BYWayne GatesThe Brown County Press

Southwest HealthcareServices and the Brown CountyGeneral Hospital are nowworking together under a man-agement/consulting agreement.Southwest is exploring a

purchase of the hospital andwill be doing research into thatpossibility for the next coupleof months.The hospital Board of

Trustees voted Jan. 14 to rec-ommend to the Brown CountyBoard of Commissioners thatthey approve the proposal topurchase the hospital submittedby Southwest.The commissioners have not

yet acted on that recommenda-tion, with CommissionPresident Ralph Jennings say-ing that commissioners “werestill doing their homework” on

the proposal.Under the consulting agree-

ment, which does not requirecounty commission approval,Southwest Employee JoanPhillips will be working fulltime at BCGH for the next 60days.SHS owner Paul Tuft

describes Phillips as a “turn-around specialist” who hasexperience in improving thefinancial condition of troubledhospitals.Resumes of other SHS

employees who may becomeinvolved in the negotiation orconsulting process have alsobeen submitted to the hospitalboard.BCGH Board of Trustees

Chairman Eric Sontag said thatPhillips will not have any directdecision making authority, butwill make recommendations tothe board.

Sontag also addressed theother submission to the boardby Christ Hospital inCincinnati.“Christ did not make an offer

that would allow the hospital tocontinue to operate in its cur-rent form”, Sontag said.He said the proposal from

Christ involved buying someassets, leasing the doctorsbuilding and making the hospi-tal an “ambulatory only” facili-ty.That would mean that serv-

ices such as surgery, obstetricsand the emergency room wouldbe eliminated.During a Jan. 17 telephone

interview, Tuft said he was“excited about the opportunity”offered by the potential pur-chase of BCGH.“We want to come in and

Accused rapist facing life inprison hears accuser testify

Tincher asks for acquittal, newtrial and limited sentencing


A man facing life in prisonfor rape charges was in BrownCounty Common Pleas CourtJan 19. as his young accuserwas on the witness stand.Dean Price requested a wit-

ness competency hearing forthe girl as preparations for histrial move forward.Price is facing three counts

of rape, two counts of sexualbattery, two counts of grosssexual imposition and threecounts of intimidation.Brown County Prosecutor

Jessica Little told the Press inAugust of 2010 that Price ischarged with intimidationbecause he allegedly told hisvictim that he would harm afamily member of hers if shereported the abuse.In a short hearing, the soft-

spoken girl was brought to thewitness stand and sworn in.Common Pleas Judge Scott

Gusweiler was the first to speakto her, beginning the conversa-tion with general questions

about her favorite subjects inschool school and the weather.Gusweiler then asked her if

she knew the differencebetween the truth and a lie.Brown County Prosecutor

Jessica Little then asked her if itwas wrong to lie and if tellingthe truth was important.Price attorney Katie Kelly

asked similar questions andinquired about the names ofbest friends and former teach-ers.Following the questioning,

the girl was escorted from thecourtroom by her mother.Gusweiler said that based on

the girls demonstration ofmemory and the answers to thequestions asked, she was ruledas competent to be a witnessagainst Price.Little then brought a letter

written by Price to the girlsmother to Gusweilers attention.The letter was in violation of

Gusweilers order that Pricehave no contact with the victimor her family.That prompted a tense

Dallas Tincher is asking foran acquittal or a new trial.Failing that, he is asking JudgeThomas Nurre to sentence himto only one of his three felonyconvictions.In a Memorandum to the

judge, Tincher attorneys GaryRosenhoffer and ChristineTailer attack the case of BrownCounty Prosecuting AttorneyJessica Little.“During the direct examina-

tion of Detective SergeantDonnie Wagner the State elicit-ed testimony that was wholly

extraneous (not relevant) to thecharges against Tincher: that theState routinely paid drug dealersand informants for doing drugdeals and testifying and obtain-ing convictions with such evi-dence.”The Memorandum continues

“that the principal witnessagainst Tincher, JosephHensley, as well as SarahClemens, received money on acommissary account and otherbenefits furnished by either theState or Brown CountyGovernment prior to their testi-mony.”The Memorandum goes on to

say that based on these facts a

mistrial was requested alongwith a jury charge mentioningthe Ohio bribery statute.Both motions were denied by

Nurre.The Memorandum continues

by claiming that elicitingimproper testimony is a basisfor a new trial and is an issue ofprosecutorial misconduct.“There can be little doubt that

the various inducements (mone-tary and otherwise) to Hensleyand Clemens that are set forth inthe record are inappropriate andcreate, at a minimum, theappearance of impropriety”, itcontinues.

Meadow Wood Care Center recognized for receiving 100 on customer satisfactionBy Martha JacobThe Brown County Press

It can be one of the mostdifficult decision a family canmake when forced to chose along-term care facility for aparent or loved one.

But the choice is made alittle easier when familiesobtain a copy of the recentlyreleased 2010 Nursing HomeFamily Satisfaction Survey.

The survey, released by theOhio Department of Aging,rates Ohio nursing homefacilities asking family mem-bers of nursing home resi-dents about the quality of careoffered by the home.

According to the survey,only 16 facilities scored 100on both key survey questions(“Overall, do you like thisfacility?” and “Would yourecommend this facility to afamily member or friend?”

The only Brown Countyfacility to make the list wasMeadow Wood Care Center,61 Stephans Avenue inGeorgetown.

Owner/Administrator of

Meadow Wood, Jack Crout,said he attributes his rating toa caring staff.

“I started working here atMeadow Wood back in1981,” Crout said. “Then in1984 I made the decision tobuy the facility.

“I believe we deserve thisrecognition. Every member ofthe staff here are special peo-ple, they really are. And notjust the nurses, everyone from

housekeeping and laundry tothe kitchen crew.”

While serving in the USNavy, Crout received training

as an EEG Technician, thenworked at Christ Hospitalwhere he was recommendedfor the position of administra-

tor at Meadow Wood.“I never take it for granted

that someone will work outwhen I hire them,” Crout said.“I believe people can betaught a lot of things, but youcan’t teach compassion and acaring personality. You eitherhave it or you don’t. And thevery first time I hear that astaff member isn’t showingtolerance and patience, Idon’t tolerate it.

“These residents live here.This is their home. Some ofthem go long periods of timewithout seeing or talking toanyone from their own fami-lies. We’re their family, we’retheir friend.”

The family satisfaction sur-vey was conducted betweenJune and December 2010 bythe Scripps Gerontology

Center of Miami Universityin Oxford, Ohio, on behalf ofthe Ohio Department ofAging.

Nearly 30,000 familymembers and 931 facilitiesparticipated. Of the 711 par-ticipating facilities with sta-tistically significant results,375 scored above the stateaverage.

Meadow Wood CareCenter is an 86 bed skillednursing and rehabilitationcenter, offering both short-term rehab or long-term care.

“It is our goal to offer ahappy and healthy well-beingplace to live,” added Crout.

Ohio Attorney GeneralMike DeWine announcedtoday that he has been noti-fied that the plaintiffs chal-lenging the constitutionalityof the recently enactedhealthcare law in federalcourt in Florida today fileda motion for leave to amendthe complaint to add Ohioas a party plaintiff in thatcase. DeWine gave authori-ty for that challenge last

Monday, on his first day inoffice.

The motion seeks to addOhio to the states involvedin State of Florida, et al., v.United States Department ofHeath and Human Services,et. al. In addition to Ohio,the motion seeks to addKansas, Wyoming,Wisconsin, Maine, and Iowato the growing number ofstates challenging the law,

potentially bringing thetotal number of states in thecase to 26. In a separatechallenge, by theCommonwealth of Virginia,a federal judge already heldpart of the act unconstitu-tional.

"Simply put, the federalgovernment does not havethe power to force individu-als to buy a product --whether they want it or not -- or face a penalty," saidAttorney General DeWine."I look forward to workingwith Florida and the otherstates to challenge the con-stitutionality of the 'individ-ual mandate' that requiresindividuals to purchasehealth insurance."

The lawsuit challengesthe healthcare law's unrea-sonable burdens on thestates and its unprecedentedclaim of federal power torequire individuals acrossthe country to go into themarketplace and purchasecertain, federally-approvedhealth insurance coverageor face financial penalties.That 'individual mandate'far exceeds the authority ofthe federal legislature underArticle I of the UnitedStates Constitution and isnot authorized by Congress'power "to regulate com-merce … among the severalstates." The complaint asksthe court to declare the actunconstitutional and toenjoin the federal bureau-cracy from enforcing the actagainst Ohio and the otherplaintiff states.

How do you feel about thecurrent healthcare system

locally and across the country?

Letters to the Editor

Local hospital needsyour help to survive

Brown County GeneralHospital is in trouble.

Lower Medicare andMedicaid payments, higheroperating costs and peoplewho just don’t pay at all arethreatening its continuedexistence.

There is one factor that canchange that, however.

You.According to the Ohio

Department of Job andFamily Services, 68.5 percentof hospital visits by BrownCounty residents in 2009were at hospitals outside thecounty.

Seven out of ten.No business can survive

for long when 70 percent ofthe population doesn’t gothere.

Today is payday at the hos-pital as I write this. 353checks are going out as partof the 14 million dollar annu-al payroll. It’s 18 million dol-lars when you count the bene-fits.

That works out to aboutfifty thousand dollars a day.

Do you think some of thatmoney might find its way intothe cash registers of BrownCounty businesses at somepoint?

These 353 people buy andrent homes, pay propertytaxes and shop in local stores.

All of that is in danger ofgoing away if things don’tchange.

Right now, the hospital isin discussions with anotherpotential buyer who hasexpressed an interest in

expanding services at the hos-pital in an effort to bring morepeople through the doors.

Two other buyers havewalked away within the pastyear.

Neither said why, but com-mon sense says they took alook at patient volume versusexpenses and decided to sayno.

Deciding where to seekhealth care is a personalchoice. I would not presumeto tell you where you shouldor should not go to see a doc-tor.

All I’m asking is that youthink about the bigger pictureand give Brown CountyGeneral Hospital an equalchance when you’re makingyour choice.

Price their services andcompare. You might savesome money and not have totravel as far.

If you have concerns, pastor present, call them and getsome answers.

If there is something keep-ing you from wanting to usethe hospital, please write meat [email protected] andtell me what it is.

From this point forward,whether the hospital contin-ues to operate in its currentform is up to you.

Dear Editor,Local news. National news.

International news. The storyis everywhere. It’s about thetragedy that occurred onJanuary 8. A 22-year-old gun-man opened fire on a crowd ofinnocent people in sunnyTucson, Arizona. He “only”killed six victims.

Only six! Who among us,after reading such a headlinewould not be appalled at itsinsensitivity? None, I hope.Yet…I pause and wonder.

The reason for my bewilder-ment stems from a recentGuttmacher Institute studythat announced a spike in U.S.abortions. Reporters rushed tofile their stories. And while

most mainstream media com-municated the data—virtuallynone conveyed the human lossas a tragedy and moral crisis.No empathy. No sorrow. Nogrief.

Instead of reflecting on the1,212,350 unique members ofsociety that you and I willnever know—nor will theyever know us or their par-ents—news media from theWall Street Journal to theWashington Post minimizedthe increase.

With the sensitivity of statsfor a win-loose sports column,the Journal said the increase is“just 1%.” The AP followedsuit with an arcane “slightrise.” Factually, both were

right. But in terms of realhuman casualties a “just 1%”or “slight rise” means that ourbeloved America dug 6,150new graves! (Would youbelieve this abortion spike is1,718 more that all U.S. mili-tary killed in the Iraq war?Would a parent of a son ordaughter be comforted by aheadline that read: “Just oneMarine was killed in Iraqtoday.” No! A thousand times,no. One life, no matter the age,is precious!)

I hope you like stories. I do.Here is a true one. It happenedbefore Roe v. Wade. Writtenby Dr. Charlie W. Starr, thestory first appeared in theDecember 26, 2010 issue ofThe Lookout.

Dr. Starr tells of a young,petite woman. He simplycalled her “Jane,” admittingthat the full details of her lifewere unknown to him, saying,“Please forgive me for usingmy imagination to fill in thegaps.”

He sets the story in 1962,when teenager Jane fell inlove. She and her boyfriendbecame intimate. She gotpregnant, but didn’t realize itfor several weeks because inthose days of yore access to atake-home pregnancy test wasnot available.

Jane was sent by her parentsto Dallas where she could staywith anonymous people whileher belly grew too big for thetruth to be hidden. No doubthometown friends of the fami-

ly would suspect somethingbecause of Jane’s absence.

For months Jane anguishedover her mistake, yet shecould feel the living childmove and grow inside herstomach. During this time ofwaiting she did a lot of wish-ing. Wishing the father hadwanted to marry her. Wishinghe’d at least write her a letteror two. Wishing for someother alternative than this.

But the only alternative wasanonymous adoption, and thatbecame her choice.Arrangements were made.Jane gave birth to a boy onMarch 14, 1963 at St. Paul’sHospital in Dallas. She proba-bly never saw him because hewas taken immediately intothe care of doctors and nurses.Two weeks later he was adopt-ed by a husband and wife whocould not have children bio-logically.

Dr. Starr concludes his storywith this: “If Roe v. Wade hadbeen passed in 1963 Janecould have chosen death forthe baby. I’m glad she didn’thave the alternative becauseshe was my birth mother. Ifshe’d had the option of abor-tion, I’d probably be dead.”

What has happened toAmerica’s empathy for lifesince Roe v. Wade was legal-ized on January 22, 1973?How many of the “just 1%”could have been a Dr. Starr?

Thomas Jefferson oncewrote “life is for the living”.And of course it is.

Yet, dealing with death ispart of life. As an attorney whorepresents families who loseloves ones in tragedy, I witnesspain on a grand scale.

The rituals we have to dealwith death- family gatherings,visitations, funerals and memo-rials are coping mechanismswhich provide little relief. Afriend and client of mine wholost his only son in a trafficaccident by the fault of another,almost punched a preacherwho told him his son was “in abetter place”. Faith and hopehave their place in the healingprocess, but those who lose aloved one prefer to keep them.In the past few weeks, I, likeyou, felt the loss in TucsonArizona. A nine year old girl?I also held in sobbing manlyembrace an old friend whosewife went to the store andnever came back. An autoaccident took the love of hislife.

This past summer on August14, 2010, my wife lost her son,my stepson, Cory.

I’ve spoken about this on theradio. Cory was a passengerwith a seatbelt on in a car witha drunk driver going too fast,when he lost his life.

Yesterday, I received Cory’sautopsy in the mail. I wish Ihad never read it. Have youever read a autopsy of a loved

one? It’s devastating. It’s coldscientific reality for the coro-ner. For me, it was the life ofsomeone who I only rememberfull of life, smiling, laughingand hugging his mother.

My wife’s life will never bethe same. She lost her firstborn son. She sleeps with his t-shirt near her face every night.She breathes him in.

My wife’s continued pain,and reading the autopsy, mademe dwell upon death and com-pelled this column.

I love poetry. Shakespeare,Alexander Pope, Longfellowand many more inspire andsoothe me. Poetry provides anexcuse to write words andphrases which sing. BobbyKennedy claimed Aeschyluswas his favorite poet. He quot-ed him on the night of MartinLuther King’s assassination. Ilove the words: “Even in oursleep, pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon theheart, until, in our own despair,against our will comes wisdomthrough the awful grace ofGod.”

Please read those words overa few times. I know you have

lost. We all have. I feel fortu-nate I still have 81 year oldhealthy parents. Yet, I fear theinevitable. I worry every dayabout tragedy striking my fam-ily again. Cancer? Accident?Illness?

Ponder from birth to old agethe absolutely countless typesof disease, illnesses and acci-dents which can snare us? It’ssobering.

Soldiers give their lives for acause greater than their ownlives. Small comfort to theirloved ones. We have lostPresidents to assassination.

Devastating to our countryand loved ones. Callous menand women like JaredLoughner, terrorists and com-mon murders have stolen lifefrom us. There also is simplytragic misfortune. Childrenlose parents, parents lose chil-dren, spouses lose spouses, sib-lings lose siblings and friendslose friends. Pain which “fallsdrop by drop upon the heart.”

You may ask yourself why Iwrite about such a sombertopic and further ask what ismy point, what is my message.It’s this.

I believe all good advice issimply a reminder of thatwhich we already know isn’tit? You already know the painof loss. You have the fear ofloss.

You know how precious lifeis. How short life is. So whatshould we do in life? Live life.

Protect in word and deed thoseyou love. Honor those youlove. Do not ever allow the sunto go down with anger andhatred towards your lovedones. While living life, livewith purpose. Life is hard. Butthat’s no excuse to not live it.I’m reading Ron Chernow’snew biography “GeorgeWashington”. Washingtonexperienced countless setbacksin his early military career. Hesaw and felt death and disap-pointment. He wrote: “humanaffairs are always checkeredand vicissitudes in this life arerather to be expected than won-dered at.”

Washington lost his father ata young age. Lincoln hismother. Jefferson his fatherand wife. Rather than succumbto despair, they continued tolive life. Much less famoussouls do so too everyday. Wehonor all who lose their life, aswe all do, by how we live.Your life decides your epitaph.

One of my favorite isMalcolm Forbes from ForbesMagazine fame and father ofSteve Forbes: “While living helived.” May God bless andprotect you and your lovedones, my loved ones and maywe each never despair.

water related, bond funds couldbe used for the construction ofthe building,” Kidston toldcouncil.“I guess I’m really playing

catchup here tonight,” Eitelsaid. “I didn’t know anythingabout the construction of a util-ity building.”Kidston said another piece of

Tincher asks for new trial“Tincher suggests that, under

the facts and circumstances ofthe case, he is entitled to ajudgement of acquittal.”In a separate Memorandum

to Nurre, Tincher’s attorneysare making the case thatTincher should only be sen-

tenced on the one count of con-spiracy to commit aggravatedmurder he was convicted on.Tincher was also convicted

on two counts of complicity toaggravated murder.Complicity implies more

active participation than con-spiracy.The Memorandum cites

Ohio case law and reads“Where multiple offenses arecommitted by the same con-duct, the offenses merge for thepurpose of sentencing”.In other words, Tincher’s

attorneys are claiming that

Tincher engaged in only one setof behaviors and the state is try-ing to sentence him two differ-ent ways for the same actions.Tinchers attorneys are claim-

ing that double jeopardy protec-tions apply to Tincher underthese circumstances.Tincher is scheduled to be

sentenced later this week.

Everyone should have fireprevention and response plansin place, but this becomesespecially important for olderadults due to changes thatcome with aging or impairedhealth. According to theNational Fire ProtectionAssociation, adults over 65years old are twice as likely todie in a fire and those over 85are four times more likely.The Area Agency on AgingDistrict 7 encourages the pub-lic to be fire safe and firesmart at all times of the year,but especially during the win-ter season when the use ofheating elements increases. Note the following advice

about fire prevention:• Safe Cooking- Always watch stove top

items and turn off burners ifyou must walk away – evenfor a minute.- Turn handles of pots and

pans toward the back to avoidaccidentally knocking themover.- Avoid loose-fitting and

dangling clothing on yourarms and chest while youcook.- Keep flammable materials

like towels, potholders,papers, etc., away from heat-ing appliances.- Use a timer to remind you

that the oven is in use.- If you do not feel safe

cooking, contact the AreaAgency on Aging toll-free at1-800-582-7277 for moreinformation about home-delivered meals or other mealpreparation assistance.• Safe Electrical Equipment- Unplug small appliances

like toasters and can openersafter each use. - If an appliance appears to

be malfunctioning, have itchecked and repaired beforeusing again. - Be sure that electrical

cords and any extension cordsare in proper working condi-tion.- Be sure outlets are not

overloaded.• Safe Heating- Do not use your oven to

heat your home.- If you use electric space

heaters, be sure the electricalcords are in good conditionand the outlet can handle theload. - Do not share an outlet

used by a heater with anyother device.- Avoid using extension

cords with heaters.- Never leave a heater on

when you are not in the roomor when you go to sleep.Unplug the heater when youare not using it. - Use only the correct fuel

in kerosene heaters to avoidfire or explosion, and be sureto let the heater cool beforerefueling. Store and handlethe fuel safely.- Be sure fireplace flues are

clear and always use a screento deflect sparks.- Never use gasoline or

lighter fluid to start a fire.- Burn only dry, seasoned

wood and dispose of thecooled ashes in a closed metalcontainer outside and awayfrom your home. - Keep combustible materi-

als like blankets and clothingat least three feet away fromany heat sources.• Safe Decorating- The use of candles and

other open flames requiresdirect and constant supervi-

sion.- Keep flammable materials

at least three feet away andextinguish flames before leav-ing a room.- For electrical decorations,

avoid extension cords andoverloading outlets.- Turn off and unplug elec-

trical decorations overnightand when you will not behome.Note the following fire

preparation tips:• Install Smoke Detectors- One on each level of your

home and in all sleepingareas. - Test monthly.- Change the batteries every

six months.• Use Only Deep-Seated

Ashtrays- If you or others in your

home must smoke, keepsmoking materials away fromcombustible materials andwet them before disposing ofthem.- Never smoke while lying

down, tired, or taking medica-tions that cause drowsiness.- Always turn off medical

oxygen while someone in thehouse is smoking, then turn itback on after they have fin-ished.• Develop and Practice a

Fire Evacuation Plan- Identify at least two ways

to get out and review safetysteps like checking closeddoors for heat before opening,using your emergency alertdevice if you have one, andcrawling on the floor belowthe smoke.• If You Require Assistance

Getting Out of the House- Close the door to your

room, stay near a window, andstay on the phone with res-cuers. - Alert your local fire

department prior to a fire thatyou may be unable to evacu-ate without assistance in theevent of a fire – this will keepyou and your rescuers safe. More information about fire

prevention and safety can befound on the State FireMarshal’s website atwww.com.ohio.gov/fire.

BY Faye MahaffeyOSUE Brown CountyMaster Gardener Volunteer

It is exciting to walk to themail box each day and seewhat seed or nursery cataloghas arrived. As I look througheach catalog I have learnedthat I need to have an indexcard handy to jot down “possi-bilities” for my gardens. Afterfinishing the list of interestingitems, I staple the index cardto the front of the catalog. Thissimple task has made it muchsimpler for me to find certainseeds, etc. that I would like toorder.A good friend called me last

week and asked if I wouldcome to her home and walkaround her landscape and giveher some advice. She has com-pleted several inside renova-tions and has declared thisyear the “Garden Year”. Shebubbled with excitement asshe spoke about browsingthrough the seed catalogs thatwere filling her mailbox daily.We made a lunch date inFebruary and before endingour conversation I urged her tomake a list of gardens shehoped to create and then prior-itize the list.I immediately headed to my

office to grab my favorite

Landscape Design book offthe shelf. “Designing YourGardens and Landscapes”written by Janet Macunovich,is a great book for beginnersas well the seasoned gardener.The author explains that shehas written the book for thosewho have wished for a recipe,a process that explains what todo first, second and last todesign a garden. I thought thatI would lead you through theauthor’s 12-Step Plan for thenext several articles. It will bea great reminder to all garden-ers who enjoy the processes ofgrowth and change in a gar-den.Janet Macunovich gave a

presentation at the StateMaster Gardeners Conferencea few years back and I becamean instant fan. She was ener-getic and full of great storiesabout her landscape anddesign business located inMichigan. Her 12-Step Planincludes:• Set Goals• Establish a budget• Think about Maintenance• Assess the Site• Make a Plant List• Choose a Focal Point• Make a Scale Drawing• Place the Focal Point Plant• Frame the Focal Point• Add to the Basic Plan• Outline the Garden• Adjust before PlantingLet’s take a quick look at (1)

Set Goals. Why do you want agarden? Make a list of yourreasons. Where have you seena garden you liked? What didyou like about it? What areyour favorite colors in flow-ers? What flowers, if any, doyou especially like or dislike?Look through magazines thathave pictures of gardens andmake a list of the ones youliked, and why. What kinds ofthings do you do in the yardwhere this garden might go?Make a list of the people thatmay be using the garden. Doyou want to attract wildlife?How much time are you will-ing to spend maintaining yourgarden?Sometimes our reason for a

garden is to cover a defect oran eyesore. Perhaps you havean area that is sloping, or hardto mow. My husband request-

ed a garden on the hillside byour lower drive. Ornamentalgrasses were planted and aftera few challenging years ofmaintenance, the hillside isbeautiful. Each spring we cutthe grasses down, I weed andmulch the area, and we enjoythe view the rest of the year!

Next week we will tackleStep 2 (Establish a Budget),Step 3 (Think aboutMaintenance) and Step 4(Assess the Site).Enjoy the snow and those

catalogs that remind us thatspring is just around the cor-ner!

That prompted a tenseexchange between Gusweilerand Price.“Mr. Price, do you recall my

instructions to you at your bondhearing?”, Gusweiler asked.“No, I don’t”, Price

answered.“You don’t recall when I told

you not to have any contactwith the victim or her family?”,Gusweiler responded.“I don’t you saying I couldn’t

write letters”, Price replied.

At that point, Gusweilersternly reminded Price of hisorder in the bond hearing.“You will abide by my order

not to contact the victim or herfamily. No letters, no phonecalls, no contact”, he said fromthe bench.Gusweiler then ordered that

his instructions to Price be reis-sued and that a copy of them beserved to Price by the BrownCounty Sheriff’s Office.Price is scheduled for trial in

April.

Judges 14 takes place in thetime when the Philistines were incontrol of the nation of Israel.God had told Moses in the bookof Deuteronomy to tell the peopleto go into the land which flowedwith milk and honey. He said thatif they would keep His command-ments He would bless them andmake them a peculiar peopleabove all the people of the earth,for the earth was His. But if theydisobeyed Him and lived wicked-ly and turned to idolatry Hewould put them down. He toldthem that their enemies wouldrule over them. That is exactlywhat happened when they turnedfrom God. Judges 13:1 tells us:“And the children of Israel didevil again in the sight of theLORD; and the LORD deliveredthem into the land of thePhilistines forty years.” TheLORD did not give them just onechance. They turned from Himagain, and again, and again, andagain. And now here they areunder the rule of the Philistines.The forty years are about toexpire and God is going to deliv-er them once more from their ene-mies. He is going to give themanother chance. The angel of theLORD appeared to Manoah andhis wife and told them that shewould have a son. They namedhim Samson; he was their onlychild. He grew strong and theLORD blessed him. In verse 25of chapter 13 it states: “And theSpirit of the LORD began tomove him at times in the camp ofDan between Zorah and Eshtaol.”Then in chapter 14:1-4 it states:“And Samson went down toTimnath, and saw a woman inTimnath of the daughters of thePhilistines. And he came up, andtold his father and his mother, andsaid, I have seen a woman inTimnath of the daughters of thePhilistines: now therefore get herfor me to wife. Then his fatherand his mother said unto him, Isthere never a woman among thedaughters of thy brethren, oramong all my people, that thougoest to take a wife of the uncir-cumcised Philistines? AndSamson said unto his father, Gether for me; for she pleaseth mewell. But his father and his moth-er knew not that it was of theLORD, that he sought an occa-sion against the Philistines: for atthat time the Philistines haddominion over Israel.” This isone of the judges in the days

when the judges ruled and everyman did that which was right intheir own eyes. That is the wholetheme of this book. I suppose theperiod of time that comes theclosest to that time when thejudges ruled in the Old Testamentis right now. In today’s world it isonce again the time when every-one does that which is right intheir own eyes. But in thisinstance, in the book of Judges,God sought an occasion againstthose Philistines. Now this youngfellow, Samson, was an extremist.He was extremely carnal on theone hand and extremely spiritualon the other. He was very carnalwhen it came to women.Therefore, he did not care if thisparticular woman met his fami-ly’s criteria. They did not under-stand him, but they did as hewished. As they traveled down toTimnath, a lion roared againstSamson. The Spirit of the LORDcame mightily upon him and hekilled the lion with his bare handsbut did not tell his mother orfather what he had done. In fact,he told no one about it. Whenthey got to Timnath, Samsontalked to the woman and shepleased him well so the weddingwas arranged. They went backhome and after a time Samsonreturned to Timnath to get mar-ried. However, on his way therehe turned aside to see the carcassof the lion. In the carcass was aswarm of bees and honey. He atesome of the honey and gave someto his parents but did not tell themwhere it came from. Once theygot into town and the weddingwas arranged, a feast was givenfor Samson and thirty young menwho were to be his companions.Samson made the young men adeal.

I guess I must leave off hereand continue this next week.Please do not forget to come backfor the rest of the story. There is alot to be learned from Samson.

NB&T Financial reports earnings for 2010NB&T Financial Group, Inc.

(Nasdaq: NBTF), parent com-pany of The National Bank andTrust Company (“NB&T”),Wilmington, announced highernet income for 2010 of $8.8million, or $2.58 per share,compared to net income of $4.0million, or $1.28 per share, for2009. This increase is primari-ly attributable to the acquisi-tions of Community NationalBank (“CNB”) in December2009 and American NationalBank (“ANB”) in March 2010.The increase in net income overlast year is primarily due to thebargain purchase pre-tax gain ofapproximately $7.6 million inthe Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation (“FDIC”) assistedacquisition of certain of theassets and liabilities of ANB, aswell as a $5.8 million increasein net interest income largelyoffset by a $4.0 million increasein non-interest expenses, and a$3.5 million increase in incometaxes. In addition, NBTF real-ized a pre-tax gain of $1.4 mil-lion on the sale of its insuranceagency subsidiary in January2010. Net income for the fourth

quarter of 2010 was $718,000,or $.20 per share, compared to$1.6 million, or $.49 per share,for the fourth quarter of 2009.NB&T took advantage ofexcess liquidity to prepay a$12.5 million Federal HomeLoan Bank (“FHLB”) advancewith a relatively high interestrate, although such prepaymentresulted in a prepayment penal-ty of approximately $416,000in December 2010. NB&T alsorecognized compensationexpense of $213,000 related tothe early allocation of theremaining shares in NBTF’semployee stock ownership planin December 2010. In addition,a bargain purchase gain of $1.8million from the CNB acquisi-tion was recognized in thefourth quarter of 2009.Net interest income was

$24.3 million for 2010, com-pared to $18.4 million for 2009.Net interest margin increased to3.83% for 2010, compared to3.70% for last year. The netinterest margin increased pri-marily due to two factors. First,average loans outstanding for2010, which had an average rateof 6.25%, increased $87.4 mil-

lion, largely a result of the CNBand ANB acquisitions. Second,the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined from1.79% in 2009 to 1.40% in2010 on increased averagedeposits of $134.1 million. Dueto increased liquidity, NB&Twas able to lower rates on non-transaction accounts over thelast year. Net interest incomewas $6.0 million for the fourthquarter of 2010, compared to$4.6 million for the same quar-ter in 2009. Average earningassets for the fourth quarter of2010 were $704.9 million, com-pared to $564.9 million for thefourth quarter of 2009. Netinterest margin increased from3.53% for the fourth quarter of2009 to 3.69% for the fourthquarter of 2010.On Dec.14, 2010 the Board

of Directors declared a dividendof $0.30 per share, payableJanuary 24, 2011 to sharehold-ers of record on December 31,2010. This dividend representsa 3.4% increase over the $0.29per share dividend declared ineach of the previous elevenquarters.

help buy school supplies forunderprivileged kids, or fly atroop of girls from Cincinnati,Harrison or Middletown toWashington, D.C. When you buy Girl Scout

cookies, girls decide wherethe money goes. They have

big hearts and big imagina-tions.Beginning Jan. 21, girls in
