Gas skimmers stealing identities BY Wayne Gates Paying at the gas pump is a convenience that many of us take for granted. However, identity thieves have found a way to get your credit or debit card information when you fill your tank. They are called “skimmers”, computer chips inserted in the gas pumps between the credit card scanner outside and the computer chip inside. These skimmers are inserted into the gas pumps by the thieves and then removed later with the information on them. No skimmers have been found in Brown County as of yet. The closest one was found in Loveland earlier this month. They have also been found in northern Kentucky and Hamilton County in areas with higher populations. The Brown County Auditor’s Office recently participated in a statewide sweep for skimmers, with every pump in the county being checked.
There are 35 gas stations in Brown County, with 20 of them offering the pay at the pump option. In Clermont County, there are 93 gas stations where you can pay with your card. Emily Shuemake of Sardinia said her cousin got her identity stolen at a gas pump in northern Kentucky last August. “She in college and her parents still monitor her debit card. They saw a bunch of transactions from random towns and it turns out that she was caught by a skimmer.” Shuemake said that she changed her gas pump habits as a result. “I like to pay with cash now,” she said. Tony Brockman works for the Clermont County Auditor’s Office in the Weights and Measures Division. That office is contracted by Brown County Auditor Jill Hall to perform inspections in Brown County. Part of his job now is to look for skimmers when

Humane Society horses now up for adoption BY Martha B. Jacob The News Democrat The two foster horses which are currently recovering after being taken by the Brown County Humane Society are now ready for adoption, according to Renee Bates with the humane society. “These two sweet horses, Bernie and Precious have come a long, long way to recovery,” Bates said, “And now we are very excited to be able to begin our search to find perfect permanent homes for them. “Please spread the work and tell all your friends and anyone who might be able to take Bernie or Precious.” Bates said that although both the horses still need to gain more weight, both
animals are healthy, happy and eating well. “Bernie and Precious have spent a lot of time with their foster mom Joyce Duhl Luce,” Bates said. “She has done an amazing job bringing both these horses back to health. “Now it's time for them to move to a permanent home so they can become the horses they were always meant to be.” Bernie is a 13 year old 16-hand Bay Thoroughbred. He has an easy going temperament as well as good stall manners. His registered name is Burn One Turn One. He once had a successful career on the racetrack making over $200,000 dollars. He has been trail ridden. Precious is an 8 yr. old

he inspects gas pumps. “I look for two things inside. I check the card reader to make sure there isn’t a second computer chip, and I check the pigtail attached to the card reader to see if there is anything strange,” Brockman said. The goal is to get the second chip between the card reader and the data cable that sends information from the pump to the internet. And how do thieves get into the gas pumps? Brockman said the keys that open the pump can be found for sale on the internet. Brockman said that he hasn’t found any skimmers in the county as of yet. “We did a sweep (Sept. 12) and didn’t find anything. We also participated in a statewide sweep two weeks ago,” he said. Brockman said that new credit and debit cards with imbedded data chips are chip cards are safer to use at the pump.

Democrats meet in G’town BY Wayne Gates About 100 local democrats got together in Georgetown on Sept. 15 for their annual Fall dinner. Local office holders, central committee members and candidates in the November election all attended, along with featured speaker Connie Pillich. Pillich is a former candidate for Ohio State Treasurer in 2014 and also served as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives. She began by expressing her concerns about Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump. “His whole approach is fueled by fear, hate, attacks and lies. He’s got no idea how to approach the complex problems that are facing our nation. He has proved to us time and again that he is dangerous and astonishingly unfit to be President of the United States,” Pillich said. “The choice in this election is clear. There is only one candidate that could possibly do the job of President of the United States. That candidate is Hillary Clinton.” Pillich then challenged those in attendance to get
five more votes each for Clinton and other democrats. Alta and Jim Beasley then spoke on behalf of Ohio Senate Candidate Ted Strickland. “He shares our values. He will be a hard working voice for the men and women of Ohio in the Senate,” said Jim Beasley. Dr. Janet Everhard also spoke, asking those in attendance to support her write-in candidacy for the second district congressional seat. Local candidates then took the podium, beginning with Charlie Carlier, candidate for Ohio Senate District 14. Carlier addressed his concerns with education spending and tax fairness in the Ohio Legislature as well as inaction on the heroin issue. “If you like what’s going on, I suggest you vote for my opponent. If you don’t like what’s going on, I suggest you vote for a change,” Carlier said. Ken McNeely, candidate for Ohio House District 66, also spoke. “I’m a big proponent of public education. I care about our children...I care about the hardworking men and women out there who

are struggling to make their mortgage payments and put their children through school. I will work hard in the state legislature to help those people make a batter life for themselves,” McNeely said. Jim Ferguson, former and current candidate for Brown County Commissioner, questioned the closing of the jail and hospital and said that he could do a better job. “If elected, I intend to advocate better communication and understanding between the partners and resolve problems as they occur, instead of falling back
on panicked short term solutions. The current trend in Brown County has to be broken.” The final speaker of the evening was former Brown County commissioner and current candidate Ralph Jennings. “I consider myself to be a team player, a long term thinker, a consensus builder, one of those folks that can make logical decisions. The only way we will solve our problems is to roll our sleeves up, do the hard work and do it one day at a time,” said Jennings.
New ‘B-Fit Program’ at this year’s fair BY Martha B. Jacob The News Democrat
INDEX
“The chip card only sends out a three digit number. It doesn’t send out the entire 16 digit number when you swipe it,” he said. He added that the three digit number will rotate for additional security. Brockman said one way that pump users can protect themselves is to look for security tape across the access panel on the gas pumps. “We’ve been talking to the stations to get them to put security tape on their pumps. If that security tape is broken, it means that the pump has been tampered with.” Brockman said that most of the skimmer activity is located along Interstates 71 and 75. He advises that anyone with concerns about gas pump security should ask the operator at the store they frequent. He also said that anyone who pays at the pump on a regular basis should check their bank account regularly for suspicious activity.
Laura Wood from the Brown County 4-H Junior Leaders spoke briefly at a Sept. 15 Brown County Chamber of Commerce meeting held at the Brown County Board of Developmental Disabilities office at the fairgrounds in Georgetown. Wood talked about an upcoming event to be offered at this year’s Brown County Fair. “I am a Brown County 4H Junior Leader,” Wood began, “This year I have created something new, called the B-Fit Program. Here’s how it will work, every morning of the fair, at 8 a.m. we will hold a 1-mile walk around the fairgrounds. “We would like to encourage everyone here at this meeting to walk with us. The walk will begin at Rhonemous Hall and you’re
all invited to join us.” Wood said that if participants walk all six days, from Monday to Saturday, their name will be entered into a B-Fit drawing where prizes will be awarded. Two grand prize drawings for a Fitbit Alta will take place. Wood was able to obtain a $500 grant to get her B-Fit Program started this year. The event will also include a daily mental challenge. Themes for the challenges include: • “Memory Monday,” bring a picture of your favorite fair memory • “Thoughtful Tuesday,” bring in your favorite quote on a piece of paper (handwritten or printed) • “Water Wednesday,” bring in an empty water bottle to promote hydration and recycling • “Thoughtful Thursday” you will receive two beads, give one to someone you’re thankful for

Drug Task Force marijuana eradication The Brown County Drug & Major Crimes Task Force (BCDMCTF) has completed three days of marijuana eradication in Brown County. Thanks to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation (BCI), who coordinated the flights, this year’s endeavor has been very successful. I also want to thank all of the agencies that assisted us in this marijuana eradication effort. The BCDMCTF seized
over 800 marijuana plants, valued at over $800,000, along with 31 firearms, and 7 felony cases that will be presented to the Brown County Grand Jury in the next few weeks. Although marijuana is not perceived to be as dangerous as heroin, the BCDMCTF cannot ignore these illegal operations involving a drug that many feel is one of the gateway drugs to more serious substance abuse.

There is no other way to say it, except that big wood is just that, big, and we are building our new home with logs, which are very big pieces of wood. We built our 388 square foot cabin completely by ourselves, even building the windows, doors and much of the furniture. Typical store bought furniture was just too large to fit into the cabin's small corners and under the eaves in the loft. Life in the small space has been wonderful these past ten years. I have felt wrapped in a comforting cocoon, and the little house has been a breeze to clean, and easily warms up on cold winter days. The 930 square foot log home we are building just across the gravel driveway seems so luxuriously spacious by comparison, though I do wonder about dusting and warmth. It will likely take longer to do my daily sweeping, and no doubt the stove will burn through more wood. I will be sure to let you know. We broke ground on our new home late last summer. We originally envisioned that it might take us a year or so to finish up and move on in, but no. Building with such big pieces of wood is so different than working with typical dimensional lumber. The big wood needs to be planed and sanded and preserved, and once ready it is no easy task to move it about. Greg has often worked alone, but he has learned to work smart with winches and levers so he can maneuver the heavy wood into place. But now I am proud to say that once I apply the sealant to the underside of
the eaves, the entire outside of our new log home will be finished, and we will finally be able to start working on the inside. So today we began to plan how to build the bathrooms and kitchen. It is such a luxury to be our own architect and interior designer. We can move walls and add finishing details as we go. We can decide where to place closets and cupboards based on what looks and feels best. We can even buy the fixtures and move them about until the view through the bathroom window is just perfect. We really can build our dreams. Once the walls for the bathrooms are built, we will stuff colored paper between the square logs to mark the placement of the 12 and 110 volt outlets, again, not only working with codes in mind, but the practicality of knowing what we need and want. Only then will we run the wires, and only once the wires and plumbing are in place, will we be able to stuff insulation between the logs, and then chink the inside of the house. And oh yes, the stairs up to the loft can only be built once the eastern cathedral wall is chinked, and it is the same with the kitchen cabinets. The walls will need to be finished before we can build them. It has certainly been an adventure, building our own log home, and it continues to be so, but with each task finished, we feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Which brings me to the front porch. It is not only finished, but completely furnished with a new porch swing, two gliding chairs, and a small table and stools for outside dining. At the end of the day we can now sit comfortably, and look out across the creek valley, our dream home at our backs, and in our dreams, most perfectly finished.

It’s all a matter of perspective
THEIR VIEW I was cleaning out the car the other day and found a handful of rocks in my cup holder. And another one in the cup holder in the back. And another one in the side door. I noticed more sitting on the work bench in the garage. My daughter saw me starting to throw them out and said, “Stop! You can’t throw that away! That’s the one I picked up the day you and me picked flowers on our breakfast walk.” Ahh, I remembered then. We were in Wisconsin and had gotten up before everyone else. I grabbed my coffee and she grabbed a bucket, and we walked through the woods and picked flowers and caught frogs. The bucket was full of both by the time we got back. The same day I was cleaning out my car here in Ohio, my mom called from the Wisconsin house where we had been a few weeks earlier. She said she found rocks hidden all over the place. So funny! I guess this was just something my kids did that I hadn’t really noticed before. So I started paying attention and realized that there are rocks all over our home. On top of the picture frame in the doorway. In a bowl on the counter. In the pockets of jeans in the laundry. On top of dressers, and in bags on closet floors. Some of them are sparkly or striped, but most are just plain and gray, and not really a rock you would think someone would want to save. I asked the kids about some of them and

If you don’t, I encourage you to find out. If you’ve never heard the song, ‘Just Fishin’ by Trace Adkins, google it and give it a listen today. It paints a perfect picture of this very thing. Then sit next to someone you love and talk about something funny you did together, or tell them a story about your childhood that they may have never heard before. I didn’t realize how much my kids craved this until my Joshua started asking every night I tucked him into bed for me to tell him a real story about me or my parents when we were kids like him. These small little things make such a big difference. We will never regret taking more time with our loved ones, but we might regret the time we wasted looking at our phones or sleeping the day away or passing up invitations to join in. Let’s not be too prideful to let them know their significance in our lives. Remember that old gray rock? My kids could have passed it by and it would have laid there for many years, fairly unchanged. But they didn’t. They saw its significance and picked it up and made a memory out of it. They made it beautiful. We can do the same with those we care about. May we all recognize the importance of a special moment while it’s happening. Hold on to it. Memorize it. Retell it. Note its significance in your life. Make it a part of your story. Have a blessed week,.

Heated battle between Ripley, Reading leads to Jays first loss of season BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
The Ripley-UnionLewis-Huntington Blue Jays were back at Blue Jay Stadium in Ripley on the night of Saturday, Sept. 17, playing host to the skilled squad of Reading for a non-league bout. The Jays entered Saturday's game with hopes of remaining unbeaten on the season with five wins, no losses, and three ties, but in what was one of the most heated non-league battles of the season, it was Reading coming away with a narrow 3-2 victory to pin the Jays with their first loss of the season. In what was a gutsy effort by the Jays, they could exit the field while holding their heads high knowing that being able to
compete toe-to-toe with a talented team like Reading goes to show just what this year's RULH varsity boys soccer squad is capable of. “For the most part I'm pleased,” RULH boys soccer coach Kevin Poe following Saturday's game. “They (Reading players) were very good tactically. I think we showed that we have the heart and desire to play. After seeing this game I think we can compete with anyone.” Saturday's game also brought with it a tournament-like atmosphere, which certainly helps the Jays prepare for post-season play. “I think this game definitely helped us prepare for tournament time.

this. So, if nothing else, it gives us a chance to see it and learn how to defend it,” said Poe. It took around eight seconds for the Reading team to score its first goal of the night, a header goal off an excellent assist to leave the Jays facing an early 1-0 deficit. But the determined Ripley team didn't let the Reading goal get them down. With 31:20 remaining in the first half it was senior Dalton Moran firing for the Jays first goal of the night to knot the game at one apiece. The Jays had the opportunity to take the lead with a penalty shot from inside the box near the midway point in the first half, but it was an impressive save by the Reading goalkeeper Nate Stidham that prevented the shot by Ripley senior Laymon Marshall from reach the net. Defenses on both ends of the field prevailed in the final 20 minutes of the first half with some excellent saves by Ripley's sophomore goalie Jaki Royal along with some aggressive defense by Marshall, sophomore Joseph Blum, junior Noah Rowley, junior Josiah Staggs, and senior Scottie Ott to prevent another Reading goal in the first half. With one half in the books, the game was tied at one apiece. Just 33 seconds into the second half, Reading broke the knot with a quick goal to take a 2-1 lead and frustrations started to set in on the Jays. A fight between players broke out with 26:33 to go with fans hollering from outside the
big loss to put the Warriors back at the North Adams' 40-yard line with third down coming up and 20 yards to go. The Green Devil defense would hold the Warrior offense to a turnover on downs, taking over possession at their own 35-yard line. The Green Devils marched to the Warriors' 25-yard line behind some gutsy running by Collin Hesler, but it was another exceptional defensive stand by the Warriors that hold the Devils to fourth down with three yards to go. A tackle by Burbage would cut down the Devils shy of the first down marker, and the Warrior offense returned to the field to start their next drive of the game at their own 25-yard line. The Warrior offense started off strong as they did in the previous drive with Collins completing a pass to Bolington for a 39yard gain to move them near the Green Devils' 35yard line. A seven-yard carry by Burbage moved the Warriors to the North Adams' 28-yard line. From there, an offsides penalty on the Devil defense moved the Warriors five yards closer to pay dirt at the 23-yard line with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter. A 10-yard penalty moved the Warriors back to the North Adams 33yard line with first down and 20 yards to go. After Collins carried for a short gain and a dropped pass

brought up third and 15 to go, the Warriors were able to finish off the drive with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Collins to Gardner. A successful kick for the extra point by Matthew Brown put the Warriors on top 7-0 with less than 10 seconds to go in the first period. The Green Devil offensive responded by capping off a 50-yard drive with a touchdown carry by Collin
Hesler to cut the Warrior lead to 70-6 with 9:38 to go in the second quarter. The Devils were unsuccessful on their two-point conversion attempt that followed the touchdown. That would be the only time the Devils managed to reach the end zone in Friday's contest, and the Warriors continued to See SBFL | 7

Lady Rockets top CCD, fall to CNE Fayetteville volleyball team even at 6-6 BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets stood at an overall record of 6-6 after claiming a victory over Cincinnati Country Day on Sept. 17 and then suffering a loss to the Clermont Northeastern Lady Rockets on Sept. 19. The Fayetteville-Perry volleyball team was on the road for Saturday's match at CCD, winning a match that lasted only three sets. It was Fayetteville winSee RIPLEY | 7 ning set one 25-15 to start

gate. One adult fan made their way through the gate and headed toward the scene of the fight, but a quick response by the RULH athletic staff and the game officials would prevent the situation from escalating any further. After a short break to allow the players' tempers to cool down, play resumed. With the clock closing in on the midway point of the second half, the Jays would tie the game at two as Moran launches a throw-in that hit off a Reading player and found its way into
Thursday, September 22, 2016 the goal. Good positioning by Ripley sophomore Tristan Finn on the throwin by Moran played a role in the Ripley goal. The Jays continued to fire away on the offensive end. With 13:15 left on the clock, a shot by Finn on a solo attack missed just wide of its mark. Just over a minute later, a hard shot by Morgan was saved by the Reading goalie. On the other end of the field, Jaki Royal grabbed save after save while Marshall worked to clear Reading attacks to keep the game knotted at two. A penalty on the Reading goalie would lead to another penalty shot for

the Jays with 2:38 to play. Moran took the penalty shot from outside the box, a hard shot that was saved by Stidham. Following the Stidham save, Reading scored on their next attack to take a 3-2 lead with the clock closing in on the twominute mark. The Jays stood at an overall record of 5-1-3 after Saturday's loss to Reading. The Jays were scheduled to be back in action at Blue Jay Stadium on Tuesday, Sept. 20, playing host to the Fayetteville-Perry Rockets to continue a game in which the Jays trailed 31.

Broncos drop to 1-3 with loss at Jackson BY WADE LINVILLE THE NEWS DEMOCRAT
The Western Brown Broncos dropped to an overall record of 1-3 with a 52-27 loss to Jackson in week four on the gridiron, Sept. 16. It was a game that saw the Broncos tied with Jackson at 21 after the first two quarters of play and Western Brown trailed by only four points (31-27) after the third quarter, but it was a big ending by the homestanding Ironmen that would lead to the Broncos'

improve as the game rolled along until they were completely dominating the gridiron on both sides of the ball with linebacker Kade Houston, defensive end Preston Meranda, and linebacker Tony Brown among the several players to put together outstanding performances on defense; while on the offensive end it was Collins throwing for more than 250 yards and Gardner racking up more than 100 yards receiving with two touchdown receptions. Gardner would lead Warrior receivers in the game on a night where he got the opportunity to take the field as a starting receiver, taking over the position of a starting receiver who was unable to attend the game due to another obligation. Also performing well on the offensive end for the Warriors were rushers Dylan Lainhart and Trevor Stamper. After the Southern Buckeye defense forced a fumble that gave them possession at the North Adams' 34-yard line, carries by Stamper and Lainhart led to the Warriors to their second touchdown of the night. It was Stamper capping off the short Warrior drive,
third loss of the season. Jackson outscored the Broncos 21-0 in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Offensively, the Broncos managed to rack up 364 passing yards, 341 of those coming from junior quarterback Seth Becker who threw for three touchdowns. Becker also had two interceptions. Western Brown junior Wyatt Fischer pulled down two touchdown receptions, taking six passes for 202 receiving yards in the week four loss.
Western Brown junior Carson Eyre hauled in six receptions for 64 receiving yards, while teammate Jacob Daniel pulled down three catches for 49 receiving yards and one touchdown. Junior defensive back Eric Altman has been among the Broncos' top performers on the defensive end so far this season. The Broncos will be searching for their second win of the season as they venture home to face Campbell County at Kibler Stadium/LaRosa's Field on Friday, Sept. 23.
powering in a touchdown to help his team rise to a 13-6 lead. An unsuccessful kick for the extra point would follow. Coming off a 13-6 lead at halftime, the Warriors dominated the second half, outscoring the Devils 26-0 in the final two quarters. A 56-yard touchdown reception by Gardner upped the Warrior lead to 19-6 with 7:44 to go in the third quarter. After a 36-yard reception by Gardner to move the Warriors to the North Adams' seven-yard line, it was Lainhart muscling his way for a seven-yard touchdown to leave the Devils trailing 25-6 with just under three minutes to go in the third quarter. Lightning in the area would cause a delay in the action with under a minute to go in the third period, but when play resumed it was the Warriors sealing the deal by tacking on two more touchdowns. “The offensive line was the difference (from the loss Middletown Christian the week before). The lineman were maintaining their blocks better and our quarterback had twice the amount of time to pass. I'm very proud of the effort by our offensive linemen,” said Tomlin. Among the Warrior linemen stepping up big for the Keg Bowl were Troy Stamper, Jansen McCord,
and Shawn Keeny. Bolington also aided in the Warrior win with some fine receptions as a tight end. “They really brought it together,” Tomlin said of his team's win. The Warriors' defensive players of the game were Houston and Brown, while earning recognition as their offensive players of the game were Collins and Gardner. The Warriors will get their opportunity for revenge in their fourth game of the season Sept. 23, as they take on the West Union Dragons who pinned them with a 30point loss in the season opener at home. The Warriors will be on the road at Freedom Field for their rematch against the Dragons, and Tomlin is expecting his Warriors to display a great deal of improvement since their loss in week one. “I look for our boys to play a lot better this time,” said Tomlin, who is hoping his Warriors are able to even up their season record to 2-2.

set three. The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets found themselves on top once again, as a kill by Lexi Estes gave them a 10-9 advantage. The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets rose to their biggest lead of the set, holding a 17-12 advantage after a kill by Taylor Cornett. But CNE would quickly chip away at the Fayetteville lead, and it was a spike by Kelley that landed for a point to tie the set at 19 apiece. CNE u pped their lead to
23-21, but a kill by Estes cut their lead to just one. A kill by CNE's Erika Gregston left Fayetteville trailing 24-22, but then it was a kill by Fayetteville's Faith Stegbauer that sliced the CNE lead to just one once again. Stegbauer came through with another kill to tie the set at 24 apiece, but it was CNE scoring the next two
points to cap off a 26-24 win in set three and seal a 3-0 match victory. The Fayetteville-Perry Lady Rockets were scheduled to be back in action Tuesday, Sept. 20 in a home match against the Eastern Lady Warriors, and on Sept. 21 they will host the Whiteoak Lady Wildcats for a Southern Hills Athletic Conference contest.

CORNEAL IMPLANT FOR PRESBYOPIA If you’re tired of reaching for your reading glasses, you may be interested in an FDA-approved implanted device that changes the shape of the cornea to improve near vision in those with “presbyopia” (agerelated loss of near vision). The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is a clear device composed of hydrogel material that resembles a miniscule contact lens. It is intended for individuals who have not had cataract surgery and who need to use reading glasses with +1.50 to +2.50 diopters of power, but do not need glasses or contacts for clear distance vision. The device is surgically implanted beneath a corneal flap in the patients’ non-dominant eye, where it provides the cornea with a steeper curve that improves near vision. Could you benefit from
receiving a Raindrop Near Vision Inlay? At KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE, we can help you decide. Our staff is trained to understand your needs and concerns, and we take pride in our work. We’re located at 1937 Old Main St., Suite 1, Old Washington, where we are currently accepting new patients. Regular eye examinations should be part of your overall good health maintenance. Call for an appointment at 606.759.7883 or 800.658.7282. We specialize in "EYE CARE FOR ALL AGES." P.S. In a clinical trial of 373 people implanted with the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay, after two years, 92 percent of patients were able to see with 20/40 vision or better at near distances with the inlay-implanted eye.

Senior Services Gala a success GEORGE ROOKS Howdy folks--Last Friday evening the Senior Services held their Gala at the Receptions at Eastgate. The crowd was big. The Senior Services do so much for the elderly including home meal delivery, homecare, bus rides for doctors appointments and other services. There were several items to be auctioned off and lots of items for the silent auction. My granddaughter won one of the items on the silent auction. My daughter got an entire table for us including her husband, her two daughters and their husbands, me and a lady from Williamsburg. My friend from Williamsburg’s dad and I grew up close to Newtonsville. I have been on the Senior Services Board for several years. It is a privilege for me to be able to be a part of such a successful organization as the Senior Services of Clermont County and I appreciate all the services they do. Last Saturday I had an Owensville Historical
meeting at the museum. The secretary, Edna, said her and several ladies make afgans for Children's Hospital, for sick people and for the poor. There are several folks that do this for hospitals. The Monroe Grange makes pillowcases for the Children's Hospital for cancer patients. When a child came comes back to their bed there is a new pillow case for them. They can take the case home. These little ones need something to bring a smile on their face. If you would like to be a part of doing this, give me a call and join the Grange. The Grange furnishes a Thanksgiving meal for a family and Christmas meals for seniors. The Grange is an agricultural organization so come and join – it is for the entire family. The Bethel Lions Club also furnishes a meal for a family at Thanksgiving and Christmas for seniors in Bethel. We also do a lot with the eyeglasses for school kids and seniors. If you would like to be a member of the Bethel Lions Club give me a call. I was talking to Mike at the Boars Head Bait Shop this morning. The crappie fish-off is this weekend with 10 boats – both days September 17 and 18 starting at 7 AM till 2 PM. The
bass fish-off is this weekend also with 30 boats starting at 7 AM till 2 PM. The bass tournament will have a special fish-off for the folks that fish in the Tuesday evening tournament that have died from cancer. This will be October 2 from 7 AM to 2 PM. Mike said the muskie are biting good so if you go muskie fishing you had better have some extra good fishing tackle. These big fish can sure put up a fight. I was over to the Grants Farm and Greenhouse this morning and they have plenty of mums, gourds, poinsettias, Indian corn, corn stocks, flowering cabbage and flowering kale so stop and get some. I just got back from talking to the seniors at the lodge at the senior citizen place on Jim Sauls Road. There were probably 50 or 60 seniors there. I talked about my early childhood life—how mother traded eggs for groceries and how she canned so much garden vegetables for us to eat and we had almost everything on the farm so we didn't need to buy very much and how dad would trade wheat for flour. Now Moscow is celebrating their birthday of 200 years with a lot of events taking place. They decided to have all this in
one day – I should have written about this but I didn't know about it. I hope to go down after the Kitchen of Hope is completed on Saturday. There is so much going on this fall so keep in touch. There will be different craft shows. One of these will be in Saturday, November 5 at the Ramblin Center in Russellville starting at 9 AM till 3 PM, there will be some good items to buy. On Sunday, September 25, the Nause Family reunion will be held. I will be there hopefully. Jerry grew up in Newtonsville and I grew up above Newtonsville. We have been friends for a lot of years. The PERI Union meeting will be September 21, at 11:30 AM at the Batavia Township Hall out of Batavia. This meeting will keep all folks that are retired up on the insurance and what we need to know. As I write this Mr. Chester is sleeping in my chair. He wants to go out after he eats his breakfast then wants in about 8 AM. He takes his naps all morning – he is fine. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praising the good Lord. God bless all . . . More later . . .

Williamsburg answered, Neither team did much marching down the field and scoring on a six-yard touchdown pass from Nate Bogan to Andrew Smith, cutting the Rocket lead to 14-9. The Wildcats failed on the initial two-point conversion attempt, but a pass interference penalty gave them a second chance, and Bogan converted to make it 14-11 Fayetteville with 9:11 left in the third quarter. The teams traded turnovers and punts for most of the third and fourth quarter, until Williamsburg took over on downs at their own 35 with 2:09 remaining and no time outs. A double-pass and a roughing the passer call on Fayetteville put the Wildcats at the Fayetteville 25 with 1:44 remaining.

Fayetteville ran five straight rushing plays to start the game, which resulted in back-to-back punts. Williamsburg's offense wasn't much better, as injuries have taken their toll on the Wildcats. They scored a combined 83 points in their first two games this season, but have mustered just 21 in the two since. They would strike first against the Rockets, as Cameron Hart would connect on a 29-yard field goal with 5:35 left in the first quarter. The lead would last for exactly one quarter. Fayetteville's Chase Jester broke several Williamsburg tackles on an 80-yard sprint to the end zone. The Rockets extra point was blocked, giving them a 6-3 lead at the 5:47 mark of the second quarter.
timely receptions moved them to the Williamsburg 14, where they had two shots at the end zone. The first pass by Luke Wiederhold was incomplete and the second was intercepted by Adam Donohoo as time expired. Fayetteville head coach Kevin Finch said the Rockets played as well as they could, and said there were a few things his team did that he liked. “Our kids played their hearts out,” Finch said. “It was back and forth. I feel for our kids, they really laid it out on this field. We had a couple breaks not go our way, but that's football. Other than that, I thought we did some things very well. We moved the ball, controlled the clock. Those are the things we like to do.” Williamsburg held the ball for just over 13 minutes of the 48-minute contest. In that time they gained a total of 274 yards, 186 of which came through the air. Head coach Scott Lefker said the team is dealing with injuries at key spots on the offensive line, which could be hindering the team's offense. “We've got a lot of kids hurt” Lefker said. “We started a freshman at a guard, a freshman at a tackle. We started a center that has never played center or varsity before. We're hurting up front. They're learning, and they'll get better. But right now, we're young, we're beat up, and we're hanging on.” Williamsburg had scored 83 combined points in the first two weeks of the season. The Wildcats have totaled 21 in the two weeks since. Finch said the team made a few changes to their schemes defensively, but the team's week of practice had the greatest impact on their success on defense. “We just tried to switch up a couple different coverages and fronts,” Finch
said. “The players had a great week of practice. It was the best week of practice I've seen since coming to Fayetteville. Every day, they had good reps and the people going against them were challenging them and pushing each other and I think that helped. Even the people that weren't on the first team were pushing and giving better reps. It was a team effort, from the first senior all the way down to the last freshman.” Meanwhile, the Rockets themselves were in the midst of a solid run offensively, having put up at least 30 points in back-toback games. Lefker said the team prepared to defend the run while acknowledging the squad faced a size disadvantage. “We tried to put everybody in the box” Lefker said. “They invite 11 guys in. We wanted to respect them a bit on the outside, but we put eight, nine players in the box and banged all night long. They were bigger than us, probably a tick faster. Our kids got in there and held tight, sometimes we held on and let them drag us. We were able to get in there and get stops when it counted. I'm glad to get out of here with the win.” Wiederhold finished the game having completed four of eight passes for 23 yards and an interception. Bogan completed 11 of 23 attempts for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also was intercepted once. Smith completed four passes in four attempts for 44 yards for the Wildcats. On the ground, Jester tallied a monster 218 yards on 29 carries and a pair of scores. Austin Brockman carried the ball 20 times for 58 yards for Fayetteville. Bogan led the Wildcats with 18 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown. Smith also collected six receptions for 118 yards
and a score. Nate Fisher and Skylar Minton had sacks for the Rockets defensively. Finch said the team would have to rely on each other to move past the loss. “I couldn't be more proud of their effort,” Finch said. “They break every one of our huddles this year with family, and they'll need to rely on each other as a family today because I know it hurts. To put in that much effort and heart you hate to see a team lose like that. We have great kids with strong character, and they never quit. I couldn't be more proud of them.” Lefker said the Rockets simply wanted the win more than the Wildcats for most of the game, but he was happy to see his team pull out the win. “We had a little bit of heart, and our kids dug deep,” Lefker said. “At the end of the day, it was 'Who wanted it more?' and Fayetteville wanted that game more than us for three and three-quarters of the fourth quarter. In the end, we wanted it more and we pulled it out. It's not surprising the game was like that, Fayetteville's a good team.” The victory puts the Wildcats at 3-1 on the season, despite the rash of injuries. Lefker said the team has gotten used to winning games, and that feeling is what helps them push through tough contests. “Even when we're having down years now, our kids are used to winning” Lefker said. “It's good, and when they lose it hurts. They're not used to that. We just hope that carries us through games like tonight.” The Rockets will host Hillcrest at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept 23. Williamsburg will battle Minford at 7 p.m. at Osborne Field in Williamsburg.
