Community effort erects town clock
S bridge to be replaced on Graces Run Road
Local business organization helps fulfill one woman's wish to give her home town a lasting legacy BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Peebles has a new town clock. Standing on the corner of Main and Vine Streets, the black 12' Howard Replica pole clock has become the focal point of the town's village green. The clock's installation marks the culmination of a year-long fund raising effort by members of the Peebles Area Business Association (PABA). Spearheaded by the organization's Secretary, Sharon Malcom, PABA began winding up their clock drive in July 2015. “It was Sharon's dream and her vision to have this clock as a lasting legacy for the town” said PABA member, Sis McCoy. McCoy said that after Malcom suffered a severe stroke in January 2016, the members of PABA were determined to make her vision a reality: “Sharon worked so hard to get this clock, we knew we had to finish the job for her and the town.” The $13,000 two-face clock was built by the Verdin Company in Cincinnati, the oldest bell
and clock makers in America. PABA members donated $4,000 to the clock fund and the local community raised an additional $6,000 through individual contributions. A final contribution of $3,000 by the Hanson Aggregates Company topped off the drive and the clock was delivered to the town in early August. Local contractor Lonnie Ward donated time and materials to erect the clock, and Steve Ryan of Ryan's Monuments donated a black granite plaque that will be affixed to the clock's base. Since the group's formation in 1989, PABA members have worked to serve the interests of the Peebles community. In addition to sponsoring the annual Hometown Christmas celebration, they purchased the town's live Christmas tree, the Nativity scene, and the holiday street decorations. They also provided the wooden barrels on Main Street that hold flowers through the spring and summer months. PABA member Jack McCoy says the organiza-

Rural roads shared by horse-drawn buggies, tourists, local traffic, and commercial truckers can create a unique set of problems for the county highway department, especially when GPS technology is thrown into the mix. According to Adams County Engineer David Hook, semi trucks traveling into the county's Amish area are being guided by GPS onto Graces Run Road where they're encountering a narrow twisting S-bridge. “It's been a hazard since the Harshaville Covered Bridge was completed and GPS came into being,” says Hook. “A lot of truckers are trying to use that road and they're getting stuck because they can't make the turn onto the bridge.” The regular occurrence of semi trucks listing off the roadway after becoming entangled in the bridge's guard rails convinced Hook to turn to the county's Economic &
Community Development (ACECD) office for solutions. “The businesses being effected by this road issue are the Amish businesses which bring in tourism,” said ACECD Director Holly Johnson. “One of the jobs the Board of County Commissioners has charged our office with is to help increase travel and tourism, but before we can do that we have to improve the infrastructure, and we do that by helping the county engineer's office with the funding it needs to improve the roadways.” Working together, Johnson and Hook successfully procured enough grant money to not only straighten the bridge on Graces Run Road, but also to make repairs to several roadways leading into the Wheat Ridge area. The Graces Run bridge project is not the first collaboration between the County Engineer's office and the ACECD office. Hook's department is historically underfunded, sur-

Some people remember him as spirited, funloving and lively, others remember him as quiet and methodical with a quirky sense of humor. Some recall him as stern at times, but with a deeply loving and generous nature, others still remember him as all of these and more. Whether loved ones knew him nearer the beginning of his life, nearer the end, or across all the years in between, they will miss him dearly. However, they take comfort in knowing that perhaps he is somewhere with his mother, enjoying the sights of Cardinals and Red Maples, the sounds of his favorite classic rock, or simply once again taking a walk in the country. Regardless, he is free. Fly high, Free Bird.

Winchester Happenings BY JOYCE PORTER AND FLORENCE BRYSON
It seems strange to not have the Homecoming Festival to cover but no fear, we have the upcoming Halloween Carnival which will be Oct. 28 following Trick or Treat. We will have a planning meeting on Thursday evening, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. We will also have election of officers that evening so if you are interested in being part of the committee, please let me know. More information will be provided in the next few weeks. It doesn’t seem possible that it will soon be autumn. I also want to thank the many volunteers, donors and sponsors who supported this year’s festival. We had a good team that worked well together although some are suggesting we need some younger people next year. Bob Birchfield, age 75, passed away on Sept. 7. He was born in Winchester, the son of the late Raleigh Birchfield and Bonnie (Coomer) Kingsland. Bob was a life time farmer and avid fisherman. He was a graduate of Winchester High School.

Winchester’s Past (Florence Bryson): Jefferson Allen Wheatley came to Winchester about 1920 after the death of his wife in 1919. He bought the farm and big brick house built by Dr. Nobel that is on the left of the railroad crossing on 136. Of his nine children, five came to Winchester when he did. One daughter died in 1906, another was married and living in Cincinnati but when her husband died she came to Winchester also. Two sons, Leonard and Walter were married and stayed in Kentucky. Jefferson Allen passed away in 1926 at the age of 88. He was taken to Sardis, Kentucky for burial. His nephew Jefferson Montgomery Wheatley, the son of his brother William, brought his wife and youngest daughter to Winchester and they were listed in the1930 census. The daughter Myrtle was already married to Clarence Gallimore. They were Bonnie Gallimore Corboy's parents.

Save time and help pollinators BY FAYE MAHAFFEY OSUE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER
Have ever considered planting pollinator habitats where you would normally mow? Creating pollinator habitats in ditches, waterways, and other areas not in crop production on farm ground can help free up your time and help pollinators too. According to a recent Successful Farming article. “All farmers have places they mow. These areas are the perfect environment for warm-season grasses and forbs.� While there’s an upfront investment, these habitats need minimum upkeep once they are established. Whether it’s one acre or 10 acres, it will help to increase the population of beneficials, such as honeybees, wild bees, or other insect pollinators, plus, it will reduce time spent mowing. It’s not just honeybees that will benefit from pollinator habitat-monarchs will too. Monarch caterpillars only eat milkweed, without it, they can’t survive. Not only that, monarch butterflies also rely on milkweed for laying their eggs, according to Bob Hartzler, Iowa State University Extension weed specialist. I can remember my Dad working hard to eradicate Milkweed from our cattle pastures. As I tend to my Milkweed patch I am sure that my Dad is looking down at me and shaking his head in disbelief. We just didn’t realize what the impact of wide spread use of glyphosate and Roundup Ready crops would have. Pollinator mixes available through the NRCS contain forb, legume, and grass seed to add diversity and struc-
bogus contact information. Check the venue's ticket policies. Find out how tickets are being sold and what kind of tickets will be accepted at the event. Increasingly, a number of venues and events primarily use electronic tickets. However, if you're trying to buy a paper ticket, take steps to make sure it's real. Inspect both sides of the ticket, and be aware that some ticket scammers create counterfeit tickets that look legitimate even though they are not. Be skeptical of offers that are too good to be true. Sellers on Craigslist or other sites may offer tickets at face value (or below) for events that are sold out or highly in demand, but the offers may be scams. Some scammers also provide phony explanations for why they need to sell tickets quickly for a good price. For example, they may falsely claim to have a family emergency or to be in the military. Consider paying with a credit card. If a problem arises, you generally have greater ability to dispute credit card charges versus other forms of payment. Be skeptical of sellers who say you must pay via wire transfer, prepaid money card, or gift card. These are preferred payment methods for scam artists, because once payment is provided, it is very difficult to recover. Report suspected scams. If you think you've sent money to a scam artist, immediately contact the payment system you used. For example if you wired the money, contact the wire-transfer company. (In rare cases, payment can be stopped before it's picked up in a scam.) Also flag suspicious posts online. Suspicious Craigslist ads can be reported to the Ohio Attorney General's Office directly from Craigslist. For more information, consumers should contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office at www.OhioProtects.org or by calling 800-282-0515.

THEIR VIEW The truth behind the Zika funding delays Fears are rising as the Zika virus has become a national concern. Nearly three months ago, my colleagues and I in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to help combat the virus, which is borne by mosquitos and can cause serious birth defects and other conditions if contracted during pregnancy. Yet Americans are still waiting for relief. Why? Because Senate Democrats refused to pass this bill before going home for the August District Work Period. Passing our bill should have been simple. Republicans and Democrats agree on the problem. To date, hundreds of pregnant women in the United States and territories have shown signs of the Zika virus. Countless others live in fear of being infected. Republicans and Democrats also agree on the solution: targeted federal funding can bolster efforts to prevent the virus, including mosquito control and the development and commercialization of vaccines. The solution was swift
and simple: the House of lates a more logical and Representatives passed a effective approach — balanced, bipartisan, sending Zika virus defense bicameral bill that would funding to hospitals, comhave provided $1.1 billion munity health centers, for Zika prevention state health departments, efforts. and Medicaid.

The bill stipubeen eligible for additional
funding to combat the spread of Zika.” Senate Democrats had a choice: they could pass much-needed legislation or they could engage in political theater in defense of one of their loudest and most politically powerful allies. They chose political theater, and, sadly, used the phrase “women’s health” as a weapon to deny women and their unborn children true protection. They chose to fight for Planned Parenthood instead of those afflicted with the Zika virus. More than six weeks have passed since that vote, and every day the Senate fails to act places more women and children at risk. The Senate is prepared to take up this legislation again soon. I appeal to my colleagues to lay aside political calculations. The problem is clear, and the solution is ready. Do the right thing and pass this bill to fight this public health crisis. Brad Wenstrup is a United States Representative from the state of Ohio.
It’s all a matter of perspective I stumbled upon an old Facebook post today from December of 2012, and the reminder came to me at exactly the time I needed it. It said: Ben got up before I did and hung up all the stockings for me, but only after he drew all over them with a Sharpie. I was mad, but someone told me, "When you're old and gray you'll look back on those stockings and remember your little boy." So true. Such a good reminder to not sweat the small stuff. If anything, it just made a memory. Today, I'm just going to enjoy them being little. It also made me stop to think about how many other instances I turned a potentially happy moment into a bad one because I made a big deal out of nothing. Or sometimes I just get caught up in work and schedules and making dinner and cleaning the house and breaking up fights between the kids that I get frustrated and angry and can’t seem to shake a bad mood. Sometimes I wish I could just get through a day without all of the nonsense. But today I was reminded how fragile life can be. I promised myself that I will quit wishing my life away. Maybe I need to just take pause for a moment and let the wise words of my friend sink in. Did it really matter if the stockings had marker on them? No. In fact, the childish handwriting with a black Sharpie was his attempt to put our names on fuzzy white material. That’s hard for anyone to do. It just captured the fact that he was trying to sur-

mercy, patience and humility, seeing our own flaws reflected back from another person and admitting to our mistakes sure does have a way of softening a heart. I look through old pictures and think back to when my kids were much smaller and think how much I’d like to have those moments back. And then I realize that one day in the future I will be looking through a photo album and want these moments back. These. Right now. The ones where our family is all here to sit around the campfire together and find sticks in the yard to roast marshmallows to make s’mores. The ones where we all laugh when my 5 year old nephew snuck away from a hide-n-seek game, but continued to cover his eyes and count while he peed on a tree. The ones where my teenage kids always come up to hug me goodnight, and then choose to spend the end of every evening talking with me about their day. The ones where the little ones still ask for me to tuck them in and say bedtime prayers. The ones where my husband and I can sit together and hear the children giggle from the next room. The ones where I’m woken in the middle of every night because a little one wants to sleep in my ‘nook.’ These little day to day things that seem so routine now will be the exact things that I miss later in life. Look for the blessings, friends. We don’t have forever, but we have right now. Make it enough.
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, It is my understanding that there will be several alcohol issues on the ballots here in the county in our next election in November. Having personal experience as a young boy growing up in a home with an alcoholic, I feel that I should share some things that I haven't shared before, so the public will have some knowledge of what alcohol can do when it is brought into the home and takes control. Some have heard the old statement: "First the man takes a drink, and then the drink takes a drink, and
then the drink takes the man." Some don't realize the power of alcohol and all the damage it has done in homes across the land. I've heard all the curse words that can come from a person under the influence of alcohol. I've seen the anger it produces when that person is crossed, or things don't go their way. I've seen the destruction of the family car from drunk driving. I've seen the struggle of trying to put food on the table for the family when so much of the paycheck has gone into buying alcohol.
I've seen the heartbreak of my mother as she tried her best to handle the terrible things that alcohol can do to a home. When I was just a young boy, I determined in my heart that I never wanted anything to do with alcohol of any kind, seeing all the hurt it produces. I wouldn't want to dishonor my parents in anyway, nor would I want to trade them for any other Mom and Dad in the world. I love them both dearly, but I write this to inform you that alcohol can take control of a person, and bring about things that they wouldn't normally do
or say. My wife and I were married awhile before I saw my father get released and away from alcohol, by coming to the Lord. When he died, he was the moderator of his church organization, and I long to see him again someday. Think about the home when you go to the polls in November, think of the children and impact your vote may make on their lives. Let the Lord lead you as you place your mark on the ballot.

From page A1 viving on motor vehicle and gas tax monies. The County Engineer's budget hasn't budged since 2006 even though the department's costs have doubled. “I have less and less money each year,” says Hook, who is also restrained by strict government guidelines. Johnson and the ACECD make up for the shortfalls. “We have to be very creative in our efforts to help the Engineer's office find financing,” said Johnson, who worked with Hook for over a year to put the grant-funding application together. “We were able to apply for competitive set-aside grants and the Critical Infrastructure Grant because this bridge fit perfectly into the description requirements of both grants.” Additionally, Hook applied for a grant through the Ohio Public Works Funds which finances upgrades and improvements on roadways. His department has already begun work making repairs to the pavement on
Graces Run Road, Wheat Ridge Road, Tater Ridge Road and Unity Road, all of which are access points to the Amish area. “Once we get the repairs made we'll resurface and actually add new guard rails in places to create additional safety, especially approaching the bridge,” said Hook. “This is how two offices can plan and work together to make great things happen,” said Johnson. “This was key to the success of this project.” Work on the Graces Run bridge is expected to begin next spring. The current
bridge is 17 feet wide and 65 feet long. When the $3,000,000 project is completed the new bridge, which will measure 28 feet wide and nearly 80 feet long, is expected to alleviate some of the congestion leading into the Amish community. “We have to consider the mix of tourist traffic, local traffic, buggy traffic, bicycle traffic and delivery truck traffic and how they all mesh together on these roadways,” said Hook. “Upgrading this bridge will add a whole new access point to the Amish community on Wheat Ridge.”
Solace of Adams County meeting twice a month Solace of Adams County, a local community group that supports individuals who have suffered the loss of a loved one to drugs, will meet on the second and fourth Friday of every month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the second floor Conference Room of the Adams County Regional Medical Center.

Peebles Elementary PTO makes plans for 2016-17 school year The Peebles Elementary PTO is an organization with which the school is very proud to be affiliated. This organization is comprised of parents of students who attend PES. They are highly involved in the operations of the school and actively host and/or participate in many of the events held within the school. The goals of the school’s parent-teacher organization (PTO) coincide with those of the school. The purpose of the PTO as stated in their by-laws is to “work
together with the teachers and parents toward the common goal of improving the educational environment and helping to provide the learning tools needed to better educate the students of Peebles Elementary School”. Other intentions are for all students to have a positive school experience and find joy in attending school on a daily basis. The PTO facilitates a great deal of fund raising which is in turn utilized to purchase student rewards, provide teacher incentives, and host activities
throughout the school year. As a result of last year’s Fall Book Fair hosted by the PTO, Peebles Elementary was recognized for selling 624 books and providing an estimated 112,320 minutes of independent reading at the school. This is exciting news. It is thrilling that the school’s PTO can have that deep of an impact on the academics of students and their love of learning. Almost daily, PTO officers and/or volunteers are at the elementary school working hard to create an
Adams County Library News BY JESSICA DOOLEY Six members of the Raines family of Seaman gathered at the North Adams Public Library to honor the memory of local World War II hero John F. Raines. His family donated the book “Wrong Place! Wrong Time!” by George C. Kuhl to the North Adams Library, which describes John F. Raines’ bravery and service to his country during World War II. The family recounts: “Taken as a POW on his first mission in the 2nd Schweinfurt Raid on Oct.14, 1943, he survived 18 months in captivity and finally returned, weary but safe, to his family near Seaman, Ohio at the end of the war.” North Adams Library staff Josh Brown and Julia McCane-Knox received the donation, and the Adams County Public Library thanks the Raines family for their gift. John F. Raines’ military service is commemorated in the military brick tribute project installed by the Friends of the North Adams Library, surrounding the flagpole in front of the North Adams Library. Anyone who wishes to honor a U.S. service member or veteran can sponsor a military tribute brick, inscribed with the service members’ name, branch and dates of service, to be installed under the flagpole. For more information, reach the Friends of the North Adams Library by calling the North Adams Library at (937) 386-2556.

Due to the drastic decline in the population of the Monarch butterfly, the Ohio Pollinator Habitat Initiative (OPHI) is seeking public involvement to collect and drop off common and swamp milkweed seed pods from established plants, Sept.1 through Oct. 30 at collection stations around the state. The seeds will be used to establish new plantings and create additional habitat for the Monarch butterfly throughout Ohio in the coming years. “Common and swamp milkweed is essential to the survival of Monarch Butterflies in Ohio,” said Marci Lininger, biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “Ohio is a priority area for Monarchs. This generation of Monarchs is also responsible for starting the life cycle all over again in the spring and laying the following

pods from milkweed plants will not have any effect on the population of milkweed in established areas. OPHI was formed in response to the 2014 petition to list the Monarch butterfly as federally endangered. Its partners include state of Ohio agencies, universities, corporations, and non-profit organizations. OPHI’s, mission is to inform citizens, landowners, farmers, and government agencies of the importance of pollinators and the habitat they need to survive. Members of the initiative are a core group of professionals that provide education, outreach, and technical assistance to all that have an interest in pollinators and protecting our food supply.

year’s first generation of Monarchs in late summer” “Most Ohio counties have a Milkweed Pod Collection Station – most of them being located at the local Soil and Water Conservation District office,” said Lori Stevenson, Ohio Private Lands coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Seed pods from common or swamp milkweed should be collected when the pods are dry and gray or brown in color. If the center seam pops with gentle pressure, they can be picked. It is best to collect pods into paper bags or paper grocery sacks. Avoid using plastic bags because they can attract moisture and allow mold to develop. Store seeds in a cool, dry area until you can deliver to the closest pod collection area. It is recommended to wear disposable gloves when picking and handling pods. Harvesting seed

Time to Down to last play, change Hounds fall in those heartbreaker soccer Late TD gives CCPA an 18-12 win on the road rules As many of you are already aware, I like to give a hard time to all the soccer aficionados in my audience, explaining to them how dull their game is and how the rules make no sense. Most of this is just good-natured fun on my part, but I still have issues with the rules of soccer, perhaps because of my lack of understanding. To be honest, if it wasn't for North Adams girls coach Dave D'Avignon, I may never be able to write a good soccer story, though I do now know what the term “clean sheets” means Mark and Carpenter Coach D Sports Editor didn't even tell me. To be honest again, I really don't actually watch many soccer games, I just view them through a very tiny lens opening in a camera, following the ball around the field, looking for that magic action photo which will look good on our Sports pages. I do still have to look at the scoreboard, however, and that is where I begin to get aggravated. (High school soccer games are far too long, but that is not for this column.) I think it is time to make some major changes in soccer rules. The rules now are geared to lowscoring, boring games when fans want to see action and scoring, at least this reporter does. Give me a good 9-8 soccer game any day of the week and the very first rule change in high school should be to eliminate all ties. These kids worked hard all week, prepared for a game, and then tied? Really? What fan wants to leave a game, not knowing who won or lost. We are a competitive society, we want winners and losers, not ties. The answer is simpleshootouts! Think about how exciting that would be for the kids and fans to decide ties games with the shootout process. One on one for the win. No one goes home not knowing who won the game, though everyone should get their money back after a tie because they didn't get what they paid for. If the shootout with the kids drags on and on, then bring on the coaches. Who wouldn't love to see Coach Ike Wooten going one on one with Coach Kevin Hunter? Intense! Or how about Coach D'Avignon battling it out with Coach Brian Seaman? Just ideas, folks, but I like them. Here’s another plan to increase scoring- for two minutes of each half, the two teams have to play without a goalie, like hockey teams do at the end of a close game. Think of this sight- a nice long shot is heading towards the goals and a defenseman is racing at his top speed to get there and kick it away, with both teams racing right behind him. Now that would be some soccer fun and make for some great camera shots. Then there is that crazy thing in soccer called off-
BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER After two lopsided losses to begin their 2016 season, the Manchester Greyhounds were back home last Friday night for their home opener, entertaining the Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy Lions. Not only were the Greyhounds searching for their first win, but they were looking to make a successful debut in their newly remodeled and renovated Greyhound Stadium. All those fans in attendance on Friday night, 99.9% of whom were rooting for the home team, definitely got their money's worth. After a first half of football that might only be described as agonizing to watch, the second half turned out to be just the opposite, going all the way down to the final play before the Lions barely held on for an 1812 victory.
The loss on Friday night may have been just as heart-wrenching as last year's loss to Notre Dame, after the Hounds twice battled back in the second half to tie the game, only to see the Lions score the winning touchdown with just 33 seconds left and then the Hounds end the game on the CCPA fiveyard line. The first quarter saw the teams combine for six offensive possessions, three punts and three times the ball was turned over on downs, a quarter of offensive futility or defensive excellence, take your pick. The longest Manchester play was an 11-yard run by quarterback Nick Woolard, and a Greyhound defense that had not played well at all the first two weeks held the Lions to a pair of turnovers on downs and a punt. Early in the second period, the game saw its first turnover as a Woolard

The Hounds turned it over again on their ensuing possession when a Woolard pass was picked off by CCPA's Mylan Hall. With the Hounds' Gavin Baldwin coming up with another big third down sack, the Lions were forced to punt and the Hounds got the ball at their own 28. On a second and eight play, points finally went
up on the scoreboard, but not on the home side. With some miscommunication between Woolard and his receiver, Hall got his second interception in as many possessions and this time he made it count, running it back 40 yards for the score that put CCPA on the board first. The two-point conversion try was stopped and the Lions led 6-0. On their next possession, the Hounds turned it over for the fourth time in the half when a low snap resulted in another fumble recovered by the Lions,
but they gave it right back on their first play from scrimmage, when Hall's long pass was picked off on a nice one-handed grab by the Hounds' Denny Polly. The Greyhounds could do nothing on offense and the first half came to an end with CCPA clinging to the 6-0 advantage. Neither team scored in the third period, though both had long drives that ended in punts. The Hounds got another take-

Dragons roll in county gridiron battle West Union improves to 2-1 with win over North Adams BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER It was an all-county gridiron battle last Friday evening at Freedom Field in West Union as the Dragons played host to the North Adams Green Devils. A large continent of fans from both sides filled the bleachers and
walkways around the field, but it was only the West Union faithful who went home happy as their Dragons rolled to a 44-0 halftime lead, and an eventual 51-0 victory. “Our guys came ready to play tonight,” said West Union head coach Scott McFarland. “They understood the importance of
our local rivalry game with North Adams and had a solid week of practice. We certainly had the advantage with depth but I thought North Adams played very hard and should feel good about their progress as a program.” After going out on downs in their first possession of the game, the Dragons got on the board first when a seven-play drive culminated in a
touchdown pass from quarterback Ryan Rothwell to senior wideout Zack Best. Chris Silhavy ran in the twopoint try to give West Union an 8-0 lead. After a North Adams punt, the home team lit up the scoreboard again, this time on a Silhavy touchdown run. The senior halfback added another two-point conversion to make it 16-0. after the first quarter of action.
The second period began with a turnover by the Green Devils, which the Dragons capitalized on in one play, getting a 40yard scoring pass from Ryan Rothwell to his brother Tyler. This time the two-point try failed, but the Dragons were still building a comfortable lead, now at 22-0. On the next North Adams possession, West Union senior

After surviving severe weather that passed through the Hillsboro area right before the scheduled competition, the West Union squad again “rocked” the mats and were awarded the top prize in the varsity division at the See Soccer / B2 Highland County Fair cheer competition, held on Saturday, Sept. 10.
This Thursday night, Sept. 15, marks the biggest night for junior high football in Adams County as the annual People's Defender Bowl returns. This year's Defender Bowl will be held at Manchester's newly renovated Greyhound Stadium and will again match the junior high Greyhound with the junior high squad
of West Union Dragons. The Dragons are the defending Defender Bowl champions after a 48-20 win in last year's contest, so the Greyhounds will be looking to recapture the sharp-looking trophy, sponsored and provided by The People's Defender.

Senior Mackenzie Smith paced the West Union girls golf team by shooting a 38 as the Lady Dragons broke the course record at the Adams County Country Club. BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER Friday, Sept. 9 turned out to be a record-breaking day for the West Union Lady Dragons golf team as they continued their dominant play in 2016. Playing nine holes on the course at the Adams County Country Club, the Lady Dragons broke the course record for a team score as they shot a total of 164, topping the record formerly held by Peebles with 168. Leading the way for the Lady Dragons was senior Mackenzie Smith, who fired a 38 for the nine holes, a score that included a 2 on her first hole of the day, one of her two birdies on the day. Next in line was sophomore Alex Clark shooting a 39, recording one birdie and three pars. Lindsey Daniel was also on the course for West Union and recorded three pars on her way to carding a 43, while DeAnna Caraway came to the clubhouse with a 44. Lucy
Kersey shot 48, Linda Lynch 59, and Madison Fulton 60 for the Lady Dragons. Competing with the Lady Dragons on their record-setting day were the girls’ teams from Peebles, Eastern Brown, and Fairfield. As they usually are, the Lady Indians were paced by the play of Savannah McCoy, who led her squad by shooting a 43 for the nine holes. Also for Peebles, Nicole Burns shot a 51, Jessica Newman a 58, Katie Setty a 77, and Shay Boldman a 79. Eastern was paced by the duo of Payton Dorsey and Whitney Broughton, both of whom shot 45. Fairfield was led by a 46 from Rachel Shuler. The heavily-favored West Union girls will be in action on Friday, Sept. 16 in the first round of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference Tournament, played at the Hilltop Golf course. The second and final round of the SHAC Tourney will take place on Sept. 23 at Buckeye Hills.
It was a highly successful day on the pitch on Sept. 7 for the West Union boys and girls soccer squads as they went out of conference and welcomed teams from Williamsburg High School and St. Patrick High School.. It was a clean sweep for the Dragons as their boys blanked the Wildcats 6-0, while the West Union girls picked up their first win of 2016, getting past the Lady Saints 32. The boys took the field first and it was the Dragons racing out to a 3-0 halftime advantage, then picked up three more in the second half to roll to a 6-0 triumph. It was a huge offensive day for senior Janson Kramer as he found the back of the net four times for scores. The other two West Union goals came from fellow seniors Ethan Thompson and Tyler Swearingen. “Had it not been for my teammates, I wouldn't have had so many opportunities to score,” said the ever-sohumble Kramer. “Our defense worked hard and communicated well tonight,”said West Union coach Kevin Hunter. “Our keepers Nathan Greene and Colt Parker got the shutout and all our goals were part of our seniors' ability to communicate and share the ball with their teammates. With several injuries and players out, I

Last Wednesday night was a memorable one for West Union senior Janson Kramer, who scored four goals as his team blanked the Williamsburg Wildcats 6-0. had to do a lot of shifting around and we even had to play down at times.” In the girls contest, the Lady Dragons grabbed a 20 halftime lead behind goals from Heidi Hunter and Mikala Wolke. St. Patrick got the first score of the second half but West Union answered when a nice crossing pass from Hunter found teammate Emilee Davis and Davis knocked it home to make it
3-1. The Lady Saints got their second goal of the game on a penalty kick and with darkness setting in, the West Union defense held firm and kept St. Pat out of the net to claim their first win by the final score of 32. “These girls continue to impress me with their work ethic,” said Coach Hunter. “With no one on the bench once again the girls were faced with playing a solid
80 minutes each and tonight their hard work paid off in the form of a win.” Fans wanting to see the West Union squads in action can catch them tonight (Sept. 14) as they host the Mason County Royals and Lady Royals. On Friday, the Dragons are again at home with the monumental task of facing the two unbeaten teams from Lynchburg High School.
