West Union and North Adams-State Bound!
Photo by Patrice Yezzi England
It has never happened before but it will happen on Oct. 14 as two boys golf squads from Adams County will be part of the OHSAA State Tournament, played at the North Star Golf Club in Sunbury. By virtue of their 1-2 finish in the Division III District Tournament on Oct. 3, West Union and North Adams will be competing for state championships in golf. For the Dragons it will be a return to state for the second straight season, while for North Adams it is the first state trip since 2001. Above the two teams posed together after Monday’s district play. Front row, from left, Bryant Lung, Jacob Pell, Noah Lung, Tyler Fowler, and Carson Hall: Back row, from left, North Adams Head Coach Ammon Mitchell, Elijah McCarty, Colt Shumaker, Craig Horton, Patrick England, Eli Fuller, West Union Assistant Coach Arianna Bowles, and West Union Head Coach Carl Schneider.

Jack Roush Day returns to Manchester Village prepared for big turnout BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Racing legend Jack Roush returns to his hometown of Manchester on Sunday, Oct. 9 for a day of car showmanship on the banks of the Ohio River. Hundreds are expected to attend the annual event honoring Roush who has been inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. Roush is the co-founder and owner of Roush Fenway Racing (a NASCAR team headquar-
tered in North Carolina) and Chairman of the Board for Roush Enterprises – the parent company of Roush Racing, Roush Industries, Roush Performances, and Roush Clean Tech. His companies employ more than 2,000 people throughout North America and Europe. Rarely seen without his trademark Panama hat, the racing entrepreneur and automotive engineer and designer, is known on the NASCAR circuit as “The Cat in the Hat”. In his hometown, he's known as the man who makes Christmas a little
brighter. “The money we've raised with Jack's help purchased Manchester's Christmas decorations, as well as street lighting and a down-town clock,” said Earl “Buster” Ruark, Director of Jack Roush Day activities. “Over the past 13 years, I expect that Jack has brought in somewhere around $150,000 for the town.” The event is expected to draw several hundred people to the River Barn on Route 52 west of downtown Manchester where several hundred show cars will be displayed. “We had 291 cars last year,” said Ruark. “We've

events including the car show, the Dinner with Jack, the auction of racing

local school district to provide a part-time officer for the town. Council members have been dogged in their determination to get the town out of the red and into the black. As of Monday, Oct. 3 the town's $59,000 deficit has been reduced to less than $1,200 according to councilwoman Christine Henderson. “We're looking to be in the black by the end of 2016,” she said, “Once we can keep ourselves in the black and build our funds back up, then we can hire another police officer.” Animosity between the town's two remaining lawenforcement officers has taken up an enormous amount of the council's time said Henderson, who has served six years as a council member. “We'd just like to see Chief Bowling and Officer Hayes make peace,” she said. “In every place of employment you have to get along with the people

so that Officer Hayes, who is also the school resource officer, can have access to the data system,” said Henderson. “But he's refusing to do that, he said point blank that he's not going to do that.” Support for the Chief appears to be waning among residents who believe they're being forced to take sides at the
cost of public safety. During Monday night's contentious council meeting, public opinion came down on the side of public safety. “I'm in full support of law enforcement, but when one officer restricts another officer from doing his job – which is to protect my children, my opin-

It’s a wonderful life
This is part one of a series about Richard who was admitted to hospice for non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver when he was 66. Richard had lived with a plethora of medical problems since he was in his early 40’s, hepatitis, "severe" spinal stenosis with three back surgeries, heart attacks, mini strokes, and diabetes and colon cancer. In spite of his illnesses Richard kept working, kept producing, and kept serving. I've known Richard and his wife, Marjory, for almost two years now, and not until writing this story, did I realize the respect Richard deserves for his perseverance and service. So Richard, here's to you! Richard launched into the work force as a high school summer intern at Martings Department Store and ended up selling shoes there for about seven years. Like a lot of young men in those days, Richard landed a job at the New Boston steel mill where he worked in the clerical department for about six years. His next job was an eight-year stint as purchasing agent for the old Security Central Bank. But Richard's passion was writing. He reflected, "I always loved to write even when I was back in grade school." When Richard saw an ad in the Portsmouth Times for a part time sports writer, he submitted a sample story. The assistant editor read it and told him, “You know how to write”. That was the beginning of Richard's 17-year career as a sports and staff writer. Richard and I talked about how fortunate we'd been. Our jobs were unconventional and provided a degree of professional adventure, leading us to so many people and so many places. Richard
interviewed governors, congressmen, and sports and entertainment celebriLOREN HARDIN ties, STRAIGHT PATHS including Buddy Ebsen from "The Beverly Hillbillies". Richard reflected, "I covered the Shawnee State girls’ softball team at the national championships in Iowa. We went on the bus and I knew all the girls on a first name basis. I traveled with and covered the West Portsmouth girls’ softball team in the state championships. I participated in Portsmouth Days at the Cincinnati Reds ballpark. I've covered four local ball games in one day and submitted my write-ups by my deadline at midnight." Richard and I concluded we'd been blessed with wonderful lives and careers. Writing was clearly a labor of love for Richard, but I didn't realize how much so, until I heard the rest of his story. You see, Richard was a writer long before being hired by the Portsmouth Times. Richard wrote and produced Christmas plays for his church for over 30 years. He reflected, "Some people only came to the church because of the plays and I fully believe some of them are in heaven now." Marjory pointed out, "You have to include Richard's 35 years of service in the Mt. Hope Bible Camp." Richard added, "I just want young people to know Christ". I'd mistakenly assumed that Richard would have said that the highlight of his life and
career would have been hobnobbing with celebrities and covering the championship games but now I see that Richard's real passion, hope and vocation was "storing up treasures in heaven." (Matthew 6:19-21) Paul Tournier, one of my favorite authors, wrote in "The Meaning of Persons" that "Man is in search of life, it is life that he is looking for”. But most of us look for life in all the wrong places. You see, true life is transcendent. It's not occupational, educational, intellectual, psychological, material, financial or even behavioral. It's attitudinal, positional and prepositional. It is in, through, from and by Him. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life." (John 14:6). How many times have you heard someone say, "Give me one good reason why I should?" Well, ultimately there is only one good reason, "For the love of God." You see all work is honorable, any job can be an adventure and any life can be wonderful when lived with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength as unto Lord. "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through Him and whatever you do, do it heartily to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Jesus Christ." (Colossians 3: 17-23) Loren Hardin is a hospice social worker at Southern Ohio Medical Center and can be reached at hardinl@somc.org or at (740) 356-2525.

"Scooby" entered the Animal Shelter way back on April 15. He's a beautiful husky mix with plenty of spunk and personality. Scooby might have been euthanized if he'd been at any other shelter because it has taken a while to find him a great new home, but HSAC has a policy that no animal will be killed for lack of space. You can be proud that your support of HSAC gives animals like Scooby a second chance. Scooby is neutered, upto-date on vaccinations, and is waiting for an adopter at the HSAC Animal Shelter now.

Be wary of Anaplasmosis in cattle
Anaplasmosis, what is that? I wondered the same thing until just a little over six years ago. If you have cattle, you may want to know more about Anaplasmosis. I received a call earlier this week concerning the loss of some mature cows that the veterinarian diagnosed as having Anaplasmosis in Brown County. This disease has been a regular topic of discussion over the past few falls in the area, with cases in Adams, Brown, Highland and surrounding counties on both sides of the Ohio River. Anaplasmosis is a blood disease that can be passed from one cow to another by needles that producers use, plus horse flies, mosquitoes, and other insects that seek a blood meal from the cattle. This could happen when using the same needle on multiple cows, or an insect that has not completed the blood meal and the fly gets swatted by the cow’s tail and moves to another cow to complete the meal. This disease results in cows that appear to be healthy in the heat of the summer like August and September. It can carry on into October, too. The cows appear to be healthy and within a day or two they are showing a weight loss, but their eyes and ears do not appear to be that of a sick animal. These are the clinical signs of Anaplasmosis: fever, increased heart/respiration rate, muscle weakness (wobbly), thin watery blood, constipation, nervousness, anemia, inappetence, depression, a drop in milk yield, dehydration, and reproduction disorders including abortion. The cows in a majority of the cases may become aggressive just prior to death when excited. The red blood cells are destroyed to the point that these animals do not have enough oxygen in the blood and when excited they die. The symptoms are not easy to deal with. Unfortunately the symptoms consist of a near dead or dead cow when found. Producers are often guilty of discounting a cow’s death to hardware, heart attack or something.
The problem with an unexplained death is that it may take a second or third death before we decide to find out what the problem is. An unexplained death of an animal in your herd is a dangerous thing to deal with. A lesson learned may be to not have an unexplained death. Find out what happened. So the begs the question, how do I find out? Animals can be taken to a lab and be posted for a reasonable fee. It takes time to load the cow in the truck and to take her to the nearest lab, but you know what you are dealing with. In most cases you may be able to take steps to prevent further problems. This has not historically been a problem in Ohio. However, it is now being found more often for several reasons. Often cows are moved around more as they are bought and sold from more areas throughout the United States. It is believed that many herds may have carriers within the herd. Texas A&M has an outstanding fact sheet available that explains this disease in detail. If you suspect you have had a case show up in your herd, good advice would be to contact your local veterinarian as soon as possible. Prevention and treatment can include injections and medicated mineral or feed with chlortetracycline in feed is useful. Again your veterinarian can help with all aspects of this problem, including prevention. This is a situation where knowing what caused a death is very valuable. Being able to identify the

problem early will aid in prompt treatment and prevention. The cost of having an animal examined to identify the cause of death is really pretty reasonable on the surface, but it looks really cheap if it helps you prevent additional losses. Animals that are found dead without any known cause would need to be transported to the nearest lab promptly during this time of the year. Your veterinarian can help you locate a lab and give you additional instructions including blood samples that can be stored that might be helpful, too. The next challenge for those herds with known cases of Anaplasmosis in the past will be the upcoming Veterinarian Feed Directive that will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2017. This will change the availability of most treatments for this disease. Contact your local veterinarian soon to get a plan in place. Tire Amnesty Days in Adams and Brown

Community Leaders needed for Chronic Disease and Diabetes Self-Management Programs in October LOCAL NEWS
West Union People’s Defender
Interested in being trained to help your community better manage their chronic disease or diabetes conditions? The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is looking for community leaders to assist with facilitating its Chronic Disease and Diabetes SelfManagement Classes. Community, or lay, leaders will continue to support the classes in their individual communities after they complete training through the AAA7. An upcoming training is scheduled in Georgetown in Brown County beginning October 17th for those individuals who are interested in serving as a lay leader in their community. Self-management programs for people with chronic conditions and diabetes are designed to
help those with chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis and diabetes, learn to manage their conditions and take control of their health. The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and Diabetes SelfManagement Program (DSMP) was created at Stanford University and is a proven community initiative that provides health benefits and promotes disease prevention. CDSMP and DSMP are six-session workshops that
meet once a week where participants learn how to minimize symptoms such as fatigue, pain, stress and depression. It teaches skills for communication, managing medications, better breathing, and how to design your own selfmanagement program. The program focuses on the participants' role in managing their illnesses and building their confidence so that they can be successful in adopting healthier behaviors. Workshops are highly interactive, where workshop leaders, as well as group members, provide support while learning new techniques for dealing with symptoms. To expand this evidence-based program, the AAA7 is looking for individuals to become trained lay leaders. Lay leaders are volunteers who typi-
cally have chronic conditions or diabetes themselves and conduct workshops using the prepared curriculum. They complete a training program where they are mentored by master trainers. An essential element to these six-session workshops is that they are held in community-based settings, such as senior centers, faith-based organizations and libraries, with most led by certified and trained lay leaders rather than medical professionals. The upcoming Lay Leader Training will take place in Georgetown on Oct. 17, 18, 19 and 24 for the CDSMP, and Oct. 25 and 26 for the DSMP. The training will take place from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day at the Ohio Veterans Home, located at 2003 Veterans
Boulevard in Georgetown. Those who are interested must attend all six days in order to be certified to lead the programs. Attendees will be provided with in-depth information needed to conduct the workshops and receive the materials at no cost. As all workshops are designed to be facilitated by two trainers, it is strongly suggested that you bring someone with you that you prefer to lead the classes with you. A pre-screening is required of all applicants who express an interest in serving as a lay leader. For more information about registering for the lay leader training, please call Carla Cox at 1-800528-7277, extension 284, or Breanna Williams at extension 247 no later than Oct. 12.

FACT: Voter Fraud exists, but it's rare and it's a fifth degree felony. The truth is we put safeguards in place to secure the integrity of the election. Keeping the voter rolls up to date is key. We've removed more than 515,000 deceased voters and 1.5 million duplicate registrations and we cross-match with other states to identify voters who may have voted in multiple states. Ohio is an I.D. state, so if you plan to vote on Election Day, please bring a driver’s license, state I.D. or choose from one of the other alternative forms of identification allowed in Ohio. Election security is a bipartisan process in Ohio. Local boards of elections are made up of two Democrats and two Republicans. FACT: Every vote matters. Since 2013, 109 elections of candidates or issues have been decided by one vote or tied. Literally one vote has been the difference in mayoral races and school levies, and with 1,804 local issues and countless candidates on the 2016 ballot, close elections are likely to happen this year. With nearly a month to cast a ballot, Ohio is one of the easiest states in the nation in which to vote. You as an Ohioan can choose from a number of different ways to participate this election season, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Remember, decisions are made by those who show up.

Tri-State’s classic rock radio station 107.5 ‘The Breeze’ now live and local Led Zeppelin, The Who, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and many other classic rock artists reside at 107.5 on the FM radio dial in Portsmouth, Ohio. On Monday, October 3 the station became live and local, when the station’s new program director and morning air personality Alan Hoover makes 107.5 his new address as well. Hoover, who also serves as operations manager for WZZZ-FM, better known as “Classic Rock 107.5 The Breeze,” said his latest project in a lengthy radio career is to take The Breeze live and local— especially in the mornings. “We’ll be able to be a bit more involved in what we do in the community,” Hoover said. “We’ll have many more contests, lots of artist interviews, and many other great things on The Breeze.” Hoover said all of this is in addition to the station already carrying Ohio State football. He said 107.5 The Breeze went on the air in early 2003. “It has always been a classic rock station,” Hoover said. “It has been syndicated. Now it will be live and local.” The station is a “straight-ahead classic rock station,” according to Hoover. Hoover’s new air shift on the station is weekday mornings from 6 a.m.-10 a.m., as well as a Saturday shift. The station covers, primarily, Scioto, Lawrence, Adams, and Pike counties in Ohio, as well as Greenup, Lewis, and Boyd counties in Kentucky. Hometown Broadcasting of Portsmouth owns and operates 107.5 The Breeze, Mix 99.3, and Fox Sports 1260. Dan McKnight, general manager of Hometown Broadcasting, said Hoover has been a huge factor for the company, especially on Mix 99.3 thus far. “For a while Alan will be on both stations,” McKnight said. “We plan to hire a new afternoon air personality on Mix 99.3.” McKnight said Hoover’s new live and local morning show will bring great experiences to this com-
Alan Hoover is the operations manager of 107.5, “The Breeze.” munity. “We can do a lot of live and local things with the public that we were not able to do before,” McKnight said. “Our company wants to be local, local, local. This is a great example of how our stations are growing.” Hoover said the Portsmouth Area Jaycees opened its haunted house recently and the station will give away tickets to it and other local events. He said the station will do a lot of weekend giveaways, too. Hoover has a long record of building classic rock radio stations and turning them into ratings leaders. “It’s all exciting,” he said. “I love doing it.” Originally from Charleston, West Va., Hoover started in radio in 1980, working at various radio stations across the United States, including in Mobile, Alabama; South Bend, Indiana; the Outer Banks of North Carolina; “and all places in between.” He had the opportunity to go back home and work in West Virginia. “I’d never actually worked in West Virginia, even though I was born there and raised part of the time there,” Hoover said. Hoover was in Huntington from 2006 to 2009, moving after that to his home county— Kanawha County—from 2009 to 2015. “Then I came here, and we’re ready to rock this area,” Hoover said. A member of the Portsmouth community for almost a year now, Hoover said he loves the area.

“Somebody told me it’s not too big and it’s not too small, it’s just the right place,” he said. “We’ve met a lot of great folks and I’m looking forward to meeting a lot more.” Hoover has already been busy, giving away tickets to the recent Kiss concert in Huntington and the Foghat show at the Scioto County Fairgrounds. “The station is going to grow and grow and grow,” he said. “There will be more and more things that come along, and we’re excited about it.”

What you should know about tree grafting Did you know that almost all fruit trees are grafted? So are most nursery trees, for that matter. Grafting is a method of joining two different varieties of tree, to get the best qualities of both in a single tree. One plant, called the rootstock is cut off just above ground level. A softwood cutting or “shoot” from a different tree (called the scion) is then “welded” to the rootstock such that the two plants merge and grow together as one. Sometimes a bud is used rather than a shoot, but the effect is the same. Why graft two trees into one? Usually it’s because the rootstock tree and the scion tree have different desirable qualities, and this method allows them to be combined in one tree. Rootstocks control tree hardiness and soil tolerance, and are usually more vigorous and fast-growing. Scion softwood cuttings or buds control qualities like bloom size and color, fruit quality,
fall color, growth habit and other traits you can easily see. Why not just grow the tree from seed? Because trees grown from seed can’t be depended upon to be exactly the same pedigree as the parent tree. The only way to guarantee a tree to be “true to type” with known parentage is to physically cut a shoot or bud from the tree you want. It’s also faster and more efficient, in nursery production, to get large quantities of identical offspring by grafting rather than growing from seed. A good example is weep-
ing cherry, a popular ornamental tree. In this case the rootstock sapling is cut several feet above ground, and a cutting or bud from a known weeping cherry is grafted at the top of the cut-off trunk. Now the tree will have the weeping habit and profuse bloom of the parent tree with the vigor and hardiness of the rootstock tree, which is more like the wild cherry trees you see in hedgerows by the roadside. Shade tree maples known for fall color, like “October Glory” and “Autumn Blaze”, are produced by grafting. In this case the graft is at the bottom of the trunk, just above ground level. Orchard trees are all produced by grafting, because this is the only way you can be guaranteed to get the exact fruit you want.
Fruit tree grafts are usually six to eight inches above ground. It’s easy to spot tree grafts if you know how to look. There will be an obvious scar where the rootstock and scion were joined, and it takes many years for the scar to heal and disappear (if ever). On weeping cherry, you’ll find the scar just below where all the weeping branches are sprouting from the trunk. Here’s a warning: any sprouts or branches that appear BELOW the graft scar should be cut off immediately, or the rootstock tree will take over and you’ll have an entirely different tree from what you intended. It’s common for sprouts or “suckers” to appear around the base of grafted trees, or for vigorous sucker limbs to take over weeping cherry trees. You need to check your trees regularly for suckers and cut them off at the trunk. Like anything else, there
This photo shows a typical a shade tree. can be quality differences in how completely tree grafts will heal. The inner bark of trees is the pipeline for water and food, and poorly done grafts will scar badly and cut off the tree’s circulation. This is a common cause of suckering, because the energy of the rootstock has no other outlet. It’s also why suckers can seem so much healthier than the original tree. Graft scars are

The Southern Hills Athletic Conference was well represented at the Boys Division III District Golf Tournament on Oct. 3 at the Elks County Club in Portsmouth. Golfers from West Union, North Adams, Manchester, Peebles, Lynchburg, and Eastern Brown all participated, with West Union finishing first and North Adams second overall, sending them both on to the state tournament next week. BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER It hasn't happened before but it has happened. Never had two golf teams from Adams County qualified for the state tournament in the same season, until last
Monday's Southeast District Division III District Tournament changed all that. Three Teams from the county were part of the 18-hole district event, and two of them will be “moving on up” as George Jefferson might say, as the West

Browns are playing hard but making critical second half mistakes. Tom Brady makes his return in triumphant fashion. NE 34 CLE 23 Philadelphia at Detroit – The Eagles return from the bye sitting at 3-0. They face an inconsistent Lions squad which at times can be explosive on the offensive end. Carson Wentz will play well once again while Philly’s defense thwarts Matthew Stafford. PHI 27 DET 17 Chicago at Indianapolis – A huge game for both teams – the loser is likely eliminated from any realistic chance at the post season. If, a big if, the Colts can protect Andrew Luck he will have a monster game. Brian Hoyer plays well once again in defeat but it isn’t enough. IND 34 CHI 30 Tennessee at Miami – Another match-up between two struggling teams. In a tight ugly game, the Dolphins defense hits Marcus Mariota often. MIA 20 TEN 17 Washington at Baltimore – The Ravens once again face an average football team – facing only one winning team thus far. The Skins struggled mightily versus the Browns having the game gift wrapped to them in the fourth quarter. Baltimore comes off a thrilling home loss to the Raiders. The crowd should be amped for the I-95 battle. BALT 30 WASH 23 Houston at Minnesota – It is a shame JJ Watt isn’t playing in this old-school slobber-knocker. The Texans should still play well on the defensive side of the ball but will struggle to protect Brock Osweiler. The Vikings have one of the most talented rosters in the entire NFL. Sam Bradford makes enough plays to keep Minnesota undefeated. MIN 23 HOU 16 New York Jets at Pittsburgh – The Jets are off to a very disappointing start.

Members of the West Union and North Adams golf teams confer before heading out on the course for Monday’s district tournament. Whatever they talked about must have been magic, as both teams ended up qualifying for the state tournament.
Manchester Greyhounds joined West Union and North Adams, along with individual golfer Bostin Robinson from Peebles. When the fog had lifted and the sun came out, it was the Dragons on the course looking to make a return trip to the state tournament, where they finished ninth in 2015. The top two teams in the district along with the top two individuals not on one of those qualifying move on to state action. As they have been most of the season, the Dragon golfers were paced by the play of junior Elijah McCarty, who shot 37 on the front nine and 42 on the back nine for a total of 79, placing him tied for second in the overall individual standings, trailing medalist Derek Lemley of Chesapeake (76) and even with Western's Broc Jordan (79). Coming in next for West Union senior Tyler Fowler, who went 40-42 for an 82 overall. Sophomore Jacob Pell shot 84, senior Craig Horton 85, and junior Eli Fuller 92. The total team score for the Dragons was
330, 12 strokes better than second place North Adams, but earning both teams the right to advance. “Our boys played well today,” said West Union head coach Carl Schneider. “Elijah was clutch with a second place finish and Tyler really showed some senior leadership putting together a solid 82. Jacob played well on the back nine after struggling on the front and Eli also played a great back nine. Craig had a rough start being nine over through six holes but he rallied to shoot one over for the next 11 to save a nice round.” “The kids have really worked hard this year knowing that not having a trip back to state would be a disappointment. Having North Adams also qualify for state will make the trip much more fun, as both teams are great friends and enjoy golfing with each other. Playing together at districts I think helped both teams relax.” “We played a practice round earlier at North Star, where state is held,”

North Adams tops Peebles in ‘Kickin Cancer’ battles BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER It was another day for a good cause at North Adams High School on Saturday, Oct. 1 as the soccer squads at North Adams welcomed the teams from Peebles High School for the third annual “Kickin Cancer” event, non-conference games benefitting the family of 11-year old Drew Reid, a North Adams student who is bravely battling the disease. The day began with the boys teams from North Adams and Peebles taking the pitch for their action, and the game was totally dominated by the Green Devils. The home team
raced to a 4-1 halftime advantage and then added four more in the second half to claim an 8-1 victory. The lone Peebles goal came from Bostin Robinson, while the Devils got another hat trick from leading scorer and senior Patrick England, two goals from senior Kain Turner, another from senior Randall Hayslip, one from senior Ben Figgins, and another from junior Tyler Horsley. It was appropriate that the Devils got so many goals from their seniors because the day was also Senior Recognition Day at NAHS and between the boys and girls games, ceremonies were held to
honor the senior from all four teams on hand. The girls' teams then took the field as the oftinjured Lady Devils and Coach Dave D'Avignon continued to mix and match lineups and position to offset the numerous injuries that have beset their team. On Saturday, the Lady Devils were missing junior Brooklyn Wylie, who is out for the season as is senior Jordyn Kell with a serious quad injury. “The darn injuries this year have been driving us crazy and giving us a challenge to meet our goals,” said Coach D'Avignon. “Losing Jordyn as well as Brooklyn for the rest of
the season hurts but we have no choice to employ the 'next man up' principle. Other girls will have to step up as we approach
the tournament.” The game began in a show of respect for the

senior Kell, as she was allowed to take the field for an honorary kickoff on her Senior Day. “I want to thank Peebles coach Gus Denzik and their players for allowing us to do that for Jordyn,” said D'Avignon. “I know it meant a lot to her and we appreciate the good sportsmanship.” As far as the game itself, after missing time with an ankle injury, North Adams junior Lakyn Hupp has returned and she got her team on the board first at the 30:57 mark of the first half, scoring off an assist from senior Kitasha Mesmer. That was the only goal of the first half which ended with the home team up 1-0. Six minutes into the second half, it was Hupp again doing the damage, getting an unassisted goal as her initial shot was stopped by the Peebles keeper but Hupp was able to corral the rebound and get it into the goal to make it 2-0. The final North Adams goal of the day came from senior Kitasha Mesmer, her first of an injury-plagued year for her. Mesmer took a high, centering pass from Hupp and headed the ball into the net to give her team a threegoal advantage with 11:47 to play. Peebles finally got on the board with five minutes to go when Lady Indians' senior Skylar Newman was credited with a goal when a ball bounced off a North Adams defender and into the net. That as the final score of the contest, won by North Adams 3-1, improving North Adams to 8-2-2 on the season. (The Lady Devils grabbed their ninth win on Wednesday night with a 5-0 win over Fayetteville.) “Saying goodbye to the seniors is always a hard thing to do,” said Coach D'Avignon. “It is especially true about this group of seniors because, not only are they outstanding young ladies, but they have been instrumental in establishing Lady Devils girls' soccer as one of the best in Southeast District. In four years they have never known a losing season which is a far cry from what it used to be.” All four teams will now look to close out their regular seasons and look forward to this weekend's tournament draw, where they will find out what trail their postseason might take.

Schneider continued. “The kids will be familiar with the course and it is a links style course and seemed to fit our players very well. It would be nice to bring home a top five finish in the state.” The Green Devils were led by the play of senior Patrick England who handled the front nine in 42 and the back nine in 39 for an 81 that placed him tied for third in the individual standings. Junior Colt Shumaker stepped up his game at the right time at the district tourney, shooting an 86, second-best on his squad for the day. Junior Bryant Lung shot an 87, followed closely by junior Noah Lung at 88. Sophomore Carson Hall rounded out the Devils on the course with a 108. The North Adams team total of 342 was good for second place overall and a trip to the state, topping third place Adena by 17 strokes. “In any sport a coach sets his or her goal for the season to go to state and compete for a state championship,” said North Adams head coach

Actually, Cummings was just sliding to try to get possession of the ball in a game that the Dragons held on to win 2-1. BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER
The young and aggressive squad of the West Union boys soccer team, under the guidance of head coach Kevin Hunter, took to their home field on Wednesday, Oct. 5 to face off with the Fairfield Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender Lions in a Southern Hills Athletic Conference conPeebles senior Jordyn Kell, left, out for the season test. with an injury, opened last Saturday’s game with a The game was tight, ceremonial kick off. tense, and physical from start to finish as neither team played exceptionally Ammon Mitchell. “North junior Jalen James slipwell, but the Dragons Adams High School now ping to 106. ended up playing just well has that opportunity.

goals from the new-look Andre Wolke and from Nathan Greene. The Lions managed to get one past West Union keeper Chase Cumings, who then relinquished those duties in the second half to Greene. The second 40 minutes of action might not have gone on any soccer instructional videos, but what was important was that the Dragons did just enough to keep the Lions from getting any good scoring opportunities and held on for the one-goal victory. “We are happy with the league win,” said Coach Hunter. “We showed moments of greatness and then 30 seconds later, they
became moments of shame. We will see how well our boys play after getting some constructive criticism.” The answer to Hunter;s question was to come rather quickly as the Dragons were back in action on Thursday, Oct, 6, this time on the road at Portsmouth West in nonconference action. Another big test comes to finish the regular season for the Dragons, as they travel to North Adams on Oct. 14 to close out the regular season and SHAC season. The Green devils only managed to top West Union 1-0 in their earlier meeting, so the Oct. 14 game should be a real thriller for both

Records continue to fall for Lady Devils volleyball Photos: Knight: Chris Covatta; Mahomes: Tim Umphrey
BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DEFENDER
An exceptional season continues for Coach Katie Ragan and her North Adams varsity volleyball squad. The Lady Devils stand at 152 at press time and are still perfect in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference, winning their 50th consecutive match over Whiteoak on Oct. 3. The only two losses this season for the Lady Devils came out of conference, one early in the season to Portsmouth Notre Dame and one last Saturday at Huntington Ross. The Huntington loss was a five-set affair, with North Adams dropping the deci-
sive fifth set 15-9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We enjoyed playing Huntington because the game had good speed to it and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make many mistakes,â&#x20AC;? said Ragan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did make too many mistakes.â&#x20AC;? North Adams bounced back on Monday night to easily handle Whiteoak in three sets. To not, junior Abby Campton set a record when she served seven aces in the match, giving her 80 aces for the season, which is a single-season record for the Lady Devils. With only two more wins needed in SHAC to secure a fourth consecutive gold ball trophy, the Lady Devils hosted Peebles on Oct. 6 in the annual Volley for the Cure.
