Worley by a narrow margin of 35 votes. Ward is the first woman ever to be elected to serve on the county board of commissioners. In the final tally following the provisional ballot count, Ward won 5,457 votes while Worley fell short with 5,422.
Ward will bring over three decades of business, fiscal and administrative experience to the commissioner's board. Running on a campaign of government transparency and accountability, she promised to bring an end to the “flagrant spend-
ing” of taxpayer dollars. In a pre-election interview with The People's Defender, Ward said, “I hope to bring a higher level of responsibility to the Board of Commissioners by addressing county issues in a timely manner, abiding by the the Ohio Revised Code, networking with my contacts through the County Commissioners Association of Ohio, eliminating wasteful spending, courageously addressing the issue of misuse of funds, and restoring openness and transparency to the office. I will be a voice for all constituents, not just a select group.” As of press time, Ward See Ward / 5

A crisp, chilly autumn Monday morning greeted guests gathered on the front lawn of the Adams County Courthouse as the Sycamore Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution hosted ceremonies to commemorate the 50th anniver-
sary of the Vietnam War and to honor those from Adams County who served in the conflict in southeast Asia. Becky Semple of the Sycamore Chapter DAR began the ceremony by welcoming everyone and introducing and thanking all of the invited and special guests, that included five Vietnam veterans from the
county-Joe Rostine, Lawrence Young, Marty Grooms, Bill Conn, and Robert Lewis. Semple led the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance “We are gathered here today to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, “ Semple told the crowd. “We recognize the sacrifices those who
served our nation in this war and to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice with the laying of a wreath at the monument.” After an opening prayer and remarks by Terry DeMint, the American Creed was read by Rose Gill and Adams County Recorder Mark Tolle sang “God Bless the USA”, a patriotic favorite of many. Next to the podium was
the guest speaker for the event, United States Congressman Brad Wenstrup, a veteran himself who serves on the Committee on Veterans Affairs and holds the rank of Lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserves and served a tour in Iraq as a Combat Surgeon. “You veterans are the ones who have stood See DAR / 5

Ohio Can meets in
2017 calendar is starting to take shape Harvest is nearly completed and by the time you read this Thanksgiving may be all done except for the leftovers. If you are a sports fan, and in particular a Buckeye football fan, this is a big week. The team up north comes to Columbus and they are currently ranked 2 and 3, so it should be a good one. However if you are a Bengals fan, you are probably already thinking Reds since the Bengals season is pretty much a done deal with A.J. Green and Giovanni Bernard going down. They were pretty much done before those two injuries, but now it is even less likely they can turn around a poor season. They travel to Cleveland in the next few weeks and the winless Browns may beat them. Well enough about the sports, but the reason for the reference was the upcoming Winter Meetings. For baseball fans this has been a time in early December when teams all meet and is usually a time period for lots of transactions, with trades and free agent signings galore. However, in this case when I refer to winter meetings, I am talking about the OSU Extension meetings for producers. With harvest nearly done and the hauling of grain, planning for next year, and in some cases fertilizer being spread during the outstanding fall weather we have had being the thing on most producers schedules, it allows for educational meetings. There are some still to plan and schedule, but here is a start. Put these dates on your calendar so you do not miss these opportunities, with more to be added for GAP and more.

had not responded to the Defender's request for a comment on her election victory. In his concession statement Worley said, “It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of Adams County for the past four years as a county commissioner. We live in the greatest nation in the world and the power of our democracy comes from the people’s right to freely choose their leaders. While our campaign came up short in this election and we are disappointed with the outcome, I am proud to say that we fought for the people and our shared values and vision for a better Adams County.” Worley expressed appreciation to his supporters and alluded to ongoing developments that may soon impact the lives of every person in Adams county. “I want to thank my supporters from the depths of my heart for their work and support on my behalf, “ he said, “This campaign was never about one person, but about the future and progress of our county. Challenges remain ahead and I wish the new board of commissioners all the very best for the future.” Doubtless, the most pressing of those challenges will spring from the county-wide loss of tax revenue generat-
ed by the Stuart and Killen Power Plants which are potentially slated to cease operation at some point in 2018. Worley said his concern for Adams County's future would remain unaltered by the election results. “The obligation to serve does not end when you take off your military uniform or leave public office,” he said, “It is our duty as citizens to work together to make this county and our nation a more perfect union. I am grateful and honored for the opportunity to have served the people of Adams County.” Ward and senior board member Brian Baldridge will in Jan. 2017 be sworn into their respective commissioner's seats Baldridge was elected to the Jan. 3 seat now held by Commissioner Ty Pell who was appointed by the Republican Central Committee following the resignation of former Commissioner Stephen Caraway. While the central committee has not yet announced their choice of candidates to fill the Jan. 1 seat vacated by Baldridge, insiders surmise that Pell will most likely win the appointment. Provisional ballots also turned the tables in favor of alcohol sales at the Seaman Village 1st Stop Station. The measure, which failed by seven votes (179 – 172) in

the unofficial Nov. 8 ballot count, was approved by voters in the official count - 183 for the Liquor Permit and 180 against. While proponents for alcohol sales argued that the Liquor Permit measures would give a much needed boost to the county's tax revenue base, voters disagreed and rejected seven of the ten requests.

They’re an inspiration to me and I’m honored and privileged to know them. I visited Ronnie and Doris on the Monday before Thanksgiving and Doris commented about how, “People skip right over Thanksgiving anymore. They already have Christmas decorations up in all the stores and people are already looking forward to Black Friday LOREN HARDIN so they STRAIGHT PATHS can go shopping. We used to never think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving used to be as big a deal as Christmas. My Mom always taught us to be thankful. We didn’t have much but we were thankful for what we had. It’s sad how people skip right over Thanksgiving. You should write a column about it.” I told Doris that her comments reminded me of what another patient, George, shared. It was a beautiful summer day and George and I were sitting in his lawn swing when George said, “Do you know what frustrates me? People don’t appreciate things anymore. People are like hogs. An acorn can fall from a tree, hit it on the head, fall to the ground, and a hog will gobble it up without ever looking up to see where it came from.” I asked Doris where and why she thought our culture started losing the spirit of Thanksgiving. Doris thought for a couple min-

Cincinnati, was traveling westbound on Ohio 73 when she fell asleep behind the wheel of her white 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. According to Trooper Timberlake, Strickland's car veered then off the roadway, struck an embankment, and overturned. The accident occurred just east of Jay Bird Road. Strickland was cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control.
utes and replied, “I think it started when they started moving Christmas ahead until it’s taken over Thanksgiving. And Christmas isn’t even about Jesus anymore. It’s all about money. How much the stores can sell. It’s about what we can buy and what we might get. You might say that we’ve lost Thanksgiving to greed. And we might even lose the real Christmas one of these days.” We talked about how greed has stolen Thanksgiving just like “The Grinch that Stole Christmas”. Ronnie commented, “And do you know what can kill you faster than a bullet? Greed! It will kick you right in the butt.” Doris is right isn’t she, “Its sad how we skip right over Thanksgiving”. Don’t you feel it? Somewhere along the way we’ve lost our spirit of Thanksgiving. But how do we recover it? Again I asked Doris for her thoughts and she replied, “I’m only one person but Mom always told us, ‘You need to sweep up around your own back door first, before you start sweeping up around someone else’s.’ And when you do that you usually find that you don’t have any time left to deal with anybody else’s anyway.

Sports Dryden’s Den: Week 12 in the NFL 6
Peebles holds annual Meet the Team Night
THE PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Last Week: 11-3 Season: 89-70-2 Thanksgiving Day: Minnesota at Detroit – The Vikings bashed and harassed Carson Palmer throughout their victory this past Sunday. It was a much needed victory which kept them tied with the Lions in the NFC Scott Dryden North. Guest Columnist
Detroit enters their annual Thanksgiving game in a rare spot – first place. On the season they are 4-1 at home. Shew the kids away, eat quickly, and enjoy a tight physical contest. Matthew Stafford makes key plays when it counts. DET 23 MIN 20 Thanksgiving Day: Washington at Dallas – The turkey day key divisional games continues with a big game in the NFC East. The Redskins have played very well on the offensive side of the ball. They torched the Packers this past Sunday. The Cowboys, winners of nine in a row, may be the team to beat in the NFC. Washington will score some points but the rookie duo of Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott propel the Boys to their 10th straight victory. DAL 34 WASH 27 Thanksgiving Night: Pittsburgh at Indianapolis – A huge game for two .500 teams that are still in division races. The Steelers are tied with the Ravens in the AFC North – the Colts sit a game back in the AFC South. Indy quarterback Andrew Luck may not play and if not, this will be an easy victory for Pittsburgh. If he does play, this should turn into an aerial thriller. Either way, Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown have monster days. PIT 31 IND 27 Tennessee at Chicago – The Titans played very poorly early in their tough home loss to the Colts. However, fans and the team as a whole have to be thrilled with the development and grit of Marcus Mariota. It is almost a must win for Tennessee to stay in the wild card race and possibly even the divisional race. The Bears faltered late versus the Giants. Chicago will keep it close but the running game of the Titans will be the difference. TEN 24 CHI 20 Jacksonville at Buffalo – The Jags are a very bad football team. Team executives have to be concerned about young quarterback Blake Bortles. His development has stagnated. They face a Bills squad who got a big road victory in Cincinnati. Buffalo suffered another injury to their receiver corps which will impact their negatively impact their struggling passing game. In a tight contest, Tyrod Taylor’s legs along with a dominant defensive performance is the difference.

MJH girls host preseason scrimmage BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Pre-season work is continuing for all of the local basketball squads and on Nov. 17, the Manchester seventh and eighth girls squads were in action as they hosted the Portsmouth Lady Trojans in a Thursday evening scrimmage. The Lady Hounds looked sharp in both seventh and eighth grade action, and will be a tough out for any team on their schedule in the 2016-17 campaign. “The girls were excited and anxious to pay and it showed at some times with a little sloppiness,” said
MJH eighth grade girls coach John Kennedy. “That's to be expected and why we scrimmage in the first place, but overall I was pleased with the effort and growth some of the girls have showed over the off season. We have a great bunch of girls and we are excited to get the season started.” The Manchester Junior High girls program is a family coaching affair, with Kennedy's wife Jill handling the seventh grade duties. The MJH girls open regular season play on Nov. 28 at home when they host the Northwest Lady Mohawks.
At “Meet the Team night”, all of the school’s basketball players and cheerleaders were introduced and the Peebles High School cheerleading squad performed an enthusiastic routine to again fire up the Indian faithful who filled the bleachers.
Ohio's young hunters harvest nearly 6,000 deer during Youth Gun Season ODNR PRESS RELEASE
Ohio’s young hunters braved less than ideal weather conditions over the weekend and checked 5,930 whitetailed deer during the two-day youth gun season, Nov. 19-20, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). During last year’s youth gun season, 7,223 whitetailed deer were checked. Youth hunters could pursue deer with a legal shotgun, muzzleloader, handgun or specific straight-walled cartridge rifle and were required to be accompanied by a non-hunting adult during the two-day season. The youth deer-gun season is one of four special youth-only hunting seasons designed to offer a dedicated hunting experience for young hunters. Youth hunting seasons are also available for small game, wild turkey and waterfowl. Ohio offers many more opportunities for
hunters of all ages to pursue deer. The deergun season is Monday, Nov. 28, through Sunday, Dec. 4, and Dec. 17-18. Deer-muzzleloader season is Saturday, Jan. 7, through Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2017. Deer-archery season is open now through Sunday, Feb. 5, 2017. Find complete details in the 2016-2017 Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations at wildohio.gov. Youth hunters can commemorate their hunt with a First Harvest certificate, available at wildohio.gov. Participants can upload a photo and type in their information to personalize the certificate. Hunters can also share photos by clicking on the Photo Gallery tab online. For summaries of past deer seasons, visit wildohio.gov/deerharvest. The ODNR Division of Wildlife remains committed to properly managing Ohio’s deer popu-
lations. The goal of Ohio’s Deer Management Program is to provide a deer population that maximizes recreational opportunities, while minimizing conflicts with landowners and motorists. A county list of all white-tailed deer checked by youth hunters using a shotgun, muzzleloader, handgun or straight-walled cartridge rifle during the 2016 youth deer-gun hunting season is shown below. The first number following the county’s name shows the harvest numbers for 2016, and the 2015 numbers are in

HEISMAN TROPHY RACE 1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville It’s tempting to move Jackson down a few spots after Louisville’s 36–10 loss at Houston, but it’s important to remember that the sophomore quarterback still ranks second in the ACC in rushing (124.3 ypg), fourth in the league in passing (282.6 ypg) and has a 28to-6 TD-to-INT ratio.
Mike Weber and the Ohio State offense struggled in last week’s win at Michigan State, but the Buckeyes still lead the Big Ten with 493.1 yards per game.

Louisville played its way out of College Football Playoff contention with a 36â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 loss at Houston on Thursday night. The Cardinals (9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 overall, 7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1 ACC) managed a season-low 312 yards of offense and committed three turnovers. Quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 211 yards but was held to 33 yards rushing on 25 attempts.
Ryan and Julio Jones have monster days. ATL 31 ARI 23 New York Giants at Cleveland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Giants struggled a bit versus the Bears but then turned it on. They are within sight of the first place Cowboys, having won five in a row. They will face a winless Browns squad that put forth a miserable effort versus Pittsburgh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the offensive line. Josh McCown will be under center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pray for him. Eli Manning and Odell Beckham, Jr. propel the GMen to 8-3. NYG 31 CLE 20 Los Angeles at New Orleans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jared Goff made his debut in a losing effort. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put up gaudy stats but showed glimpses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially a quick release. The Saints look to bounce back from a tough Thursday night loss. Goff
Vanderbilt took another step toward bowl eligibility with an impressive 38â&#x20AC;&#x201C;17 win over Ole Miss in Nashville. The Commodores, now 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 overall, are in strong position to earn the first bowl invitation of the Derek Mason era even if they lose in the finale to Tennessee thanks to a high APR score.
will makes strides but Drew Brees will be too much. NO 24 LA 17 San Francisco at Miami â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Niners have lost nine in a row. They have one of the worst run defenses in the league which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good recipe facing a run-oriented Dolphins squad. Jay Ajayi will have a monster day keeping the Dolphins in the wild card hunt. MIA 27 SF 16 San Diego at Houston â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Chargers return from their bye week facing a must-win situation. They travel to Houston who will play on a short week (again NFL schedule makers). The Chargers have the capability to make a run for the playoffs. The Texans need a victory to maintain their lead in the AFC South. Expect a tight game with the Bolts pulling off the road upset. SD 31 HOU 27
Kliff Kingsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job security is suddenly a hot topic after Texas Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly lopsided 66â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 loss at Iowa State. The Red Raiders fell behind 45â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 at the half en route to their worst loss since a 66â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 defeat at home against Oklahoma State in 2011. Kingsbury is 12â&#x20AC;&#x201C;23 in Big 12 games in three-plus seasons at his alma mater.
Seattle at Tampa Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Russell Wilson is looking like Russell Wilson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is bad news for the rest of the NFC. Wilson caught a pass and scrambled making big plays in a big win over Philadelphia. The Buccaneers pulled off a big upset in Kansas City which keeps them in the wild card chase. Mike Evans vs. Richard Sherman is mustsee TV. In a tight contest, the Hawks get their fourth victory in a row. SEA 27 TB 23 Carolina at Oakland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Panthers last played on Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Raiders on Monday, another scheduling glitch by the NFL. Carolina will be rested and ready. As of now, their only hope for a return to the playoffs is winning the NFC North â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are two games back. The 8-2 Raiders are flying high.

Derek Carr is playing very well. This will be a fun game. Cam Newton leads the Panthers to the upset victory. CAR 27 OAK 24 New England at New York Jets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Patriots got back into the win column with an easy victory at San Francisco. They are facing a stiff test from the Raiders for home field advantage. With or without Gronk, they should have a relatively easy time with the Jets. New York sits at 3-7, yet inexplicably will stick with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tom Brady has another big day. NE 31 NYJ 20 SNF: Kansas City at Denver â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This will no doubt be a defensive tilt in a pivotal battle between old rivals. Both KC and Denver are 7-3, one game behind the Raiders. All was going well for Andy Reid and the Chiefs, then they
were stunned at home by Tampa Bay. The Broncos return from their bye week poised for the stretch run. In a slobber knocker, the Kansas City defense makes enough plays to pull off the upset. KC 20 DEN 17 MNF: Green Bay at Philadelphia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Packers lost in bad fashion on Sunday night. Their defense is one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst. Aaron Rodgers is playing well but will face a much more difficult challenge in Philadelphia. Carson Wentz has played like a rookie of late which is somewhat expected. However, the talent is obvious. Green Bay must win to have any shot at the playoffs, the Eagles are almost in the same boat. The Philly defense is the difference. PHI 27 GB 24
Finding those Woolly Bear Caterpillars in November 8 West Union People’s Defender
BY FAYE MAHAFFEY OSUE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER
I am not sure who is more unhappy about the weather change, me or the Woolly Bear Caterpillars? As I worked in the barn the other day I kept finding Woolly Bear Caterpillars curled up in corners and under the work bench. I think I moved the same caterpillar several times. He kept crawling back to the same location as the day progressed. Evidently he thought he had found the perfect spot to hibernate for the winter. According to a Penn State Extension newsletter there are several species of Woolly Bear Caterpillars, so named for their fuzzy appearance and winter hibernating habits. They range in color from all black to all white, some with bands, but all with bristly hairs which serve as protection against predators such as birds. Although some caterpillars have stinging hairs which can be quite painful to the touch, woolly bears are safe to touch. When handled, woolly bears curl up into a tight fuzzy ball and “play dead”. The woolly bear of the dogbane tiger moth is light brown, the hickory tiger moth caterpillar has white and black hairs, the giant leopard moth’s woolly bear is all black with small red bands,
