Remembering 9/11-15 years later Where were you? Readers share their stories BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Where were you? Were you at work? Were you in school? Were you at the grocery or visiting a friend? Chances are you remember with great clarity exactly where you were on that cloudless September morning fifteen years ago when the unthinkable happened. America was attacked. In a deliberate act of war

conducted with chilling precision, terrorists turned four passenger airliners into deadly bombs and delivered death to more than innocent 3,000 Americans. The brazen and devastating attack left us all stunned and shaken, struggling to grasp the full scope of the catastrophe. Through that

long day we watched, shattered and paralyzed, as the world we knew gave way to unspeakable, unimaginable violence and pain. We all remember that September morning. It is burned indeliPhoto by Carisa Kremin bly into the memories of all Americans.

During September, stop by the West Union Library to view a display about the USS Carondelet, a city-class ironclad gunboat constructed for the War Department during the Civil War. The USS Carondelet was the most active of all the Union’s Civil War ironclads, until it was decommissioned and sold in June 1865. It was moored in Gallipolis, Ohio until it was washed away by a flood in 1873. The USS Carondelet came to rest 18 feet below the surface of the Ohio River beside the islands in Manchester, and lay undisturbed for more than 100 years. It was rediscovered in 1982 by popular author Clive Cussler. This month, the West Union Library is featuring historic photos of the USS Carondelet, and a painting and scale model by Richard Barnhouse. On Sept. 19 at 4 p.m., the Peebles Library Book Club will discuss “The Book of Speculation” by Erika Swyler.

West Union People’s Defender

Hello in there, hello George is 83 years old and was admitted to hospice for end stage heart disease. George tenaciously, but barely, clings to his independence, living alone in his, and his deceased wife Lucille’s, home. Lucille’s been gone for over five years now. George says things that most of us aren’t honest enough to say. His perennial prayer is,” Lord, why don’t you just give me a little energy to do a little work?” But in spite of his prayers George continues to grow weaker and sometimes George gets a little mad about it, “If God really cares then why won’t He give me a little energy? Is that too much to ask?” But after blowing off a little steam he says, “But I know he loves me. He told me so. Once I heard him say, ‘George, you know I love you.’” George eagerly shares his commentaries on life. One beautiful summer day as George and I sat in his lawn swing, he commented, “Do you know what frustrates me? People don’t appreciate things anymore. People are like hogs. An acorn can fall from a tree, hit a hog on the head and fall to the ground, and a hog will gobble it up without ever looking up to see where it came from.” I recently visited George and it just happened to be his and Lucille’s wedding anniversary and George shared, “I used to wish I could know that she was in the house again even if only for a few more seconds, but I don’t feel like that anymore. My days are numbered, I can tell it. I know I’m on my way out, but I still want to get out there and see life while I can.” We talked about the peace that comes from recognizing and cooperating with the

stages of life. We reflected on the lyrics of an old hymn: “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim LOREN HARDIN in the STRAIGHT PATHS light of his glory and grace.” I sensed that “the things of earth” were growing “strangely dim” to George. For the first time, he appeared to be coming to grips with his mortality. He seemed to be embracing the final developmental task of life, that of shifting his hope from the physical to the spiritual, from the temporal to the eternal, but surprisingly I had mixed emotions. On one hand I celebrated his spiritual progress, but on the other hand I grieved because I realized that I would eventually be saying goodbye to “ole George.” George’s daughters had apparently also detected the changing seasons. They’ve always provided support while respecting their father’s independence, but the frequency and intensity of their support had increased and the climate had changed. A couple of weeks ago George reflected on what it’s like to grow older: “It’s a rough old world for old people. People don’t help each other anymore, or maybe I just can’t see it because I’m stuck in the house now. I guess they do open the door for you sometimes when you go to the grocery store. I used to like to help people. It made me feel good to do something for somebody.

These puppies need a new home

The lady at Kroger said to me, ‘It seems like people aren’t very interested in you when you get old are they?’ That was nice for someone to say when she really doesn’t know me that well.” Then George added, “And people don’t talk to you when you get old. It’s like we don’t even speak the same language any more and you don’t hear anything good any more. I’m thinking about having the TV cable turned off I watch HLN but every 45 minutes they just rerun the same old news.” George’s commentary reminds me of the lyrics of a song by John Prine titled “Hello in There, Hello”: “We had an apartment in the city; me and Loretta liked living there. Well, it’s been years since the kids had grown; a life of their own left us alone. Ya’ know that old trees just grow stronger and old rivers grow wilder every day. Old people just grow lonesome, waiting for someone to say, ‘Hello in there, hello’. Me and Loretta, we don’t talk much any more; she sits and stares through the back door screen; and all the news just repeats itself like some forgotten dream that we’ve both seen. Someday I’ll go and call up Rudy. We worked together at the factory. But what could I say if he asks ‘What’s new?’; ‘Nothing, what’s with you?’; ‘Nothing much to do’. So if you’re walking down the street sometime; and spot some hollow ancient eyes; please don’t just pass by and stare, as if you didn’t care; say, ‘Hello in there, hello”.

Hey there! I'm Scooby, I'm a one-year old, red Heeler/Hound Mix. I'm a pretty awesome boy, if I do say so myself. The cool fact is part of one my eyes is a light blue and almost looks white. I think it makes me pretty unique, as if my awesome personality didn't do that already. I came in with my brother Remy the Boxer, as well as Scrappy and Scruffy. Like Remy said we weren't in a very good situation at our last home. I was tied up all day and all night for most of my life, and boy am I loving getting to run and play at the shelter. As cool as that is, I really would love to find a new forever home, a pup can't stay at the shelter forever you know.

Flower here or rather, still here. I'm such a cuddle bug and I don't know a stranger. Boy, oh boy do I love to play fetch. I would however prefer to be the only dog in the home and would love a home without small children, they make me pretty nervous. I get along great with older kids above the age of 10 and cats though. I am housebroken, crate trained, and I love to go for car rides. Do you have space in your heart and home for a great girl like me? Please call the Animal Shelter in West Union to learn more about me, or stop in to meet me Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 pm.

Enjoying the Riverfront Gardens of Ripley Ripley, Ohio is a riverfront town with a rich history, and its history is reflected in a wide array of historic buildings and carefully restored private homes. At one time, tobacco was the lifeblood of this hillside town on the banks of the Ohio. Today, with the glory days of tobacco behind it, Ripley has refocused its Tobacco Festival into a broader offering, called the Ohio Rural Heritage Festival. My favorite part of this three-day event, held over Labor Day weekend, was the Ripley Garden Walk organized by Sara Goldsberry. I started my own tour at her residence on Third Street, and visited most of the tour stops before attending the luncheon that capped the Garden Tour program. Ripley is blessed with river views and a plentiful supply of stone, which lends a lot of character to the homes and gardens overlooking the river. There were fifteen homes and gardens open to the public during the tour, and stone walls were a common element in an array of interesting gardens large and small. The walk included several attractive public parks. The largest is the John P. Parker Memorial park at 300 N. Front Street, which was carefully designed to evoke the

history of the Underground Railroad. The site is laced with trails, mounds and plantings symbolizing the many escape routes used by runaway slaves. Smaller but equally attractive is the Front Street Memory Garden, an intimate “vest pocket� park tucked in where a bus garage once stood. I am extremely grateful to Tom and Jane Zachman, who graciously showed me their magnificent mansion and intimate walled garden. This spectacular home has been meticulously restored, with modern enhancements so tastefully executed that they complement original architecture dating back to 1875. Also on Front Street are the Federal style homes of Jerry and Hilda Strange and Don and June Zipperian,

both wonderfully restored. The Zipperian’s home features an ornate Victorian wraparound porch, added in 1897, which Don lovingly restored to its original glory after years of neglect. Both homes have intimate, restful gardens shaded by magnifi-

cent trees. Garden Walk organizer Sara Goldsberry wins my “personal best kitchen window� prize for the way her gardens are oriented to provide a view of ever-changing, eye-level color from her kitchen sink. Sara is busy expanding her garden into the lot next door, so I’m looking forward to seeing it evolve for next year’s Ripley Garden Walk. It’s on my calendar already. Hope to see you there.

Husted announces Statewide Absentee Ballot Application mailing, launches Voter Education Campaign Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted last week announced his office will begin mailing absentee ballot applications to voters statewide. The aim of this initiative is to increase voter engagement ahead of the 2016 Presidential Election in November, as well as to encourage voters to consider casting their ballot early. “Early absentee voting has many benefits. It is convenient for voters for sure, and when voters cast ballots by mail, it reduces the chance of lines at the polls on Election Day,� Secretary Husted said.

Voters need only fill out and return the application at their convenience and their absentee ballot will be mailed to them so they may make their selections at their leisure and return their ballot to the board of elections ahead of Election Day. “One myth we want to dispel is that absentee ballots don’t get counted until after Election Day. The truth is that absentee ballots are the first votes counted on Election Night,� Secretary Husted said. “Voting absentee is easy and convenient – you never stand in a line and

you don’t need to leave home to vote.� The deadline to request an absentee ballot is Nov. 5 at noon (three days before the General Election), but voters can submit their application any time. If mailed, absentee ballots must be postmarked by Nov. 7 in order to be counted. You can also return your absentee ballot in-person to your county board of elections before the close of the polls at 7:30 p.m. on Election Day. Secretary Husted also today announced the launch of the 2016 Voter

Winchester Happenings BY JOYCE PORTER AND FLORENCE BRYSON

The 2016 Winchester Homecoming Festival was held recently and although it was a little toasty, we had good attendance and very excellent entertainment. Our fearless leader, Patsy, who just had a really big birthday, led her hardworking team to make it successful. We had volunteers who helped with organizing, selling tickets (Earl Stephenson was our duck dump king and Kenny Shelton for Split the Pot). Danny and Shirley Naylor helped us clean the stage, set up and stayed to help throughout including tearing down. The rain held off until the end and I think the Shelton and Chandler kids had a great time helping in the rain. There was lots of good food and I know I am 4 or 5 pounds heavier. Our annual Historical Ghost Ride went well except one of Bob Wright’s horses had a foot abscess and was therefore a little under the weather. We appreciate him and Teresa and Gary Geeslin for bringing their horse teams. The storms waited until after we closed the festival but as I site here without electric, will include a few more things next week. If I missed any information, I am without a home phone or internet access. Betty Sautter shared that they had a very excellent Harper Family reunion with 126 attendees including her surviving brother Stan and sister Lucille Hutter. There were 32 first cousins. How incredible to be able to have so many family members get together and like Betty said, she was shocked at the turnout. Also, Paul fell this morning and the last I knew he was heading to the Emergency Department. Keep him and Betty (and of course their family) in your prayers. Allen Pence recently traveled on the Honor Flight to Washington D.C., accompanied by his son Roger. Allen shared that it was a wonderful experience.

Wilma Breeze fell and fractured her hip. She has now been moved to Ohio Valley Manor Room C12. Also Beverly Stephenson is now home. Also, please keep Linda Christman, Diane Call and Tempe Stevens in your prayers. Our community was saddened by the death of another WW II veteran, Earl Jackson, age 95. He was preceded in death by his wife Evelyn. He is survived by his son Earl F (Donna) Jackson; daughters Denise Lore Jackson, Karen Jackson, Lisa Tara Jackson (Jeffrey) Combs; two brothers Wendell and Charles. Winchester’s Past (Florence Bryson): There were three listings for Wheatleys in the 1930 census for Winchester. They were all born in Kentucky. Emma 66 head, Lida 63 sister, Dudley 44 brother. They were listed next door to Jefferson 79 head, Alice 71 wife, Myrtle Gallimore 29 dau. They lived north of the RR on 136. Lulu head 52, Shirley 16 dau were listed on N. Main St. They are all descendants of Josiah and Deborah Suit Wheatley. Josiah was born in 1792 and Deborah in 1794, both in Maryland. They were in Nicholas County, Kentucky by 1826 when their first child was born. Their youngest son Jefferson Allen was born near Blue Lick in 1839. He married Martha Jefferson and they had seven children. Martha died in 1919 and Jefferson and some of his children moved to Winchester. Jefferson died in Winchester in 1926 but was buried in Kentucky. Information is due by Sunday evening and can be sent by calling 937695-9977 (leave a message) or by email @ japorter45697@gmail.com

9/11

“Even though the Italian people were kind, and sad for us, it was scary to be outside the country so far from home.” “We watched as the number of casualties kept rising and family members carrying photos searched for their loved ones,” Kremin added. “We saw New Yorkers praying and building impromptu memorials of candles and flowers around the walls of photographs. While we were in Rome we participated in a candlelight vigil for the victims, walking with thousands of other people through the city toward the ancient Roman Colosseum. We were in Italy four days before we finally got a flight back to London where we spent two days waiting for a flight out of Heathrow. We waited with hundreds of other Americans at the airport. Some of them were returning to friends and loved ones who had survived, others were relatives of the dead. All of us were stranded by the same tragedy. All of us wanted to go home.” “I'll never forget our pilot's words as we neared home: 'We have just entered U.S. air space. It's good to be home ladies and gentlemen, and may God bless the United States of America'. I will never forget that.” Mandy Knechtly, whose fiance, Danny, was a U. S. Marine waiting to be deployed, remembers: “As I watched the tragedy unfold on TV that day, my heart ached for the loss our country was enduring, and I feared what it meant for Danny and me. We knew he would be called up, it was just a matter of time. That call came on the 7th of March. We married two days later, and on the 11th he was gone. Two years later I watched as President Bush declared war on Iraq and US troops began the march toward Baghdad. At that time Danny was still in Kuwait. I hated watching the news, but at the same time I couldn't look away or stop worrying and wondering where he was, if he were safe, and when he would call. “September 11 meant a lot of different things for different people, Knechtly continued. “ Some still suffer the loss of loved ones from that day, and some are still suffering loss as we fight an endless war on terrorism all over the world. Personally, I was able to forge bonds with other military wives and families that I will cherish the rest of my life. My husband is the man and father he is today because of the impact the Marine Corps and his brothers made in his life. I am so thankful he

came home.” Matt Young, currently the principal at North Adams High School, had another personal connection to the attacks on the Pentagon in the nation's capital. “I was teaching sixth grade at the time and terrified,” said Young. “Obviously because our country was just attacked and secondly because my brother Mark worked in the Pentagon at the time. We couldn't make contact with him until the evening. Phone lines were a mess.” This Sunday, September 11 as we remember our own stories, we remember too the men and women and children who died on that fateful day in the Twin Towers, in the Pentagon, on American Flights 77 and 11, and United Flights 175 and 93 which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to wrest control of the plane from the hijackers. We also remember and honor the sacrifice of firefighters, policemen, and EMT personnel on that day, as well as the thousands of brave military men and women who have fought and died in the war on terror that ensued after the 9/11 attack.

From page 1 grade, sitting in History class, staring at the TV in disbelief and with an overwhelming sense that life as we knew it was about to change forever,” Lindsay Cline, Public Safety Communications Manager at UC Health remembers. “I watched all those firefighters, EMTs, and police officers rushing in while everyone else was running out. From that moment I knew I wanted to be in public service. I'm now celebrating my tenth year in EMS.” “I grew up in Adams County, but I lived in Newport on 9/11. I remember seeing the TV and thinking it was a movie. When I realized it wasn't I grew very scared,” Patty RyanFox, a Team Health employee in Knoxville TN recalled. “The first thing I thought of was what if they crashed a plane into the Oak Ridge nuclear plant. I remember calling my sister , who still lives in Adams county. We were both scared. It was the first time it crossed my mind that my family was strung out between Ohio and Tennessee. I thought I may never see them again.” Carisa Kremin, on a business trip for the Honda Corporation when the towers were hit, remembers: “I was flying from London to Turin, Italy. When we landed airport security met us on the tarmac and asked if there were any Americans on board. We said we were and they hurried us off the plane and into the airport where Italian soldiers told us what was happening in the U.S. We were taken to an American hotel in Rome.” “That night CNN was our only connection to home,” Kremin continued. “The news anchors were Italian, so we couldn't understand them, but we began to piece the story together. We watched in horror as they replayed the attacks. We saw the first plane hit and the people on the street looking up in disbelief and confusion. We saw the second plane hit and we knew it was no accident. We watched the smoke billowing from the scars in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Then the towers started to fall and we saw the people closest to Ground Zero running, terrified, their faces covered in white dust.” “We tried to call home, but couldn't get through. There were no cell phones and all of the land lines into the U.S. were tied up. There were no flights. All air traffic in and out of the U.S. was grounded.”

Hughes

From page 1 one of 10 World War II veterans honored in pre-game ceremonies on the field. Besides the nice ovation from the crowd on hand, Hughes received a “Hometown Hero Certificate” for his service from Reds Chief Operating Officer Phil Castellini. The certificate read: “In recognition of your service and with the gratitude of the Cincinnati Reds and Major League Baseball. We are honored to have you represent Reds Country while defending the freedoms of our nation. For that dedicated service and in recognition of your time served in the United States Armed Forces, we are proud to call you a Hometown Hero.” Hughes is a true American hero of World War II, serving in the armed forces from 1941-1945, and spending time on seven different islands in the Pacific, including the brutal battles at Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal. He was awarded the Purple Heart, Silver Star, and Bronze Star for his heroic service. Back home, Hughes is a 70-year member of American Legion Post 633 in Seaman and a charter member of that group. The People's Defender salutes Mr. Hughes for his service to our country.

Lt. Governor Taylor designates September as Life Insurance Awareness Month Losing a loved one is emotionally devastating and can also cause family financial duress if proper planning is overlooked. A recent national study revealed that one in three U.S. households would have difficulty paying living expenses if the primary wage earner died. As part of Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor's "Think Again" insurance initiative to help Ohioans across all age groups be insurance ready, Taylor and Governor John Kasich have designated September as Life Insurance Awareness Month. "The Think Again initiative is empowering family members and friends to talk about and plan for a financially fit and insurance-ready future," said Taylor, also director of the Ohio Department of Insurance. "Life insurance is an important part of that picture and should be carefully evaluated." Life insurance proceeds can help family members pay immediate expenses and future financial obligations. Unfortunately, an estimated 40 percent of the population has not purchased life insurance or

expanded their coverage because they are unsure of what to buy, according to the study. Coverage is often provided by employers, but Ohioans can also purchase life insurance from an agent, who can help determine the right policy for each family situation, Taylor said. Taylor offered these important considerations: • Choose a policy that has benefits that most closely fit your and your family's needs. • Be mindful that it may be costly to cancel coverage during the policy's early years. • Take a long-term look at how premiums may fit your future budgets. • Don't sign an application that has not been completely and accurately filled in and dated. For more information about life insurance such as questions to ask and considerations by life stage for making a purchase, visit www.insurance.ohio.gov or call the Ohio Department of Insurance at 1-800-6861526. You can also contact the department for search assistance if you think you're a beneficiary to a missing life insurance policy or annuity.

Dryden’s Den: Getting ready for the NFL season A Look At The AFC The AFC certainly has a different view in 2016 with the retirement of Peyton Manning and the four week suspension (ridiculous) of Tom Brady. Here are my predictions: East: New England (11-5) – The Patriots will struggle during the first four games without Brady but the schedule from there sets up nicely. Expect a typical New England season. Buffalo (8-8) – Tyrod Taylor and the Bills will have their hands full on the offensive side of the Scott Dryden ball. On Guest

Lady Dragons are 2016 County Cup winners WU also dominates All-County squad BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

After the boys' golf team had their moment in the sun last month, it was time for the girls' teams to grab center stage as the three schools who have girls' programs gathered at the Adams County Country Club on Friday, Sept.2 for the female version of the Adams County Cup. A sunny and quite pleasant afternoon greeted the 22 golfers who took to the course for the Cup competition and the day belonged to the host team, the West Union Lady Dragons as they easily outdistanced North Adams and Peebles to send the trophy on to its spot in the WUHS trophy case.

Though her team didn't fare well in the final standings, Peebles' Savannah McCoy had an excellent afternoon on the course, finishing with a 46, good enough to earn her AllCounty honors. Also on the course for the Lady Indians were Nicole Burns (54), Jessica Newman (58), and Katie Setty (86). For North Adams, the top golfer in the tourney was Caley Grooms, who carded a 49 over the nine hole span. Grooms was followed for the Lady Devils by Caitlin Young (54), Brooklyn Young (61), Erin Newman (68), and Lexie Bunn (77). Besides the West Union girls winning the entire tourney, the top six golfers (because of ties) were named to the 2016 Adams County Cup All-County Team. Those six included Caraway, Clark, Smith, Daniel, and Kersey from the Lady Dragons, plus Peebles' McCoy. The girls' squads in the county now prepare for the two-day Southern Hills Athletic Conference Tournament, which begins on Sept. 16 at Hilltop Golf Course and concludes one week later at Buckeye Hills. West Union will be a heavy favorite to capture that title, as teams will then move on to sectional competition on Sept. 27.

Another rough night for Greyhounds, Notre Dame rolls to big win Titans score early, often on way to 59-0 romp over Manchester

tive extra points in the game to make it 7-0. On their opening possession of the game, the Greyhounds were forced to punt and Notre Dame took over on the Manchester 48 and drove quickly into the red zone, where running back Isiah Johnson fumbled near the goal line and it was recovered by the Hounds for a touchback. A holding penalty put the Greyhounds in a hole when they took over and they were again forced to punt and unfortunately kicked the ball right into Kayser's hands and he proceeded to race 47 yards into the end zone and after the extra point, the Titans led 14-0 with still 6: 55 left in the opening period. When three offensive plays produced a negative 21 yards, the Hounds punted again and one play later it was 21-0 as Kayser took a handoff, cut left, cut right, and went untouched to the house. To add insult to injury, the Hounds fumbled the ball away on their next possession and Notre Dame, after one scoring run was called back by a penalty, got a 13-yard scoring jaunt from Johnson to stretch their lead out to 28-0. Again, the Greyhounds played generous football and fumbled it away and again the Titans capitalized, getting a 16-yard touchdown run around the right end from Ben Mader and with Cassidy's extra point, Notre Dame ended a dominating first quarter with a 35-0 lead. The Greyhounds got a break early in the second

Manchester’s Avery Reed (25) is brought down on a kickoff return in action from FAVORITE SPORT: Football last Friday evening at Spartan Municipal Stadium in Portsmouth.

Hounds

From page 6 stanza when Shaun Gould recovered a Notre Dame fumble, but the Manchester offense did not take advantage, turning the ball over on downs when Marcus Neeley was dropped for a loss on a fourth down play. That gave the Titans the ball at their own 23 and overcoming a pair of holding penalties, drove 77 yards, culminating in an 18-yard run by Johnson that left the Hounds in a 42-0 halftime hole. The rules of the Ohio High School Athletic Association call for a running clock in the second half when a team has a lead of 30 plus points, and that may have been the only thing that could slow down the Notre Dame onslaught. On their only possession of a rapid third period, Cassidy split the uprights on a 43-yard field

goal that made it 45-0 after three. Early in the fourth quarter, and for the second week in a row, the Hounds botched a punt snap deep in their own territory, with the Titans recovering the ball at the Manchester 3 and getting a TD run from Johnson to give his team a 52-0 advantage with 10:25 to play. The scoring for the night concluded with just 1:39 top lay when Johnson scored his fourth rushing touchdown of the game, galloping in from 52 yards away and the clock then mercifully ran out as Notre Dame picked up their first win of the year by the final count of 59-0. The victorious Titans had a pair of 100-yard rushers in the game, Johnson going for 108 on six carries and Kayser getting 120 on seven carries. The Hounds were led by James Arias with 24 yards on eight carries. With a week to practice and regroup, the 0-2

Dragons take JV golf match BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER It was a day for the JV boys golf team to take the course at the Adams County Country Club on Sept. 1 as the West Union Dragons welcomed North Adams and Piketon to the greens. The Dragons were not very gracious hosts as they posted the low team score of the day, combining for 179, compared to 194 for Piketon and 212 for North Adams. Conner Campbell led the way for West Union, shooting a 40 for the nine hole competition, followed closely by Carson McFarland's 42. Andrew Sapp shot 47 for the Dragons, with Bowan Tomlin at 50, Tanner Neil at 57, and Josh Young at

From page 6 in plugger Chris Ivory. The defense has a ton of young talent in Dante Fowler Jr., Jalen Ramsey and Myles Jack. If the defense matures quickly, Jacksonville could make the playoffs. Tennessee (6-10) – The Titans should be able to protect Marcus Mariota much better this season. His weapons have improved which should help his second year progression. Their defense will struggle to keep up in a division with some high powered weapons. West: Kansas City (10-6) – The Chiefs should be a mirror of last season. The biggest challenge is having a pass rush without star Justin Houston who will miss at least six games. The offense will be bland but solid, likely enough to get KC back into the playoffs. Oakland (10-6) – The young Raiders are an up and coming team. Quarterback Derek Carr, wide receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end Khalil Mack are the future – which may turn into the

present in 2016. The Silver and Black will once again “Just Win Baby.” Denver (5-11) – The defending champs suffered major losses – specifically at quarterback. They will go with the unproven Trevor Siemian which will put further pressure on their elite defense. If Siemian can play at an average level, Denver could sneak into the playoffs, if not they could have a tough season. San Diego (7-9) – Phillip Rivers has had a magnificent career. It is winding down quickly. The Bolts have some talent on offense but the oline may again struggle to protect Rivers.

Indianapolis Week One Predictions: The 2016 campaign should be an interesting season to say the least. The race for the ring is wide open. Defending champion Denver has plenty of questions, so much so even making the playoffs may be a stretch. The story lines and drama will be riveting. Let the prognostication begin: TNF: Carolina at Denver – The Panthers get a measure of revenge as their defense and Cam Newton dominate. CAR 33 DEN 20 Tampa Bay at Atlanta – Jameis Winston enters his second season with high hopes. He will play well but the Falcons offense has a huge day. ATL 34 TB 27 Cleveland at Philadelphia – RGIII is once again the starter. In Philly, the starter could be rookie Carson Wentz. These squads could be the two worst in the entire NFL. Someone has to win – a big day for Griffin. CLE 24 PHI 23 Minnesota at Tennessee – The Vikings pushed the panic button in acquiring the much maligned Sam

MIN 23 TEN 16 Cincinnati at New York Jets – Both teams should be in the mix for a playoff berth. This should be a dandy featuring the Bengals o-line vs. a very good Jets defense. In a close one, New York’s D gets the W. NYJ 27 CIN 24 Oakland at New Orleans – This has the makings of a big time shootout. The young Raiders play well but Drew Brees has a monster day. NO 37 OAK 33 San Diego at Kansas City – Arrowhead is always a very difficult place to play. In the season opener, Dee Ford and Tamba Hali hammer Phillip Rivers. KC 23 SD 17 Buffalo at Baltimore – The Ravens look to bounce back from a season marred with injuries. In a physical tightly contested game, Tyrod Taylor and Sammy Watkins make enough plays. BUF 20 BALT 17 Chicago at Houston – The Bears offensive line

Five days later, the West Union girls were back on their home court, battling a solid Eastern Brown Lady Warriors team, and battling them for the entire five sets. After Eastern took the first two sets, the Lady Dragons came roaring back to take the next two, 25-20 and 25-22, setting up the always exciting and decisive fifth set.

IND 34 DET 20 SNF: New England at Arizona – This could have been one heck of a matchup. Instead, the NFL’s ridiculous, agenda driven suspension of Tom Brady puts the Patriots in a very difficult situation. Former Patriot Chandler Jones has a monster game forcing Jimmy Garoppolo into big mistakes. ARI 34 NE 13 MNF: Pittsburgh at Washington – The Steelers are missing some key components but are still very dangerous on the offensive side of the ball. Kirk Cousins should have success finding elite tight end Jordan Reed. This should be a high scoring game with the home team getting the victory. WASH 27 PIT 24 MNF: Los Angeles at San Francisco – The LA Rams are back and very talented. They face a 49ers squad with a dearth of talent – torrent of drama.

West Union fell short in that final set 15-9, but the match was a good performance against a good opponent. Jaycee Baldwin continued her fine play around the net in the loss to Eastern, garnering eight kills, while Kendall Gallowitz added five.

Year 4 of the Mark Stoops era did not start well. Kentucky led Southern Miss 35– 10 late in the second quarter but was outscored 34–0 in the final 30-plus minutes en route to a 44–35 defeat. To make matters worse, Southern Miss’ offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson, was fired by Stoops at UK after last season.

Setter Kiersten Rowe dished out 10 assists with Alex Clark leading the team with four digs. On Wednesday, Sept. 7, the Lady Dragons were on the road, crossing county lines to battle the Georgetown Lady G-Men. Once again, the girls from West Union girls were right in the match all the way to the finish. After dropping the first set 25-16, the Lady Dragons rebounded to win

With a difficult schedule and significant questions on offense, Wisconsin wasn’t expected to be much of a factor on the national scene. That might need to change after the Badgers topped LSU — a consensus preseason top10 team — 16–14 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

the second 25-17. Georgetown took the third set, but with their backs against the proverbial wall, the Dragons took set four 25-20 and for the second consecutive evening, it was on to a fifth set. Again, it was not to be for West Union as they fell in the final set to the lady G-men, 15-11. “We just aren't able to close the bag on a win yet,� said Coach McClanahan.

4. Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State Cook, like the entire Florida State team, got off to a slow start vs. Ole Miss. But when the game was over, Cook — like the Seminoles — ended up with a productive evening. The junior rushed for 91 yards on 23 carries and added career highs in both catches (seven) and receiving yards (101). 5. Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford McCaffrey’s junior season is off to a strong start with 126 yards rushing, seven receptions (for 40 yards) and two TDs in the Cardinal’s 26–13 win over Kansas State. His Heisman candidacy would have taken a huge step forward had an electrifying 97-yard punt return not been called back due to a holding penalty.

100

Missouri ran 100 offensive plays — the most by any team in the nation in Week 1 — in a 26–11 loss at West Virginia. Last season, the Tigers averaged an SEC-low 64.2 plays per game.

Four FBS teams lost to FCS opponents in Week 1 — Buffalo (22–16 4 to Albany), Virginia (37–20 to Richmond), Washington State (45–42 to Eastern Washington) and Iowa State (25–20) to Northern Iowa.

It was not a good first game for Bronco Mendendhall at Virginia. The Cavaliers lost 37–20 to Richmond, an FCS team, and looked bad doing so. The Spiders outgained UVa 524–to-302 and averaged 6.9 yards on their 76 offensive plays. Virginia lost three fumbles and threw one INT.

Baldwin again led the way with nine kills, with Gallowitz and Rowe adding five apiece. Rowe also contributed 12 assists while Baldwin served three aces. The Lady Dragons were back in action for the third successive night on Sept. 8 as they hosted the Ripley Lady Jays in Southern Hills Athletic Conference play. The results of that match were not available at press time.

3. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State The Buckeyes’ junior set a new single-game school record by accounting for seven TDs (six passing, one running) as the Buckeyes rolled up a school-record 776 total yards in a 77–10 win over Bowling Green.

NUMBERS TO WATCH

The true freshman delivered a near-flawless performance on the biggest of stages, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns to lead Texas to a 50–47 win over Notre Dame on Sunday night. The son of former Major Leaguer Steve Buechele teamed with senior Tyrone Swoopes — the Horns’ running threat from the QB position — to roll up 517 yards in the debut of offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert.

STOCK REPORT Colorado, which won a total of 10 games in Mike McIntyre’s first three seasons, posted an impressive 44–7 win over rival Colorado State in Denver. Senior quarterback Sefo Liufau threw for 318 yards and is now the school’s all-time leader in passing yardage with 7,715.

2. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson Watson wasn’t at his best in the Tigers’ 19–13 win at Auburn, but he still threw for 248 yards and one TD on the road against a very good defensive front. His 21 yards rushing were the fewest since he had 16 against Georgia Tech last October.

USC lost its opener to Alabama by points (52–6), the school’s larg46 46 est margin of defeat since a 51–0 loss against Notre Dame in 1966. The Trojans failed to score a touchdown for the first time since 1997.

10.0

Western Kentucky averaged 10.0 yards per play in its 46–14 win over Rice. For some context, North Carolina led the nation with 7.3 yards per play in 2015.

cattle prices, it is time to look at management a little closer. There are several things that we as producers can do to help the bottom line, but in some cases it may be the difference between a good year and a disaster. One of the things that go into the management is of course, pasture. Pasture has been very good and the hay supply is well above normal. This past weekend I saw several people rolling up hay on fields that are rarely cut a second time. Another issue that should be addressed is a good vaccination program. Things like blackleg have a way of showing up as it is often in the ground. Consult your local veterinarian for more information. Most people who have never had a case of blackleg, think that they do not have it on their farm, but I have been told by veterinarians that it is everywhere, some people are just lucky that it has not showed up, yet. Vaccinations are cheap. It does take time, but it is less than 50 cents per calf for the vaccine. With the value of a 500 pound calf on the market today being over $700, you could vaccinate well over 1000 calves for the amount it would cost you to lose just one calf because you did not vaccinate. Remember that with most vaccinations the first shot is just getting things started and the booster is what provides the most protection. So when you go purchase the vaccine, buy enough to give a booster the entire group. The following article discusses some tips for a better vaccination program. It appeared in the daily Beef Blog that I send out to people by e-mail. If you would like to be added to the cattle e-mail list, or another list, simply send me an e-mail at dugan.46@osu.edu. Vaccinations are an important key to proper animal health, and herd health management and to ensure that vaccination is as effective as possible, proper vaccine han-

dling and administration is very important. The following tips from Dale Grotelueschen, DVM with, at the time this was written, Pfizer Animal Health, will help get you on the right path to better herd health management: 1. Consult your veterinarian to develop a protocol that fits the health goals of your operation. 2. Select a quality product. Consult your veterinarian to ensure you are selecting the right products for your use. It is important to purchase only federally licensed vaccines from a reliable source. 3. Carefully read the label to maximize the value and effectiveness of the vaccine. It is important to understand precautions so vaccines are given at the right stage of the animals’ lives, to animals of the right age, in the proper dosage and at the appropriate intervals if more than one dose is needed 4. Store the vaccines according to label directions, paying particular attention to ensure correct temperature and light conditions. 5. When transporting vaccines to chute side, store them in a cooler with an ice pack. Keep the cooler and products in the shade. 6. Always use a sterile transfer needle or disposable syringe when rehydrating products. 7. Mix only one vaccine bottle at a time prior to administration. A good rule of thumb is not to mix more vaccines than will be used in 1 hour.

are the preferred route whenever label instructions allow. All injections should be given in the neck. 9. Make sure to use new, sharp needles and the correct gauge size for the vaccine being used and the size of the animal. Change needles every 10–15 animals, and never re-enter a vaccine bottle with a used needle. 10. Always properly clean equipment and syringes after vaccinating. Grotelueschen suggests using the following steps to assure your equipment is sterilized: Reusable syringes should be washed in hot, distilled water. First wash the outside and then take the syringe apart to wash it thoroughly. Fill the syringe with water and cover with damp paper towels. The wrapped syringe should be placed in an open re-sealable plastic bag and placed in the microwave on high for five minutes. The damp paper towels prevent the metal parts form sparking. Transfer needles also should be sterilized in the microwave; wrap in damp paper towels, place in an open re-sealable plastic bag and microwave on high for 30 seconds.
