There are a few people inBrown County who werearound the last time this muchsnow fell in February...but notmany.The last time it happened

was in 1914.That was when the

National Weather Servicerecorded 21.4 inches of accu-mulation, which was passedup when another seven inchesfell last Monday night.And with the month not

over yet, forecasters expectthat total to grow.One person keeping an eye

on the snow totals is CountyEngineer Todd Cluxton.The snowfall on Feb. 15

and 16 has cost the countyanother one hundred thousanddollars in overtime, salt andfuel to plow the roads.Cluxton said the total for

this month has been around aquarter of a million dollars.He said the problems

caused by the snow continue

to pile up.“Our salt supply is now

very low”, Cluxton said.“We are no longer able to

sell salt to the townships andvillages until we get somemore deliveries.”Cluxton said he has ordered

another 1450 tons of salt, buthas only gotten 100 tons sofar.That’s just about enough to

cover the 346 miles of countyroads one more time.Schools are also feeling the

impact of the snow.Because of the recent win-

ter weather, each public andvocational school district inBrown County has exceededthe five calamity days theOhio Department ofEducation permits students tomiss without having to makeup later.As of this past Thursday,

Feb, 18, the Eastern Local,Southern Hills JointVocational and WesternBrown Local school districtshave three days to make upbeyond their allotted fivecalamity days; the

Georgetown ExemptedVillage and Ripley-Union-Lewis-Huntington Localschool districts have two tomake up; and the Fayetteville-Perry Local School Districthas one to make up.In an interview this past

week, Western Brown LocalSchool DistrictSuperintendent JeffreyRoyalty said one thing aboutthe recent weather that hascomplicated his district’sefforts to be open on somedays is the fact there are someplaces where buses, even ifthey are able to drive on roadsto pick up students, can’t turnaround because work crewshave dumped picked-up snowon places buses use to turnaround.At the Georgetown

Georgetown sewage treatmentrate hike yet to be determinedBY Wayne BoblittThe Brown County Press

While Georgetown utilitycustomers may have ideasabout how much their electricand water costs are going torise in the near future, theyhave yet to find out what ratehikes they will have in theirsewage treatment servicebills.That’s because

Georgetown doesn’t know yethow much state and/or feder-al funding it may receive tohelp pay for some scheduledand required improvements toits sewage treatment systemestimated to cost $8.3 millionaltogether.The amount of that funding

will determine how muchcustomers will have to con-tribute to pay for the improve-ments, which GeorgetownVillage Administrator Kelly

Jones said are planned inthree phases.During a Feb. 16 interview

in his office, Jones said thefirst phase is construction of aretention basin and a new liftstation on Opossum Run, atributary of White Oak Creek.The second is a collection

system and a retention basinnear the village’s wastewatertreatment plant on EffluentDrive, which is south of anddirectly behind the BrownCounty Fairgrounds.The third involves major

renovations to the wastewatertreatment plant itself. Jonessaid the Ohio EnvironmentalProtection Agency hasrequired that all the village’splanned improvements becompleted by September2014.He said residential and

Georgetown revises HealthInsurance Buyout ProgramBY Wayne BoblittThe Brown County Press

The village ofGeorgetown’s PersonnelPolicy Manual has a newHealth Insurance BuyoutProgram Policy followingGeorgetown Village Councilaction on Jan. 28.

Council members meetingin regular session approved aresolution to adopt modifica-tions to the old HealthInsurance Buyout ProgramPolicy and to repeal a resolu-tion approved by a formerGeorgetown Village Councilpertaining to that policy.

The Health InsuranceBuyout Program permitsGeorgetown municipalemployees not covered by thehealth insurance offeredthrough the village to take abuyout from the village.

The money Georgetownpays those non-participatingemployee is less than the totalpremiums the village wouldhave paid during a given yearfor that participating employ-ee, thereby saving funds forthe village.

The village will pay a par-ticipating employee 12 per-cent of the amount of a premi-um the village would havepaid for that worker eachmonth, and the annual buyout

paid to a worker equals 12times the 12 percent monthlysavings amount.

The policy has stipulationsincluding the fact a participat-ing employee must have otherhealth insurance coverageavailable through a spouseand must provide proof ofsuch other coverage.

The employee also mayreceive a buyout paymentonly for the type of healthinsurance coverage he or sheis eligible to receive fromGeorgetown. For example, anunmarried man or womancouldn’t receive a buyout fora family plan.

Free Yard Sale Dates SetIn other matters at the

meeting, council members:• Set the dates for the vil-

lage’s three CommunitywideYard Sale weekends for 2010.Yard sale vendors will nothave to pay the village forpermits during those week-ends, which are Fridays-Sundays, May 7-9, July 16-18and Sept. 10-12.

• Engineering TechnicianChris Hatfield with SantoroEngineering Co. ofGeorgetown gave an updateon the efforts that company,which has been contracted bythe village of Georgetown,has been making to get prop-erty owners in the village to

comply with the village’sunsafe structures ordinance.

Hatfield reported five or sixproperty owners had agreedeither to repair or demolishtheir structures that weredeemed to be unsafe in theircurrent conditions based onthe ordinance.

In a Feb. 16 interview in hisoffice, Village AdministratorKelly Jones reported the vil-lage with SantoroEngineering’s help alreadyhad addressed the agreed-torepairs or demolitions ofabout 10 other structures inGeorgetown.

• Agreed to repair a side-walk on the north side of EastState Street (State Route 125)near the Morrison PlaceApartments and construct acrosswalk across East StateStreet to that sidewalk.

Don’t let others play gameswith your medicare coverage

When you let other peopleplay games with yourMedicare coverage, everybodyloses. That’s the messagebehind a series of 60-secondspots airing on select radio sta-tions in southern and south-eastern Ohio in February andMarch. The Ohio Departmentof Aging has teamed with theAreaAgency onAging District7, Inc. to educate people withMedicare about health carefraud and provide the tools andresources they can use to pre-vent it.

The radio spots were createdby “Voice of Your Consumer”as part of the department’stwo-year Senior MedicarePatrol (SMP) Integration grant.They feature a game showstyle announcer who tellsunsuspecting consumers thatthey’ve “won” a medical pro-cedure or medical equipmentthat they do not need and didn’tactually receive. When the“winners” question the prize,the announcer reluctantlyreveals that the deal is in hisbest interest, not the con-sumer’s.

“The message is fun, but theproblem is very serious,” saidBarbara E. Riley, director ofthe department. “Medicarefraud costs American taxpay-ers an estimated $60 billioneach year.”

“Every dollar lost to fraudcould have been used to pro-vide medical care, supporthome care services, and helppeople avoid unnecessarynursing home placements,”added Pamela K. Matura,Executive Director of the AreaAgency on Aging, District 7,Inc. “Working with state andlocal partners, we want to helpthe people in our communitieslearn to recognize, report, andultimately stop this and othertypes of health care fraud.”

Fraud includes billing forservices that were not provided

or equipment that wasn’treceived, over-billing,“unbundling” hospital chargesso you are billed separately,and more. Older Ohioans canhelp fight fraud by carefullyreading their quarterlyMedicare Summary Noticesand noting any charges they donot recognize or providers theyhave not used. If possible, con-sumers should address issuesfirst with their providers, butcan also call the state SMP hot-line at (800) 488-6070 forassistance.

Other ways to prevent fraudinclude protecting yourMedicare card much like youwould your Social Securitycard, and not providing yourMedicare number in exchangefor free meals or prizes. Formore information, contact theRegional Long Term CareOmbudsman Program DirectorKaye Inoshita toll-free at (800)582-7277.

Ohio seniors who wish tohelp spread the word aboutMedicare fraud to other seniorscan call the SMP hotline num-ber above to volunteer.

The Area Agency on AgingDistrict 7. Inc. serves the fol-lowing counties in Ohio:Adams, Brown, Gallia,Highland, Jackson, Lawrence,Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.Services are rendered on a non-discriminatory basis. TheAgency’s Mission is,“Assisting individuals to main-tain independence and person-al choice by providing resourceoptions and services.”

The Area Agency on AgingDistrict 7, Inc. has several OhioSenior Health InsuranceInformation Program (OSHI-IP) volunteers who are avail-able to counsel Medicare recip-ients about their Medicareissues, including the Part DPrescription Drug Plan and the“Extra Help” program thatassists income-eligible partici-

pants with paying premiums,keeping them from entering the“doughnut hole” of coverage.If Medicare recipients receivephone calls or mail solicita-tions they are unsure of, theycan call an Agency volunteertoll-free at (800) 582-7277.Those interested in learningmore about the services pro-vided through theAreaAgencyon Aging District 7, can alsocall toll-free at (800) 582-7277.

Letters to the Editor

What Do You Think?“Who do you think is thebest president the UnitedStates ever has had?”

Volunteer bares teeth at detractorDear Editorand Ms. Bath,In answer to your question:

Yes, we at the Brown CountyHumane Society can read.Further, we comprehend whatwe read. Generally, we spelland punctuate correctly.You deny you “attacked”

the Brown County AnimalShelter, but every time youcriticize the Brown CountyHumane Society’s efforts atthe Brown County AnimalShelter you diminish publictrust in that facility. That, inessence, is an “attack”. Youmight just like seeing yourname in print, Ms. Bath, butyour petty rants to the editorhurt only the homeless ani-mals you profess to protect.Because you keep bringing

up the same tired issues, I’lltry once more to make it clearfor you.Yes, as you point out

(again), Humane SocietyTreasurer Ms. Fletcher didstate, “…we just spent $315to purchase scales for theshelter…” Yes, she wrote thecheck, but the funds weredonated to the Society. And,yes, underfed dogs may havebeen just one motivation forthe purchase, but that’s nolonger a concern. Again forthe last time, the prime moti-vation was - and is - to cali-brate medications every dayand to provide the courts withan accurate intake weight in

cruelty cases. End of discus-sion.We don’t need you to

define ‘employee’, ‘volun-teer’ or ‘business’. I, amongothers, volunteer and – justlike you- “perform a servicewillingly and without pay”.The rescues you mention ashaving ‘employees’ are alsononprofits – just like you. Doyou consider them businessesbecause they have ‘employ-ees’, but you’re not becauseyou don’t? The HumaneSociety is all volunteer, non-profit, and spends everypenny on animals – just likeyou - but we also provide aspay/neuter program, sheltermedications, equipment, res-cue expenses, etc. That does-n’t make us - or you - anymore ‘noble’ than the others.End of discussion.We all agree (again) that

donated food is more costeffective. A goal might be tocoordinate donations to pro-vide a more consistent diet forthe already stressed dogs. Inthe meantime, the HumaneSociety – not the county -applied for a program toobtain a consistent diet for thecost of shipping alone. Thatprogram is on hold and I’vewatched shelter staff wel-come, appreciate, and feed alldonated food. End of discus-sion.You wrote during your visit

to the shelter you were “lead

(sic) to believe” proposedimprovements “…would beat the counties (sic) expensesuch as sound proofing thebuilding and new cages forthe puppy room”. I’ll try tomake it simple for you, Ms.Bath. Humane Society mem-bers volunteered time andpersonally donated all materi-als for the recent shelter reno-vations. The Humane Societybought the puppy cages thatthe former dog wardenscrapped, and now theSociety has voted to pay fornew cages. No county fundsinvolved. Yes, we agree thatin today’s economic climatethe county can’t afford it.But, it’s necessary for thedogs’ health and the shelterstaff wants it, so we’re doingit. End of discussion.You write (again), “My

question remains what aboutthe other animals?” suggest-ing we read the ORC codepertaining to cows, horses,pigs, goats, etc. We know thecodes, Ms. Bath. We alsounderstand the ramificationsof Issue 2, HB 414 and theresponsibility of the ODA.Since you mentioned a specif-ic code, let me clarify that onefor you. ORC 1717.13 per-mits anyone – yes, thatincludes you, Ms. Bath – totake possession of any animalto protect it from neglect.You don’t have to be aHumane Agent or a member

of the Humane Society to doso. That means you, Ms. Bath.We have our hands full rightnow helping to care for andplace the 109 dogs loggedinto the shelter in just the lastmonth-and-a-half. But, if youhave the time, resources, andmanpower to police farmersand grab their animals, have ago at it. When you practicewhat you preach, Ms. Bath,call us. I hope this clears upsome of your misconceptions.Brown County Humane

Society volunteers are mak-ing a difference in the lives ofhomeless and helpless dogs,and, in the process, we’remaking the shelter a morepleasant place to work andhouse those dogs. We’vehelped and placed dogs thathave been shot, dragged by avehicle and starved by thevery people they’ve trusted. Idon’t understand the fault youfind with this, Ms. Bath.For everyone else, I’d like

to encourage you to visit theBrown County AnimalShelter to meet the new dogwarden, the caring staff, andjust maybe take home a newbest friend. Many of the shel-ter’s dogs are displacedhousebroken pets. Shelterhours are Monday throughFriday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to2 p.m.

Dear Editor,Let’s think “libertarian” for

a moment: Unrestrained capi-talism, devoid of governmentinterference and any type ofbailout should the companygo belly-up due to misman-agement. The market sets thepace and decides who winsand who loses - who prospersand who gets flushed downthe toilet. Free trade and capi-talist ideas determine thewhole thing - sink or swim,do or die, money made andmoney lost. Taxation is keptto a bare minimum. Welfare isslashed to the bare bones. Andeverybody is held responsiblefor taking care of his own. Isthere anything wrong withthis picture? No, not a thing!That is unless you’re a social-ist or a communist, whobelieves that the state shouldbe left responsible for deter-mining who gets what, whenand where, and that it is thejob of government to redis-tribute the wealth.I had a man tell me recent-

ly that anybody who thoughtalong those lines was a selfishS.O.B. who didn’t care abouthis fellow man. Funny, Ialways thought that anybodywho didn’t think along theselines was selfishly burdeningthe next generation... and thenext... and the next... and the

next... with untold debt andlittle chance of coming out ofit on top.Before government took

over trying to cure us ofpoverty, we were doing betteron our own!Let’s look at what history

teaches us, (and no, not thatrevisionist crap) about howcapitalism actually savedAmerica from the very begin-ning: when the first perma-nent settlers arrived fromEngland to the Jamestowncolony in 1607, they had anabundance of everything athand - fertile soil, wild game,seafood, etc. And yet, theywere almost starved out ofexistence. Why? (In fact, thishappened twice, in 1607 andagain two years later, in whatwas known as “the starvingtime.”)The reason for such wide

spread starvation was prima-rily due to a severe lack ofindustry fostered by a systemof indentured servitude - noneof them were working forthemselves, at first. Theywere working for the VirginiaCompany. None of these earlycolonists had a financial stakein the venture. They wereexpected to work off theirpassage to the new World fora period of seven years - whatwas produced collectively

went into a common pool,from which each received thesame amount, the rest goingto the Virginia company. Callit “collectivized farming” orcall it a type of “socialism” -it failed miserably. It didn’tturn around toward the greatergood until around 1611 whenSir Thomas Dale was sent asthe “high marshall” of theVirginia Colony. He was theone who recognized the prob-lem of command ownership.At his suggestion, each

man was given a “privateproperty” and allowed towork for himself - a total ofthree acres, from which hewas to pay the colony thelump sum of two and a halfbushels of corn. When thebenefit of private propertywas introduced, each manbecame more industrious andproductive. The colony flour-ished.The same can also be said

about the Pilgrims atPlymouth - they neededincentive and this was provid-ed by the capitalist spirit. TheAmerican Revolutionary Warwas fought for reasons of eco-nomic freedom as much asany other reason - if not moreso. In fact, every great under-taking and achievement canbe traced back to the capitalistincentive of monetary gain

and the spirit of free enter-prise. Government interven-tion has little or nothing to dowith our success as a nation.Kicking the government

out of our lives, as much aspossible, is the only thing thatwill save us economically.Being free from the tyrannyof over-taxation will give usthe gusto to get back on thetrack of true economic free-dom. And, if a corporation orbank should fail, let it do soon its own - and then let therest learn from its failure.

God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be;

So he put His arms around him, and whispered, “Come with me.”

With tearful eyes we watched him suffer, and saw him fade away;

Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest;

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the Best!

Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts.

"Snowbirds" need to know how toaccurately respond to 2010 censusWith Census Day 2010 less

than two months away, theOhio Department of Aging isreaching out to Ohioans wholive in warmer climates duringthe winter months, informallyknown as "snowbirds," to makesure they know how to correct-ly fill out their 2010 Censusform.

"Many federal programs thatprovide services to Ohio's sen-iors, including our home deliv-ered meals, long-term careombudsman program and sen-ior employment program, usecensus data to determine howmuch funding Ohio willreceive," said Barbara E. Riley,director of the department. "It's

vital that we have an accuratecount of our residents to ensurewe can continue to meet theneeds of our state's two millionseniors."The 2010 Census will take

place on April 1, 2010, withquestionnaires arriving mid-March. Forms are sent to everyresidence, meaning if you havetwo residences, such as onehere and one in Florida, youwill receive forms at bothaddresses. Snowbirds shouldlist their Ohio residence as theirpermanent household if theyspend the majority of the yearhere.According to the U.S.

Census Bureau, to be countedonce, in the right place and atthe right time, a snowbirdshould fill out both of the formsthey receive:• On the form that you

receive at your seasonal resi-dence (meaning you spend lessthan the majority of your yearhere), the only questions thatshould be answered are ques-tion one and question 10. Forquestion one, enter a "zero."For question 10, select "yes, atseasonal or second residence."• On the form that you

receive at your permanenthousehold (where you spendthe majority of your year), youshould fill out the entire surveyeven if you are still at your sea-sonal residence on April 1. Forexample, if you live in Ohioeight months a year and anoth-er state for four months, yourOhio residence is your perma-

nent household.The department also encour-

ages Ohioans to share these tipswith friends or family memberswho have already left for theirseasonal residences. The datacollected during the 2010Census will be used to distrib-ute more than $400 billion dol-lars to states and local commu-nities and also will determineOhio's representation in theU.S. House of Representativesover the next decade.The United States Post

Office will not forward censusquestionnaires. In May andJune, U.S. Census Bureauemployees will visit residencesthat do not return a form. Toavoid a knock on your door,complete your form and mail itback. For more informationabout the 2010 Census, visitwww.2010census.gov.

Plans are underwayfor Magic WatersTheatre 2010!Tony Copper, long-time

Magic Waters Theatre familymember, Xenia, has written adelightful season of familyentertainment for the rusticamphitheater on Cave Roadnear Bainbridge. Having beenaway from Magic Waters for afew seasons, seeking his fortunein the big city of Dayton, Tonyreturned last summer for a smallpart in the “OddCouple-FemaleVersion”, and he realized howmuch fun he had been missingout on! A call to Janny Briziuswho is co-producer along withher husband, Boonie, unveiledan entire season of plays whichhe had written for 2010! Thefollowing is a rough idea ofhow things will go for the sea-son. Opening with one ofTony’s famous MurderMysteries, this one is to be enti-tled “Sherlock Holmes’American Cousin in theMystery of the WalkingCorpse”, they will probablythen present “Hansel & Gretel”,but this version will not be forthe kiddies only, as in Tony’sHansel and Gretel, the maincharacters are teenage ghostbusters --intended to be greatfun for folks of all ages! Tony’spart of the season will concludewith ‘Hamlet!” Yes, THEHamlet, with Shakespeare’soriginal language, but set inmodern day time, much thesame as the “Romeo & Juliet”adaptation that he wrote a fewyears ago for the theatre whichwas so very well received.Be watching the web site at

In Loving Memory of Ronald Gene HittBorn February 27th, 1936

Passed Away February 25th, 2009 at the Age of 72 (2 Days Before His Birthday)One year has passed since you

went home to be with JehovahGod and you have been greatlymissed. But He knew you werehurting so bad and so tired thatHe knows what the right time is,no matter who is left behind andhow hard it is to accept. Heexpects us to go on and “Trust InHim”. We really have no choice.His father (Charles Hitt) andmother (Dorothy Hitt) fromBatavia, Ohio, passed away with 9months apart of each other whenRon was only 15 years old. Thiswas very hard on him. He thenlived with his brother Charles Hittof Batavia. His other brotherswere Bill Hitt, Calvin Hitt, and JoeHitt. He had two sisters, Doris Hittand Gerri Hahn. He later moved toWilliamsburg, Ohio with DorisHitt to finish school there. He was so very hand-some. That is where and when he met the “love ofhis life” Janice. Then when he was old enough he

and his best friend Bill Spaulding joined the UnitedStates Marines. After he had been in the service for3 years he wanted to get married. So he had his

sweetheart come toSouth Carolina near theMarine Base to be mar-ried November 19, 1957.He served his 4 yearterm and was dis-charged as Sgt. RonaldG. Hitt. He was only outof the service 2 weekswhen A.T.&T. (telephonecompany) offered him ajob (he was theiryoungest). He was veryintelligent with elec-tronics. Between themand Cincinnati Bell heremained there for 30years and retired at 50years old. Ronald andJanice had 5 children. 1daughter - Rhonda and4 sons - Ronald, Kevin,

Robert and Dale. 9 grandchildren - Matthew GeneDennemann, Tim Dennemann, Ronald Gene Hitt,Matthew Laws, Kevin Joe Hitt, Kasey Lee Hitt,Rachel Frances Hitt, Dawson Anderson Hitt, andTyler A. Hitt. 2 great-grand-daughters - Rebekahand Courtney Dennemann.

He loved his children very much and was a won-derful father. He enjoyed hunting with his sons.While he was sick his daughter stayed with him tohelp him. He enjoyed talking about God with her. Heloved the birds, he could tell you everything aboutthem just by a sound they made. He could talk to anowl at night until it would come right down and siton the fence post next to him. Unbelievable, I know,but I saw him do it many times (large owls, greathorn owls). He could build a home, work on vehi-cles, put electric in, it didn’t matter (whatever). Ronowned and operated many airplanes, he was a greatpilot. He enjoyed playing baseball and was good atit, this man could really run FAST. He was a fantas-tic pitcher, he could throw a fast ball at 94 M.P.H.and a sinker that would break more than 3 ft., at theage of 25 years old. Now that’s good!! From watchingtheir dad play the way he did, our sons learned tolove the sport. Our son Ronald Lee Hitt has beencoach for the Bethel Rangers for nine years now.Grandsons, Ronald Gene Hitt and Matthew Laws,play on his team. Ron was very proud to watch hisson coach and grandsons play. His first (4) four chil-

dren were born to him and Janice very close togeth-er and then (9) years later the 5th child was born(son Dale). Janice was 33 and Ron was 36 years old.He was a good husband, father, provider and I madea stupid choice in my life...I got a divorce. But Ialways loved him. I could not even go to his funeral,I did not want to say goodbye. We both remarriedlater on but my children always knew that we lovedeach other. I go to your gravesite, I know you are not

there, but I still talk to you about a lot of things. Italk mainly about our children and how lost theyare without you. We remained friends even after ourdivorce. We shared a lot of conversations togetherover the years until your death.

Folks, be careful with your life you have beengiven by our Great Creator. For we do make mis-takes fast. Choose the right crowd to be with and tryto do things, little things, together. Love JehovahGod and our Dear Savior. Give him thanks each dayfor your life (He is so good). Remember this, “HindSight Will Kick You in the Butt,” This I know for sure.

And we went our ways as friends forever.“Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters”Until we meet again,We Miss YouLove, M.

Ron and Janice

Ron Hitt, 19

Ron at his 64th Birthday Party withhis children

Last week I left off in Daniel 7:25where it tells us that the antichristwill think to change times andlaws. According to I Timothy 4 inthe latter times some will giveheed to seducing spirits and doc-trines of devils. Not only will theantichrist forbid people to marry,he will also change laws concern-ing dietary habits and will com-mand people everywhere toabstain from eating meat. Thiswill bring about world faminebecause all beef, pork, poultry,and so on which is being con-sumed will stop being consumed.People will starve to death whilethe animals eat the food. I believethe great famines predicted in thebook of Revelation is mainlybrought about by this one com-mand to stop eating meat. Thepreparation for that is already inexistence. The animal rightsgroups are pushing hard now. It isalready to the point where an ani-mal is just as important or some-times even more important than ababy. Babies are being killedevery day in this country by abor-tion while people are being put injail for killing an animal. Awhileback a man killed a dog and it wascalled murder. Yet when a baby isaborted people say: oh well it wasjust a fetus. I don’t believe inbeing cruel to animals but whereis our thinking today? Childmolestation, murder, rape, andviolence of all manner is on therise and all these criminals get is aslap on the wrist! We are gettingclose to the time of the antichrist.Let’s find out his identificationaccording to the Bible. Turn withme to John 13 when the disciplesasked Jesus who would betrayHim. We will start here and gobackwards. Look in verses 26-27,“...He it is, to whom I shall give asop, when I have dipped it. Andwhen he had dipped the sop, hegave it to Judas Iscariot, the son ofSimon. And after the sop Satanentered into him.” Satan enteredinto Judas. Now go back to chap-ter 12. Here is where we learn alittle bit more about the characterof this man Judas. Mary hadanointed the feet of Jesus with avery costly ointment. AfterwardJudas Iscariot, Simon’s son, saidin verse 5: “Why was not thisointment sold for three hundredpence, and given to the poor?Verse 6: “This he said, not that hecared for the poor; but because hewas a thief, and had the bag, andbare what was put therein.” Theother disciples never discoveredthat he was a thief and a deceiverright up until the last supper. And

people today are still ignorantabout his true identification andcharacter. They didn’t believe itthen and most won’t believe ittoday. But bare with me and let’sfollow this through in the Bible.We know that Judas was a thief.Now consider what Jesus said inJohn 10:1 “VERILY, verily, I sayunto you, He that entereth not bythe door into the sheepfold, butclimbeth up some other way, thesame is a thief and a robber.”Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Judaswas a thief. The antichrist is athief and a robber. He will stealthe reputation of Jesus Christwhen he comes back and setshimself up as God (IIThessalonians 2:4). Look at verse10 of John 10: “The thief comethnot, but for to steal, and to kill,and to destroy...” Revelation 6:4:“...and that they should kill oneanother: and there was given untohim a great sword.” There arefour horses but only one horse-man and he is the antichrist. Hewill legalize murder. It is almostthat way now. The average jailtime for a murderer in Americatoday is 9 years. Verse 8: “...andpower was given unto them overthe fourth part of the earth, to killwith sword, and with hunger, andwith death, and with the beasts ofthe earth.” This thief, thisantichrist, is coming to steal, kill,and destroy. Isn’t that what Jesustold us in John 10:10? Did youknow that the one called Abaddonand Apollyon in Revelation 9:11is not the devil? He is theantichrist. He is the angel of thebottomless pit. Both names meandestroyer. The thief in John 10 is adestroyer. Now go back to John5:43. Jesus states: “I am come inmy Father’s name, and ye receiveme not: if another shall come inhis own name, him ye willreceive.” He was telling the Jewsthat the day will come when theywill receive the false messiah, thefalse christ. To be continued.

MOE ass't principal saysliteracy is a family affair!

Mt. Orab Elementary'sassistant principal, Mrs.Debra Maham, encouragesfamilies to take part in litera-cy and communication activi-ties with their children to helpthem better understand theworld around them. As fami-lies get ready for school, pre-pare for work, eat mealstogether, shop, do inside andoutside chores or play togeth-er, children are exposed to avariety of ways to communi-cate. They learn through theirown talking and listening andthrough the talking and listen-ing of their caregivers.

Family literacy refers to allthe activities that familiestake part in that develop chil-dren's communication skills,such as listening, speaking,reading and writing. This lit-eracy development begins atbirth and is a building blockfor how children learn to uselanguage. There are manynatural opportunities throughthe week to help support yourchild's developing literacy.Here are a few common activ-ities to enjoy at home withyour child that will promotefamily literacy: Create ashopping list together. Readlabels at the grocery store.Point out familiar and unfa-

miliar road signs. Identifyrestaurant logos. Draw pic-tures and tell stories aboutthem. Write stories together.Read together. Read in frontof your children (newspapers,magazines, etc.). Read thecereal box during breakfast.Play a new game (read andfigure out the instructionstogether). Talk about the day.

Once you get started, youwill see just how many thingsyou can do as a family thatpromotes reading, writing,speaking and listening!

Announcing the 2010 Mocktails Contest Winners!Brown County Safe

Communities, Brown CountyGeneral Hospital, and theSouthern Hills Career &Technical Center co-spon-sored the third annual BrownCounty Mocktails Contest onFebruary 2nd at the hospital.The Mocktails Contest washeld to raise public aware-ness about the importance ofnot drinking and driving dur-ing the upcoming SuperBowl festivities, and to showthat party drinks need notcontain alcohol to be enjoy-able (a “mocktail” is a non-alcoholic party drink).

This year’s contest had afootball theme and was cen-tered around the NFL SuperBowl, as traditionally therehave been almost as manyalcohol-related crashes dur-ing Super Bowl Weekend asthere are with other majorholidays. “Fans don’t letfans drive drunk” was thekey message.

Several folks (includingemployees and patrons ofBrown County GeneralHospital) stopped by andsampled the drinks. We hadmore Mocktail recipes thisyear than ever before, withmany entries coming fromour area’s high schools.Southern Hills Career &Technical Center’s SafetyTeam and the FCCLA chap-ters from both GeorgetownJr./Sr. High and Ripley-Union-Lewis-HuntingtonHigh participated, along withthe Brown CountyCommissioners, BrownCounty Municipal Court, andRumpke, Inc. You couldreally tell that the partici-pants had put a lot of thoughtinto their entries (and theyalso included a “don’t drinkand drive” display with theirMocktail samples).

The schools’ involvement

with this event was outstand-ing. Southern Hills’ SafetyTeam had the Mocktails proj-ect as a class assignment andwas divided into eight teams,each with three students.They had a variety of verytasty drinks, including the“Who-Dey Smu-They”.RULH High’s FCCLA haddone a lot of piloting andtesting of Mocktails with theRULH student body and fac-ulty before the event, and hadalso conducted additionalimpaired driving preventionactivities at the High School.Georgetown High’s FCCLAwent all out with their dis-play (complete with NewOrleans Saints andIndianapolis Colts’ logos andcolors) and even offered fin-ger foods with theirMocktails!

Rumpke, Inc. did anexceptional job once againwith its colorful display and aclever play on words for itsbooth slogan (“Don’t gettrashed on Super BowlSunday!”).

Myron Flaugher had thelargest display of Bengals’decorations at the BrownCounty Municipal Court’sbooth and even enlisted hiswife Anita to help serve hisMocktails! Lastly, (but cer-tainly not least!), our threeCounty Commissioners pre-sented their“Commissioners’ Choice”Mocktail, complete withcheese, crackers, and a verypatriotic display.

Here are the results of theContest, as determined by

those people who stopped byon their lunch hour, tasted theMocktails, and voted for theirfavorite drinks and displays.

Record snowfall for monthof February buries countyaround the school buildings.Pack said that day there hadbeen no need for a secondshift of snow removal work-ers.He said a used snowplow

and salt spreader truck the dis-trict had purchased had beenused many times this winterseason and was working wellwith the installation of a newcutting edge and shoes on theblade. He estimated the districthad saved about $11,970 thisyear with its own employeesremoving snow rather than con-

tracting out that work.Pack reported some snow

piled back at GeorgetownElementary School was 10 to12 feet high.G E V S D i s t r i c t

Superintendent Tony Dunnpraised Pack and the rest of thework crew for their snowremoval efforts, commentinghow they had done a “fantastic”job.Dunn also complimented the

townships located in the dis-trict, saying they are doing amuch job as well of removingsnow.Georgetown Village

Administrator Kelly Jones saidsnow removal work crews hadbegun working non-stop at 7a.m. this past Monday, Feb. 15,with each crew including threeto five people at a time on 12-hour shifts. Jones said eight dif-ferent village employees fromits Street, Sewer, Electric,Water and Cemetery depart-ments had labored in the effort.While Jones reported there

were not a lot of problems, hementioned how the snow of theprevious week which stillremained on the ground, addedto the heavier snowfall that felllast week compared to that ear-lier week, made it difficult to

find places to dump the snowthe work crews removed.He said some snow was

transported to a large parkinglot in the back part of the vil-lage’s Kathryn Hanlon Park.Jones said this past week’s

storm brought an estimated 11inches of snow to the village.He mentioned since Feb. 15was the Presidents’ DayHoliday, and both village gov-ernment and Brown Countygovernment offices were closedin Georgetown, that helped theGeorgetown snow removalcrews’ efforts “tremendously”.Mt. Orab Mayor Bruce

Lunsford reported snowremoval work crews in that vil-lage went out probably around4 a.m. Feb. 15 to begin theirlabor and worked until about 6p.m. this past Tuesday, Feb. 16.After Lunsford had begun an

interview with The BrownCounty Press a little past 8:30p.m. this past Tuesday follow-ing that night’s Mt. OrabVillage Council meeting, helearned a village crew wasgoing to go out to work again.Some new snow was fallingthat night.Lunsford said two of the vil-

lage’s four trucks used in theeffort had broken down butwere repaired. He mentionedsomeone was in each truck andalso in a Bobcat and a backhoe“pretty much all night and allday”.The mayor said this past

week’s snow removal effortwas more difficult than the pre-vious week’s because villageworkers still had the unmeltedsnow from that previous weekwith which to deal.In his Feb. 16 interview,

Lunsford estimated the villagehad used about 350 tons of roadsalt during the last seven days.He said he could speak for

all village street and utilityworkers and police officers bymentioning, “They’re sick ofsnow.”

other Republican candidatesfor the U.S. House ofRepresentatives seat fromOhio’s Second CongressionalDistrict spoke at the endorse-ment gathering: MichaelKilburn of Morrow andDeborah Alsfelder ofMariemont.The Second District

includes all of Brown, Adams,Clermont and Pike countiesand portions of Hamilton,Scioto, and Warren counties.As Hamilton County is themost-populous of those sevencounties, Second District can-didates must file papers to runfor election with the HamiltonCounty Board of Elections inCincinnati.The Hamilton County

Board reported this pastThursday morning, Feb. 18,Schmidt, Kilburn and TimMartz of Cincinnati, who did-n’t attend the Brown CountyRepublican gathering, all hadfield to run for the SecondDistrict seat in the May 4Primary Election. WhileAlsfelder hadn’t filed by thattime, she had until 4 p.m. thatday, the deadline date, to do so.The Hamilton County

Schmidt Makes Her CaseSchmidt, 58, won a Special

Election in August 2005 to fillout the remainder of U.S. Rep.

Rob Portman’s two-year termafter Portman had resigned totake a position in PresidentGeorge W. Bush’sAdministration. She then woncomplete two-year terms in theU.S. House in 2006 and 2008.She told those gathered in

Georgetown on Feb. 11, “I ammad at the direction our coun-try is going.”The Democratic Party cur-

rently has majorities in boththe U.S. House and the U.S.Senate. Schmidt told her lis-tening Republicans, “TheDemocrats are spending usinto poverty.”She said she was mad about

all the dollars being spent atthe federal level and saidCongress had voted five timesin the past 14 months to raisethe federal debt limit, mention-ing how Democrats in the U.S.House had applauded whenthey raised the debt limit themost recent time.“I wanted to cry because I

know what they are doing toour children and grandchil-dren, putting them into finan-cial ruin,” she said.Schmidt said Second

District voters do not want thehealthcare and “cap and trade”climate change legislationmeasures being considered byCongress and supported bymany Democrats.She said she was very upset

$2 billion of federal moneywas awarded to a uraniumenrichment plant in Iowa afterPresident Barack Obamareportedly had promised toaward that money to such aplant in Ohio’s Pike Countywhich has 800 jobs. She addedthe profits from that Iowa plantare being sent to Franceinstead of staying in America.Schmidt was instrumental in

helping Perry Township obtainabout $541,000 in federalfunding to extend 6 1/2 milesof waterlines in that town-ship’s northern area, eventhough actual extension workhasn’t begun yet. She said shesupported that expenditure offederal funds because sheviews it as a public safetyissue.“Perry Township needs safe

drinking water,” Schmidt com-

mented, adding how the feder-al government sometimesneeds to lend a helping hand.Schmidt told her listeners

she is pro-life on the abortionissue, supports gun owners’rights and opposes efforts tolegalize homosexual mar-riages. She also mentioned shehad received Republican Partyendorsements in Adams,Clermont and Scioto counties.

Kilburn Makes His CaseKilburn, 55, began his talk

by mentioning how he hadwon a seat on the WarrenCounty Board ofCommissioners by 19 voteswhen he was 27 and has servedon that governing body since.He described himself as an

“absolute conservative” andmentioned he works with goodleaders in Warren County gov-ernment. He said they wereable to cut their budget by 5percent this year despite thefact their interest revenue wasdown by about $5 million.Kilburn commented,

“Government does too muchfor too many people” andadded, “The federal govern-ment has grown too big,spends too much money, andtaxes us too much.”He said he believes the

Republicans will take back theU.S. House with a majority ofvictories in the 2010 GeneralElection and said when thathappens, Republican votersneed to make sure they have“absolute conservatives” inCongress who will supportconservative issues.Kilburn said corporate tax

rates need to be eliminated, theUnited States needs to dosomething to keep corpora-tions from moving their jobsoverseas, and the federal gov-ernment needs to change itstax structure to either a flat taxor a “fair tax”.“We need to pull the wagon

with the same strength,”Kilburn said of federal taxpay-ers.Kilborn said he is “absolute-

ly pro-life”, supports gun own-ers’ rights and doesn’t support-ing increasing any rights forhomosexual activists.Alsfelder Makes Her CaseAlsfelder, 52, told her lis-

teners she is a Certified PublicAccountant, an attorney and a“military mom” of three sonswho all attended the U.S.Military Academy at WestPoint, N.Y.She said her oldest son was

being deployed to the MiddleEast for the second time inabout three weeks while hermiddle son was expected to bedeployed in August.Alsfelder said “family is

very important to me” andmentioned how she is “conser-vative across the board”. Shesaid she is pro-life and sup-ports the institution of mar-riage as being between a manand a woman.She said she supports term

limits for members ofCongress and wants to seekalternative energy sources tohelp the United States be anenergy independent nation.Alsfelder said the most

important thing a member ofCongress needs to do is abideby the U.S. Constitution, com-menting, “It’s not a living doc-ument, it’s a legal document.”She said Congress needs to

work to make the UnitedStates stronger, safer and bet-ter and Congress needs to putthe Constitution first and tobalance the federal budget.As the mother of children

serving in the U.S. military,she said she knows firsthandthe sacrifices of service per-sonnel and their families andurged her listeners, “We needto let veterans and servicemenknow we support them.”She said the greatest gift a

U.S. citizen can have is a con-tinuation of the Americandream and mentioned, “Mycandidacy is about one thing –making America strong.”

Georgetown sewage treatmentrate hike yet to be determined

Georgetown area have put somestress on the village’s sewagetreatment system and while thevillage currently meets OEPA’sdischarge limits, improvementswill be needed to meet thatagency’s more stringent limits.The village administrator

said Georgetown will seekgrants and low-interest loansfrom funding sources to helppay for its three planned phasesof improvements. “I am confi-dent we can get some grants,but I am not sure how much.”He said possible funding

sources include OEPA, theOhio Public WorksCommission, and federalAppalachian RegionalCommission and CommunityDevelopment Block Grantmonies.

Council Acts For FundingGeorgetown Village Council

members acted at their regularmeeting Feb. 11 to help the vil-lage obtain sewage treatmentsystem improvement fundingby approving two separate rele-vant motions.They authorized Jones to

seek a low-interest loan fromOEPA to help fund the

Opossum Run project, which isestimated to cost $980,000.The council also authorized

the village administrator to seekfunding for the three-phaseproject as a whole fromwhatev-er state and federal sources thatare available.In another sewer service-

related matter, Jones reportedthree Wahlsburg-area residentsinquired at the Feb. 11 councilmeeting about Georgetownextending sewage treatmentservice to their community,which is north of Georgetown.Jones said he, Georgetown

Mayor Dale Cahall and AllenFreeman, a consultant whoworks with the village onobtaining state and federalfunding for projects, discussedthat request with those residentsand informed them that workcould not be undertaken in thenear future because of therequired sewage treatment plantwork to enable Georgetown tomeet OEPAmandates.The administrator said

Georgetown could undertake aproject such as the Wahlsburg-area residents were requestingonly if the village receivedsome federal Stimulus moneyor other funding aimed at that

work.Other Utility News GivenRegarding other utilities,

Georgetown electric customersare expected to pay 17.5 percentmore for that utility in the nearfuture and higher water ratesbeginning in May.Georgetown council mem-

bers authorized VillageSolicitor Jay Cutrell at their reg-ular meeting on Jan. 28 to drawup an ordinance to enact thatincrease, but an ordinance has-n’t been acted on yet, Jonesmentioned this past Tuesday.Village Councilman Chris

Renshaw reported at the Jan. 28meeting Georgetown electriccustomers hadn’t had an electricrate increase in 16 years.Also at the Jan. 28 meeting,

Cahall said Pleasant Township-based Brown County RuralWater Association, which sup-plies water to the village, hasthe option of increasing its ratesevery 42 months. He said theincrease coming to Georgetownin May could be as high as 10.5percent, the maximum allowedunder the village’s contract withBCRWA.The village will pass its rate

increase from BCRWAon to itswater customers. Jones recom-mended the village not pass ona higher increase to its cus-tomers than the percentage bywhich BCRWA increased itsrate to Georgetown.

Eastern Lady Warriors clinch share of SHL titleCoach Richard Kiser records 600th winBy Jeremy SharpPress Contributor

If there was any question asto whether or not EasternBrown Lady Warriors’ headcoach Richard Kiser wasgoing to get his 600th careerwin on Feb. 11 versusWhiteoak, the Lady Warriorsanswered it quickly. Less thantwo minutes into the game,Eastern held a 7-0 lead, andseemed poised to have its waywith the Lady Wildcats. Bythe end of the first quarter, thatlead was 18-2.With 5:57 showing on the

second-quarter clock,

Whiteoak finally scored itsthird point of the night.Unfortunately for the LadyWildcats, the Lady Warriorshad already scored 23. Thiswas a pretty good indicationof how the rest of the gamewould go. Of course, the scorewould become less dramatic,high school basketball teamsjust don’t get held to single-digit point totals. However,the deficit was insurmount-able.By game’s end, Eastern

Brown’s side of the score-board registered 74 points,compared to Whiteoak’s 34.Nearly everyone got to play

for Eastern Brown, and as a

result, 10 Lady Warriorsscored. They were also aidedby 26 Lady Wildcat turnovers,including 14 steals, and a mereone converted free throw byWhiteoak.Megan Scott delivered a

fine performance for Easternwith 11 points and fiverebounds, Shayla Black alsoscored 11 and Rachel Mullinswas the third Lady Warrior towind up in double digits with10. Allison Prine had ninepoints, along with sevenassists, seven rebounds andfour steals. Emily Tatman tal-lied eight points in the win,and Nicolette Clifton andAndrea Neu each had seven.

Coach Kiser’s milestonevictory seemed to be the high-light of this night, but he wasfocused on the present.“The 600 is kind of neat,”

he said, “but winning theleague is really special, thatdidn’t look so good for usthree or four weeks ago. I’mhoping we can make a big runin the tournament.”Kiser may be wisely

focused on this season, but itwould be hard not to lookback on an amazing career,“We’ve had some great

teams over the course of theyears, without them it would-n’t even be close,” addedKiser.

There is no better word todescribe Georgetown’s Feb. 12match up with Felicity-Franklinthan exhausting. It was a rollercoaster ride for both teams from

almost the very start, one thatcould only end well for oneteam.CodyDrake started things off

for the G-Men with a three-point shot, followed by JessChadwell sinking a two, givingGeorgetown a 5-0 lead. Then

things started to get dicey. Itseemed as if the G-Men couldhave put Felicity away at anygiven time. However, turnovers,fouls, and giving up far toomany second chance shotopportunities kept the Cardinalsin it. Georgetown led 16-14 at

the end of one.Felicity went from being

‘just in it’ to on top in the sec-ond quarter, taking advantage ofcontinued G-Men miscues. A10-2 scoring run in favor of theCardinals ended the half, put-ting Georgetown in a 33-24hole.One thing opposing teams

must know about the G-Men isthat they don’t stop playinguntil the final buzzer sounds.The Cardinals found that out thehard way in the second half.Georgetown burst out of thelocker room with a 10-0 run,recapturing the lead. It would beneck-and-neck for the rest of thegame.Ben Cropper was having a

quiet game for the G-Men.Until, that is, the fourth quarter.Cropper exploded for 10 pointsin the final frame, including sixpoints and a steal in just over aminute that would giveGeorgetown the lead for good.It was a valiant effort, andFelicity almost did it, but theCardinals could not knock offthe G-Men. Georgetown wonthe game 67-58.“We didn’t have any intensi-

ty in the first half; we weren’tdoing a good job of executingour offense,” said Georgetowncoach Jerry Underwood “butthey didn’t quit; they kept fight-ing, and they did what they

needed to do.”Jess Chadwell led the charge

for the G-Men, scoring 22points in the win. Cody Drakeplayed a very consistent game,totaling 16 points, while Ben

Cropper’s pivotal fourth quarterperformance netted him a 12-point night. Finally, CodyDunkin and Tyler Turner talliedsix and five points respectively.

Don’t let the cold weatheroverstress your livestock

Remember Issue 2?Back in the fall I received

several calls from peoplewanting to know more aboutIssue 2. Issue 2 passed inNovember and created theOhio Livestock CareStandards Board. The Boardis still being put together andas promised, the HumaneSociety of the United Stateshas come forward with a bal-lot initiative.

If you would like to readwhat is coming next on thisfront you may want to checkout an editorial that appearedin the Columbus Dispatch bydoing an online search (UsingOhio Constitution to wageanimal-rights battles).

Snow, Snow andMore Snow

As I type this on Monday(President’s Day) we are get-ting another heavy dose of thewhite stuff that most kidshope for during the winter.They like to play in it, and itusually means no school.Well, it is not as fun as it oncewas, and it is long from over.The forecast that I heard earli-er is calling for more snowovernight and Tuesday. Thenanother storm for the week-end, and if I heard it correctwe were already 10 inches ofsnow above normal beforethis blast.

I talked to a few farmersthat are having calves born inthis mess. This is not goodweather for newborns or anylivestock. The wet coat thatthis snow is causing, plusthere is a breeze blowing tothe point that it is drifting thesnow, this combination putsadded cold stress on live-stock. In some cases, shelteris just not possible. Whenshelter is possible, it willreduce the stress, but so willadditional calories. Feedingsome additional corn on wet,windy, cold days will reducethe stress. As far as the shelteris concerned, I have a fewcows with young calves thathave access to an open barn,

but they were not in it when Ifed this morning, so maybethey are so stressed after all.Re-scheduled ProgramsI am sure this list will most

likely grow during the week,but here are a couple datesthat I can tell you about. Thefirst one is the Pesticide Re-certification that was sched-uled for Feb. 9 at the FOEBuilding in Georgetown. Thenew date is March 3 at 12:30p.m. You will need to call topre-register for this programno later than March 1. TheFraternal Order of EaglesBuilding in Georgetown at600 Mt. Orab Pike inGeorgetown will be the loca-tion. We appreciate the Eaglespermitting us to use the facili-ty for these programs.

The second program thatwas cancelled was theFebruary Farmer’s Club. Theprogram was discussingEstate Planning. I hope thoseof you who have questionsabout an Estate Plan willattend this free program withany questions you may have.The new date has not yet beenscheduled.

Brian Stephens and his 18-point non-typical deer taken during the Ohio gun season.

New state record deertaken with muzzleloader

On Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010,I was given the opportunityby the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources (ODNR)to report on the official scor-ing and the recording of a newstate record deer taken with amuzzleloader. As I drove toDistrict Five Headquarters inXenia, I traveled acrossHighland County where the18-point non-typical deer wastaken during the Ohio gunseason by Brian Stephens.

When I arrived at the officeat District Five, I found Brian,and his wife, Kelly and otherfamily members, waiting forthe official scoring to begin.As everyone waited for thescoring to start I had a chanceto talk to Brian about his deerand how the hunt took placeon the day he harvested this

great deer. Brian told me thathis deer was taken on a farmthat has been in his family foryears. I asked him if he hadhunted this one deer over thepast few years. He informedme that he hadn’t, but he didsee the deer in 2007. On theday he took his soon to berecord buck, he first saw himabout 7:15 a.m. with a doe.As it has happened to most ofus, she lead his buck away.After a long morning in thestand and then some lunch,Brian made his way back to

his stand for his evening hunt.Around 3:30 things started toget interesting. The big buckcame out at about 250 yardsalong the field’s edge. Thebuck moved in Brian’s direc-tion and came within 80 yardsto give Brian his shot, thesmoke cleared, and then thebuck traveled about 100 yardsand went down. At this timeBrian was watching the deeranxiously and waiting. Hesaid he felt like someone hada hand on his shoulder help-ing him to be calm. Brianunderstands this is a great tro-phy, but he told me that thegreatest trophy of all is themany memories he has ofhunting over the many yearspast with his dad and uncleand other family and friendson his grandfather’s farm. Idid have a chance to talk toBrian’s wife and, althoughshe doesn’t hunt, she is veryhappy for Brian.

As the scoring got startedMike Wendel, David Haney,and Ron Perrine of theBuckeye Big Bucks Clubstarted to measure the mas-sive rack on Brian’s buck.Mike, David, and Ron are cer-tified scorers for the BBBCand will be giving the officialscore for the record book.When they were finishedGary Trent, the president ofthe BBBC, announced thefinal score of the buck to be232 5/8, certifying it as a newstate record, being the largestnon-typical rack ever takenwith a muzzleloader in Ohio.The 35 1/8 left main beam is aBoone and Crockett largestever recorded and the rightmain beam was close behindat 34 1/8. Marty Murphy ofthe National Muzzle LoadingRifle Association stated thatthe score will be recognizedas the largest ever in Ohioaccording to the AssociationsLonghunter Big GameRecord Book. The buck willalso be a record in the WorldClassics in the men’s muzzleloading category according toDan Stapleton. The WorldClassics scoring system doesnot include deductions andthe main beam outside spreadmeasurement is added. Thiswould make the score for theStephen’s buck at 252 0/8.

The Brian Stephen’s buckwill be added to the list ofrecord bucks that have beentaken in Ohio over the pastfew years. Some of the otherson that list are the Beatty bucktaken in Greene County in2000. The Brad Jerman buckharvested in 2004 in WarrenCounty. And, don’t forget thebuck taken in Adams Countyby Jonathan Schmucker in2006. Also, in the same year,the Metzner buck was har-vested by Justin Metzner.After seeing such great buckscoming from Ohio over thepast few years, you just knowOhio has become one of theBIG BUCK STATES.

Governor, Labor Secretary Solis announce $400million from recovery act for passenger rail in OhioState, local leaders and rail supporters from across Ohio join in Columbus to celebrate at the statehouse

Ohio Governor TedStrickland joined U.S. LaborSecretary Hilda Solis, state andlocal officials, and rail sup-porters from across the state toannounce today that Ohio hasreceived $400 million in feder-al stimulus resources to investin passenger rail.

With the goal of launchingservice by 2012, the 3C“Quick Start” Passenger RailCorridor will connectCleveland, Columbus, Daytonand Cincinnati with daily trainservice for the first time innearly 40 years.

The announcement comesas a result of months of far-reaching public and privatesupport among Ohioans forintercity passenger rail.

“With today’s historicannouncement by PresidentObama, Ohio takes a majorstep toward modernizing ourstate’s transportation infra-structure,” said GovernorStrickland. “The 3C Corridorwill create economic develop-ment opportunities and serveas a model of environmentalsustainability. Most impor-tantly, it will put thousands ofOhioans to work over the nextfew years.”

“I’d like to acknowledge allof the members of Ohio’s con-gressional delegation who hadthe courage to support theRecovery Act – the federalstimulus bill – without whichthis historic announcementwould not have been possible,”Strickland added. “Today, weare seeing the beginning of anew way to travel, and thisnew way to travel has left thestation and is bound for Ohio.”

Ohio’s 3C “Quick Start”Plan has drawn unprecedentedsupport from citizens and com-munity leaders, business own-ers and organized labor, sportsteams and universities.

In October 2009, the OhioDepartment of Transportation(ODOT) and the Ohio RailDevelopment Commission(ORDC) submitted a strongapplication seeking a share of$8 billion in federal passengerrail funds made availableunder the American Recovery

and Reinvestment Act.“Based on ridership, the 3C

‘Quick Start’ service wouldrank as the nation’s 12thlargest generator of passengerrail traffic in its inauguralyear,” said ODOT DirectorJolene M. Molitoris. “At thesame time, we will work withAmtrak to strengthen Ohio’sexisting service connectingCleveland, Toledo, andCincinnati with Chicago,Pittsburgh and the EastCoast.”

The application detailed thestate’s plans for investing,constructing, and operating apassenger rail service corridorthat would serve an estimated478,000 passengers in its firstyear of operation - based onprojections by Amtrak, thenation’s largest passenger railservice provider.

“Connecting Ohio’s largestcites through rail will createimmediate jobs and set ourstate on a path towards long-term economic growth,”Senator Sherrod Brown said.“Rail is good for business andgood for our cities. For toolong, our government passedtax cuts for the rich and give-aways to special interests. Aninvestment in rail infrastruc-ture is an investment in MainStreet.”

Nearly six million Ohioanslive within 15 miles of the 250-mile long 3C Corridor, a fed-erally-designated high speedrail corridor and one of themost densely-populated corri-dors in the U.S. currently with-out passenger rail service.

"The 3C Corridor will bringsustainable, quality jobs toNortheast Ohio and highspeed connectivity throughoutthe state," said Rep. Marcia L.Fudge. “I was proud to vote forthe RecoveryAct, which fund-ed this economic developmentand transportation project."

Ohio’s initial applicationrequested $564 million in fed-eral stimulus funds - a figurefrom a fall 2009 Amtrak studythat provided estimates forneeded investments in infra-structure, station stops andequipment. Those costs includ-

ed a 30 percent constructioncost contingency.

ODOT and ORDC willwork with Amtrak and thestate’s freight railroads toquantify final investmentsneeded to maximize capacityfor fluid freight and passengeroperations, and safely providepassenger service at speeds ofup to 79 miles per hour.

“This Recovery Act fundingis not only going to create jobsin Ohio, but it is a critical stepin building the economy ofAmerica’s future. We knowthat putting resources intotransportation, infrastructureand clean energy projects willhelp to move our nation for-ward, revitalize manufacturingand strengthen the middleclass,” said Rep. SteveDriehaus. “This smart invest-ment is going to help speed ourrecovery, and put Cincinnatiand Ohio on the path towardfuture growth and prosperity.”

In addition, the state willwork with local communitieson the costs and needs of eightstation stops, including loca-tions in downtown Cleveland,southwest Cleveland, down-town Columbus, downtownDayton, the Cincinnati suburbof Sharonville, and Cincinnati,as well as in Springfield andnear the National Museum ofthe United States Air Force inRiverside.

“I was so proud to workwith the Governor, adminis-tration and a bipartisan delega-tion to get the President onboard with funding that is cru-cial for a stronger economy inOhio,” Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy.“We are the best place in thecountry for rail servicerestoration, expansion, andhigh speed manufacturing,and have a labor force that isjust right for these types ofinvestments in our infrastruc-ture.”

Based on the same Amtrakstudy, ODOT estimates thatannual revenue - includingticket sales - from the initial 3C“Quick Start” service will beapproximately $12.2 millioneach year. The study then esti-mates that Ohio would need to

identify approximately $17million in additional annualstate investment.

ODOT is identifying non-gas-tax dollars for these oper-ating funds, including existingfederal grant dollars, revenuesfrom advertising on the train,and innovative public-privatepartnerships.

“Today’s announcement iswelcome news. This impor-tant funding will strengthenOhio’s rail system, create jobs,boost Ohio’s economy andcreate an additional mode oftransportation for more thansix million Ohioans,” said Rep.Betty Sutton. “This projectwill provide an alternativeoption for those who commuteto other parts of the state forwork, and will give Ohioans anopportunity to travel and visitother parts of Ohio. Overtime, it will spur economicdevelopment, which will cre-ate additional jobs. Theenhanced rail system will alsoreduce our dependence on for-eign oil and improve our envi-ronment.”

“I welcome Secretary Solisand this new investment inOhio. Our location and trans-portation infrastructure makeOhio one of the most competi-tive manufacturing centers in

America, and this can onlyhelp. Joining our citiestogether is good for our econ-omy, good for our environmentand good for Ohio,” said Rep.Dennis Kucinich.

"This rail corridor is longoverdue. I want to commendGovernor Strickland for histremendously bold leadershipon this project,” said Rep. TimRyan. “Now is not the time forhalf-measures. This projectwill have a transformativeeffect for generations to come.I also look forward to the addi-tion of a Cleveland-MahoningValley-Pittsburgh corridor asthe next step in rail improve-ment.”

The $400 million stimulusinvestment in the 3C “QuickStart” is expected to result in atleast 255 immediate construc-tion jobs over a two year peri-od. According to job-creationformulas by the U.S.Department of Commerce, thisinvestment in Ohio will gener-ate at least 8,000 spin-off jobsand could add at least $1.2 bil-lion to Ohio’s economy.
