Another Old Timer's Days in the books and successful 2016 festival stays high gear rain or shine BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Festival-goers kept one eye toward the sky last weekend, but the rain that threatened to fall on the Peebles Old Timer's Day Festival held off until Saturday evening. “I think it went pretty well,” said festival chairperson Heather James. “The weather didn't always work out in our favor, but it didn't seem to keep people away. The vendors did a good business, and we had large turnouts for the pageants and the musical venues. I'm so thankful to the community and surrounding businesses for their sup-
port. We couldn't do it without them.” Following Thursday's opening ceremony Sue and Dan Fristoe were named the 2016 Old Timer's Day Couple and the Mrs. Peebles title went to Betty Hedrick. An evening of pageantry followed with Miss Cortney Spires being crowned Queen of the festival, Emily Hudgel won First Runner- Up, Hope Kreml was Second Runner- Up, Kennedi Newman was Third Runner- Up, and Fourth Runner- Up was Jessica Sowards. Hope Brown was crowned the festival's Junior Miss. Rylee

Blanton sentenced to thirty years-to-life on guilty charges BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Denny W. Blanton, Jr. was sentenced Thursday, Sept. 15 to three consecutive prison terms of ten years-to-life by Judge Brett Spencer in Adams County Common Pleas Court. Blanton Jr. was found guilty last month of the Feb. 2016 kidnapping and rape of a minor girl who was running near her home in the Wheat Ridge area. He initially denied knowing or having any contact with the girl, but later changed his story claiming that the incident had been consensual. The stiff penalty imposed by Judge Spencer followed the jury's determination that the former high school football team captain is a violent sexual predator. Before reaching their verdict, the jury
watched the video testimony of psychologist Stuart Bassman, who specializes in sexual deviancy. Prior to sentencing defense counsel called two character witnesses to the stand. Peggy Sowards of Stout told the court that she believed Blanton had been a good role model for younger kids on the Manchester football team, including her own freshman son. Blanton's mother also testified on her son's behalf. Looking sad and tired, she said that her son had always been a respectful boy. “When he did something wrong we punished him and he didn't do it again,” she told the court. Throughout the remainder of the day she sat behind her son, her head bowed low as though in prayer. The defendant's family
members wept openly as he appealed to Judge Spencer for leniency in sentencing. “If you give me a tento-life concurrent sentence, then when I am fit to come home and I'm not a danger to society, then I can come home,” Blanton told the court, his voice cracking with emotion. “If I go to prison and I get treatment, and I become a productive citizen, to where I can function properly in society, then I can get to the point where they'll see that I'm fit to come out. They're not going to let me come out if I'm not fit to be out, but I'm asking you to find it in your heart to give me the opportunity to come home when they see fit for me to come home.” Judge Spencer was not swayed: “It is undeniable that the victim in this case was courageous and truth-
ful in every respect of her testimony,” the judge said. “While, Mr. Blanton, your testimony was completely disingenuous. In fact, this court has never experienced a witness so comfortable at violating the oath of truthfulness as you were.” Seated at the defense table, pale and handcuffed, Blanton showed no emotion as Judge Spencer took him to task. “You lack any sense of remorse,” Spencer added. “Today, you offered no apology to the victim, you offered no apology to the victim's family. Your behavior has been as Dr. Bassman said, 'Me, me, me'.” Blanton Jr. will serve thirty years to life in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction as a Tier III sex offender, and must register as such for the remainder of his lifetime.

Donors for this year included Grace Fraley, Linda Purdin, Shirl Porter, Linda Barnes, Dee Siders, Sarah Hardin, Crystal Harris, Sharon West, Faye Scott, Frances Ward, Naylor Family, and Amber Grier.

Paul Sautter is still a patient at Adams County Regional Medical Center and hopefully will be coming home sometime this week. Ashli Fannin was discharged from U.C. Medical Center on Friday and is at home awaiting the birth of their baby. I just found out this morning that Rita Farley underwent surgery last week and is doing well. Earl and Diane Call are

Help Available to Beat the Heat Weather reports indicate that temperatures will reach almost 90 degrees in the coming days. The Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities and Ohio Development Services Agency want to remind Ohioans that help is available to stay cool during these hot summer days. Ohioans can contact their local Energy Assistance Provider for resources to cool their homes. A list of providers is available at energyhelp.ohio.gov. The Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program runs from July 1 until August 31, 2016 and provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying an electric bill or assistance paying for central air conditioning repairs. Eligible customers may also receive an air conditioner. The program provides assistance to low-income households with an elderly member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member's health. This can include lung disease; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; or asthma. Ohioans must have a gross income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for assistance. For a family of four the annual income must be at or below $42,525. To apply for the program, customers are required to schedule an appointment with their local Energy Assistance Provider. Customers need to bring: • a copy of their most recent energy bill, • a list of all household members and proof of income for the last 90 days for each member • proof of citizenship or legal resident, and • Physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health (if there isn’t a household member over the age of 60). Eligible households can receive up to $300 if they are a customer of a regulated utility, or $500 if they are a customer of unregulated utilities such as electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. The benefit can be a combination of an air conditioner, and/or utility assistance. Utility assistance is applied to a customer’s utility bill or applied to central air conditioning repair costs. Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus Program (PIPP Plus) are not eligible for bill payment assistance through the program but are encouraged to work with Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities to identify other opportunities for assistance. For more information about the features of the Summer Crisis Program locally, contact Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities.

THEIR VIEW
Finding the significance I was cleaning out the car the other day and found a handful of rocks in my cup holder. And another one in the cup holder in the back. And another one in the side door. I noticed more sitting on the work bench in the garage. My daughter saw me starting to throw them out and said, “Stop! You can’t throw that away! That’s the one I picked up the day you and me picked flowers on our breakfast walk.” Ahh, I remembered then. We were in Wisconsin and had gotten up before everyone else. I grabbed my coffee and she grabbed a bucket, and we walked through the woods and picked flowers and caught frogs. The bucket was full of both by the time we got back. The same day I was cleaning out my car here in Ohio, my mom called from the Wisconsin house where we had been a few weeks earlier. She said she found rocks hidden all over the place. So funny! I guess this was just something my kids did that I hadn’t really noticed before. So I started paying attention and realized that there are rocks all over our home. On top of the picture frame in the doorway. In a bowl on the counter. In the pockets of jeans in the laundry. On top of dressers, and in bags on closet floors. Some of them are sparkly or striped, but most are just plain and gray, and not really a rock you would think someone would want to save. I asked the kids about some of them and was sur-
that they love them without prised at their answers. I it being said. True. I’m sure realized that my kids aren’t in most cases they do, espereally crazy rock collectors, cially where a parent and but they have been collecting memories. My youngest child is concerned.

These small little things make such a big difference. We will never regret taking more time with our loved ones, but we might regret the time we wasted looking at our phones or sleeping the day away or passing up invitations to join in. Let’s not be too prideful to let them know their significance in our lives. Remember that old gray rock? My kids could have passed it by and it would have laid there for many years, fairly unchanged. But they didn’t. They saw its significance and picked it up and made a memory out of it. They made it beautiful. We can do the same with those we care about. May we all recognize the importance of a special moment while it’s happening. Hold on to it. Memorize it. Retell it. Note its significance in your life. Make it a part of your story. Have a blessed week,.
Letters to the Editor
Superintendents call for reduced student testing Adams County--It is a call,again, for more local control. The superintendents of twelve K-12 school districts, two career and technology centers, and the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center are joining educational leaders across Ohio in voicing concern that state edicts may continue to provide for extensive overreach in testing and are sending a strong message to state legislators regarding implementation of the recent Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). According to the U.S. Department of Education, ESSA builds on key areas of progress in recent years, as made possible by the efforts of educators, communities, parents, and students across the country. In practice, ESSA was established in part to allow for more statedriven measures on student performance targets and school ratings, with statedeveloped identification and intervention for district accountability. Area superintendents
from Adams, Clinton, Fayette, and Highland Counties, along with hundreds of other public school superintendents around the state, are speaking out to express their recommendations regarding Ohio's plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act and committing themselves to the following beliefs: • Public education is a critical component of an informed democracy. • Public education serves each and every one of our students who represent the diversity of our communities. • Locally controlled public education with governmental support is valued over public education dominated by government regulations. The principal architects of the locally controlled education system in Ohio should be community members – including parents, principals, teachers, students, school board members and superintendents. Current federal testing
requirements include reading and math in grades 3—8 and one high school test. The state of Ohio, however, expands upon those minimum requirements to include testing in reading, math, science, and social studies in grades 5—8 and also requires multiple endof-course exams for high school. Our message is simple: reduce testing to the federal requirements. Let our teachers teach. Let our children learn. Let our Boards of Education have local control. The Superintendents of Adams, Clinton, Fayette, and Highland Counties urge community members to speak out for our students by contacting your state legislators and sharing with them the importance of reestablishing local control of public education. For more information regarding ESSA and Ohio's plan for every student, please contact your state legislator. Signed by the following

Adams County Library News BY JESSICA DOOLEY The Adams County Public Library is supported by non-profit Friends of the Library groups that benefit each of our libraries through their volunteer fund raising activities, including used book sales and member donations. This summer, the Friends of the North Adams Library reached out to support another library system in dire need. In June, the Rainelle Public Library of West Virginia was devastated by flooding, filling the inside of the Rainelle Library will more than five and a half feet of river water. The Rainelle Public Library Book Drive, a local non-profit group, formed to collect books donated from around the United States to help re-fill the shelves of the Rainelle Public Library. The Friends of the North Adams Library reached out to the Rainelle Public Library Book Drive, and arranged to send a dona-
tion of hundreds of books contributed by the Friends of the North Adams Library, Friends of the West Union Library, Friends of the Manchester Library, and the Peebles Magazine Club. Books included items removed from each library’s shelves to make way for new items, and books donated by community members. Friends of the North Adams Library members Ronnie and Brenda Shupert drove a cattle trailer loaded with donated books from Seaman, to Rainelle. The books were gratefully received by the volunteers organizing the Book Drive, and will be given to the Rainelle Public Library when it reopens. To learn more about how your local Adams County Public Library support group, and how you can become a member or help support the library, call your local library, or visit adamscolibrary.org/friends. On Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 5:30 p.m., Cornerstone
Paranormal will visit the North Adams Library to share about their investigations into paranormal phenomena. Come see photos from investigations, observe the scientific equipment used to record and measure phenomena, listen and share experiences, and uncover the logic behind the not-sosinister. Cornerstone Paranormal is a group of investigators from many backgrounds, including scientists, police officers, EMTs, and others dedicated to collecting evidence and observing unexplained phenomena, and finding the science behind it.

Tire Amnesty Day is Oct. 8
Join the Seniors in the Seaman Fall Festival Parade BY TERESA CARR PUBLIC RELATIONS

The Adams-Clermont Solid Waste District is sponsoring a free scrap tire collection event on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Adams Waste and Recycling located at 95 Trefz Road in West Union. This event is to help clean up scrap tires in the community and may be the last free opportunity to do so. Businesses and individuals that generate tires as their normal course of business are not eligible as this is not a program to subsidize used tire shops and trucking companies. Tires on rims and agricultural tires will be accepted. If you have questions call (513) 732-7745.
Fall is a great time to mulch PRESS RELEASE "I know we're supposed to do something to our trees in the fall, but what?" Tree owners often feel compelled to spray, prune or apply something to their trees and landscape plants on a regular basis. But, unless there is a specific reason to spray, prune or apply things to landscape trees, the best thing to "do" to keep your trees healthy is apply a layer of composted mulch. "Fall is a great time to be out in the yard spreading shovels-full of composted woodchip mulch under your trees," says Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP* and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association. "Trees with mulched root zones are usually larger, healthier, develop faster and have higher rates of survival than plants surrounded by turf grass or bare dirt. Mulches retain soil moisture and nutrients and reduce erosion and soil compaction." Mulched trees also have fewer weeds growing near the trunk, which reduces the need for the roots to compete for limited resources. The soil under the mulch also likely stays warmer longer into the winter and also warms faster in the spring, helping extend the growing season for plants in colder regions. Natural mulches are a favorite among professional arborists, who view wood chips as an excellent, attractive mulch for trees. Other natural mulches include bark chips, ground bark, composted lawn clippings, leaves and straw. These mulches are high in cellulose and low in nitrogen, and should be free of weed seeds. Good mulching How Wide is Wide? A good mulch bed should extend out at least three feet from a tree's trunk in all directions, though extending out to the dripline is preferred. This is where the fine, absorbing tree roots extend out into the soil, and mulch provides many healthrelated benefits for those roots. Keep all mulches several inches away from the base of the tree to avoid rot and diseases. How Deep is Deep? The mulch bed depth should be maintained at 2 to 4 inches. Go Ahead, Cover the Grass! If there is grass in the area that needs to be mulched, put a five-page layer of newspaper over the grass, get it wet, then add mulch on top (this will help keep the grass from growing up through the mulch). Use the Right Mulch. For poor soils, use wellcomposted mulch to build up the nutrients. Soils that are healthy will do fine with a highly stable soft-

wood bark (such as cypress bark), which doesn't break down as easily. Measure the pH content. Checking the pH content of the mulch ensures it is compatible with the tree and soil. Bad mulching No Volcanoes, Please! The biggest no-no when mulching is to create a "mulch volcano" that is piled high around the base of the tree. This practice traps moisture around the tree trunk and root flare leading to decay and, eventually, structural failure. Avoid Fine Mulch. Thick blankets of fine mulch can become matted and prevent the penetration of water and air. Don't Let Mulch Sour. Low oxygen levels (from packed mulch) creates a toxic "sour" mulch which may give off pungent odors. Even worse, the compounds produced during the souring process (methanol and acetic acid) can kill young plants. Don't Keep Adding New Mulch on Top of the Old. While mulch does decompose, you do not want to accumulate excessive
mulch year after year by adding fresh mulch every spring. If you want the look of fresh mulch, break up the old with a rake, and only add a layer of new on top if there is less than 4 inches in depth.

‘Ready, Steady, Balance: Prevent Falls in 2016’ BY PAMELA MATURA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AREA AGENCY ON AGING DISTRICT 7 Sept. 22 is National Falls Prevention Awareness Day. Along with our Friends at the National Council on Aging (NCOA), we want to share three goals of the NCOA’s “Ready, Steady, Balance: Prevent Falls in 2016” theme: 1) Be Ready: Education is the most important step to being ready to prevent a fall. Online and at thousands of community organizations, there are resources to help older adults understand their risk of falling. They can also enroll in evidence-based falls prevention programs to learn how to address their fear of falling and what they can
do to sustain their strength. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 is proud to offer the “A Matter of Balance” falls management program. Call us at 1-800-582-7277 to learn more and to find out when the program is coming to a community near you. 2) Be Steady: Older adults can be steady if they take simple steps to prevent falls. These include talking with a doctor about medications, having hearing and vision checkups, and assessing living spaces for hazards. 3) Be Balanced: “Falls
prevention is a team effort that takes a balance of education, preparation, and community support,” said Kathleen Cameron, Senior Director of NCOA’s National Falls Prevention Resource Center. “Falls Prevention Awareness Day is an opportunity to take a look at the world around us, be aware of falls hazards, and think about how we can make changes that will help our parents, grandparents, aging neighbors, and even ourselves safe from falls. The AAA7 is also a proud partner of the STEADY U Ohio initiative, the state’s older adult falls prevention initiative. Falls among older Ohioans have reached epidemic proportions; one in
three older adults will fall this year, and falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits, hospitalizations and deaths among our elders. A single fall can change the life not only of the person who falls, but also his or her family members who may have to become a caregiver for their loved one. The good news is that falls are not a normal part of aging, and most falls can be prevented. For more information, log on to http://aging.ohio.gov/steady u/ For more information about the Matter of Balance falls prevention program or about long-term care resources in your community, call our Agency at 1800-582-7277, or e-mail info@aaa7.org.

Just use your imagination Are you disorganized? Have you read a bunch of get organized books in the hopes of cleaning up your act, but you’re still in a mess? According to Amazon, there are 4,939 titles in print on the subject and not one result matched for “using your imagination to get organized.” You probably already know being organized is simply about routines and habits, so if you’re disorganized, you just haven’t found the motivation to do it. If you are disorganized you know it affects every area of your life: your health and fitness, appearance, finances, relationships and even your spiritual life. By getting a handle on organization you’ll be able to improve in all areas of your life. All you need are a few scenarios to jump start your imagination and help you put entertainment and drama into your otherwise humdrum, boring, uneventful or maybe even sad life, by turning mundane tasks into high adventures . . . until they become automatic habits. Getting organized is more about MIND management then it is about TIME management. Our minds are the key to our success in getting and staying organized. William James, a famous philosopher said: “Things are not as they are, but as we are.” Our job then is to approach our problem with a new way to see our situation. Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” So let’s start using our fabulous imaginations to put a new spin on our circumstances and get organized just for the fun of it.
● Sweeping the floor is much more fun if you pretend you are on television and you’re doing a commercial demonstrating how easy your Swiffer sweeper picks up Pam Young dust and Getting crumbs. Organized Turn any household task, washing dishes, windows or the toilet into “commercial mode” and you are the spokesperson. ● If your kids are small and they misbehave, pretend they are someone else’s children you are babysitting. It’ll help to keep your cool and keep from exploding. Also pretend you are caring for them behind a two-way mirror and an agent from child protective services is on the other side. ● Turn cleaning your bedroom into a great archeological dig. What if every dirty sock you picked up you pretended was really a priceless artifact and worth millions of dollars? ● You could pretend to be Scarlett O’Hara and Ashley Wilkes spent the night while Rhett was away and now you’ve got to get your bedroom cleaned up before Rhett gets home in ten minutes. ● With your marvelous imagination you can turn a simple walk into a horseback adventure over rugged mountains on the Oregon Trail or turn drying your dishes into magic-genielamp rubbing.
● You can pretend you are a rich queen in the 1600s and you are the only one in the world with electricity, therefore all of your appliances and modern conveniences are absolute miracles. ● Imagine up a twin to help you! How much more fun would it be if you had a clone who looked just like you? Divide your room in half and split the work with your twin. After 15 minutes trade sides! You can even be disgusted with how little work your twin did, or not. ● It’s errand day and you have to go to the grocery store, post office, dry cleaners and the bank. Pretend you are a famous, sexy, gorgeous movie star (you choose the star) in a disguise that looks like you. Your movie star choice gets to be you for the day and experience the joy of anonymity and the freedom from fans’ stares, autograph hounds and interruptions that go along with being famous. You get to imagine being that movie star in a disguise. That means you have to carry yourself like the star, buy the food you think a star with that body would eat and feel stardom as you go about your commonplace errands. Once you get started using your imagination, it’ll come up with more ways to have fun with the ordinary, mundane tasks of the homemaker. For more go to www.cluborganized.com. You’ll find many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos and more, all from a reformed SLOB’s point of view.

2016 Defender Bowl Champions
Dragons top Manchester in Defender Bowl battle, 28-22 Three-peat for West Union junior high squads BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER It was an exciting night for everyone involved last Thursday evening at Greyhound Stadium in Manchester. A battle between a pair of junior high football squads, the host Greyhounds and the visiting West Union Dragons, would determine
the winner of the 2016 Adams County People's Defender Bowl, allowing them to take home the beautiful trophy and hold bragging rights for another year. With so much at stake in this backyard rivalry, the fans in attendance got a great performances by both teams in a tight game that wasn't fully decided
Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender
You may not tell by looking, but this pass was actually intended for a Manchester receiver, but broken up by West Union’s Ashton Barr during action from last week’s Defender Bowl.
until the final quarter. Behind four touchdowns from Briley Thomas, the Dragons held on and made it a three-peat, their third Defender Bowl win in a row, topping the Greyhounds by a final count of 28-22. “We played our hardest against a Manchester team that is very good,” said West Union head coach Bobby Sandlin on the field after the win. “It was an amazing game and we gave it our best and came together as a team. I want to thank West Union football and Manchester for having us” Pointing to the Defender Bowl trophy clutched in his arms, Sandlin added, “We gave maximum effort and gt a maximum reward.” With the periods only being eight minutes long in junior high football, the time can go rather quickly, especially when teams rely on their ground games as these two did for the first period. Manchester had the game's first possession and held the ball for seven plays, before a pass on fourth and seven fell incomplete, turning the ball over on downs to the Dragons. The West Union offense went nowhere in three plays and were forced to punt and the Hounds ended up with good field position at the West Union 44, but their offense couldn't produce 10 yards and the Hounds punted again, but this time
got the game's first break. The Greyhound punt bounced and hit West Union's Ashton Barr, and was recovered by the Hounds' Alex Walters, now setting up the home team in even better position at the WU 25, but that good fortune was fleeting when on the first play from scrimmage, Manchester quarterback Dakota Grooms lost the ball and it was picked up off the ground by Thomas, who promptly took it 82 yards down the sideline for the game's first touchdown.. A two-point conversion pass was hauled in by Cameron Howell and the Dragons led 8-0. The next Manchester offensive series led to another special teams miscue by the Dragons as the WU defense forced another punt and this one was muffed by Thomas and recovered by Manchester's Walters again, giving the Hounds the ball at the West Union 37. This time the home team would capitalize, as they drove the 37 yards in eight running plays, the final two yards coming when bruising running back Trey Spears dragged tacklers into the end zone for the score. Grooms ran across the two-point conversion with 48.9 seconds left and the first half ended with the score deadlocked at 8 apiece. There are no kickoffs in junior high football so teams begin their possessions at their own 35 yard line, which is where the Dragons set up shop to begin the second half.
Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender
West Union’s Briley Thomas, left, outraces Manchester’s Caleb Wortman to the end zone for his third touchdown in the Dragons’ 28-22 win in last Thursday’s Defender Bowl. Four plays later, they were back in the lead. A short dump-off pass on a fourth and six play from quarterback Brian Hunt to Thomas resulted in a 61yard touchdown and when Jimmy Wallingford bulldozed over the two-point try, it was 16-8 West Union. Not to be outdone, the Hounds took over on their 35 and took just one play to change the numbers on their side of the scoreboard. A 65-yard touchdown run by quarterback Grooms on the first play from scrimmage put the Hounds within two, but the two-point try was stopped, leaving the Dragons up 16-14. The Greyhounds got a golden opportunity to take the lead when the Dragons fumbled the ball away
again, this time recovered by Manchester's Rylan Bailey, giving the home team the ball at the Dragon 25, but four plays produced a holding penalty and a fourth down run that failed to produce the necessary yardage and the ball went back to West Union. The Dragons took full advantage of their defense's work, going 75 yards in just three plays, easily done when the third of those plays was a 62 yard touchdown scamper around left end by Thomas, the third time he had found the end zone in the game. The conversion attempt was stopped, but the visitors had stretched their lead to 22-14 as the

Lady Dragons grab early lead in SHAC Tourney, final round is coming Friday BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER After the boys had gotten in their first two rounds of action, it was time for the girls' golf squads of the Southern Hill Athletic Conference to show off their talents as the six competing teams this fall gathered at Hilltop Golf Course for Round One of the 2016 SHAC Tournament. Going into Friday's nine holes of play, it was no big secret that the girls from West Union High School, who have been dominating opponents since the season began, were the heavy favorites in the SHAC. The Lady Dragons did nothing on Friday to dispel that, shooting a team total of 175 to take a commanding 21stroke lead over second place Eastern Brown after
nine holes, and with nine holes left to play. It is a little easier to build up a big advantage when your team has four of the six top spots on the leader board at the end of the day, which is exactly what West Union has. The top golfer of the day and medalist was Lady Dragons's senior Mackenzie Smith, who shot a 42 for the nine holes at Hilltop. Right on Smith's heels are teammates DeAnna Caraway and Alex Clark, who shot 43 and 44 respectively. North Adams' Caitlin Young put together a fine round of 45 to also jump into that top six while West Union's Lucy Kersey carded a 46 to tie with Eastern Browns' Payton Dorsey. When the SHAC tourney concludes, the top 15 golfers will be honored by
the conference as AllConference golfers and after Round One a number of county golfers are still in that hunt. Besides the above mentioned golfers, in the top 15 for the first day were Peebles' Savannah McCoy at 49, North Adams' Brooklyn Young at 50, West Union's Lindsey Daniel at 51, and North Adams' Erin Newman and Caley Grooms, and Peebles' Nicole Burns at 57. Also on the course for Peebles were Katie Setty (66) Jessica Newman (66), and Shay Boldman (73). The final and deciding round of the 2016 Girls SHAC Tournament will be played this Friday, Sept. 23 at Buckeye Hills. The top two teams and the top 15 finishers will be honored later in October at the SHAC Fall Sports Awards.

46 and counting for Lady Devils, two more SHAC wins BY MARK CARPENTER THE PEOPLE’S DEFENDER The Southern Hills Athletic Conference winning streak stood at 46 for the North Adams Lady Devils varsity volleyball squad after they picked up two more match wins last week, downing both Fayetteville and Lynchburg.
The Fayetteville match was played on Sept. 15 in Fayetteville and the Lady Devils won handily 25-10, 25-12, 25-8. “This was one of our better serving nights,” said North Adams head coach Katie Ragan. “The girls played really well together.” Abby Campton was named the C103 Player of
the Game for her effort that included 8 service aces, a kill, and 7 digs. Madison Jenkins and Charlee Louden added 10 and 9 kills respectively. The next night the Lady Devils were back home to face Lynchburg and again they rolled in straight sets, 25-20, 25-19, 25-17. Both teams were unbeaten coming into the
match but it was North Adams coming out still unscathed. “Lynchburg was well prepared to play us and found some holes in our defense with their attacks,” said Coach Ragan. We made too many service errors, but on the plus side our seve receive looked really good.”
On her quest to reach the 1,000 assist mark, North Adams junior Sydney Kendall had 37 in the win over Lynchburg, leaving her with 976 for her career. Jenkins and Louden were big at the net with 25 and 14 kills. The Lady Devils now stand at 9-1 on the season (7-0 SHAC) and were
back in SHAC action on Tuesday, Sept. 20 as they hosted the Manchester Lady Hounds, a team they just defeated in three sets on Sept. 8. On Thursday, Sept. 22, North Adams makes the long haul to Fairfield, before finishing a busy week with another SHAC encounter, this time back on the road at Eastern Brown.

Dragons still lead after two rounds of SHAC THE PEOPLE’S DEFENDER SENIOR PROFILE Golf, McCarty tops individual leader board SPORTS EDITOR’S NOTE: Each week, The People’s Defender will profile an Adams County senior student/athlete so our community and readers can get to know better these outstanding young people who participate both in athletics and academics in their high school.
BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER The second round of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference Boys Golf Tournament was played on Sept. 15 again at the Hilltop Golf Course, and again it was the West Union Dragons controlling the course and extending their team lead from seven strokes after the first round to 18 strokes at the tourney’s halfway point. The Dragons were again paced by the play of Elijah McCarty, who was the medalist for the second straight round, shooting a 2-over 37 in the second nine holes. Right on McCarty’s tail were teammate Craig Horton and North Adams’ Noah Lung at 38, with Eastern Brown’s Jordan Johnson at 39. Next on the individual list were a pair of Dragons who shot 42 in Tyler Fowler and Eli Fuller, a score also recorded by Ripley’ Dylan Phillips plus the North Adams duo of Patrick England and Bryant Lung. Logan Hayslip of Manchester and Jacob Pell of West Union fired 43’s, along with Ripley teammates Scottie Ott and Brian Dunn. The individual leader board at the halfway point still has McCarty at the

Lady Devils soccer blanks Fairfield 2-0 BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER Though battling a slew of injuries, the North Adams Lady Devils soccer squad continued to put up victories, getting a tough road victory in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference by downing the Fairfield Lady Lions 2-0 on Sept. 16. The game was the fifth shutout for North Adams goal keeper Madee Shipley. “Our defense has been strong all year,” said North Adams head coach Dave D’Avignon. “That is impressive since three of our seven fullbacks are injured.” Take away the game where they allowed six goals to Lynchburg and the Lady Devils have not allowed more than two goals in any other of their nine outings. According to Coach D’Avignon, the Fairfield game was razor close all the way through, with the Lady Lions dominating the first

Early in the final period, the Dragons recovered a Manchester fumble and again took advantage turning that Greyhound mistake into six points when Thomas went long distance again, this time finding pay dirt from 58 yards out to give his team a 28-14 lead with 5:21 to play. Give credit to the Hounds, however, who battled right back and with the clock as their enemy, drove 65 yards in 13 plays, all on the ground, culminating in a five yard scoring run by Grooms, who also ran in the two-point try, making it 28-22 with just 23.2 second remaining. Out of timeouts and with the no kickoff rule
12 minutes but not being able to get one past the North Adams defense. Most of the Fairfield shots either came from tough angles or were quickly smothered by Shipley. Controversy struck at the 27:55 mark of the first half when a North Adams girl was whistled for a high kick inside the box and the officials set Fairfield up for a penalty kick. Coach D’Avignon quickly pointed out that a high kick in the box does not constitute a penalty kick, but an indirect kick instead. The officials conferred, agreed, and the indirect kick by the Lady Lions was rejected by the North Adams defense. Five minutes later, the Lady Devils switched the scoreboard first, when a pass upfield by Laney Hesler went to Kitasha Mesmer, who flicked the ball ahead to Jordyn Kell, who placed a low and accurate shot past the Fairfield keeper for the 1-0 lead, which is how the first half
ended. The game stayed at 1-0 for the first 39 minutes and 46 seconds of the second half, but the Lady Devils got the clinching goal with 14 seconds to play and it was Kell again, taking a pass from Lakyn Hupp and touching it home for the 2-0 final. “Fairfield came out of the gate strong, but once our girls settled down, they played their best game of the year against a very good team,” said Coach D’Avignon. “Every player did her job and relied on the other players to do theirs. It was a nice team victory.” “Our girls have gotten the knack of our new defensive scheme and we are looking forward to the rest of the season.” (Update: The Lady Devils got another SHAC win on Monday, Sept. 19, blanking the Peebles Lady Indians 1-0. Look for a report and photos from that game in a future issue of The Peoples’ Defender.
not giving the option of an onside kick, the Hounds were against the wall as all the Dragons needed to do was make one good snap and take a knee, which quarterback Austin Grooms did as time ran out and the West Union squad celebrated as they took home their third consecutive Defender Bowl trophy and were later honored with a parade through the streets of their hometown. The win improved the Dragons to 3-2 on the season, while Manchester fell to 0-4.

CORNEAL IMPLANT FOR PRESBYOPIA If you’re tired of reaching for your reading glasses, you may be interested in an FDA-approved implanted device that changes the shape of the cornea to improve near vision in those with “presbyopia” (agerelated loss of near vision). The Raindrop Near Vision Inlay is a clear device composed of hydrogel material that resembles a miniscule contact lens. It is intended for individuals who have not had cataract surgery and who need to use reading glasses with +1.50 to +2.50 diopters of power, but do not need glasses or contacts for clear distance vision. The device is surgically implanted beneath a corneal flap in the patients’ non-dominant eye, where it provides the cornea with a steeper curve that improves near vision. Could you benefit from
receiving a Raindrop Near Vision Inlay? At KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE, we can help you decide. Our staff is trained to understand your needs and concerns, and we take pride in our work. We’re located at 1937 Old Main St., Suite 1, Old Washington, where we are currently accepting new patients. Regular eye examinations should be part of your overall good health maintenance. Call for an appointment at 606.759.7883 or 800.658.7282. We specialize in "EYE CARE FOR ALL AGES." P.S. In a clinical trial of 373 people implanted with the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay, after two years, 92 percent of patients were able to see with 20/40 vision or better at near distances with the inlay-implanted eye.
