The smaller, more rural schools enlist team members that do not have that advantage, so to be able to rise to the challenge that the West Union team did, expresses quite an achievement. Too often, we fail to recognize students who devote their time to academics. These young adults have acquired knowledge in many areas that will benefit them the rest of their lives. They also learn to become wise stewards of our natural resources and help protect our environment. Who knows where this experience will lead them?

Attorney Michelle Wickerham Has License Revoked The Ohio Supreme Court recently revoked the license of former Attorney Michelle Wickerham for multiple violations of state attorney discipline rules in her dealings with more than 30 clients.

"Shouldn't Take it Personal" Comment from coach The school official said that they would let me know by May 21 of their decision on this incident. Some members of your community are in a dispute over an incident that happened at a softball game on May 15. It was an away game. What people don't realize is that I, the father of the player involved in the incident, was sitting on the other side of the dugout across from first base and had a clear view of the incident. The other parents were sitting behind home plate and did not have the clear view that I had.Where I was sitting, I was close enough to watch the girls come in and out of the dugout and make their facial expressions. After my daughter misplayed a ball in the field and the inning ended, the girls were coming into the dugout. My daughter was coming into the dugout and a coach approached her and shoved her. I could see the coaches face when he came out of the dugout. It was a face of anger and frustration. The shove was not a playful shove or one to get her attention. It was a full on angry shove. When the coach shoved my daughter, I saw another one of the coaches just drop his head, turn his back and walk away. The next inning my daughter almost made an outstanding play and the coach yelled "now that's what I mean."

My daughter will never play softball for the school again because of this incident. In my opinion the school has given the coaches the okay to do whatever they want to get the attention of the players. This latest incident is not the only time the school has allowed something like this to go on with one of my children. Just imagine being a young child getting sick and vomiting on yourself. Then getting sat out in the hallway by yourself nobody comforting you. The same child was made to strip to look for bruises. One of my daughters was waiting for the bus and a school official called her a "sweet prostitute." Another of my daughters was touched inappropriately by members of a boys sports team. The boys involved were made to watch a movie and run laps. The following is a quote from our player's handbook. "During the season our goal for you is to gain valuable knowledge about the game, build strong friendships, self confidence, work ethic, trust and good long-lasting memories both on and off the field. As of yet nobody has apologized to my daughter or have called to inform us of any action involving the latest incident. MEMORIES Rick Davy Hillsboro

The medals were presented to the men during a Friday ceremony at the congresswoman's Adams County office in Peebles.

Pictured: Congresswoman Jean Schmidt presents medals to Russell Pollitt of Manchester on Friday. Pollitt, 86, earned the medals in the Army during World War II. He was joined by his three sons and other family members. He had asked her help in replacing the medals, which were lost in traveling home after being discharged in 1946. The congresswoman presented him with the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and other commendations at Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester. About three dozen people attended the ceremony in the Manchester Veteran's Park. Last week, some local veterans were awarded medals for their military service by U.S. Representative Jean Schmidt. Schmidt held two ceremonies in the county...one in Peebles and the other in Manchester. Brothers Arthur and Charles Abrams of Peebles joined the Navy on the same day in November 1963. Both men served until late 1967, but on different ships. Arthur served as a fireman and boiler technician on the US.S. Colonial. Charles worked in the aviation department, assigned to the U.S.S. Constellation. BE7IM G= 60E5CK: E> HBE?

Manchester today at Veterans Memorial Park, where 86 year-old Russell Pollitt received numerous medals for his service in World War Two, including the Battle of the Bulge. The Army initially rejected Pollitt when he first tried to join after graduating from Manchester High School because of his poor eyesight. The Army changed its mind. Pollitt lost all of his medals during his travels in the world, except for a tattered Purple Heart. Today, he received a new Purple Heart, along with the Bronze Star. Pollitt's three sons.... Bobby, Timmy and Rusty all live out of town. All three showed up at today's ceremony as an early Father's Day present. Pollitt's 14 year-old great grandson was also on hand. Private First class Pollitt was discharged on July 4th, 1946

A benefit for the family of deceased Manchester Police Chief Bruce Troutman was held at the Manchester Community Building on Saturday, June 9, 2012. The benefit was a success, proving once again that the people of Adams County are generous and loving, looking beyond our own hearths to help friends in need. According to Albert Pike, "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." The organizers of the benefit would like to take this chance to thank the following businesses and individuals who cared so deeply for Chief Troutman and his family. Please help us repay their generosity by giving them your patronage. = " $, 8 /8

Featured Artist of the week - Girl Scout Troop 1694

EDUCATION

Pictured: Thirty-eight students join 907 before them as graduates of the Associate Degree Nursing program at Southern State Community College during a June 7 pinning ceremony.

Since the person I had planned on featuring was not available, I wanted to feature a quilt made by Girl Scout Troop 1694 and donated to a charity event and was sold. It now hangs in a law office in West Union. The troop also made lap quits for some folks int he nursing home. This week is Girl Scout day camp so next week we will feature some art from camp. This quilt top hung in the girl scout booth at the Adams Couty Fair two or three years back. I do hope there are a lot of quilts displayed at the fair this year, as well as a lot of art projects.

Pattern of the Week This week, our block is for the serpent mound. Since this week is celebrating summer soltice at the mound, I decided to feature the block this week. The pre-historic effigy mound is reported to be the largest serpent effigy mound in the world. In the pattern, I have took a little creative license with the exact shape and dimension as we often do in quilting. Again, all of the blocks in The Informer Civil War Quilt Challenge can be pieced or embroidered.

Dear Miss Needles Dear Miss Needles: I have a problem with my thread knotting when hand quilting. Can you help? Sign me: Tied in Knots Dear Tied in Knots: When hand quilting I have also have had problems with my quilt thread knotting. I once was quilting in a hoop and held it upside down to move it and my needle and thread twirled for some time, unwinding. I have read suggestions to try and make sure you use the thread in the direction from which it comes off of the spool, to using shorter pieces.I once tried to coat my thread with candle wax and ended up ruining my ironing board cover. You are to warm the thread and then pull it through the wax to coat it so it doesn't tangle or knot. I have tried using shorter pieces of thread but it means more time

spent threading needles and tying on and off. I even purchased the pre-coated thread. I have read how to pull in the same direction as the stitches, to suggestions of intricicate ways to undo the knots. So I am going to give a shout out to the readers. Does anyone have a good way to keep the thread from knotting up when doing hand quilting? Please send up your suggestions to dearmissneedles@yahoo.com. Dear Miss Needles: I took an old coloring book my daughter had and traced some figures out of it and made a quilt block. Now I want to sell the quilt. Did I violate any copyright laws? Signed, Anita Money Dear Anita: I can not give you legal advice but I do want to point

LITTLE STAr DINEr

out that it is fine to use quilt fabric that has copyrighted images in them. The issue arrises when someone has a copy right to a specific image and design and you use it without permission. Also the level of exact likeness versus abstract use is also a contributing factor. That is why I simply love old quilt patterns! The copyright has expired and you can use them with your artistic license to create your own work of art. Think about Andy Warhol and his paintings of a can of Campbell's Soup. The label is a trademark, yet his painting was a work of art depicting a can and so it did not violate the law. If you have any doubts what so ever, contact an attorney for advice. Do you have a question you would like Miss Needles to answer, please write to her in care of The Informer or email her at dearmissneedles@yahoo.com
