Kristina Hensley ofHigginsport is facing twocounts of murder.Butler County Prosecutor

Robin Piper announced thatHensley also faces charges ofAggravated Robbery, Failureto Stop After an Accident andTheft.Hensley reportedly worked

for a company called“Naughty Bodies” which pro-vides private “adult shows”from strippers.A press release from

Piper’s office said “In theearly morning hours ofAugust 7, 2010, Hensley, a35-year old woman fromHigginsport, Ohio, was thedriver of a vehicle whichstruck Monroe resident JaeCho in front of his home. Chowas trapped under the vehicleand dragged for over a mileuntil Hensley came to a stopat a gas station. Cho sufferedsevere trauma and was pro-nounced dead at the scene.Hensley faces 15 to life on

the Murder charges, 10 yearsfor Aggravated Robbery, 5years for Failure to Stop AfterAccident and 12 months onthe Theft offense. The Theftoffense pertains to a secondvictim, involving a differentincident, which was uncov-ered during the police depart-ment’s investigation.The two counts of murder

involve the same victim, JaeCho, however, they are“felony murder” charges,each being premised on a dif-ferent felony - one alleges the

homicide was cause in thecommission of aggravatedrobbery, the other alleges thehomicide was cause as aresult of a felonious assaultwith the use of her vehicle.”Prosecutor Piper stated,

“The Monroe PoliceDepartment and ButlerCounty Sheriff’s Office didan extraordinary job in theirinvestigation, unearthing thedetails which will eventuallyallow us to reveal at trialexactly what happened. It isan event that never shouldhave occurred and Ms.Hensley is responsible for thedeath of Jae Cho.”Hensley told police she

went to Cho’s home for a pri-vate performance and fledwhen he touched her inappro-priately.Hensley remains in the

Butler County Jail.The case has made national

and international headlines,with reports of the incidentcoming from as far away asLondon, England.

CountySales taxincreaseson Oct. 1stBY Wayne GatesThe Brown County Press

The sales tax in BrownCounty is going up...from6.75 percent to seven percent.The 1/4 cent increase takes

effect October 1 and isexpected to add approximate-ly fifty thousand dollars amonth to the county coffers.Since the state of Ohio is

typically two months behindon tax payments, the increaseis expected to bring one pay-ment to the county before theend of 2010.“It (the money) will help

our carryover fund”, saidCounty CommissionPresident Margery Paeltz.“Right now, that fund is at

about 400 thousand dollarsand we need it to be closer toa million to get through thefirst three months of the year.”Paeltz added that the addi-

tional revenue will help makeup for lower interest rates thecounty is receiving frominvestments.The carryover fund is nec-

essary because the next largecash infusion for the countywill be from the Februaryproperty tax collection.Those funds are usually not

dispersed until March, mak-ing it necessary for the countyto carry over enough moneyfrom 2010 to operate for near-ly three months.If the state continues to be

detectives conducting theinvestigation obtained confes-sions from both suspects, whoalso reportedly cooperatedwith the investigation byshowing them other housesthey had burglarized. The sus-pects also were reported tohave agreed to cooperate withClermont County authoritiesregarding crimes theyallegedly had committedthere.Wenninger stated the only

items recovered from theSarvers' alleged burglaries

were those taken from theEastwood Road burglary. Hereported the suspects hadstolen jewelry and cash fromresidences, and the jewelrywas taken to various pawnshops in the GreaterCincinnati Area.The dates of the 10 inci-

dents for which each suspectswere indicted for second-degree burglary were betweenJuly 11 and 17; on or aboutJuly 27; on or about July 28;on or about Aug. 7; on orabout Aug. 10; between Aug.10 and 11; on or about Aug.12; on or about Aug. 16; andon or about Aug. 23 (the datefor two alleged burglaries).The indictment identified thenames of the 10 alleged vic-tims as well.The two were also were

Walk For Life raises about $2,400 for Brown Co. PRCBY Wayne BoblittThe Brown County Press

An estimated 40 to 50 peo-ple participated in thePregnancy Resource Centerof Brown County's 17thAnnual Walk For Life Sept.18 in Mt. Orab.The event raised about

$2,400 for PRC, whose mainoffice is in Georgetown with asecond office open one dayper week in Mt. Orab.Participants walked along a

route of about 2 miles in Mt.Orab. They departed St.Michael's Catholic Church onSouth High Street and headednorthward on that street andreturned the same route, andmoney was raised throughpledges from supporters.PRC Executive Director

Tamma Plymesser called thisyear's effort a success in aSept. 21 telephone interview.“Every time a donation is

made for the Center, it is asuccess,” Plymesser noted.She said the smaller num-

ber of walkers and donationsthis year “seems to be a signof the economy”.PRC's mission includes the

providing of education andservices to people strugglingwith issues arising out ofunplanned pregnancies.In some cases PRC workers

strive to persuade pregnantwomen who are consideringabortions to continue withtheir pregnancies and givebirth to their babies. PRC alsoprovides baby care supplies tosome new mothers in need.Before the 2010 Walk For

Life commenced, a shortdevotional and prayer pro-gram was held at St. Michael'sChurch Fellowship Hall.The Rev. John Bender,

chairman of the PRC Board ofDirectors, talked about howGod in both the OldTestament and the NewTestament is described as thecreator of all, the sustainer ofall, and a God who givesstrength to the weak andweary.“When men try to act in

their own strength and notseek the strength of God, theystumble and fall,” Bendersaid.In a prayer he offered,

Bender acknowledged God as“the only one who can pro-duce life and say when lifecan end” and mentioned how50 million babies killedthrough abortion in the UnitedStates (since the United StatesSupreme Court's Roe vs.Wade decision of 1973) werenot allowed to be born andcarry out the will God had fortheir lives.The minister also prayed

that people would realize onlyGod could get them throughthe hard times everyone isexperiencing today.Following this year's Walk

For Life, a few participantscommented about why theywalked.Linda Mulvaney of Lake

Waynoka simply said,“Because I believe in life.”David Sharp of Sterling

Township said he supports thepro-life statement that abor-tion is wrong. “It's killingchildren.”Ron Dvorachek of

Georgetown said he is verymuch a supporter of BrownCounty PRC and the pro-lifemessage is totally in life withhis theology.Dvorachek said he doesn't

believe there truly is a consti-tutional right to abortion andadded he thinks America's“grassroots” really is pro-life.One of the younger

marchers, Sara Morris, 16, ofSardinia, said she walkedbecause she is against abor-tion and thinks it's wrong. “Ithink all children deserve tolive.”Awards were presented at

the Fellowship Hall for thebiggest Walk For Life fund-raisers in specific categoriesand for some poster winnerslisted by category.Fund-raising winners

included:Youths Kindergarten to

Sixth-Grade: Brett Bellamy,first; Brianna Bellamy, sec-

ond.Youths Seventh-12th

Grades: Morris, first.Adult Male: Sharp, first;

Bender, second.Adult Female: Kay

Poster winners included:Youths K-6th: Brett

Bellamy and BriannaBellamy, tied for first.Youths 7th-12th: Shlayna

Dear Editor,Sept. 26 is World Heart

Day – a day to recognize theimportance of keeping yourheart healthy. But what doyou do if your heart feels bro-ken?For some people who have

lost a family member or closefriend, the sensation of a bro-ken heart isn’t their imagina-tion. It’s called broken heartsyndrome, and it’s caused bya rush of stress hormones andit feels like a heart attack. Forothers, feelings of depressionand hopelessness as they’regrieving can actually increasethe risk of heart attacks andheart disease, according to astudy done by John Hopkins

Hospital.As World Heart Day

approaches, it’s a good timeto take simple steps to takecare of your heart. Workingthrough the grief process canbe as hard on your body as itis on your spirit. The wiseadvice about paying attentionto what you eat and maintain-ing some form of moderateexercise is especially impor-tant now.In all cases, what’s healthy

for your heart is also healthyfor your mind.

Reader says takecare of your heart

Half of Ohio is farmland, whereour farmers not only provide feedfor farms, but also put food ontables and fill the tanks of cars andtrucks around the world. A quarterof Ohioans live in rural areas,where raw materials are harvestedto make everything from air craftengines to clay pots and pans.Throughout our history, smalltowns like Portsmouth, my home-town of Mansfield, and rural com-munities like Athens and NewPhiladelphia have been keys to ourstate’s economic prosperity.

Yet for far too long, Ohio’ssmall towns and rural communitieshave been overlooked. Along thehighways and back roads wheretrucks transport our goods andproducts, millions of Ohioans livemiles away from workplaces,schools, and hospitals. We cannotstrengthenOhio’s economywithoutstrengthening our rural communi-ties and small towns.This month, I’ve been traveling

across our state on a “Made in OhioTour,” meeting with Ohioans whoare rebuilding our hometowns,small businesses, and family farmsto become, once again, the engineof our national economic success.Last week, I was at HockingCollege Energy Institute meetingwith students who are taking cours-es in advanced hybrid energy tech-nology. They’re preparing for thejobs that will drive the 21st centuryeconomy. In that roundtable, localcollege professors, students, andcommunity leaders told me aboutthe work they’re doing to positionOhio as a national hub for cleanenergy manufacturing.

In Athens, I was honored tomeet a 24-year-old volunteer fire-fighter named Eric from Meigs

County who enrolled in HockingCollege’s Energy Institute becausehe felt a clean energy job would bethe best bet for a job in the future.He also wanted to stay in his smallhometown and make a livingthrough a homegrown job.William, a paper mill worker

from Logan County, was recentlylaid off because unfair trade prac-tices closed the doors of the mill.He received trade adjustment assis-tance, which is provided to workerswho lose their jobs because ofunfair trade, to go back to school.He’s training for clean energy jobsbecause he wants a job that will notbe shipped overseas and where hecan make a difference – for hissmall town community and for ournation.

At roundtable discussions inplaces like Logan, and at Barium&Chemicals in Steubenville and atthe Corporation for OhioAppalachian Development AnnualConvention in Marietta, mayors,city planners, and representativesfrom Appalachian developmentagencies discussed how to connecttheir small towns and rural commu-nities with critical public and pri-vate economic developmentresources.Here’s what I’ve heard during

the tour: one way Ohioans are hardat work increasing rural economiccompetiveness and our publichealth programs is by investing in

rural broadband. Access to broad-band will modernize the way smallcommunities work, promoting jobcreation, expanding markets, andstimulating the economy in ruralOhio.

Broadband bridges the digitalgap that too often disadvantagesrural Ohio – undermining businessdevelopment and compromisingtimely access to basic public servic-es like fire, police, and health care.Just this month, the U.S.Departments of Agriculture andCommerce announced that Ohio’sMiddle Mile Consortium(OMMC), a public-private state-wide partnership, will receive morethan $141 million in funds from theAmerican Recovery andReinvestment Act for broadbandexpansion. This includes more than$66 million to fund the ConnectingAppalachia Broadband Plan whichexpands broadband into 34 OhioAppalachian and rural counties.These funds will not only secureexpanded broadband access, theyare projected to create more than500 jobs and spur economic devel-opment in traditionally underservedareas throughout the region.Next week during a roundtable

with dairy farmers and processorsand other agriculture leaders inWooster, we’ll discuss how agricul-ture remains Ohio’s number oneindustry, contributing nearly $80billion to our economy each yearand supporting one out of every sixOhio jobs. And as they harnessinvestment in heritage tourism andstrengthen the local food move-ment, our farmers, entrepreneurs,and educators are also preparingour rural workforce for new oppor-tunities in the clean energy econo-my that Ohio is poised to lead.

Broadband access is part of thatequation.We can also strengthen rural

Ohio’s economy bymodernizing itsaging water infrastructure. Becauseof cost and difficult maintenance,rural water systems are more thantwice as likely to violate drinkingwater standards compared to theirurban counterparts. It can cost up tofour times more for smaller com-munities to maintain and updatetheir wastewater systems, a particu-larly daunting challenge in this dif-ficult budget environment.Our small towns and villages are

making strides to meet safe drink-ing water standards, but we can domore. All Ohioans deserve accessto clean water, but too many com-munities are struggling to affordcostly, but necessary, upgrades tosewer systems. That’s why SenatorVoinovich and I wrote the CleanWater Affordability Act last year toupdate the EPA clean water afford-ability policy to provide for a fulland accurate representation of thefinancial impacts clean waterinvestment programs place on com-munities struggling to meet federalregulations for improving waterinfrastructure.As public servants and workers

like Eric and William explained,and as our small town mayors andAppalachian leaders know, strongrural communities are essential toOhio’s economic prosperity andserve as a barometer for our econo-my’s health. By expanding the roleof the rural workforce in the cleanenergy economy and investing inwater and broadband infrastructure,Ohio small towns and rural com-munities can and will play a pivotalrole in our state’s economic recov-ery.

RULHMiddle observes Constitution/Citizenship DayBY Wayne BoblittThe Brown County Press

Rip l ey -Un i on -Lew i s -Huntington Middle Schoolstudents and many adults aswell learned a lot about theU.S. Constitution and citi-zenship matters at a Sept. 17assembly program.

The students, school facul-ty members and otheremployees, and several invit-ed guests participated in theConstitution/Citizenship Dayassembly in the RULHMiddle School Gymnasium.Principal Michael

Kennedy began the programby commenting, “We are hereto celebrate what it means tobe a citizen in this greatcountry of ours.”The principal said the pro-

gram aimed to show the stu-dents how to participate intheir communities in a posi-tive way and added, “I amproud of the students atRULH Middle School.”He urged all the students to

do what they can to maketheir communities better.Seven seventh-graders

then led their listeners in thePledge of Allegiance to theAmerican Flag after a ColorGuard had brought that Flagand also the U.S. MarineCorps Flag forward.The Color Guard was from

the U.S. Marine Corps-affili-ated Junior Reserve Officers'Training Corps Program atRULH High School inRipley, whose cadets allattended the assembly.Lt. Col. Rick Klinker, their

senior Marine instructor,talked briefly about thePledge of Allegiance's histo-ry and how the words “theFlag of the United States ofAmerica” were added in1923 and “under God” wereadded in 1954.He mentioned proper

Pledge of Allegiance eti-quette is to stand facing theAmerican Flag with one'sright hand over his or herheart.Teacher Phil Ashcraft then

recognized more than twodozen honored guests whowere attending from all overthe RULH District and out-side there as well.Ashcraft told his listeners

it was important people learnwhat rights they have underthe U.S. Constitution andmentioned how there havebeen too many other timeswhen some people want totake out of the Constitutionsections they don't like.

“Know your Constitution,”Ashcraft urged. “Rememberit applies to everyone.”Several fifth-graders from

Kathy Harding's class talkedbriefly about their thoughtson freedom and asked differ-ent faculty members to standduring their talks.RULH Middle School art

teacher James Gilkison thenplayed the piano and sangElton John's “United WeStand, Divided We Fall” andToby Keith's “AmericanSoldier”.Several fifth-graders, with

no prompting from adults,began waving the small U.S.flags they had been presentedat the start of the assemblywhile they listened to“American Soldier”.Michele Steinman's

eighth-graders stood wherethey were located in thebleachers and recited theU.S. Constitution's Preamble.In what undoubtedly was

one of the most humorousmoments during the assem-bly, seven eighth-gradersrode makeshift “horses” outto a table as if they were rid-ing horses to a meeting dur-ing the AmericanRevolutionary War era, andthey read the Bill of Rights,the first 10 amendments tothe U.S. Constitution.The RULH Middle School

choir and band, directed byMichele VanSickle, sang andplayed the well-known patri-otic song “America”.Kokensparger then talked

about the playing of “Taps”on a bugle as the final saluteto a fallen veteran. He alsosaid military personnel salut-ed a fallen comrade not witha firing squad but with a fir-ing detail that dischargedthree volleys from their guns.VanSickle and teacher

Holli Cain then played“Taps” as those at the assem-bly stood in respect, and a

Moment of Silence followedto conclude the special pro-gram.

John 11:5: “Now Jesus lovedMartha, and her sister, andLazarus.” This verse is speaking ofMartha and her sister Mary andtheir brother Lazarus. Now ladiesand gentlemen, Jesus felt brotherlylove toward this family. They wereclose friends. In John 11:11 whenJesus is speaking He said: “Ourfriend Lazarus sleepeth...” TheBible tells us in Proverbs 18:24:“A man that hath friends mustshew himself friendly: and there isa friend that sticketh closer than abrother.” Martha, Mary, andLazarus had a friend that stickethcloser than a brother. That friendwas Jesus. Now these three areclearly mentioned in this chapteras being the focus of the love ofour Saviour. He had stopped attheir house on different occasions.As we know, Mary and Marthawere as different as night and day;just as a lot of siblings are. Andthat is good because God needspeople with different personalitiesand different talents. If everybodyin the church were carpenters theonly thing that would be done iscarpentry. But leaving that let’slook at one of the differencesbetween Mary and Martha. Lookwith me in Luke chapter 10 begin-ning in verse 38. “Now it came topass, as they went, that he enteredinto a certain village: and a certainwoman named Martha receivedhim into her house. And she had asister called Mary, which also satat Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.But Martha was cumbered aboutmuch serving, and came to him,and said, Lord, dost thou not carethat my sister hath left me to servealone? bid her therefore that shehelp me.” In these verses you canbegin to see just how differentthese sisters were. Verse 41: “AndJesus answered and said unto her,Martha, Martha, thou art carefuland troubled about many things:But one thing is needful: and Maryhath chosen that good part, whichshall not be taken away from her.”Jesus was saying: Martha you aredoing a great job; Martha you arecumbered about many things; butMartha there is one thing which isabsolutely necessary. There aresome things which you can getalong without and some things thatyou can not. Martha, the thingwhich Mary has chosen is that verynecessary thing. Martha was doinga little bit of complaining andapparently she felt like she had alegitimate complaint. She toldJesus that her sister was just settingthere listening to His words whileshe was doing all the work. She

said to tell her to come and help.She was probably wanting every-thing to be just so for her friendJesus and was getting a little frus-trated because she had so much todo. But Jesus said: Martha,Martha, you have to take time inyour life to be holy. I have beenknocking on doors since 1953 andI have met so many people in somany homes that have said to me:Preacher, I do not have time to goto church. I work six days a weekand Sunday is my only day. TheBible says: “Six days shalt thoulabour, and do all thy work: Butthe seventh day is the sabbath ofthe LORD thy God: in it thou shaltnot do any work...” He said nowork on His day! In the OldTestament they served God on thelast day of the week. In the NewTestament we are to serve God onthe first day of the week. After thatthe rest is yours. It is still six to oneno matter how you slice it. Whenpeople say that it is their only day,what they are doing is claimingGod’s day for their own. If theywant to steal God’s day that is upto them. But let me tell you some-thing; when they meet God, andthey will, they will find out who isright about this business of doingtheir work on their own time, notGod’s! And furthermore, I will notbe ashamed to stand there whenthey ask Him! In Malachi 3:8 itstates: “Will a man rob God? yetye have robbed me. But ye say,Wherein have we robbed thee? Intithes and offerings. Ye are cursedwith a curse: for ye have robbedme...” You might say that that istalking about tithes, and it is, butyou can also steal His time. Whenyou are supposed to be working foryour employer, but instead you aregoofing off, you are stealing histime which he is paying you for!When God says it is His day andyou use it for yourself, you arestealing His time. It is absolutelynecessary to take time to be holy.Martha was so busy that she hadforgotten that; have you?

Sales tax in Brown Countyto increase on October 1st

two months behind in sales taxreimbursements, that meansthat Brown County can expectthree, possibly four, paymentsbefore local property taxesarrive in March.Over four payments, the

additional tax revenue will beapproximately two hundredthousand dollars.The increase marks the end

of a process that began elevenmonths ago, when countycommissioners first approvedthe increase on October 28,2009.Commissioners Ralph

Jennings and Bill Geschwindvoted for the increase andCommissioner Margery Paeltzvoted against it.The tax was originally

intended to go into effect onJanuary 1, 2010, raising anadditional five to six hundredthousand dollars throughout

the year.That schedule changed

when a petition drive to putthe tax increase on the ballotwas successful.State law requires that any

tax increases subject to apending vote be suspendedpending the outcome, so theincrease was not put intoplace.Brown County voters nar-

rowly upheld the increase onMay 4, allowing it to takeeffect...but state law inter-vened again.A 65 day waiting period is

required before any new taxescan be collected.That pushed the date to July

8...however the state alsorequires that collections beginon the first day of a quarter.Since the timeline missed

the beginning of the thirdquarter, July 1, by a week, thatpushed the collection date toOctober 1.

Woman arrestedin fatal hit and runReese was driving under suspension

also being held on an out-standing warrant for a theftcharge. The State Highway Patrol

received anonymous tipswhich led them to Reese's res-idence on Colthar Road inBrown County where Reesewas located along with a white1999 Pontiac Montana mini-van, which troopers say shewas operating at the time ofthe crash. According to the highway

patrol, James Trammell, 66, ofInez Avenue, Bethel was west-bound on state Route 125 justeast of Bethel betweenBethel-Tate High School andSt. Mary's Church at about8:14 p.m. when he was struckfrom behind and ejected fromhis Schwinn bicycle. The Clermont County

Coroner declared Trammelldead at the scene and he was

transported to the HamiltonCounty Morgue. Evidence at the scene led

investigators to search for awhite vehicle. According to the state high-

way patrol Trammell waswearing dark clothing and hadno reflectors or lights on hisbicycle. A drug screen forTrammell has been orderedbut not yet completed. State law requires all

cyclists riding after dark tohave flashing lights on thefront and rear of their vehicle. Reese had also been

charged with operating a vehi-cle without a license in UnionTownship in 2004 howeverthe charge was dismissedwhen she pleaded guilty tofailure to stay within markedlanes. The crash remains under

investigation and Reese couldface additional charges.

In today's tough economicclimate, it's difficult forschools to fund travel for stu-dents. But technology canbridge that gap between highschools and higher education.Louis Mays, librarian atSouthern State CommunityCollege, has been using tech-nology to reach out to localhigh school students partici-pating in the college's dualenrollment option whichallows them to earn collegecredit while still in highschool.Such students taking

English composition at ZaneTrace High School in RossCounty communicate regular-ly with Louis using a virtualchat, conference and videoplatform known as Prontofrom the software companyWimba."It's wonderful to know

that the students taking part inthe Southern State programwill be able to access collegeand library resources withoutleaving the confines of theirown school," said LaurelMarion, media specialist atZane Trace. "Louis is able toguide our students throughSouthern State andOhioLINK research databas-es. Individual guidance,through 'Ask a Librarian,' isalso offered through emailand Pronto chat. Our highschool students have valuableexposure to the technologyunlike most incoming collegefreshmen. This will allowthem a successful transitioninto college."

A collaboration betweenSouthern State CommunityCollege, Shawnee StateUniversity, and college-boundseniors at Manchester HighSchool in Adams County, isalso provided virtually usingWimba Classroom. TheManchester students havebeen provided instruction oncollege-level research andusing the INFOhio projectcalculator. "When I firstapproached college librariansin our area, my goal was tofind one important piece ofinformation, that is, to findout what college librarianswant students from my libraryto already know when theyarrive at the college library,"said Ted Gifford, schoollibrarian for Manchester H.S."After consulting Louis at

Southern State, it becameapparent that rather than tak-ing students to the collegelibrary or having him visit ourschool in person, the idealway to have him and othercollege officials talk to mystudents was by using Wimba,a web-based virtual class-room platform provided bySouthern State," he said."This was a big hit with the

students, who were activelyengaged in the conversationswith the presenters and wereexcited by the idea that wewere in Manchester, one pre-senter was working fromhome, and one presenter wasat a high school in Cleveland.It was quite exciting to seetheir reactions," Gifford con-cluded.

Following an eTechConference presentation thatdemonstrated an example ofcollaboration between theschools using this technology,Dawson Little, a senior atManchester, was especiallymoved by the experience. "That was great!" he said.

"Hard to believe that peoplein three places can get togeth-er on the Internet like that.When are we doing thisagain?"Information about prepar-

ing Ohio learners for successas they transition to collegecan be found at this INFOhios i t e :www.infohio.org/PreparingOhioLearners.html. INFOhio isa network supporting school

libraries in Ohio."As more colleges are

teaching dual enrollmentcourses on the home schoolsite, this example of usingtechnology to bridge the gapbetween college-level andhigh school classes will helpthese high school studentsmake a smoother transition tocollege," said Mays. "We arecollaborating through tech-nology with other schools inour area as well."For more information

about transitioning to college,or collaboration between K-12 and higher education, con-tact Mays at (937) 695-0307,ext. 3580, or drop him a lineat [email protected].

The Western Broncosdropped their SouthernBuckeye Conference openerto the New Richmond Lionslast Friday, falling by a scoreof 34-21.“We improved this week

TheLions marched 46 yards innine plays, scoring a touch-down when Nick Hill took apitch right and ran five yards.Zach Ritter made the PAT, giv-ing New Richmond a 7-0 leadwith 6:52 left in the firstframe. The Bronco defenselooked to have the Lionsstopped after three plays, butan offsides against Western onfourth-and-3 kept the drivealive for New Richmond.Western wasted no time in

responding with a score of itsown. After KendalKlinginsmith recovered apooch kick by the Lions, theBroncos began their scoringdrive on their own 44 yardline. The big play came when

Nick Woodyard hit GunnerWoodyard with a 21-yardgain, moving the ball to theNew Richmond 25. After aroughing the passer callagainst the Lions moved theball to the 10 yard line,Woodyard found Brad Rhodesin the corner of the end zonewith a 10-yard strike. Rhodesmade the PAT, tying the scoreat 7-7 with 5:36 left in thefirst.The Lions’ next possession

ended with an interception byKlinginsmith, setting up ashort field for the Broncos atNew Richmond’s 29.The drive stalled, resulting

in a turnover on downs for theBroncos.New Richmond embarked

on an 18-play drive that ateeight minutes and 39 secondsoff the clock. This time theLions punched it in from five-yards away when Hill scoredon a pitch left. Ritter nailedthe PAT, putting the Lions ontop 14-7 with 5:40 left in thehalf.Western’s next try ended

when Nick Woodyard waspicked off by Hill on a shotdown field, giving the ballback to the Lions at their own21 yard line.New Richmond coughed it

up to the Broncos when quar-terback Garrett Myers fum-bled. The ball was recoveredby Western’s Justin Dillingerat the Lions’ 40 yard line.The Broncos quickly capi-

talized, scoring four playslater when Nick Woodyardfound Gunner Woodyard witha 25-yard touchdown pass.Rhodes split the uprights withhis PAT, tying the count at 14-

14 with 1:07 left in the half.The Lions got a nice return

from Hill on the ensuing kick-off as he sprinted 45 yards toWestern’s 25 yard line. Amuffed pitch and an incom-plete pass ended the drive andthe half. The two SBC rivalswent to the locker rooms tiedat 14-14.New Richmond took the

second-half kickoff and begana drive at its own 45. Six playsfrom scrimmage later, Hillwent 11 yards for his thirdtouchdown of the night. Ritteradded the PAT, giving theLions a 21-14 lead with 8:48remaining in the third.Gunner Woodyard returned

the kickoff 19 yards and theBroncos looked poised tostrike back. But after a 28-yard pass from NickWoodyard to Jake Lawsonwas called back, the Westernquarterback fumbled on thenext play. New Richmondrecovered at the Broncos’ 18yard line.The Lions twice fumbled on

their possession, but twicethey recovered. Myers hitNick Williams with a six-yardtouchdown pass on third-and-goal. Ritter made the extrapoint, giving New Richmonda 28-14 edge with 5:35 left inthe third quarter.The Broncos benefitted

from a personal foul callagainst the Lions on the kick-off, starting their drive at theirown 35. Nine plays later, NickWoodyard connected withRhodes for a 27-yard touch-down. Rhodes made the PAT,pulling the Broncos to withinseven, at 28-21, with 3:41 leftin the third.

The next two NewRichmond drives ended withturnovers on downs, as didone possession for theBroncos.With 5:35 left in the game,

Western had good field posi-tion, starting at its own 40.After a hook-and-ladder playand a 5-yard pass to GunnerWoodyard moved the ball intoLion territory, NickWoodyard’s was interceptedand returned to the Broncos’five yard line.Three plays later, Myers

kept it for a seven-yard touch-down run. A bad snap foiledthe PAT, but the Lions grabbeda 34-21 advantage with 3:29remaining.Western put together three

nice pass plays, moving theball to the New Richmond 24.But Nick Woodyard waspicked off near the goal line

with 56 ticks remaining, seal-ing the Broncos’ fate.New Richmond ran two

sneaks and then kneeled onthe ball, preserving the 34-21win.“Our defense played hard

tonight and forced some mis-takes,” said Dreyer. “But wemissed some assignments andsome opportunities. We willget better before next week.”Nick Woodyard finished

with 22 completions good for187 yards. He also ran 11times for 33 yards.Rhodes led the receivers

with eight catches and 80yards. Jake Banfil added sixcatches for 50 yards.The Broncos allowed 256

The Fayetteville LadyRockets downed theLynchburg Lady Mustangs inthe annual “Volley for the

Cure” match held last week atFayetteville High School.“At various times our

defense collapsed,” saidFayetteville coach SharonSheets. “We had to regroupand remind the girls to stay

low and play hard. That’s whatthey did.”The Lady Rockets were on

their game early. Fayettevillecombined a strong servicegame with some nice hitting atthe net, disposing of the Lady

Mustangs in game one by ascore of 25-14.Kathryn Fitzpatrick and

Gabby Valentine led the LadyRockets from behind the serv-ice line. Fitzpatrick madegood on four-straight pointsand Valentine served the finalfive points of the game.Game two saw the Southern

Shelby Sheets went to work ingame three, smashing severalkills and leading the LadyRockets to a 25-16 victory.“It was a terrific night for

hitting,” said Sheets. “Ourdefense got focused and mademany great passes to Emily

(Stahl), who made some won-derful sets.”In the final game of the

match, strong serves were thestory once again. Fitzpatrickhad three aces in the game.Valentine added two and Stahlchipped in one ace.Fayetteville’s net play wasalso good in game four, push-ing the Lady Rockets to a 25-20 win.Fayetteville served up 20

Eastern defeats Fayetteville in Southern Hills League showdownBy Ritchie ButlerThe Brown County Press

After a scoreless first half between theSouthern Hills League’s two leading girls soc-cer teams, the Eastern Lady Warriors scoredtwice in the second stanza, defeating theFayetteville Lady Rockets by a score of 2-0.“Congratulations to Eastern on a good win

in a great game,” said Fayetteville coach JimSchmidt. “We had our chances, but weren’table to convert shots into goals.”Both teams played excellent defense in the

first half. Fayetteville and Eastern each had ahandful of good shots, but were unable to findthe net.The second half started much like the first,

with neither team able to penetrate the oppo-nent’s defense.With 12:20 remaining in the game, the

scoreless tie was broken when Allison Prineknocked in a shot off a chip ahead by MeganSimpson.The Lady Warriors added to their 1-0 lead

two minutes later when Prine scored again,this time on a break away from the left side.Fayetteville went on the attack, firing sev-

eral shots at the goal during the final 10 min-utes.But in the end, it was Eastern taking over the

league lead with a 2-0 win.

Broncos, Russell making strides on and off the gridironBy Ritchie ButlerThe Brown County Press

Too often in football wecare about who won the game,who scored the touchdowns orwho made the most tackles.But sometimes, just playingthe game makes all the differ-ence in the world.For Tyler Russell, having

the opportunity to play foot-ball for the Western Broncosfulfills a lifelong dream.“Football makes me happy

and I really enjoy it,” saidTyler. “I am lucky that thecoaches gave me an opportu-nity. I feel fine about playingand they expect the samethings out of me as theyexpect out of the other play-ers.”Tyler, an 18-year-old senior

at Western, is playing his firstseason as a Bronco. Any play-er’s first season is special, butfor Russell it is even more sobecause he is hearingimpaired. In fact, Russell iscompletely deaf.“I took Tyler to a football

game and we sat in thestands,” said InterventionSpecialist Mark Abbinante.“He didn’t like sitting in thestands that well, but when Itook him on the field it was adifferent story.”

It wasn’t long after, Tylerstarted asking if he could playfootball for Western.After discussing Tyler’s

request with parents, doctors,teachers, coaches and any-body else associated with theissue, Tyler’s lifelong dreamof playing football became areality.“It’s been a collaborative

effort,” said Western Directorof Special Education JennyBohrer. “It’s also good thattwo of our coaches areIntervention Specialists.”Tyler, a defensive lineman,

has really taken to playing thegame. Western’s offensive anddefensive signals are visual,which made it easier for himto pick up on plays. Since it ishis first year, Tyler sees actionon Saturdays during the juniorvarsity games and dresses forthe varsity team on Fridays.The story doesn’t end with

Tyler being part of the team.Playing with the Broncos hasled to better things for him andfor his school.“We’ve created an interac-

tion between Tyler and the stu-dents in general education,”said Bohrer. “The other stu-dents now know how toapproach him, forming newfriendships.”“Tyler is now advocating

for himself more,” said Deafand Hard of Hearing ItinerantTeacher Kristen Ward. “Thecoaches and players have beengreat. Now, when Tyler walksdown the hall, his friends cansign words to him.”Tyler will also tell you that

he has changed since playingfootball became part of hislife.“I have completely changed

my attitude toward school,”said Tyler. “I taught my team-mates some sign language andthey are my friends. Theyspell words to me and I cancommunicate with them.”Tyler requires an interpreter

and Phyllis Campbell fills that

role for him in the classroomand on the sidelines.“We were blessed that

Phyllis was able to be withhim during the day and atpractices and games,” saidBohrer.“It made his transition to

football easier because he wasalready familiar with the wayPhyllis signed,” added Ward.“He really loves and followsthe game. Now, he teaches usabout football.”The Western administration

and staff couldn’t be morepleased with the results.“I am so proud of the col-

laborative effort we puttogether,” said Bohrer. “The

school and the communityhave been so supportive.”“Tyler’s parents (Tracy and

Ernest Russell) have also beenreally supportive,” said Ward.“They come to all the gamesand bring Tyler’s siblings.”Tyler’s younger brother,

Travis, is a junior at Westernand is also hearing impaired.Soon, it will become easier

for students to communicatewith Tyler. Western HighSchool is now offeringAmerican Sign Language as aforeign language credit andhopes to expand the programto include adult classes.“The response has been

great,” said Bohrer. “When Iasked about offering adultclasses as well, I must havereceived 50 calls. This allstarted because Tyler wantedto play football.”Tyler is currently working

on his senior project for grad-uation. You guessed it, the ori-gin and history of football.“Football makes me

happy,” added Tyler.

G-Men outlast Broncos, 3-2By Ritchie ButlerThe Brown County Press

The Georgetown G-Men traveled 12 milesnorth and outlasted the Western Broncos in anon-league soccer matchup on Tuesday, 3-2.“We are similar teams, both young and

building,” said Georgetown coach BrianDietrick. “We made some changes tonight andit paid off.”“We got off to a slow start, and that was the

difference in the game,” said Western coachKyle Fender. “We’ve gotten better from dayone, we just need to get our goal to shot ratioup.”The G-Men got on the board early when

Kyle Damen knocked in a shot off a reboundwith 37:35 left in the first frame, givingGeorgetown a 1-0 edge.One of the changes mentioned by coach

Dietrick came into play when D.J. Latham,who was moved up front, took a pass fromDamen and converted it into a goal with 32:49remaining in the half.Western cut the lead to 2-1 when Jon Hayes

made a penalty kick with 16:06 to go in the firstafter a handball on Georgetown in the box.The score remained 2-1 at the break, as both

teams defense took over the final 15 minutes ofthe half.“We are starting five first-year players, but

the are beginning to come into their own,”added Dietrick.Nine minutes into the second stanza, Latham

found the net off a rebound, giving him a sec-ond goal and the G-Men a 3-1 advantage.Less than a minute later, Western’s Avery

York scored off an ill-advised back pass by theG-Men, making the score 3-2 in favor ofGeorgetown.Despite every effort by the Broncos in the

final 30 minutes, the Georgetown defense held,preserving the 3-2 win.“Both teams worked hard, as the score indi-

cates,” said Fender. “We outshot them, but wejust couldn’t find the net. If we keep working,the bounces will start to go our way.”Georgetown goalie Zach Hardyman unoffi-

cially finished with 19 saves on the night.“With the type of defense we play, we have

to have an aggressive keeper,” added Dietrick.“Zach made some good decisions and commit-ted to them tonight.”The win lifted Georgetown to 3-8 on the year

while Western fell to 2-8.

In a game that started fast and furious, theGeorgetown Lady G-Men and the WesternLady Broncos settled into a 1-1 tie in a non-league soccer contest on Tuesday.“We started flat,” said Georgetown coach

Mark Pack. “Our defense and goalie took abeating tonight. Western dominated the firsthalf and we were much more aggressive in thesecond.”“I am frustrated with our play tonight,” said

Western coach Anna Howell. “We had the balland the shots and dominated the first half. Butwe were completely stagnant in the secondhalf.”The Lady Broncos wasted no time finding

the net. Just three minutes and 25 seconds intothe game, Allyson Hile took a pass fromCalleigh Olsen and scored from right of thegoal.But for the rest of the half, Western’s kicks

were stopped by Georgetown’s Hannah Jones

in goal or sailed high and wide.The Lady G-Men evened the count with just

over 11 minutes left in the first when JenWorkman got in front of the Western defenseand tapped in a shot.In the second half, time of possession was

close to equal as Georgetown saw some morescoring opportunities and the Lady Broncos gotoff some shots as well.Neither squad was able to find the net over

the final 40 minutes and the Brown Countyrivals played to a 1-1 tie.“We had a couple of good runs in the second

half, but couldn’t get it into the net,” said Pack.“Jen really worked the offense and Madison(Pack) got some things started on the frontline.”“We have some young talent, but we need

some confidence,” said Howell. “We are bat-tling some injuries and maybe the heat got to usa little. I had some girls asking to come out.”With the tie, Georgetown stands at 2-7-2

while Western has an overall mark of 3-4-2.

BY DR. DAN MEAKIN

On a daily basis, I see andtreat obese pets. Obesity existswhen body weight exceeds theoptimum for the individual petby 15 % or more. Obesity is themost common nutritional dis-ease in the dog and cat. It isestimated that as many as 44 %of all dogs and at least 15 % ofall cats are overweight.Overfed pets become over-weight pets, and this is a per-sistent medical issue in veteri-nary medicine. With Americansdiets becoming worse in recenthistory, it’s no surprise thatsimilar feeding habits havecaused our pets to becomeoverweight and obese withtheir owners. Obesity is morecommon with advancing ageand occurs more often infemales than males. It oftenoccurs more frequently inneutered pets.

If you’re not sure what yourpet’s optimum weight is themost practical way of evaluat-ing your pet is to check theamount of fat over his or her ribcage. Place your hands on yourpet’s rib cage with your thumbson his back. If the ribs are eas-ily felt, your pet is consideredto be normal weight. If you canfeel fat between the ribs andskin or the ribs are difficult tofeel, your pet is overweight. Ifthe ribs cannot be felt, your petis obese. In some pets, particu-larly cats, a large abdomen thathangs down or protrudes to thesides, indicates obesity. Yourveterinarian should confirmthis judgment of your pet’sweight status. Your veterinarianwill rule out other medical con-ditions that might look likeobesity, such as hypothy-roidism. It is important to con-firm that your pet is reallyoverweight and not just show-ing signs of heart, kidney, orglandular disease.

The funny things is that noanimals except maybe misbe-having ones, feed themselves –its take an owner to put out thepets food. Because of this wecan control obesity in pets byonly providing them with theirdietary requirements.Overfeeding and lack of exer-cise cause obesity, so control-ling our pet’s caloric intake tomatch its lifestyle can preventit. In particular with cats, leav-ing food out all the time leadsto obesity. Bored animals tend

to graze all day long when inreality they may only need toeat once daily.

Heavy animals are some-times not recognized as carry-ing too many pounds until yourveterinarian points it out. Youmay not notice that your pet isputting on weight on a day-to-day basis, but over a period oftime this can add up.Veterinarians and their staff aretrained to be able to adviseowners of what to feed, howmuch to feed, and how often tomaintain your animals’ idealweight. In this day and agethere are some excellent formu-lated diets available that con-tain all the protein, calories,minerals and vitamins your petneeds for maximum perform-ance or laying around. If yourpet needs to lose weight, con-sult with your veterinarianbefore starting your pet’s newdiet.

Being overweight may causemany problems such as heartdisorders, arthritis, diabetes,some skin diseases, and a lazypet. Obese dogs and cats have ahigher incidence of skeletal andcardiac problems, diabetes,impaired reproductive efficien-

cy and risks associated withanesthesia and surgery. Moststudies in human beings andanimals support the conceptthat obesity shortens life.

Sometimes cutting out all thetreats may be enough, depend-ing on how overweight yourpet is. Some animals are moresusceptible to gaining weightthan others; this includes petsthat have been neutered, olderpets and certain individualswith a genetic tendencytowards obesity. Pets belongingto older people are frequentlyoverfed, as they are the centerof their attention. It is more dif-ficult to achieve weight losswhen the animal has gained theextra pounds. By reducing oreliminating table scraps, moni-toring serving size, andincreasing the amount of exer-cise your pet intakes may helpachieve this goal. With the helpof your veterinarian, make anew years resolution to designa weight loss program for yourpet’s individual needs and shedthose extra pounds.

One aspect of canine care that is the most misunderstood is that of proper nutrition.

• Feeding good quality dog food will enhance your pet'shealth and longevity.• Choose the food that is formulat-ed for your pet’s life stage (puppy,senior, adult) and type (smallbreed, giant breed). Here are sometips to help you choose the bestfood one for your dog:• Read the label. The list of ingredi-ents must be in descending order.This means that the most preva-lent part of the diet is listed first and then followed by eachingredient in order by weight.• Feed the best quality food you can afford. The sayingreally applies to pet food, you get what you pay for.

Pet Nutrition

Check with your veterinarian for theirspecific preference for your dog.
