pro-fessional help. Remember thatdepression is treatable bothwith drugs and counseling.To educate yourself about
teen suicide, log onto www.yel-lowribbon.org, visit your locallibrary, or look in the phonebook for support groups.

Abandoned dogsrescued fromdeplorable conditions
at the time of the seizureand did not return calls madeby the Press.
According to Jan Staubach,humane society volunteer,Hamilton had been visiting theresidence at least once a weekto feed and water the dogs.
"The electricity was shutoff to this house over twomonths ago," Staubach said,"The conditions inside thehouse are terrible and the heatmust have been unbearable forthose poor animals, this sum-mer. And this isn't the firsttime that dogs have been takenaway from this woman forimproper care. Several yearsago over 60 dogs had to berescued from her possession,from a different address."
Staubach also stated thaton Sept. 30, neighbors report-ed to the sheriff's departmentthat a dog had been hit by a carand was in bad shape. The dogwas picked up and taken to aveterinarian for surgery andstill faces two more surgeriesas well as the removal of oneof its eyes.
Bonnie Morrison, execu-tive director of C.A.R.T. andseveral volunteers, prepareddozens of cages and tags aseach of the dogs, all chi-huahua's with the exception ofone basset hound and two mixbreeds were removed fromthe house one by one. Most ofthe dogs were friendly andseemed happy to see humans,but several had to be handledcarefully as they were consid-ered 'biters.'
Hamilton, owner of the
dogs, has a website where shewrites that she operates a dogkennel and has a vast array ofexperience in dog raising andtraining and worked manyyears as a veterinary's assis-tant and a vet tech at two dif-ferent animal hospitals. Herwebsite states that her chi-huahua's are healthy, happyand playful. However, accord-ing to Staubach, Hamilton didnot have a kennel license.
C.A.R.T. is a non-profitorganization made up of vol-unteers, for the sole purpose ofhelping any and all animals inneed. Hughes, the AdamsCounty Dog Warden, volun-teered his time on his day offto assist with the collection ofthe animals.
"Brown County doesn'thave a dog warden right nowand I think it's important thatwe all to help each other outwhenever we can throughthese rough times," Hughessaid. "Although it was obviousthat the dogs had been receiv-ing food and water, there wasvery little sign of much water,the animals were infested infleas and living in filthy con-ditions. Some had sore eyes,ear infections and toenails interrible shape."
The dogs will remain at thetemporary facility until afterthe case goes to court.

Election Day is fastapproaching and the AreaAgency on Aging District 7(AAA7) encourages everyoneto vote on Tuesday, November2, 2010. Voting is a privilegethat everyone should exercise.One of the big news items
of 2010 has been the newhealthcare law. How this lawaffects Medicare is somethingthat is very important to olderadults. Medicare is the feder-al insurance program for thoseage 65 and older and certainyounger individuals with dis-abilities. Being educatedabout the changes with health-care reform and understandinghow the law impacts Medicareand how it will be implement-ed are important factors foreveryone. Already, a number of
changes have taken place thatare of special interest to sen-iors with a number of benefitsplanned for the future.Information regarding thesebenefits is included atwww.healthcare.gov. Of spe-cial interest are:
• A $250 rebate check waspresented this year to seniorswho have fallen in the“doughnut hole.” In 2011,when seniors fall in thedoughnut hole, they willreceive a 50 percent discounton brand-name drugs and gov-ernment subsidies for genericdrugs. By 2020, the doughnuthole will be eliminated.• Your existing guaranteed
Medicare-covered benefitswill not be reduced or takenaway. Neither will your abili-ty to choose your own doctor.• Starting in 2011, Medicare
will cover certain preventativeservices without charging thePart B co-insurance ordeductible. In addition, a freeannual wellness exam willalso be offered.• The life of the Medicare
Trust fund will be extended toat least 2029, a 12-year exten-sion as a result of reducingwaste, fraud and abuse, andslowing cost growth inMedicare, which will providefuture cost savings on yourpremiums and co-insurance. Information for seniors
specifically concerning thenew healthcare law is avail-able atwww.healthcare.gov/foryou/seniors. Information aboutMedicare or the AffordableCare Act is also available atwww.medicare.gov or byphone at 1-800-MEDICARE.The AAA7 encourages every-one to be informed and edu-cated about the issues.Conduct your own research onissues for which you havequestions or would like tolearn more about.

2010 has been an unusualyear for local farmers
2010 Has Beena Bizarre Summer
That could most definitelybe an understatement. I know,some of you are probablythinking that I am talkingabout the fact that the Redsactually made the playoffs,but that is not the only bizarrething that 2010 has broughtus. Even though the Redswere 3 and out, I don’t think itwill be bizarre for the nextfew years. Enough about theReds for now, time to talkabout the other bizarre things.The first thing would be
how early so much of thecrops in Brown County wereplanted with the warm, dryApril. Then we get the rain inMay and June that we normal-ly get in April. July was hot,but not bad as far as rain.Early planted crops benefitedfrom the rain and reports frommost farmers that I talked toduring the fair seem to be get-ting really good yields fromthe early planted fields.However, not the entire cropwas planted in April. Thecrop that did not get planted inApril was, for the most part, inJune. So we have an earlycrop that is yielding great, anda late crop that did not get themoisture that it needed to fin-ish because it quit raining inearly August and has been drysince. The lack of moisture in
August and September has puta hamper on the pasture situa-tion, too. Grass that just keptcoming back through most ofAugust, simply quit inSeptember. The hay crop wasabundant, but now the idea offeeding hay in October hasbecome a reality for some,and probably should for oth-ers. Grazing the fields downto the ground this late willmost likely not give them timeto recover, thus hurting thechances for recovery evennext summer. The upcomingGrazing School mentionedbelow in the Dates toRemember will address someof the grazing issues.
Another problem thatseemed to explode in 2010concerns ponds. Dr. BillLynch, OSU State Specialist,puts together a newsletterabout ponds. The latest edi-tion is available on our web-site at http://brown.osu.edu oryou can stop by our office onthe Brown Co. Fairgroundsfor a copy. The newsletteraddresses harmful algaeblooms, submerged aquaticplants, fish kills and more.

kickoff and the Bronco defense set thetone for the evening, holding CNE to zeroyards on the game’s opening drive.Western didn’t fare any better on its
first drive. The Broncos moved the ballinto CNE territory before the drive endedwith an interception.The Rockets mustered five yards on

senior night game to begin,Eastern took the first posses-sion of the game, passed itdown the field, and scoredtheir first goal just 15 secondsinto the game. The goal cameoff a combination head shotfrom senior forward AmberYockey, with an assist fromjunior forward Allison Prine.
West Union was stunned as tohow fast Eastern managed toget on the board, and with thegame time shortened to just30-minute halves, they wouldhave to act quick.Playing from behind, the
girls of West Union foughthard against a tough LadyWarrior defense, missing theirfirst, and only, shot of the halfinto the hands of Eastern sen-
ior goal keeper Kaylee Purdy.The Lady Warriors went on tocapitalize on the blocked shot,scoring their second goal justfive minutes into the game ona beautiful shot by senior for-ward Megan Scott.It wasn’t looking good for
West Union’s defense, whogave up two more goals with-in just over a minute of eachother. Connecting yet again,the Eastern Lady Warriors’duo of forwards Prine andYockey teamed up on anothercombination shot at the 20:25mark. The Lady Warriors’ fourth
and final goal of the half cameon a lone strike by Prine, whoended the half with two assistsand a goal of her own.As the second half was
underway, and the LadyWarriors up four, West Unionwas in desperate need of someoffense. Struggling to getacross midfield proved to bevery difficult, as the Easterndefense just wouldn’t give upanything. The Lady Warriorsshot several attempts at thegoal but West Union juniorgoal keeper Mary Hill was ontop of her game, not lettinganything by her.

Southern State Community College board, faculty finalize contract agreementSouthern State Community
College (SSCC) and theSouthern State EducationAssociation (SSEA) announcedon July 20 that they hadreached a tentative agreementregarding the faculty contract.During a regularly scheduledboard meeting, Wednesday,Sept. 8, the Southern StateCommunity College Board ofTrustees voted unanimously toapprove the contract betweenthe college and faculty mem-bers.
“This is a mutual win foreveryone involved—simply thebest possible outcome,” saidKay Ayres, SSCC Board ofTrustees chair.The contract, which previ-
ously was agreed to by repre-sentatives of the SSEA andSouthern State CommunityCollege, was ratified by theSSEA on July 23. Followingfinal editing by the SSEA it wasthen forwarded to the college’sBoard of Trustees in earlySeptember for approval.“There were many items
included in the recent bargain-ing. On behalf of the SSEA weare pleased that the contract hasbeen ratified by all involved,”said Tom Stroup, AssociateProfessor and SSEA president.He further added, “Consistentwith the nature of the workingrelationship during negotia-tions, faculty are eager to beginthe work that lies ahead.” “I am pleased that these
negotiations have resulted in atimely agreement. Both teamsworked hard to prepare a con-tract that was not only fair andequitable but also one that mag-nifies the institution’s commit-ment to academic quality,” saidDr. Kevin S. Boys, SSCC pres-ident. President Boys contin-ued, “Finalizing this contractprior to students returning tocampus on Sept. 20 representsone less distraction in theimportant work offering highquality education. I applaudboth teams for the work theyput into this and I am grateful tothe board for their recognitionof this work.”Included among the articles
opened for negotiation wereitems relating to semester con-
version, distance education,academic quality initiatives,student centeredness, as well ascompensation and benefits. Dr. Ryan McCall, Vice
President of Academic Affairs,commented on several of themajor issues including the col-lege’s upcoming conversion toa semester calendar systemscheduled for 2012 which is thefinal year of the new agree-ment. He said, “The old con-tract was constructed for aquarter-system framework. Toavoid complications during theconversion, new language wasintroduced relevant to futureneeds.” Working closely withLinda Chamblin, AssociateProfessor of Mathematics andSSEA bargaining team memberas well as others, “We wereable to work together throughnumerous details to make surethe contract was semesterready” said McCall.In addition to the technical
aspects of the language sur-rounding semester conversion,both teams negotiated withmindfulness toward quality andstudent centeredness. Dr.McCall added further, “Wewere able to make some signif-icant advancement in our struc-ture for distance education.Collaboratively, we establishedsome clear standards relevant tothe distance learning platform,training expectations, andfinancial considerations thatallow for better planning.Through these efforts we haveenhanced the efficiency andcompetitiveness of SouthernState’s distance learning pro-gramming.” He further com-mented, “We are also pleasedwith the mutual resolve to cre-ate a more meaningful modelfor faculty evaluation.”Faculty and administration willbe meeting over the next year todesign a faculty evaluation sys-tem that emphasizes validationand improvement of effectiveteaching, professional develop-ment, and service to the institu-tion.James Bland, Vice President
of Student Affairs andEnrollment Management, alsoadded in regard to student cen-teredness, “Through the negoti-
ations both faculty and admin-istration were deliberate inplacing student needs in theforefront. While we didn’t sig-nificantly change languagerelated to time on campus,advising, and so forth, we allagreed that it would be worth-while to evaluate our existingsystems related to these itemsand jointly employ strategiesthat would make life easier forstudents in terms of advisingand accessing faculty.” In thenear future, the college willconvene a working group offaculty, staff, administration,and students to improve stu-dents’ academic experience.Among the items top on the listinclude expanding use of thecollege’s web page to connectstudents with faculty andexplore any unmet advisingtraining needs. “Regarding compensation
and benefits, there wasunprecedented bargainingbetween both groups,” com-mented President Boys. VicePresident of Business andFinance, Jim Buck added,“Reaching agreement on sus-tainable, quality health care wasof primary importance.” Hefurther added, “Compensationincreases of 3% in addition tothe step for each year of thecontract, reflects a fair andequitable agreement. Theintroduction of a highdeductible Health SavingsAccount (HSA) and conces-sions surrounding the employ-er/employee contributions tothe traditional PPO (80/20% inyears two and three of the con-tract) position the college wellfor long term sustainability ofquality health care.” The SSEA contract is effec-
tive September 1, 2010,through August 31, 2013.Among other business,
Board Chairperson, Kay Ayers,welcomed Highland CountyCommon Pleas Judge, RockyCoss to the meeting to installthe newest trustees. JudgeCoss prefaced his task by men-tioning his “support and respectfor this institution.” He alsoapplauded the existing and newboard members by expressinghis appreciation for their will-
ingness to serve. Sworn inwere four new appointmentsfrom Ohio Gov., Ted Stricklandincluding Michele Cimis(Highland County), LeilaniPopp (Clinton County), JudithA. Craig (Fayette County) andDonald Moore (FayetteCounty). Consideration of the June 11
minutes and the President’s
Report followed executive ses-sion. Highlighted in thePresident’s Report were severalof the college’s newest academ-ic hires including ThomasSmith, Agriculture faculty,Robin Roche, LawEnforcement faculty, and Dr.Carry DeAtley, Dean ofTechnology and CareerPrograms. Finally, the SSCC

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN
Pet overpopulation is a bigproblem. As these statisticsshow, in order to help keep upwith the current flood of pup-pies and kittens, every personwould have to own two dogsand six cats at all times duringtheir entire lifetime(Assuming that PEOPLELIVE FOR 75 YEARS, ANDDOGS AND CATS FOR 10).A HOUSEHOLD OF FIVEWOULD HAVE TO HAR-BOR TEN DOGS ANDTHIRTY CATS! A DOPTIONALONE IS OBVIOUSLYNOT THE ANSWER!Altering is. Please spay orneuter your dogs and cats. All pets should be surgical-
ly/neutered for many reasons.See ad for spay/neuter facts.Unwanted animals are
becoming a very real concern.Stray animals can easilybecome a public nuisance;soiling parks and streets, ruin-ing shrubs, frightening chil-dren or elderly people, creat-ing noise and other distur-bances, causing automobileaccidents, and sometimeseven killing livestock or otherpets. As a potential source ofrabies and other diseases, theycan become a public healthhazard. The capture,impoundment, and eventualdestruction of unwanted ani-mals will cost taxpayers mil-lions of dollars each year.Facts about Spaying /
Neutering:· Spaying does NOT cause apet to get fat or lazy. Thiscomes from overfeeding andinadequate exercise.· Spaying does NOT alter per-sonalities. Personalities doNOT fully develop until two
years of age. Aggressivenessand viciousness are not theresult of surgery.Personalities will ONLY getbetter!· Surgical risk is very slightdue to modern anesthesia andtechniques, but there isALWAYS some SMALL riskwhen an anesthetic is used.· It is much easier on the petto be spayed before going
through a heat cycle, due tothe smaller size of the repro-ductive tract.· The best age to spay orneuter pets is 3-6 months ofage.· Surgery is performed pain-
lessly while your pet is undergeneral anesthesia.Postsurgical pain is minimal.Most pets go home the sameday that surgery is performed.
