125 Resurfacing is Underway Caution Urged In Work Zones With the 2013 construction season well under way, contractors for the Ohio Department of Transportation are set to begin a resurfacing project on state Route 125 in Adams County. “We have a very active construction program in District 9 this year, and as the orange barrels and cones go up for both construction and maintenance projects, it’s important to remind motorists of the additional need for safety in all work zones,” said ODOT District 9 Deputy Director Vaughn Wilson. Lane restrictions will
go into effect on S.R. 125 beginning Monday, April 22, as crews from the Shelly Company reduce the route to one lane for a resurfacing project between County Road 125A (Lynx Road), approximately 1.6 miles east of S.R. 348, and the AdamsScioto County line. Throughout construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane during daytime, business hours, and traffic will be maintained with the use of flaggers when crews are at work. “The most common causes of crashes are following too closely, failing to yield or control, and speeding,” added Wilson.
“While the department takes great precautions to ensure motorists and workers are safe, motorists can help by exercising good judgment and common sense in the work zone.” The Shelly Company, of Thornville, was awarded a contract in the amount of approximately $1.66 million to resurface the route, and all work is anticipated to be completed by midfall. For additional information on lane and road closures caused by construction, accidents, flooding or other related traffic events throughout the state, visit ODOT on the web at www.Ohgo.com.

Jokes of the week by George There's a new office machine that does the work of two clerks - it goes to the restroom 26 times and makes 48 personal calls in a single day! A lady went to the store to get a chicken. As she was walking through the cooler area to get a three pound chicken all she could find was two and a half pound chickens. She asked the store manager, "Does these chickens get any bigger?" The manager said, 'No, they are dead!" A man said to another man, "Your wife drives likes lightening." Man said, "Yes, she is always striking trees!" George Perry

Time to tackle spring cleaning Has the spring weather motivated you to start your spring cleaning efforts in and around your home? You’re likely not alone as the change from winter to spring motivates many people to clean their home from the inside out, as well as complete other chores that are more enjoyable in the warmer weather. And, with Earth Day (April 22, 2013) right around the corner, many of us can look for environmentally friendly ways to give our home a nice sprucing up. Check your appliances to ensure they are clean and working properly. If any of your appliances are in need of service or repair, call the appropriate person to have them worked on. When appliances are clean and working properly, they will run at peak efficiency, which saves electricity and can save you money in the longrun. Check your refrigerator coil and freezer for lint and dust. Check around your dryer, furnace, and any vents leading to or from them. Remove any lint or dust that is in these areas to keep them running properly. Also, change or clean the filter in your furnace or air purifier. Don’t forget to clean the inside of your refrigerator and freezer! Wipe up spills or dirt left on refrigerator and freezer shelves and door seals using clean, warm water. Check the dates of foods in your refrigerator; discard any expired food. If you are not sure how long something has been there, throw it out. Take a look
inside your cupboards or pantry for any expired or outdated food. Use a compost pile for food scraps, yard trimmings, and other organic waste. You can then use the com-

Dear Miss Needles: Does the color of the knitting needle mean anything? And is it a problem to use 2 different needles with different numbers on them? Signed, MakingDew Dear MakindDew: The colors do not mean anything but the numbers so and they tell you the size of the stitch that you will get. If you do not understand the numbering system, then simply knit a swatch and see if it is the desired size. If not, use larg-
er needles or smaller to get the desired size of stitch. Sizes can range from 0 to fifty, so find a pair you like. Dear Miss Needles: I would like to learn to make my own ceramic beads and want to know about how I can get the right hole size so I can mke necklaces. Is there a special needle I need to purchase? Sign me Jewel Dear Jewel: Years ago I used a roofing nail to make holes big enough for cording and smaller nails for
thread or fishing line. You can use anything from wood skewers to knitting needles to crochet hooks, just remember to make your holes big enough. Good luck and send us pictures of your work. Anyone out there got a better suggestion? Do you have a question or suggestion for Dear Miss Needles? If so write to her in care of The Informer or email her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com

Arbor Day is a National Day honoring trees
and was established on April 8, 1974. Many people celebrate by planting a tree on this special day. Trees are important because they give us fruit, nuts and paper; they shelter animals and absorb carbon dioxide, while providing much needed oxygen. They delight us with their beauty and help the rain fall. Begin (or continue) a family tradition and plant a tree this Arbor Day! Relieving Stress. Stress comes at us in many ways. While there are several ways of managing stress, such as exercise, here are a few other options: * Keep a “feel good” diary. Everyday write down at least one good thing that happened. It could be anything: something funny you heard your child/grandchild say or the sight of a beautiful flower that came up in your garden. Reading it will help you remember there is always a bright side. * Develop a hobby. Portable crafts such as knitting or crocheting can keep you busy while waiting at the doctor’s office. * Rent a special video and watch it by yourself. Tearjerkers are especially good stress relievers. * Go to a park or lake. Rest near calm water. Watch and listen to various wildlife as it can be very soothing. * Write a letter. Write to someone you haven’t seen in a long time. Companionship and fond memories always put you in a good mood and
you never know, the recipient may be feeling blue and hearing from you may be the remedy they need too! Come on out and get involved in some of the activities and services we have going on every month here at the Senior Center. On the 1st Monday & Friday each month the Adams County Veterans Services are here. On the 3rd Monday we have Knitting Class from 1:00pm – 4:00pm.

Politics & Government New Business Filing Figures for March 2013 Senate Should Support Bipartisan Secretary of State Jon Husted today announced that 8,808 new entities filed to do business in Ohio in March 2013. These numbers are down slightly
compared to March 2012, in which 9,204 new entities filed with the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State’s office has assisted with 23,965 new business
Though the most visible role of the Secretary of State is that of chief elections officer, the office is also the first stop for individuals or companies who want to file and start a business in Ohio. While recognizing these numbers can’t provide a complete picture of Ohio’s jobs climate, they are an important indicator of economic activity that Secretary Husted hopes
will add to the discussion of how to improve the state’s overall climate for business.

Legislation to Combat Gun Trafficking Republican Alternative to Leahy-Collins Amendment A “Half-Baked Alternative” Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (DVt.), author of the bipartisan Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act that would make illegal the abusive practice of straw purchasing and trafficking of firearms, said Wednesday that a Republican alternative to his proposal would do nothing to help law enforcement investigate and prosecute these crimes. The Judiciary Committee approved Leahy’s measure, coauthored by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), last month on a bipartisan vote and after the panel held three hearings on the issue of gun violence. Leahy originally introduced legislation to combat gun trafficking in June, and most recently he and Collins announced an agreement with the National Rifle Association on a modified version of the legislation. The Republican alternative, however, was introduced Wednesday morning just hours before the Senate’s scheduled vote and does little to help law enforcement prosecute gun trafficking
and straw purchasing crimes, Leahy said. “The trafficking provisions suggested by the Republican alternative essentially give straw purchasers a road map to avoid prosecution. As long as straw purchasers ask no questions and bury their heads in the sand, they cannot be held accountable,” Leahy said. “The

The amendment is also S e n a t e cosponsored by Sen. President Pro Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Tempore Patrick Kirsten Gillibrand (DLeahy (D-Vt.) N.Y.), Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Sen. Angus King (IMaine).

Senate Vote to Defeat Gun Violence Prevention Legislation The Senate is disappointing to the American people and devastating to the families, friends and loved ones of victims of gun violence across our country. A minority of Senators failed to summon the courage to do what’s right on behalf of the safety and security of our children and families. Their shameful votes prevented commonsense steps to expand background checks and keep
dangerous weapons out of the wrong hands. Their indefensible actions broke

Tobacco Plant Production In case you missed last week’s article, I wanted to remind tobacco plant producers about the list of production practice that recently appeared in the KY Pest News. This is a step by step list of preventative practices for improved plant production. If you missed it and would like a copy, contact me at 937-515-2314 or e-mail me at dugan.46@osu.edu. This is a calendar like list of preventative measures to help grow healthier plants. Grazing Programs The rain that moved through the area last week seemed to put the grass into a bigger gear. Grass seemed to green up and it is finally starting to grow. I have seen some lawns mowed, but for livestock producers we have a bunch of lawnmowers that are still eating hay, so growing grass is a welcome site for those who are running low on hay. In recent years I have discussed the fact that forages are much cheaper feed if you let the livestock do the harvesting. Making hay is not a cheap way to feed. The time involved in cutting, maybe tedding, raking, baling, and moving hay has to be considered, not to mention the cost of fuel, twine or net, and the wear and tear on equipment. There are alternative ways to provide forages. There are crops that can be seeded or planted to extend the grazing opportunities throughout much of the year. Planting crops like rye in the fall will provide an early growth for spring grazing typically earlier than most pastures made up of
clovers and cool season grasses like fescue. Dotson farm. There is no charge, but it is a must that During the summer there are several options to use summer annuals that will you RSVP one of the three OSU Extension provide a large amount of feed.

Liberty Band Bandwagon Makeover
Cuffs & Collars Field reports from ODNR Division of Wildlife Officers Southeast Ohio During the statewide deer gun season, Wildlife Officer Supervisor Bryan Postlethwait and Wildlife Officer Brad St. Clair were contacted by The Wilds located in Muskingum County. The Wilds reported individuals unlawfully hunting in the mountain bike area of their property. Officer Postlethwait arrived at the scene and met with two deputies from the Muskingum County Sheriff’s Department. The deputies had located the suspects’ vehicle and gathered information from an eyewitness who observed an individual shoot a deer near one of the bike paths. Officer St. Clair arrived a short time later to assist with locating the individuals hunting without permission. Officer Postlethwait used an ATV to patrol the area while Officer St. Clair stayed with the suspects’ vehicle. Using information obtained from the Sheriff’s Department, Officer Postlethwait quickly located two individuals hunting in the area. Officer Postlethwait determined one of the individuals had harvested a deer and failed to tag it. Officer Postlethwait also discovered additional individuals hunting on the property unlawfully. At that time, Wildlife Officer Roby Williams and Ranger Randy Wilson from The Wilds were contacted to assist with locating the individuals hunting in the prohibited area. Officer Williams and Officer Postlethwait patrolled the area on ATVs while Officer St. Clair and Ranger Wilson patrolled the area looking for other vehicles. The officers patrolled the WILDS property for nine hours and contacted 13 hunters. A total of 14 citations were issued to 10 individuals for violations including hunting without written permission, failure to immediately tag a deer and failure to permanently check a deer.
A total of three deer were seized as a result of the individuals hunting without written permission. The 10 individuals were all found guilty in the Muskingum County Court and were ordered to pay $1,950 in fines and court costs. The three deer were forfeited to the Division of Wildlife and were donated to Farmers Helping Feed the Hungry (FHFH). One of the individuals was also cited for a violation which occurred during the statewide deer gun season in Monroe County. He was found guilty in the Monroe County Court and was ordered to pay $167 in fines and court costs. Southwest Ohio The week before archery season started, State Wildlife Officer Ryan Garrison received a call about a hunter shooting a deer with a rifle in Mercer County. The caller advised that there appeared to be two people walking and hunting along the St. Marys River. The caller stated that the one hunter started shooting at a deer right before dark. The complainant said he thought they looked for the deer a short while before leaving the area. He gave a description of the vehicle, and Officer Garrison responded to the area. It was dark when he arrived, so Garrison parked along the river. Soon after, a vehicle matching the description drove by his location. Officer Garrison pulled behind the vehicle and made a traffic stop. He requested that the driver, who was dressed in camouflage clothing, exit the vehicle. Officer Garrison asked if there were firearms in the vehicle, and the driver stated
that there were three guns in the back seat. Officer Garrison then requested that the passenger get out of the vehicle. Upon investigation, it was determined that the passenger shot several times at a deer with a .22 rifle, and the two were returning to look for the deer. Officer Garrison seized the rifle as evidence. The shooter was cited for hunting deer in the closed season, and the driver was cited for aiding the shooter. They both were found guilty. The firearm was forfeited to the State of Ohio, and the shooter lost his hunting privileges for one year. The two hunters paid $474.00 in fines and court cost. Northeast Ohio During the 2012-2013 trapping season Lorain County Wildlife Officer Randy White assisted the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office with a Bald Eagle which had been caught in a foot hold trap set near a deer carcass. The eagle was taken to a wildlife rehabilitator and later released back into the wild. The owner of the trap was issued a summons for using exposed flesh baits. The case is pending in Oberlin Municipal Court. NOTICE West Union Village Council will be having a work session on Tuesday, may 7, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at the West Union Municipal Building.

What are the Best Ways to Add Value to YourHome? Which home remodeling projects are the best ones for those looking for a solid return on their investment — and higher profits come selling day? Americans spent over $114 billion on home remodeling in 2009, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Remodeling is expected to outpace new home building in about 10 years. But all home remodeling projects are not equal. Here are some top ways to add value to your home: A Home Office Remodel Home offices are becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity, with more people telecommuting. The number of Americans that work from home is in the millions, and that number has continued to grow every year. With many companies cutting costs and becoming more aware of their carbon footprints, telecommuting has become a viable solution for many in the working world. Making sure that your home has a state-of-the-art space for potential teleworkers is a surefire way to increase your home’s value. Renovate or Add a Family Room. With open floor plans becoming more in demand, a family room is an excellent way to make existing homes more like new construction. Remember, it’s a good idea to keep in mind what homes in your area are like. People like to purchase homes that blend with other homes around them. Chances are you’ll find many of your neighbors are investing in family rooms as well. Replace the Roof. The roof is one of the first impressions people have of a home. Make sure yours passes the test by replacing an old roof. You can also change the character of your home by looking into architecturally styled roofing tiles. Landscape Your Yard. Along the same lines of thinking as the roof, landscaping can give a great – or not so great – first impression. Backyard landscaping can transform ordinary spaces into incredible entertaining areas by including elegant water features and lush plants. Consider your area’s climate. If you live in an
area that receives temperate weather yearround, you’ll find that your new landscaped yard adds value to your home and increases your living space. Replace Old Windows. Thirty percent of a home’s energy is lost through its windows. Replacing old windows with energy-efficient ones signals to home buyers that you really care about the house and it reflects on the quality of the house as a whole. Plus, who doesn’t like to save money on energy bills? Remodel Your Basement. Look at space you already have. Do you have unused space that serves as a black hole for all things without a home? Try remodeling your basement. Remodeled basements can make excellent game rooms or guest suites, adding value to your home without adding space.

Paint, Paint, Paint. Enough said. But remember to hire a professional if you need help and keep the colors neutral if you’re looking to sell. Nothing looks worse than a poorly done paint job in bright fuchsia. Remodel Your Kitchen. Small changes can result in big value. Upgrading appliances, door handles and painting tired walls can add new life to your kitchen, and add value to your home. The general rule when doing a remodel is not to overdo it…unless it’s the kitchen. Kitchens sell a home, and in this case, size does matter. But a kitchen remodel is a long-term investment; you’ll see payback 10 years down the road. And if you are a DIYer, know your limits. Sometimes doing it yourself can save money, but always bring in a professional for the big jobs. Remodel or Add a Bathroom. A bathroom remodel can often mean simply making the most of your current space, by upgrading fixtures, flooring and lighting. Have a little more money in the budget? Adding a bathroom is a great way to increase the value of your home. Is your only bathroom upstairs and not convenient for dinner guests? Often the area under a set of stairs is the perfect place for a powder room.

Enjoy the Great Outdoors This Summer with a Deck or Patio
With National Barbecue Month, Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day all falling in May, there are plenty of reasons to gather together with friends and family to enjoy the great outdoors. A new deck or patio can be the perfect gathering place, adding a new dimension to your yard and creating space that you didn’t even know you had. A wellplanned outdoor living space can become a home owner’s backyard getaway, but the wrong deck or patio can end up as unused dead space. Keep the following in mind and in no time you’ll find yourself enjoying the sunshine from your outdoor retreat. When deciding on whether you’d like your new outdoor haven to be a patio or deck, first do some research. Some areas have building codes or terrains that dictate one or the other. Your local home builder association can be a good source of information. What kind of budget are you looking at? Decks can be a more affordable option than patios, but concrete, while more expensive, tends to be the sturdiest material with the lowest maintenance needs. Several factors can determine whether a deck or patio is best for you. How much weight does your space need to hold? If you are considering a huge Jacuzzi tub, a patio might support its weight better. What about climate? Will the surface become too hot to walk on during summer’s peak? Does rain or snow create runoff problems on a flat patio surface? If you have a
rough backyard terrain, a raised deck may end up your best choice instead of expensive excavation for patios. Through books and magazines, determine what kind of space and design you want. Once you’ve determined whether a deck or patio is best for your home, the possibilities are endless. For home owners on a budget, Tim Taylor, owner of Landscape Creations, suggests a sand and stone or brick patio. Stone, brick and concrete pavers are available in a range of styles and colors and are durable. Remember that site preparation is important for drainage, grade and proper placement, and can be a lot of work for the DIYer. Weeds also can pose more of a problem with patios. When in doubt, leave it to a professional with the experience, not to mention equipment, you need. “Flagstone and concrete patios also are popular among home owners,” Taylor said. “Remember to allow for expansion, however, in order to prevent cracking.” Cracking in concrete is inevitable, but it can be minimized with the proper installation. If you dislike dirt or have pets, consider a raised deck. Remnants from sand and stone patios easily find their ways into clean houses. A raised deck also may work as a better option for low-lying yards that tend to become soggy when it rains. Most decks are made of wood, ranging from pressure-treated pine and fir to more durable—and pricey—
woods such as red cedar, redwoods and tropical hardwoods. No matter what the type, wood decks require maintenance and even then, with less expensive woods, swelling and warping will still occur over time. To reduce the amount of maintenance required, consider composite and vinyl decking. These materials are less susceptible to swelling and also are more resistant to insects. The cost, however, can be significantly higher, particularly if coordinating railing and balustrade systems. Concrete decks, while much more expensive than wood or composite, are the most durable and require only the occasional pressure wash and periodic re-sealing. And no longer just drab grey, concrete is now available in a nearly limitless variety of styles, colors and patterns. Before beginning your outdoor project, assess your space. Where do you have the best sunlight? Do you want to use your space for dining or grilling? If so, do you have a large enough area for tables and chairs? Is there one area of the yard that is quieter and has more privacy from neighbors? A good home builder, remodeler or landscape architect can help you design a master plan that’s right for your space and your ideas. Once your patio or deck is built, only your imagination limits the extent of your retreat. Plants, flowers, trellises, decorative screens, garden sculptures, fountains and furnishings can all enhance your backyard haven.
ASlackers Guide to Spring Home Maintenance
Divert Water Gutters do their job best when clean. Check yours for foliage buildup, particularly if trees hover over the roof. The rainy season is a prime time to ensure all drainage areas remain unblocked by leaves and/or debris. Trapped moisture can leave a house susceptible to moss and mildew and cause major damage to your roof and walls. While you’re at it, make sure the downspout is clean and pointing 2-21/2 feet away from foundation walls. Retain the Roof It’s easy to take for granted the one thing that shields you from the elements. But doing so could cost you unnecessary repair costs. Be diligent about roof maintenance. After the next rainy day, inspect your ceiling for wet spots. Ask a licensed professional to inspect your roof for wear and tear. Keep the Air Fresh With warm, sticky days ahead, do yourself a favor and give your air conditioning unit a little TLC. Not only does it cool you down, but an efficient air conditioner removes moisture and humidity from your home, which in excess, can damage its foundation. So if you aren’t changing air filters monthly, start now. A unit free of dust and dirt runs more efficiently, saving you money on your energy bill. While you’re there, check hose connections for leaks. Make sure the drain pans are draining freely. If you suspect a problem, contact a certified technician. Watch Windows and Doors Investigate all doors and windows for leaks
and drafts, particularly near the corners. Look for peeling and chipping paint, which can signal water intrusion. Seal any open areas between the frame and the wall to keep out water, which can deteriorate building materials. Neglecting these tasks can open up potential for environmental hazards like mold growth, experts say. Take a Peek at the Plumbing Except for a coffee maker, anything dripping in your house is a bad sign. Check for leaking faucets or sweating pipes, clogged drains and faulty water drainage systems. On laundry day, look at the
washing machine hoses for bulges, cracks or dampness. Check under the kitchen sink for leaks, and make note of wetness around the dishwasher. Inspect your water heater for leaks and corrosion. Tackle the Tiles While you’re in spring-cleaning mode, pay attention to worn grout between floor tiles in the bathroom or kitchen. A small crack in the grout or caulk can lead to an expensive repair later. If necessary, re-seal as soon as possible. For the bath, get into the habit of wiping down shower walls and tub after each use to eliminate soap and scum build-up.

Local Sports WCCCU UPWARD Program Devils Slide by Dragons
By Brit, Informer Sports Thursday evening the Dragons headed across county to North Adams High for a baseball match up that drew a nice crowd to watch the two talented teams gohead to head, West Union went to bat and just couldn't get in the swing of things leaving the team scoreless in the first. Finally, the Green Devils Mikey Sheeley was able to get the first run of the night in the first inning giving the home team the lead. Moving into the 2nd the Dragons still hadn't got fired up enough to earn a run and North Adams Austin Copas and Derrick Daulton both made it across home plate even with the efforts of the Dragons Kyle Taylor on the mound pitch-
ing a tough game, North Adams was shut out the rest of the game by the Dragons, unable to score another run. West Union’s Jesse Helterbritle scored the first and only run in the 6th, the Dragons just couldn't get past the North Adams Defense. West Union Coach Inman"After we gave up the first runs we played a good defensive game, we just couldn't score enough runs to get back in it. Our team was hitting the ball, but NA made a lot of good defensive plays. Kyle Taylor pitched a good game." West Union's Wesley Fleshman was 2 for 3 with a double. In the first 2 innings the Dragons gave up 3 unearned, but still lost 3-1.
Lady Dragons Steal the Win By Brit, Informer Sports The Winchester Church of Christ and Christian Union has a wonderful program for young children called "UPWARD" for peewee basketball players and cheerleaders. This past Saturday was their last game of
this season. Their games were all played in Winchester. Congratulations to all the young cheerleaders and future varsity basketball players for another season well done.
Mother Nature puts Teams on Hold By Brit, Informer Sports The Peebles Lady Indians traveled to the Lady Dragon Lair last Tuesday, to hit the ball diamond and give the crowd an entertaining show and hopefully grab a win to take back home. Hayleigh Swayne was on the mound striking out two and throwing the third out at first base. The Lady Dragons brought up three hitters and sat them down just as fast moving the game right along. Swayne caught a line drive back at her
on the mound by hit byDragon's Cierra Barr. Peebles Swayne threw a wild pitch putting it in the dirt making the catcher go back to the fence for the ball with swift McKayla Akers coming in for the steal to home giving the Lady Dragons a run. Mother Nature quickly changed her mind leaving the Umpire no choice, but to suspend the game ending the game with the Lady Indians ahead 3-1.
Lightning Delays Game By Brit, Informer Sports The Dragons were fired up after Mondays win over the Manchester Greyhounds with Caleb Stephenson leading scoring for the Dragons with three runs and Lance Holbrook coming across home plate twice. Trenton Price and Jesse Helterbritle each had a run bringing the Dragons out on top 7-6 to give West Union the home field win. Cole Hensley and Rick Deatley tied with two runs each to lead the Hounds. The Dragons went into Tuesdays game pumped up from the win the night before and Peebles was looking for a win after taking a loss from Eastern a few days before and that equation left the crowd a very entertaining game to watch. West Union jumped ahead taking a 1-0 lead as Pitcher Kyle Taylor led his team striking out one after another. The second inning was 3-up-3-down for the Dragons only for the Indians to do the same. It
seemed like both teams were trying to hurry the game as the black sky kept creeping closer. At the top of the third Dragon's Taylor took the mound ready to start firing away when the umpire called timeout due to Tayors shirt tail hanging out. (It makes a difference if a ball comes at a player and the ball hits the loose shirt causing it to change direction of its original path therefore the umpire will call it every time). Taylor struck out the first batter up bringing PHS Cole Demint hitting an infield single making it on first. #42 Tyler Gray stepped into the batters box popping a infield flyball giving Peeles their second out Brady Johnson took his stance by Kyle Taylor's arm was dead-on striking Johnson out. The Bottom of the third couldnt bring West Union a run when the Umpire spotted the first lightning rod taking both teams to the dugout for 30 minutes, but finally suspended the game to be made up April 25th.

Lady Dragons Hit Big WIN By Brit, Informer Sports The Lady Hounds and Dragon's Rivalry met again at West Union High ready to play ball and worked hard and that's exactly what they done. Manchester's Girls picked up the bat, but got a slow start with their first two hitters, Brook Henley went to the batterbox and with a surprise bunt made it on base getting the Hounds started. Deaney Young hit next getting a single base hit followed by Bret Himes with a base hit and bringing Henley home making that the only run scored in the first. Getting the Lady Dragons Fired up, Ashley Ross came out hitting the ball into right field getting her on first base bringing Nancy Campbell up cranking one in to left field earning her a place on 2nd base and bringing A. Ross across home plate giving Campbell a RBI. Next up came Senior Erin Ross blasting the softball into far left field circling her onto second base and adding a RBI to her stats and pulling West Union ahead where they never looked back. The second inning brought little hope for
Manchester with 3-up-3-down bringing the Lady Dragons back up to bat with players scoring in the second including C. Thornberry, M. Akers, M .Hinton, A. Ross and N. Barr giving the Dragons a 7-1 lead. The Lady Greyhounds Morgan Johnson tried to rally her team in the third hitting one into right field making her way to second base where Bret Himes would eventually hit Johnson in for the run and picking up the RBI. Neither team would score again until the 5th inning with Johnson putting the last run on the score sheet for Manchester. West Union's Kristen Grooms got a late start but went up to bat hitting a long ball into mid-left field hitting a double with Mikayla Akers batting behind her cranking another ball out in mid-field putting her on first base and getting Grooms to third. Akers stole second just as Ashley Ross came up to bat smacking the ball deep into left field bringing Grooms and Akers in giving her 2 more RBI's on the night finishing the game 9-3, adding another win to their record 4 wins 5 loses.
