One Commissioners race too close to call in unofficial count

Two-hundred-sixtynine provisional ballots will determine the outcome of the Adams County Jan. 2 term commissioner's race between Democrat Paul Worley and Republican challenger Teresa Diane Ward. With only an eight vote difference Worley had just a slight majority of the votes with 5,323 amounting to 50.04 percentage points while Ward pulled in 5,315 amounting to 49.96 percent. The final results will be determined on Nov. 21 when the provisional ballots are counted. Commissioner Brian Baldridge was successful in his bid for the Jan. 3 seat vacated by Stephen Caraway in August 2016. Democratic challenger Richard M. Dryden collected 4,369 votes to Baldridge's 6,375 or 59.34 percent.

In the race for the U.S. Senate, 10,881 votes were cast in 23 precincts, giving Republican Rob Portman the majority with 8,301 and Democratic challenger Ted Strickland 2,130. Green party candidate Joseph R. DeMare pulled in 126, and Scott Ruper drew 154. Portman retained his Senate seat. Republican Brad Wenstrup earned another term and in Adams County carried the county with 8,299 votes while challenger William R. Smith drew 2,132. State Senator Joe Uecker held onto his seat with 7,469 votes against Democratic challenger Charlie Carlier. State Representative Terry A. Johnson, running unopposed, won 8,254 votes in the county. On the local level, voters returned seven Republicans and two Democrats running unopposed to their seats. See Outcome / A5

Upset win sends Trump to the White House Ugly campaign ends in Republican victory BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER In what is being described by many experts as the “biggest political upset in history”, billionaire businessman Donald Trump shocked the nation with a late come-from-behind victory in the 2016 presidential election, topping Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

A campaign that involved as much mudslinging as seen in recent history came to a conclusion on Tuesday evening when Trump became the first person with no previous military or political experience to be elected President, denying Clinton the history of becoming the country's first female Chief Donald J. Trump was elected as the 45th President Executive as well as of the United States in an upset win over Democratic See Trump / A5 candidate Hillary Clinton.

Looking for our forever home

Behold, I tell you a mystery

I’m revisiting my old friend James this week. I’ve written two previous columns about him, “A Moose of a Different Color” and “Some Men’s Sins Go before Them”. James has one of the most unique spiritual testimonies I’ve ever heard. In his younger days he was a heavy drinker. He told me, “Me and my wife’s uncle always went to the Riverside Bar and Grill, in Columbus, after work. There was a large moose’s head mounted on the wall behind the bar. One night, after about ten doubles I looked up at that moose’s head and its eyes looked like they were glaring back and forth at me. Then I heard the moose say, ‘This is your night. You better change your ways. It’s your last chance.’ It scared me to death so I called a taxi to take me home. I wasn’t smart enough then to know that it wasn’t the moose that was talking to me, but the Holy Spirit.” Jim realized the importance of confession, of having a clean slate before God. He declared, “If something is bothering me I pray about it. Some men’s sins go before them and some men’s sins follow them, those are the ones that show up later. The ones that go before you are the ones that are forgiven. I want my sins to go before me.” Well, Jim died of colon cancer and I visited his wife Wanda in the Hospice room shortly after his death. She told me, “Sometime between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m. I was taking a nap beside Jimmy’s bed. I woke up very cold and afraid. I saw a very bright light and then I saw two people taking Jimmy out of the room. I couldn’t see their faces, just their shapes. I asked Jimmy’s brother, Donnie, and his sister, Margaret, who it was that took Jimmy from the room. They told me, ‘Look! He’s right there in bed.’ About 5:45 a.m. Jimmy passed away. I believe he was already gone.” Now this is where the story gets really mysterious. Wanda told me that Jim’s niece Sandy, who lives near Cincinnati, had a similar vision around the same time. Sandy later shared her experience with me in a letter: “ Right before Jim was diagnosed with cancer I started having visions. In my vision, I thought that I could see two people standing with outreached arms. They were trying to tell me something about Jim, they were Jim’s mother and his aunt. One Saturday as I sat at the table working on a paper for graduate school, I saw the vision

again. I knew if I wanted to see Jim alive, I had to go immediately. I left early Sunday morning and went to see Jim for the last time. Monday morning between 4:30 and 5:30 a.m., I had another vision. It was as if I was looking LOREN HARDIN down on STRAIGHT PATHS Jim’s hospital room. I saw him in bed and other people in the room with him and then I saw a ball of light swoop down across his bed and linger in the corner of the room. It became brighter and left the room. I knew Jim was either gone or would be soon.” Then there was Jim’s 30year old nephew who told Wanda that he was awakened around 5:30 a.m. by Jim singing the song he used to sing to him when he was

a small child. Jim’s nephew’s wife, found him sitting on the side of his bed crying, stating that Jim had died. His mother said, ‘You don’t know’. About 20 minutes later they called and were told that Jim had in fact died. How do you explain this? Is it mere coincidence? I don’t believe so. God’s Holy Spirit is alive and active. Spiritual realities are spiritually discerned and the mysteries of God are only understood when spiritually revealed. (I Corinthians 2:616) “Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed…death is swallowed up in victory…thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Corinthians 15:51-58) 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.

.My name is Hunter. Sometimes bad things happen to good dogs. I was traumatized at some point in my early life by children, so I really don't get along very well with anyone under 12 years old, but I have a lot of really great qualities, too, such as: I'm good with other dogs, I'm good with cats, I walk well on a leash, I am neutered, and I am up-to-date on all of my shots. I'm also out of that annoying puppy stage. With all of these great qualities, I sure hope you'll consider adopting me today. I'm in foster care to help me better cope with my life as a Shelter dog, so please call the Shelter and ask them to schedule a time and place so we can meet. Molly, aka Chewbacca, will be available to go home with her adopter on Nov 17. Molly is a sweet, small dog who prefers women and children. Molly is not overly fond of men. If you would be interested in giving Molly a fur-ever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 5448585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application.

How to stop the Honeysuckle Invasion

After almost 20 years on our farm I suddenly realized that we were being invaded. On my watch, under my nose, our woods and stream banks have been taken over by an aggressive woody plant called Amur Honeysuckle. If I don’t take action soon, this scourge will be so wellestablished that we’ll never be rid of it. Perhaps you’ve noticed these bushes lining the woods and hedgerows. At this time of year they really sta nd out, because most other woodland plants have lost their leaves. Amur honeysuckle bushes practically glow with light green foliage

and shiny red berries. Left alone, they form dense undergrowth too thick to walk through. Birds eat the berries and spread their seed far and wide. I’ll bet you have a few in your yard. If you own wooded acreage, I’d be surprised if the same invasion isn’t well advanced there. You n eed to take action and destroy them before your entire

landscape turns into a jungle. In doing so you’ll contribute to one of the most important environmental battles of our time. Just ask any urban forester, forest ranger, park manager or conservationist. They’re losing sleep over this problem right now. Our farm is large – 158 acres in all, at least half of it wooded. We have miles of trails, which soon wi ll be blocked and blotted out by the invaders. We’re busy, pulled in a thousand directions, as you probably are too. How can we beat back this invasion? We’ve already spent days cutting the plants back and grubbing them out, but we’re losing the battle and we’re out of time. Courtesy of ODNR Urban Forester Wendi Van Buren, here are a few suggestions. She sent me a long list; I narrowed it down to ideas that ar e efficient, take a minimum of hard labor and work particularly well in fall: 1. Young plants can simply be pulled out. This method works best after a good rain when the ground is moist and soft. Wear gloves with rubberized palms for a better grip as sometimes the young bark slips off, and

Amur Honeysuckle is an invasive woody shrub that is taking over our woods and landscapes. the stem becomes slippery. If you leave the plant on the ground, be sure that you leave the roots in the air, or the plant can re-root itself. 2. Using a hatchet or hand hoe, slash the plant just a few inches above ground level. Immediately spray brush killer into the wounds. We use Bonide Brush Killer concentrate mixed with water in a small pump sprayer. RoundupPro or Finale work also. Be sure to follow the directions on the label. 3. Cut the plant off at the ground and immediately paint or spray a strong mixture of brush kill er or Roundup on the cut. If you wait to apply the herbicide the next day, the wound will have “healed”, and the herbicide will not be carried to

the roots. 4. Use an EZ-Ject Lance to inject capsules of brush killer into the bark around the base of the plant. The EZ-Ject can be loaded with up to 400 pre-made plugs of herbicides encased in brass capsules. Place the lance’s gripping teeth against the trunk of th e shrub, then PUSH! The brass capsule is then driven into the tree trunk. You can find this tool, instructions and demonstration videos at www.ezject.com.

Social media exploded on Tuesday evening and overnight as Americans expressed either their outrage at the choice or their support for the platform of “change” promised by the Republican candidate, who received a concession phone call from Clinton around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning. When inaugurated in January 2017, the 70-year old Trump will become the country's 45th President and has already scheduled a transition meeting with current President Barack Obama on Thursday as one of the biggest political upheavals in America's history begins. In his victory speech, Trump told his supporters, “It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be President for all of Americans, and this is so important to me. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I'm reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country. As I've said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign but rather an incredible and great movement, made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for

Voters said yes to four Cemetery Levies, Green Township 157 to 84; Liberty Township 503 to 334; Winchester Township 655 to 315; and Winchester Township Union Cemetery 612 to 348. Four Fire Levies were also approved: Green Township 160 to 82; Jefferson Township 213 to 120; Oliver Township 322 to 100; and Scott Township 600 to 281.

Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. I've spent my entire life in business, looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world.” In an election that also saw the Republicans keep control of Congress, Trump won the state of Ohio and its 18 electoral votes, with approximately 52% of the state's vote. The president-elect also controlled the vote here in Adams County, collecting 8,445 votes to Clinton's 2.293. Stephen Caraway, former Adams County Commissioner and Treasurer of the Adams County Republican Party, gave the Defender his thoughts on the election's outcome. “The bottom line is, Americans were sick and tired of being sick and tired with the Washington political establishment,” said Caraway. “Donald Trump offered this country more than just lip service, more than just rhetoric, he offered real and meaningful change. The Adams County Republican Party is humbled by the outpouring of support for our nominee. These results are historic, even for a conservative area like Adams County taking 75% of the vote is nearly unheard of.” “Voters wanted to change and change they shall get. I commend Secretary Clinton and her supporters, it is now time for the country to come together after this divisive election.”

A6 West Union People’s Defender

If you didn’t have any appointments on a particular day, could you spend the entire day not knowing what time it is? As human beings most people live their lives as slaves to time, but we SHEs (Sidetracked Home Executives) are blessed by being able move through our days pretty much oblivious to it. That’s because we have no concern for time when we are enjoying our ability to get in the zone and stay there until we’re jolted out. We’re sort of like creatures of our world. For them life has no time. A bear doesn’t wake up with the sun and call it morning and she doesn’t think about all she has to do and wonder if she’ll have time to do it before the sun goes down. She just lives each day. Humans are the only ones that watch the clock from morning till night, reducing their lives to mathematical fragments. Time itself is an invention of ours. Yet few feel, as they run in the rat race, they have time for anything to be really fulfilling. Science has been teaching us that because we are self-aware, time is the concept by which we can define and gauge ourselves. Yet time doesn’t actually exist. It’s only a concept we made up to keep on the same page with each other. Animals don’t have to use this fake concept to be on the same page with other animals, as they manage that natu-

rally. Ducks don’t have flight schedules, but they do have flight plans directed by a mysterious source that is timeless. But for many, life has gotten to the point where they are governed by this invented concept. Take the Pam Young watch on your Getting wrist, Organized the clock on the wall, or the numbers on your cellphone; they are merely reporters of that made up concept. Even by their own definitions, they are timeless. The clock itself is unmoving on the wall. The watch is unmoving, unless you move your arm around. The numbers on your cellphone are just numbers that have no destination. They are only set to measure the endless movement of the sun and our planet. At work, most people are measured daily by how much time they put in, when the coffee break happens, how long they have for lunch; and finally the addictive clockwatching enables them to at last call it a day. Something is wrong with this. That role of time serves to limit us and make us anxious and worried. On the other hand, we SHEs are more prone to focus our attention on the task we’re on and we can

get lost in it instead of considering how long it’ll take. Measurement of time actually stunts people, if they are constantly trying to squeeze some feeling out of whatever minutes or hours they perceive as theirs. The workplace (which could also be your home if that’s where you work) can be a place of creativity where fulfillment on many levers is possible. If the task itself is dull, like vacuuming or making beds, we can figure out ways to make it fun so we can get it done and move on to something we really love doing. In our society, most people tend to work according to the hours they put in, rather than the depth to which they experience pride or joy in what they’re doing, or the degree to which they’re having fun with the people in their workplace. It’d be good if our values included simple respect for work well done, engendering self-respect no matter what the job. Be grateful you’re a SHE. Losing track of something that isn’t real, almost assures you of a very rich and interesting life. For more from Pam Young go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get organized, lose weight and get your finances in order, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

Preparing your Autumn Garden Calendar BY FAYE MAHAFFEY OSUE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER

How are you progressing on your “to do list� as you put your beds to sleep for the winter? The weather has been giving gardeners some bonus days to pull some weeds and plant shrubs and trees, but we all know the bitter cold temperatures are on the way. Today’s tasks on my list include: Put the tomato cages away in the shed, add shredded leaves to the garden, cut and treat Honeysuckle stumps, and tidy up the Potting Shed. November’s list of garden tasks includes: The Whole Garden: - Clean, oil and sharpen your garden tools - Prepare the lawn mower for winter storage - Test your soil - Before the ground freezes hard, install bluebird nesting boxes -Feed lawn before winter Trees and Shrubs: -Make sure all leaves are off your lawns before heavy snows begin -Remove broken or diseased branches -Spray antidessicants on broadleaved evergreens -Flowers and Grasses: -Keep planting daffodil bulbs until the ground freezes -Finish cutting back perennials -Mulch perennial gardens Fruits and Vegetables: -Continue harvesting kale and collards until snow is on the ground -Harvest greens in your cold frame -Finish putting the garden to bed While doing some

research on the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service website I found a handy Autumn Calendar compiled by B. Rosie Lerner that includes the following advice for November: 1) Move plants closer to windows or to sunnier exposures, such as west and south facing windows, if plants are dropping many leaves. Artificial lights may be needed to supplement particularly dark rooms. 2) If you are planning to order a “live� Christmas tree, prepare its planting hole before the soil freezes. Mulch the area heavily to prevent freezing, or dig the hole and put the fill in a protected, nonfreezing area, such as a garage or basement. 3) Have garden soil tested for fertilizer needs every three to five years. 4) Apply winter

mulch to strawberries when plants are dormant but before temperatures drop below 20 degrees F, usually in late November or early December. Mark your calendars for the OSUE Brown County Master Gardener Volunteers’ Nov. 17 garden seminar being held at the Mt. Orab campus of Southern State Community College in Room 107 at 7 p.m. FFA advisor and teacher, Jamie Louden, will be talking about “Growing Chrysanthemums�. Remember that all seminars are free and open to the public. My outside “to do list� is getting revised daily depending on the weather. Our window of opportunity to finish up this year’s list is closing quickly. It is time to prioritize.

Prussic acid and nitrate poisoning concerns after a light frost

In recent weeks I have discussed the dangers of Johnson grass in areas being grazed, and often find many that are not aware of the risk. We have had a couple of light frosts, but the forecast for this Sunday is a low in the 20's. This will most likely get the entire area into temperatures that can cause problems for plants like this. The following was in a recent Beef Blog and written by Glenn Selk, a Beef Specialist from Oklahoma State University Extension. Although late October has been very warm and “summer-like�, the average first frost date for much of the Southern Plains is here. Soon a cold front will bring near-freezing to sub-freezing nighttime temperatures It was discovered in the early 1900s that under certain conditions sorghums are capable of releasing hydrocyanic acid or commonly called prussic acid. Prussic acid when ingested by cattle, is quickly absorbed into the blood stream, and blocks the animal's cells from utilizing oxygen. Thus the animal dies from asphyxiation at the cellular level. Animals affected by prussic acid poisoning exhibit a characteristic bright red blood just prior to and during death. Lush young regrowth of sorghum-family plants are prone to accumulate prussic acid especially when the plants are stressed such as drought or freeze damage. Light frosts that stress the plant but do not kill it, are often associated with prussic acid poisonings. Producers should avoid grazing fields with sorghum type plants following a light frost. The risk of prussic acid poisoning will be reduced, if grazing is delayed until at least one week after a "killing freeze". As the plants die and the cell walls rupture, the hydrocyanic acid is released as a gas, and the amount is greatly reduced in the plants. One can never be absolutely certain that a field of forage sorghum is 100% safe to graze. Cattle that must be grazed on forage sorghum pastures during this time of year should be fed another type of hay before turning in on the field, and should be watched closely for the first few hours after turn in. If signs of labored breathing, such as would be found in asphyxiation, are noted, cattle should be removed immediately. Call your local veterinarian for immediate help for those animals that

are affected. Be certain to read OSU Fact Sheet PSS2904 “Prussic Acid Poisoning� before turning cattle to potentially dangerous fields. Frosts also stress the plant before a hard freeze kills it. Plant stress from frosts will impair the normal metabolism of the plant. Therefore the plant continues to take up nitrates from the soil but is inefficient at converting the nitrates to protein. Therefore nitrate accumulations may reach dangerous levels. Testing the forage before grazing or cutting for hay will provide important knowledge about the safety or danger in the forage. Visit with an OSU County Extension office about testing procedures and read OSU Fact Sheet PSS-2903 Nitrate Toxicity in Livestock�. LAMB 509 class coming soon

WUHS Beta Club hosts Blood Drive BY JAMIE PUCKETT

The West Union High School Beta Club hosted their annual autumn blood drive on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Hoxworth Blood Center's High School Blood Program offers students an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand how they can contribute to their community by making a difference in the lives of people around them. Students who participate in organizing blood drives learn valuable skills in leadership, community service, communication, project management, planning, setting and reaching goals and teamwork. The Hoxworth Blood Center is also in associat-

ed with the University of Cincinnati. After giving blood, students were given drinks, snacks, and literature about blood donation. Students can earn a scholarship from the Hoxworth Blood Center by giving blood and can wear honor cords at graduation for donating four times. Thirteen percent of Hoxworth's total yearly blood collections come from high school blood drives. In fact, during the last school year, there were approximately 12,000 donors at high school blood drives. Since one donation can save up to three lives, about 36,000 tri-state patients were helped by students in

Dryden’s SHAC hands out 2016 Fall Sports Awards Den: Eastern Brown hosts Oct. 31 ceremonies Week 10 in the NFL

Last Week: 10-3 Season: 73-58-2 TNF: Cleveland at Baltimore – The young Browns are regressing. A short week may be a blessing in disguise. The Ravens haven’t played well but find themselves in a tie for first, albeit at 4-4. Expect a close game, but the Cleveland secondary will once again be their Achilles heel. BALT 27 CLE 20 Green Bay at Tennessee – The Packers have struggled mightily this season, even on the offensive side of the ball. The Titans Scott Dryden couldGuest n’t Columnist effectively run the ball in San Diego, which severely limits their viable options. They better run the ball against Green Bay, if not Aaron Rodgers will get more possessions against a suspect defense. Mariota and Rodgers equals a fun watch. Green Bay gets a much needed victory. GB 31 TEN 27 Minnesota at Washington – Once described as a serious Super Bowl contender, the struggling Vikings have now lost three in a row. Their offensive line should play much better against a weak Redskins defense. Washington is still in reach of a wild card berth led by a productive offense. In a tight contest, strong defense along with improved play from Sam Bradford halts the Minnesota losing streak. MIN 23 WASH 20 Chicago at Tampa Bay – The Bears come off the bye week to face a struggling Tampa Bay squad. Jay Cutler looks to continue his play from their Week 8 victory over Minnesota. Expect both Cutler and Jameis Winston to have big games. The Bucs earn a big victory which keeps them in the playoff picture. TB 37 CHI 30 Kansas City at Carolina – Whether it is Alex Smith or Nick Foles, the Chiefs are a very good football team. Simply put, all Andy Reid does is win. They will face a Panthers squad that possesses renewed vigor. The Kansas City defense will bring the heat on Cam Newton. After this game he may be once again request Roger Goodell’s ear. Expect a physical game – the Panthers continue their ascent. CAR 20 KC 17 Atlanta at Philadelphia – The Falcons offense is as good as any in the league. Their defense gives up points but is a fast-aggressive unit. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are a big test for a very good Philadelphia defense. Carson Wentz is starting to turn the ball over as the protection has broken down. The Eagles are still competitive but a loss in Week 10 will severely dampen their playoff aspirations. In a thrilling contest, Ryan continues to play at a very high level. ATL 27 PHI 24 Los Angeles at New

NFL Picks

From page B1 York Jets – Jeff Fisher must have something, something major on the Rams’ brass. The much maligned head coach hasn’t been a top level coach in a very long time, if he ever was. Somehow, he keeps his job despite sticking with Case Keenum over number one overall pick Jared Goff. Keenum and the Rams will make the cross country trek to face another struggling squad in the New York Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick is iffy but even if Bryce Petty is under center, the Jets get the victory. NYJ 23 LA 13 Denver at New Orleans – The defending champions fell out of first place with a loss on Sunday night to rival Oakland. They have struggled to score points which will no doubt be

Texas A&M’s stay among the top four teams in the College Football Playoff ranking will be brief. The Aggies — a surprising No. 4 in the first poll — lost at Mississippi State 35–28 on Saturday afternoon to fall to 7–2 overall and 4–2 in the SEC. A&M’s defense, a strength earlier in the year, gave up 574 total yards.

needed against the rejuvenated Saints. Von Miller will be a handful but Trevor Siemian will not be able to put enough points on the board. Drew Brees does enough to will New Orleans to the home victory. NO 27 DEN 20 Houston at Jacksonville – The Texans return from their bye to face a Jaguars team that managed only 14 points in Kansas City. Houston is probably the best team in the AFC South but the margin is thin. The Jags are one of the most disappointing teams in the league but somehow manage to eke out a home victory as Blake Bortles finally plays well. JAX 23 HOU 20 Miami at San Diego – The Dolphins offensive line and powerful running back Jay Ajayi are dominating the line of scrimmage.

Wyoming is enjoying its finest season since the Joe Tiller era in the 1990s. The Cowboys improved to 7–2 overall and, more important, 5–0 in the Mountain West with a 52–28 win over Utah State. The Cowboys, who beat MW power Boise State two weeks ago, still have to play San Diego State and New Mexico — two of the top teams in the league.

They have won three games in a row – each at home. They travel to San Diego to face a Chargers squad which is 3-1 over their last four. Something has to give. Expect a big game from Phillip Rivers which leads to an early lead – limiting the Miami running game. The Bolts move to .500. SD 27 MIA 23 Dallas at Pittsburgh – A tremendous match-up between two storied franchises. The Cowboys come into Heinz Field with a 4-0 road record. Their youngsters have played very well showing poise under pressure. The Steelers have suffered through a rash of injuries. Ezekiel Elliott should find success against the 13th ranked defense versus the run. Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown will bounce back in a big way in front of their

Baylor’s tumultuous season took another turn for the worse — both on the field and in the stands. With some of the school’s fans wearing black shirts to support former coach Art Briles, the Bears gave up 688 total yards and lost to TCU 62–22. It was a performance that was reminiscent of the pre-Briles days at Baylor.

home faithful. In a great game Pittsburgh accomplishes something few have – they put pressure on rookie Dak Prescott. PIT 34 DAL 27 San Francisco at Arizona – The Niners defense is as bad as it gets.

They come off their bye follow-

The Giants are a difficult team to figure out. They reached the halfway point at 5-3. They have plenty of playmakers on offense but rank 23rd overall on defense.

Overcoming adversity, veteran of Iraq War opens local business West Union People’s Defender

Using his skills and determination, Adam Hoople carves out his place in civilian life BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

After facing combat and years of rigorous work and training, veterans often face difficult challenges when they return to civilian life. Adam Hoople of West Union understands those struggles. After serving in the U.S. Navy four years during the Iraqi War, he returned home to Adams County in 2004 and discovered that the training he received while serving in the armed forces didn't translate to job opportunities, but he was determined to carve out his place in civilian life. “I went back to school and completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Natural Science at Shawnee State

University,” he says, “That was my passion.” After graduating Cum Laude in his class, Hoople was hired by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) as a seasonal employee, then as a maintenance supervisor. He steadily climbed the ranks to a full-time Preserve Manager for the ODNR's Division of Natural Areas and Preserves. When his health began to deteriorate, Hoople struggled to overcome the pain and keep working. “I'd worked for ODNR as a preserve manager for six years when I started having serious health problems,” he said. “On my birthday in 2014, I was let go, and I went through a hard time after that because I was taught to be a provider for

my family, but I was unable to work.” Like many veterans fortunate enough to find satisfying jobs, Hoople lost his position due to the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and debilitating health problems acquired while serving his country. He was diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome and endured many months of bleak depression and bitter frustration because he had been unable to keep the job of his dreams. But, Adam Hoople was not a man to be kept down for long. With improvements in treatment for his service-related health issues, Hoople began brainstorming new career options. “I knew I wanted an economyproof business that would give me the flexibility to

Overcoming numerous obstacles and health issues, Iraq War veteran Adam Hoople of West Union now runs his own business, Hoople’s Gunstocks. work when I was feeling strong, whether that was in the afternoon or the wee hours of the night.” In the summer of 2016, Hoople started his own business, Hooples’ Gunstocks, which he runs from a workshop at his home in West Union. “We do just about everything,” Hoople explains. “We duplicate, repair, checker, blue,

and do plenty of custom work, I put all my skill into every gun I repair because I love it, it's like art to me.” The future for Hoople is again looking bright. He is excited about his new business, and his health issues are being addressed by advances in pain management. More importantly Hoople says, “I am able to show my six-year-old son,

Jack, that life might throw a few curve balls now and then, but, with the right attitude and gumption, doors that have closed can turn into windows through which dreams can soar.” For more information about Hooples’ Gunstocks, please call Adam Hoople at (937) 403-1026 or visit Hoople’s’s Gunstocks on Facebook.

Honoring one who gave the 'last full measure of devotion' Local community dedicates Memorial Drive to fallen Vietnam soldier

BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

April 22, 2014 – Two elderly men, one seated in a wheelchair guided by the other, slowly make their way down the length of the black granite Vietnam Wall Memorial. Inscribed with the names of 54,000 Americans who fought and died in one of America's most divisive wars, the Wall is a lasting memorial to the men and women who died in defense of liberty. Stopping before Panel 37, the old man, a veteran of World War II, rises from his chair and presses a white sheet of paper against the cold stone. He carefully fans a pencil back and forth across the paper until the name of his son emerges – Teddy R. Sininger. The youngest son of Carl and Bessie Sininger of West Union, Teddy was killed in action in Vietnam on Dec. 15, 1968 while on a medivac rescue mission, one month before his 21st birthday. The Siningers were well-known in the West Union area where they raised their four children – Sandy, Denny, Teddy, and Pam. Carl delivered fuel to homes and businesses and Bessie worked at the local hospital. Teddy was their youngest son. “Teddy was a great example of a post-war American boy growing up in a Norman Rockwell community,” West Union Mayor Ted Grooms said in a speech honoring his friend during the dedication of the Teddy R. Sininger Memorial Drive. “He was a friend to everyone, with an infectious, addicting smile. No one could talk to Teddy without smiling, but we were simply smiling back because Teddy always smiled first.” Those who knew him say his smile and sense of humor were inherited from his father. “Teddy looked liked Dad and talked like Dad,” says his sister, Pam Davis. “If you knew my Dad, you knew Teddy.” Like most boys in small American towns in the 1960's Teddy liked hanging out at the local gas station with his friends. “We boys always hung out the Sinclair Station,” said David Gifford, a boyhood friend of Sininger's. “Teddy loved cars and he was an excellent mechanic, he could fix anything, but he especially loved fixing up old cars.” At an early age Teddy demonstrated a strong work ethic and a high level of mechanical skill. “There were customers like Art Smith, the President of the National Bank, who didn't want anyone but Teddy working on their vehicles,” Davis recalled. “That was really his passion, working on

cars, he had a real gift for it.” Teddy was drafted into the Army in 1968, but according to his sister, Sandy Berry, joining the military wasn't something he had any interest in. “He was a simple, loving boy who would never have gone to war,” she says. But, after scoring well on his aptitude tests the Army offered him a position as a helicopter mechanic and he voluntarily changed his status from “drafted” to “enlisted”. “That was like a dream come true for him, to be in Vietnam, and have the opportunity to work on helicopters,” said Davis, who was left in charge of Teddy's '49 Ford fixerupper. “He wanted me to drive it to keep it running, so I'd take kids to the drive-in, and he'd always want to know how many miles I'd put on it, he didn't want me to over-drive it.” Teddy never had the opportunity to finish his car, but in the ears after his death, his father Carl saw to it that the finishing touches were placed on his son's car. While in Vietnam Teddy served as a Specialist 4th Class Crew Chief on a UH-1 MediVac Helicopter. He and the three men with whom he worked – a medic, a pilot, and copilot were shot down over the Binh Dinh Province on Dec. 15, 1968. Teddy and the medic were killed in the crash. The pilot and co-pilot survived but had to spend the night in the jungle. For many years the questions concerning the details of Teddy's death went unanswered. The military wouldn't allow his coffin to be opened so that his remains could be identified. “Bill Lafferty ran the funeral home back then,” said Davis. “Teddy's military escort never left his side and he wouldn't let Bill open the casket - we thought that was very curious.” Years later the Sininger family would have the opportunity to meet the pilot and learn the full story about what had happened to their son and brother. “They were on a rescue mission when their helicopter ran into trouble,” said Davis. “Teddy saw the helicopter backfiring and warned the pilot who said he hoped there were no trees under them – but there were.” Teddy's body was returned to his family the last week of December in 1968. His eulogy, written by the Sininger's longtime friend and neighbor, Jane Harsha, expressed the shock and pain that followed news of his death: “It is difficult indeed to accept the premature passing of the quiet, contented little neighbor boy who grew so quickly before

one's very eyes into quiet, contented young manhood and then went away to give his life so soon in a foreign land. Wars with their human losses are universally tragic, but never so keenly felt as when the loss becomes personal to oneself, one's close friends, one's own street, and personal to the little community where a native son has been so well known and so sincerely loved. The one consoling thought for all of us who hold Teddy's memory deep within our hearts is the certain knowledge that he is not in enemy hands, but in the everlasting arms of his Heavenly Father. A soft spoken and gentle boy, life in West Union was very dear to Teddy. More quiet than gay, more considerate than careless, he found happiness in a

warm comradeship with his family, a great love of little children, a real companionship with his dog, a genuine courtesy toward his neighbors, his teachers, and his many friends from all ages in all walks of life. He took pride in the work of his hands, working patiently and precisely at every task he undertook. He gave freely of his time and skills to help others. He obeyed his parents, he respected the law, he honored his country. Teddy was never a part of the world's problem; he was always, in his modest and unobtrusive way, a part of its solution. Out of the brevity of his life emerges its shining quality. This was youth at its best, and young manhood at its finest. This was a good life that Teddy laid down. May God take it up, enlarge it, expand it, and bear it on wings of mercy to Eternal Glory.”

Patrol reminds motorists that safety belts save lives PRESS RELEASE

There is no disputing that wearing a safety belt can save your life. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is encouraging all motorists to buckle up this upcoming holiday season and continue to do so throughout the new year. From 2013-2015, 1151 people were killed in crashes across Ohio who were not wearing an available safety belt. “It’s simple – safety belts save lives and reduce injury in crashes,” said Lt. Randy McElfresh, commander of the Georgetown Post. “It is the easiest and most effective action you can take to protect yourself, your family and your friends.” The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 394 lives were saved in Ohio and 13,941 were saved nationwide in 2015 as a direct result of motorists buckling up. According to Ohio’s 2015 Observational Seatbelt Survey, 83.9 percent of motorists were found to be in compliance with Ohio’s safety belt law. This is a decrease from the 85.0% observed in 2014, the record high. Occupants of light trucks (80%) and those who were 15-25 years old (82%) were below the statewide rate. Women (88%) were more likely to wear safety belts than men (81%).

Winter Safety Awareness Week is Nov. 13-19

Sunday, November 13, 2016

LOCAL NEWS

Male passengers of motor vehicles aged 15-25 only had a 64% usage rate, the lowest in the survey. While these rates appear high, far too many Ohioans still do not buckle up. Ohio’s safety belt law remains a secondary violation; however, troopers continue zero tolerance enforcement when motorists are stopped for other violations and are found unbuckled. Safety belt usage rates in the 34 states with primary safety belt laws continue to be higher than the rates in states with secondary laws like Ohio (91% versus 79% in 2015). Troopers wrote 118,358 citations in 2015, for failure to wear a safety belt. Troopers ask that you wear your safety belt every time and insist that those who travel with you buckle up as well.

PRESS RELEASE

ter, OCSWA recommends the following: • Prepare your home for winter. Cut and remove lowhanging and dead tree branches. Ice, snow and strong winds can cause tree limbs to break and fall. Have your gutters cleaned. Snow and ice can build up quickly if gutters are clogged with debris. Have auxiliary heaters, furnaces and fireplaces checked or serviced before using. If using a portable generator, read instructions thoroughly to guard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Review your homeowner's insurance policy; talk with your insurance agent about the financial risks that winter can bring. Consider purchasing flood insurance. • Prepare winter disaster kits for the home and vehicle. Refresh stored nonperishable foods and bottled water. Change the batteries in your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and radios. Winter emergency kits should include warm clothing, blankets, flashlights, new batteries, coats, hats, gloves, a battery-operated or hand-cranked radio, first aid kit, and enough nonperishable food and water (one gallon per person, per day) to sustain every family member for several days. Have stored food, bottled water and supplies for your pets, as well. • Invest in a NOAA Public Alert/Weather Radio. Every home, school and business should have a tonealert weather radio with a battery back-up. Weather and public alert radios are programmed to automatically sound an alert during public safety and severe weather events. Click on www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/ for additional information. Update your disaster preparedness plans. Every home, school, and business should have written plans for the different types of incidents that can occur. Review the plans with the entire family or staff. Everyone should know what to do in the event of a snow or ice storm, a prolonged power outage, a flood or fire. Post contact information for your local emergency management agency. Prepare and practice drills that require sheltering in place and evacuation.

Because phone numbers change and families move, ensure your emergency contact list is updated. Establish a meeting place outside of the home, school or business, where others will know where to find or meet you. OCSWA is an advocate for emergency preparedness and is comprised of representatives from the following: American Red Cross; Emergency Management Association of Ohio; National Weather Service; Ohio Citizen Corps; Ohio Department of Public Safety – Emergency Management Agency; Ohio Insurance Institute; Ohio Department of Commerce – State Fire Marshal; Ohio Departments of Aging, Education, Health, Insurance, Mental Health & Addiction Services, Natural Resources, and Transportation; NBC4 (WCMH) and WBNS10TV.
