Another Seaman Fall Festival is in the books Warm weather greets visitors to Street Fair BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Though the warm weather last weekend could have changed the name to the “Still Summer Festival”, the annual Seaman Fall Festival went off without a hitch as thousands filled the streets of Seaman for the celebration that ran from Wednesday through Saturday. The festival began on Wednesday, Sept. 21 with the opening ceremonies which were followed later in the evening by a concert by the North Adams High School Band and then the Queen Contest, emceed by C103's Don Bowles, where five candidates vied for the title of 2016 Queen. Miss Makayla Crawford was crowned as the 2016 Queen with Miss Lydia Truitt as First Runner-Up, Miss Amber Woodall as Second Runner-Up, Miss Shelbie Bolton as Third Runner-Up, and Miss Kristion Alcorn as Fourth
Runner-Up. One of the most common sounds that attendees hear every year at the Seaman Fall Festival is that of the tractor engines roaring as the various tractor pulls began on Wednesday night and continued all the way through Saturday. Thursday's events began with the always popular School Parade, where all of the students from the North Adams District march their way through the streets of Seaman, much to the delight of parents, grandparents, and friends. Thursday also saw the Little Miss and Mister Contest, with Lillian Harper being named Little Miss, and CJ Boner named Little Mister for this year's festival. If you attended the Fall Festival on Friday, it was an evening of entertainment, featuring such talents as Brandi Courtney and Pat Sagen, the Good Time Cloggers, Mama Tam's Blues Band, and ending the night with Hot

Rod and the Fastlane. Saturday afternoon saw the Grand Parade through the center of Seaman, featuring everything from horses, farm machinery, vintage tractors and cars, emergency and rescue vehicles, campaigning politicians, floats from numerous local churches, kids of all ages, the high school band, Cub Scouts, the Shriner's Hillbillies, the always smiling group from Adams County People First, pageant winners, Grand Marshals Steve and Joyce Wilson, and much more. The final day of the festival also hosted the Baby Show, Games in the Park, and yet another evening of music of all types on the main stage, featuring The Fugitives, Mark Tolle, the Blood Bought Trio, Honey Hush, and closing out with up-and-coming country artist David Tucker. Look for more photos from the Fall Festival in today's issue of The People's Defender.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) on Sept. 22 awarded its highest honor to two individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the protection and enjoyment of the state's natural resources. Inducted into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame were Dennis Bigler and John Blakeman. Bigler has made noteworthy contributions to Ohio's natural resources at the local, regional, state and national level over his 40 years of public service including the planning and creation of the National Road Bikeway in St. Clairsville, helping that city achieve "Tree City" status and spearheading the restoration of Captina Creek. Blakeman, a retired biology instructor of 30 years, devoted much of his life to Ohio prairies and birds, planting one of
Ohio's first prairie restorations in 1973 and helping to form the Ohio Prairie Association while educating communities on raptor ecology. The agency also presented its annual Cardinal Award for conservation achievement to Tom Cross, Senator Keith Faber, Karl Gebhardt and Scott Zody.

SOMC’s Rehab Fall Festival crowns Little Miss and Mister Program Receives CARF Accreditation PRESS RELEASE SOMC’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Program has received CARF (Commission of Accreditation for Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation. The accreditation is for a period of three years for both the adult Inpatient Rehab Program and Stroke Specialty Program. “This is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization,” said Regina Keller, program director and nurse manager of the Inpatient Rehab Program. “It shows the organization’s excellent performance and adherence to CARF standards. An organization receiving a three-year accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process. The program has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.” “We are very proud of this accreditation,” said Dr. Danielle Forster, medical director of the rehabilitation program.

Congressman Wenstrup introduces H.R. 6114 PRESS RELEASE Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-2), a member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, has introduced the Charles Duncan Buried with Honor Act (H.R. 6114), the House of Representatives’ companion bill to Senator Tom Cotton’s bill (S. 3076) of the same name. Under current law, if a veteran dies without the resources to pay for a casket, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will provide one, as long as the veteran is buried in a national cemetery. In Ohio’s second district, for example, a veteran would need to be transported to the national cemetery in Dayton or to one in Kentucky. This restriction has caused heartache for many families in Southern and Southwest Ohio: it can mean their loved one must be buried far away, potentially preventing them from attending the funeral or regularly visiting the gravesite. Congressman Wenstrup’s legislation would amend federal law to allow veterans buried in a casket purchased by the VA to have the option of internment at a state or tribal cemetery for which
the VA has provided a grant. It would expand the internment options available to veterans in need, and it would increase their likelihood of being buried closer to their loved ones. “Our nation’s veterans have sacrificed so much on our behalf. It’s the least we can do to ensure they are properly honored in death as they were in life,” said Wenstrup. “I’m proud to introduce this legislation alongside Senator Tom Cotton (AK) and Congressman Joe Heck (NV-3). I hope it will be quickly passed
and signed into law to bring some peace of mind to our veterans and their families.” Charles Duncan, the namesake of this legislation, was a veteran living in Little Rock, Arkansas, who passed away last year. When Mr. Duncan was buried over 150 miles from his home, his own daughter was unable to attend his funeral. H.R. 6114 has been referred to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where it awaits further consideration. S. 3076 passed the Senate on Sept. 20.

Adams County Sheriff Kimmy Rogers has definitely made an impression on the youth of Adams County. When North Adams Elementary first grade teacher Kimberly Horsley asked her class what they wanted as an incentive for good behavior, they asked for a visit from the Sheriff and he gladly obliged. Here, Sheriff Rogers and Deputy Micah Poe are seen during their visit to the class, many of whom have been part of the Sheriff’s Junior Deputy Boot Camps.

We will have a planning meeting to discuss the annual Halloween Carnival on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. The meeting will be on Thursday evening, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. We will also have election of officers. In a follow-up to last week’s acknowledgement of donors, I was notified that I forgot to include Mosier Furniture as a donor. Gary McClellan also supported the festival by purchasing a culinary item. I most certainly apologize for the omission as we appreciate everyone’s support. If I missed anyone else, please let me know. The Appalachian Hope Van will be at the First Stop on Oct. 4 from 10:45 a.m. – noon. We have flu vaccine available and accept most insurance plans. We also have the pneumonia vaccine. It is a good time of the year to get your cholesterol checked in preparation for the holidays. If you have specific questions about vaccine availability call 544-5547. I had a great weekend visit with my daughter Maci who is visiting from Salisbury, N.C. The Winchester United Methodist men will sponsor a pancake and sausage breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 8 a.m. until whenever (just keep coming and they will keep serving). Come and bring your family and friends for a morning of good food and fellowship. As seen on America’s Got Talent, Real Encounter Outreach is made up of professional
athletes and ministers in the area of Moto Stunting, Street Bike Stunting and BMX Bike Stunt Team. Real Encounter Outreach partners with local churches to connect with those who do not yet know Christ and share the life-changing message of Jesus, and will be at North Adams High School on Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. More information can be obtained by calling 695-0025. The Winchester United Methodist Women held their September meeting on Monday evening of the 12th in the Fellowship Hall. Eighteen ladies enjoyed the delicious food and the beautiful table decorations prepared by the committee of Wilma Henderson, Joe Ann Weber and Jo Ann Knechtly. The reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were given and approved. The money made from the yard sale was given to the building fund for the new roof on the fellowship hall. A donation was also approved to make a donation to the pastor and his family to assist them with medical bills. Ruth Huffman is the chairperson for the Election Day meal being served by the women. Kathy Willman and Diane Lewis will be the committee in October. Jo Ann Knechtly had two readings before the meeting adjourned.
Visitors at the Methodist Church on Sunday morning were three women who grew up in the church and now live elsewhere. Jill Pence Jenkins of Sulpher Springs, Texas wanted to visit the church and her two sisters accompanied her. Jill lost her husband this past summer. Sheila and Ted Beighle of Vandalia and Patty and Jim Meade of Greenfield all got to see a lot of old friends. There are lots of folks in our community who need our prayers and support. Winchester’s Past (Florence Bryson): Hallie Wheatley was born in 1889 in Sardis. She married Gustavis Swart in 1922. After their death they were buried in the Sardis Cemetery. Annie was the next child. She was born in 1892 and married Clancy Wheeler Sr. He died at the Eagle Creek Nursing Home in West Union in 2000. He was 100 years old and was one of only four veterans of World War I from Kentucky that was still living. He and Annie are buried at Sardis also. A son Paris was born in 1895. He was in the army stationed at Fort Thomas in 1918 when he died from pneumonia after having the flu. Orvil, born 1898 changed the spelling of Wheatley to Wheatly. He died in 1968 and he and his wife are also buried at Sardis with the others in the family.

The questions might be something like, ‘Would you rather eat a moldy pancake or chew an old piece of bubble gum off the sidewalk? Would you rather be invisible or be able to read minds? Would you rather find true love or a winning lottery ticket?’ It’s a fun game that the whole family can play and helps you get to know each other better. But after the game is put away, I find myself creating my own ‘Would You Rather’ questions in my head. Would I rather have a huge house that’s always clean, or my average house with little fingerprints on the walls? Would I rather always have money or always have good health? Would I rather have endless patience or endless time? Would I rather have my kids see me as a perfect parent or see me as a flawed human being? Would I rather be able to solve all of my children’s problems or let them learn their own lessons? Most of the answers were easy, but the last couple were not. It seems that we are really good at listing our own defeats when we are talking to ourselves, but want to appear like we have it all together to other people, and most especially to our kids. I used to feel that way, but I don’t anymore. I believe that it’s not only Dear Editor,
On November 8, 2016, residents of Adams County have the opportunity to show your support for the Adams County Health Department (ACHD), your local public health provider, by voting yes for the .5 mill tax levy that is on the ballot. This levy will help meet the costs associated with the newly mandated accreditation process from the Ohio Department of Health, which is an expensive venture, and maintain the current level of services that are provided to you. This .5 mill will only cost the average property owner $14 per year. Perhaps you ask why this is important for you. Here are just a few reasons why you need to support your local public health services. They are responsible for issuing To the Editor,

made me appreciate being well, and to reach out to those who are not. Getting through the traumatizing parts let me realize my own strength. Going through the times when I had to rely on others for help let me learn to empathize and reach out to those who are in need. Feeling like I was at rock bottom let me learn to lean completely on God. Those are things our kids can’t learn if we are always shielding them from anything out of their comfort zone. When I see my kids making the same mistakes I did in spite of how much I warned them against it, it makes me cringe. But I remind myself that I made it through okay, and I pray they will too. The world is a scary place sometimes. It’s unfortunate that our kids will have to see the ugliness, but they will. But if we show them that we will stand beside them through their mistakes and ours, through the heartache and shame, and love them even through the bad choices, hopefully it will make it less scary. So, generally speaking (and of course barring anything that would end in tragedy) I guess I would rather let them make their own mistakes. With my arms around them. I will do the best I can and then pray they use good discernment and let God take it from there. His hands have picked me up many times, and I know He will do the same for them. Have a blessed week, friends!

Additionally, failure to achieve this Ohio Department of Healthmandated accreditation will result in the loss of local control of our own health department responsibilities. This means that certain services in Adams County would be controlled by accredited health departments from distant locations.

tography started going digital, that is when I decided that I needed to do something else, and I went to the art world and I ran into a couple of guys from a company called Fan Ban, who produced large photographic banner of players and stadiums. They wanted somebody who could do high end art of individual players and I told them I could do that. One of the guys was former Bengal David Pollack and he was very instrumental in helping me out. He actually called Peyton Manning and through David's help, Manning approved one of my pieces that I did of him and I had the only licensed print of Peyton in a Tennessee uniform. We did some signings of my prints and it all kind of snowballed from there and now I do a lot of work for Ohio State.” A painting that Blevins did in 2002 of Ohio Stadium has been one of his most successful works, selling over 1,000 prints. “It's been great,” Blevins continued. “Through Athletes in Action and the College Football Hall of Fame Scholarship Program I have been able to work with Eddie George, John Hicks, and numerous Ohio State players and coaches.” A large number of Blevins' painting have sports themes, running the gamut from college to the pros. I love sports and I played football in high school,” said Blevins. “I played rugby at Ohio State, because that was

as close as I could get to football. I was there from 1972-76, the years of Woody Hayes and Archie Griffin, and that excitement for sports has just never left me.” When you have done hundreds of paintings, it can be difficult to pick out a favorite but Blevins does have a particular favorite from the sports world. “You won't believe this, but it was former Bengal Cedric Benson,” says Blevins. “The painting is my favorite and I talked to him in the locker room and at his house and really got to know him and he was a super person. I gave him a beautiful framed print of the original painting. He just texted me recently and thanked me again for the print.” Most of Blevins' nonsport painting deal with wildlife and at WUHS, he displayed a number of those, including a very enchanting print of a bear peering through a tree. His favorite wildlife print involves a tiger. “It is called Water Boy and is a painting of a large tiger jumping out of a pond with water splashing and I had no idea how to paint water or the fur but I worked and worked on it and it came out as a believable picture and it happens to be my favorite.” Anyone who wants to see more of Blevins' work, can find him on Facebook or at www.GaryBlevinsart.com.

Husted announces new online business services
LOCAL NEWS
West Union People’s Defender
PRESS RELEASE
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted last week announced the expansion of online services offered through Ohio Business Central, a program he launched in October of 2013. The announcement is part of the Secretary’s ongoing goal to make it easier and more cost effective to start and maintain a business in Ohio. “Since becoming Secretary of State, it has been my ongoing goal to offer better services at a lower cost and this is part of that goal,” Secretary Husted said. When Secretary Husted took office in 2011, the agency accepted only hard copies of business filings. As part of Secretary Husted’s goal of providing better services at lower cost, Ohio Business Central was launched to offer an online filing option. Even before the program was publicly announced, businesses were already taking advantage of this new resource. The process which once took days or weeks to finish,
now only takes hours. Last month, six new forms were added to the online system; meaning 90 percent of business filings received by the Secretary of State’s office can now be completed on the Secretary of State’s website. The new forms include: • Foreign For Profit Corporation Application for License (530A) • Foreign Nonprofit Corporation Application for License (530B) • Registration of Foreign Corporate Name (530C) • Certificate of Foreign Limited Partnership (513B) • Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company (533B) • Statement of Qualification-Foreign Limited Liability Partnership (537) With these forms, not
only is it easy for businesses to start in Ohio, but it also makes it easier for businesses that do not have a headquarters in Ohio to expand in our state. Previously, companies from all over the world would have to communicate with the state through the mail or even hire a local entity in order to complete a simple process. Now corporations can easily go to their computer and complete this process online. Due to the simplicity and convenience, there have already been over 217 businesses file these forms online since becoming available. In addition to the new business forms, the Secretary of State’s office now accepts credit cards with every filing both online and through the Client Service Center in downtown Columbus. This includes business filings, minsters licenses, notary commissions and apostilles. The new forms are available at OhioBusinessCentral.com or through the Business Portal on the Secretary of State’s website.

Adams County Heritage Days are Sept. 30-Oct. 1 Grassy Run at Heritage Days.
Go back in time at the Wilson Homestead
BY TOM CROSS ADAMS COUNTY TRAVEL AND VISITORS BUREAU
Adams County Heritage Days at the John T. Wilson Homestead in Tranquility are coming from Sep. 30Oct. 1 and will again feature living history by the frontier group Grassy Run Historical Arts Committee, who are portraying life as it was during the 1760’s through 1840’s. The group will promote education of old time skills such as rope making, using a loom and spinning wool, writing with a quill pen, flint and steel fire starting, cross cut sawing, an old time wood lathe, and cooking over a fire. Other historical events will include an old time pioneer weapons black powder shoot. The shoot is only open to early, oldstyle muskets, flintlocks, and cap locks reproductions or originals, but no in-lines or scoped muzzle-
loaders. The intent is to recreate the era of the early frontier as this is an old style off-hand shoot like the early settlers would have participated in. Cap and ball muskets or reproductions like those used during the Civil War are also welcome. A $5 donation for the shoot is requested and registration for the shoot begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct 1. Period clothing is preferred but not necessary to shoot. Prize awards include $50 for first place, $25 for second and $15 for third place. Categories are percussion and flintlock. The Adams County Heritage Days will also include a hog roast dinner and entertainment on Friday evening, Sept 30. Also on tap are numerous living history presentations, old time music, period vendors ,and tours of the historic Wilson Homestead. Other pioneer
trades such as early style timber framing, blacksmithing, horseshoeing, candle and soap making, goat farming, quilting and weaving will also be featured. Serpent Mound historical facts and an Indian artifact display will be part of the presentation of Adams County pioneer history. For those attending, period clothing is encouraged to help recreate the frontier days of old Adams County. For more information about the Adams County Heritage Days Pioneer Shoot contact the Adams County Travel and Visitors Bureau at (937) 544-5639 or email info@adamscountytravel.o rg.

DeWine offers tips following Yahoo breach PRESS RELEASE Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine last week offered tips for consumers following the recent announcement by Yahoo of a data breach affecting some 500 million user accounts. Yahoo has reported that the information was stolen in late 2014 and may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, "hashed" passwords, and some security questions and answers. "When there's news of a data breach, we encourage consumers not to panic but to take steps to help protect themselves," Attorney General DeWine said. "For example, change your passwords, use a different password for each of your accounts, and watch for signs of possible identity theft, such as unauthorized charges on your account." Tips for affected consumers include: • Change your passwords and your security questions and answers. Change your Yahoo account passwords, and if you used the same
password for other accounts, change those account passwords too. (Use a different password for each account.) Also change any security questions and answers you may have provided.• Use complex passwords. A password should be lengthy and it should contain multiple different characters, such as a variety of numbers, letters, and symbols. Consider taking a sentence you can remember and adding multiple different numbers and symbols throughout. Update your passwords regularly. • Consider using two-factor verification. Two-factor authentication requires a password and another step to verify your identity. For
instance, some sites may require a password and then ask you to answer a question or enter a unique code to access your account. This adds a second line of defense. • Monitor your bank accounts. Look for suspicious activity. If you find errors, immediately notify your bank or credit provider. • Check your credit report. Monitoring your credit report can help you identify signs of potential identity theft. You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit reporting agencies. Visit www.AnnualCreditReport.c om to access those reports.
You can pull all three at once, or you can stagger pulling your reports throughout the year. Beware of scams related to the breach. Con artists may pretend to have information about the breach or they may falsely claim to want to help you. Some calls or messages may be scams designed to steal your money or personal information.

THE PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
You have to understand the process to understand the job
Let me begin this column by saying that I am not a huge fan of social media, even though it has become a necessary evil in the business world. Airing all your personal stuff for all to see is not that appealing, but when it hits close to home, then I have to pay attention and when someone questions our sports coverage here at the paper, I tend to get my dander up a bit. You really shouldn't criticize the process without understanding the process. (Apology accepted by the way.) The first thing Mark one Carpenter should Sports Editor notice is my job titleEditor/Sports Editor. I dare you to find another one of those anywhere, I haven't yet. As that title implies, I have many more responsibilities here at the paper than just Sports. In fact, sports has almost become the second job to me and that part I really don't care for, but as they say, it is what it is. In fact, I am writing this column at 6 o'clock on a Monday evening, alone in this office, frantically trying to get the Sports pages finished so that I can meet my wife later for dinner after she gets off work. At her second job might I add, which may also tell you a little about being a teacher and Editor/Sports Editor, but again, it is what it is. Let me try to explain the process I use when trying to cover as many of the county's sporting events as I possibly can. I looked at the daily schedule that I put together every week and last week there were over 35 different events involving the four county schools. Now If you can figure out a way for me to get to all those, other than finding a phone booth where I can slip into my Superman outfit, please let me know. I have to pick and choose and I try to make that process as fair to all the schools as I can, but allow me to let you in on a little secret that likely holds true for most high school sports writers. The schools that are the most helpful are going to get the best coverage. It's as plain as that. What do I mean? Well, again as any high school sports writers will tell you, a large majority of what we do depends on information that we get form the various coaches. One county school makes media cooperation part of their coaches evaluation, therefore you tend to see them a lot in the paper because their coaches are excellent at getting me post game information and it doesn't take much information for me to make a story, I have that talent, but believe it or not, there are coaches that I never hear one word from. I am not hard to find (mcarpenter@peoplesdefender.co m) and at some point in the season, I won't beg any more for info. If you want to see your teams get the publicity that they all very much deserve, send the stuff. Just look through the scoreboard on the next page and you will be able to figure out who I hear from most often. There seems to be some question as to why I don't have more youth and peewee sports in the paper and that is a tough one to let go. I may be wrong, but I am

Greyhounds hang on late for first win of 2016 season
Manchester defends home turf with 24-16 win over Jefferson Township BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER It took five weeks but the Manchester Greyhounds varsity football team finally has a notch in the win column as the Hounds held off a late rally by the Jefferson Township Broncos last Friday night to claim a 24-16 victory in front of the home faithful at Greyhound Stadium. The Hounds, who lost in overtime to the Broncos on the road last season, held a 24-0 lead but had to hold off the hard-charging Broncos, who scored a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. “It is huge for our guys to get this first win,” said Manchester head coach Dustin Cook, who got the obligatory Gatorade bath after the game. “All of the hard work they have been putting into practice was able to show up in the win column Friday night. I thought our guys did a great job on both sides of the ball and on special teams to get a great team victory.” The game certainly started well as a perfectly executed onside kick by MHS kicker Trent Dryden was recovered by the Hounds' Avery Reed, setting up the
home team's offense on the Bronco 45. Manchester held the ball for nine plays and drove to the one-yard line, where they were stopped on fourth down, but that change in field position was soon to be a factor. On the Broncos' first play from scrimmage from their own one, running back Kristopher Benson was hauled down in the end zone by Reed for the safety that gave the Hounds a 2-0 lead with 6:41 left in the first quarter. On the ensuing punt by Jefferson, the Hounds' Marcus Neeley made a nice return, giving Manchester the ball at the Bronco 30. After losing one touchdown to a holding penalty, the Hounds found pay dirt when Neeley ran it in from 10 yards out and the Patrick Baldwin twopoint conversion run put the home side up 10-0. The Hounds had another successful onside kick but turned the ball over on downs, and the next Jefferson drive was snuffed out by a Cody Thatcher quarterback sack on the final play of the first quarter. That forced a Bronco punt to open the second period, and the Hounds took advantage, going 54 yards in 10 plays, aided by a 21-yard run by Neeley and a 14-yard

After a pass attempt by Jefferson quarterback Thomas Herron was batted in the air by Manchester’s Marcus Neeley (1), it was intercepted by teammate Jacob Calvert in the second quarter of Friday’s Greyhound win. Here, Herron tries to drag Calvert to the ground on the interception return. pass from Neeley to wideout Nick Huron. On fourth and goal from the Jefferson 7, Neeley rolled right, then lofted a pass to the left corner of the end zone, into the waiting arms of receiver Jase Thatcher for the touchdown. Neeley took care of the two-point try and the Hounds had their biggest lead of 20-16, an advantage of 18-0 with 5:55 to play in the first half. On the next Bronco possession, the Hounds got an interception by Jacob Calvert on a pass tipped by Neeley, but couldn't capitalize as they fumbled the ball right back to Jefferson. The Broncs turned the ball over on downs, but again the Hounds were
gracious in returning possession as a Neeley pass was picked off by Jefferson's T'euvyn Page. Returning the favor, Neeley intercepted a pass on the final play of an action-packed first half that saw the Hounds go the intermission still holding the 18-0 lead. The second half began with the two teams exchanging punts, with the second of those giving the Hounds the ball at the Jefferson 41. Seven plays later, Manchester was on the board again ona another fourth down play as Neeley passed 14 yards to Nick Woolard for the score. The two-point try was stopped, leaving the Greyhounds in front 24-0.
The Manchester defense created yet another opportunity on the next bronco possession when Cody Thatcher recovered a Thomas Herron fumble, but the offense stalled after six plays and turned the ball back over on downs as the fourth quarter began. This time the Broncos took advantage as Herron found receiver Colbert Bosen wide open down the middle of the field for a 40-yard scoring strike. A two-point pass to Page made the score 24-8 with 8:07 left in the game. Needing to run some clock to protect their

Par for the course, Dragons sweep SHAC Golf titles Clark, McCarty take individual titles BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Not always do the favorites in a tournament come out on top, but in this year's Southern Hills Athletic Conference golf tourneys, that was absolutely the case. Going into both the girls and boys events, the teams for West Union High School were prohibitive favorites and the Dragons did not disappoint as both of their squads rolled to conference titles. The SHAC girls tournament was a two-day, 18hole event (Sept. 16 and 23) and though the individual leader board changed from one day to the next, the team scores didn't as the Lady Dragons held an 21-stroke advantage after the first day of play at Hilltop, then stretched that out to a 48stroke conference championship after day two at Buckeye Hills. It is fairly obvious that your team might win a title when you have five of the top 10 golfers in the tournaments, which is exactly what the Lady Dragons had, led by this year's SHAC Girls Champion, sophomore Alex Clark. Clark, who was two strokes off the pace and in third place after the first nine holes of action, rallied to shoot a 41 on the second day, good enough to propel her up two spots and make her the SHAC's best for 2016, with a two-day score of 85. Clark's teammate DeAnna Caraway finished See Process / B2 as tourney runner-up, hav-
ing a tough day with a 49 overall, but still holding on to a second place tie with Eastern Brown's Payton Dorsey, both with two day totals of 92. The leader after round one was West Union's Mackenzie Smith, but she just had “one of those days” on Friday at Buckeye Hills. Shooting a 57 to drop her to ninth overall. The Lady Dragons placed two more in the top 10, Lucy Kersey fourth with her total score of 93 and Lindsey Daniel eighth with 98. Two more Adams County golfers placed in the top 10, all of whom were named to the AllSHAC Team. North Adams's Caitlin Young and Peebles' Savannah McCoy both shot 95 for the 18-hole tourney, good enough for All-SHAC recognition. The boys' tournament is a little more complicated, being an four-day 36-hole competition, but it wasn't that complicated for West Union's Elijah McCarty, who led from wire to wire to become the 2016 SHAC Boys Individual Champion. McCarty's four day totals (34-37-3837) were good enough for a 10-stroke win over teammate Craig Horton and Manchester's Logan Hayslip. Since the boys' tourney is two days longer, the AllSHAC Team is larger, with the top 15 golfers )16 this year because of ties) earning that recognition and Adams County was wellrepresented as usual.

The annual Kissick Klassik volleyball tournament was held at Manchester High School on Saturday, Sept. 24, with four teams involved, Whiteoak, Sciotoville East, New Boston, and the host Lady Hounds. The Manchester girls, pictured here, finished as the runners-up in the tourney, defeating Sciotoville East in the first round and then losing in two sets to New Boston in the championship game.

Besides McCarty and Horton, the Dragons placed three more golfers on the All-SHAC squad, Jacob Pell, Tyler Fowler, and Eli Fuller. North Adams was represented by Noah Lung, Patrick England, Bryant Lung, and Colt Shumaker, and Manchester also added Dylan Colvin, giving the county 11 of the 16 AllSHAC spots. The All-SHAC golfers will be honored at the SHAC Fall Sports Awards on Oct. 31. In the team standings, West Union closed out the fourth day of play, round four being at Buckeye Hills, by adding 11 more strokes to their advantage, which continually grew as the tourney progressed. The Dragons ended up grabbing the SHAC title by 30 strokes over second place North Adams, with Ripley placing third, and Manchester fourth. All of the county golf squads now point their focus towards the postseason, with sectional play beginning earlier this week and the West Union boys team looking for a return trip to the state tournament in Columbus.

willing to bet that in the past few years I have had more pee wee and youth sports coverage than any paper in southern Ohio. I truly wish that I could attend more of those events, but I do have to stop and breathe sometime. Lately I have been working 6-7 days a week and it had been more than a little draining, physically and mentally, but I will do it to make our paper the best in the area, which I believe it is. When it comes to peewee and youth sports, I really have to rely on parents and their cameras. In this day and age, everyone has a camera, usually carried in our pockets. Use them, send them to me, tell me who, what, when, and where, and I will likely get it in the paper. Simple. To those who comment that I favor one school over another, I don't really know how to respond. If that is the case, I apologize, but I don't think it is. At the beginning of every season, my goal is to first see every high school team play and get them in the paper. Once that is done, I have other factors that go into my decision, not the least of which is the ability to get the editor duties completed and get out of the office in time. I look for the best game available and if it involves two county teams, I call that a ”two for

If I am in West Union, it is because it is just five minutes from the office and easy to get to on time.

Yes, I know you all are tired from your work days too, I am just giving you my reasoning. It was even brought up that I was favoring West Union and Manchester because their junior high football game was on our front page last week. Notice the headline-”Defender Bowl.” That is a game that we sponsor and provide the trophy for, something no one else does. So it would only make sense that we want to publicize the game as much as we possibly can. Five years we have sponsored the Defender Bowl and I haven't heard too may complaints.

My son will text me occasionally, which keeps us in touch, with the topic sports 99% of the time.

I will continue to work as hard as I can to give our readers the super product that they deserve, in both sections of the paper, and like any job, I know I will never make everyone happy. Let me finish this column with a Facebook comment to me from former Manchester basketball coach Aaron Lockhart. “I've said it for years, the youth of Adams County are fortunate to have you. You go above and beyond, from high school down to the pee wee programs, even continuing to report on the ones that go off to college and continue to play their sport, putting in countless hours making sure that the youth are recognized. I appreciated you when I coached and still do, keep up the great work!” Enough said.

lead, the Manchester offense went three-andout, punting the ball away and the Broncos took over on their own 31. Eight plays later, the combination of Herron to Bosen struck again, this time from 47 yards out and the two-point conversion suddenly made things very interesting as it had turned into a onepossession game at 24-16 with just 1:19 remaining. The Hounds took over on their own 46 after the Jefferson onside kick attempt was recovered by Shaun Gould. Two running plays netted very little, but forced the Broncos to use their final two timeouts. A third down run by Neeley did not produce a first down, but did produce a holding penalty on the Greyhounds. If Jefferson declined the penalty, they would have gotten the ball back with about 45 seconds left, but they accepted the infraction, giving the Hounds another play which ran the clock down to under five seconds. A running play by Neeley gobbled that time up and the Greyhounds could celebrate victory number one of 2016, holding off the Broncos 24-16. “Hopefully this win will give us some of the confidence and boost that we need to continue playing good football and give ourselves a

Lady Dragons bounce back to win next night over Fairfield BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Looking to break a losing streak, the Peebles Lady Indians varsity volleyball team traveled south down Rte. 41 on Sept. 22 to face the West Union Lady Dragons in Southern Hills Athletic Conference action. West Union was on a twomatch winning streak, but on Thursday night, it was all Peebles as the visitors took care of business in three sets, picking up their fourth win of 2016. The first set of the match was a tight one, coming right down to the wire. West Union led 21-20 late, before a service ace by Peebles' Brittany Lloyd tied the score. A Jaycee Baldwin kill put the Lady Dragons back in front, but back-toback kills by Madison Pierce gave the Lady Indians a one-point advantage. Back and forth they went as the next two points went to West Union, putting them just one point away from taking the set, up 2423. Undaunted, the Peebles
coach Katrina Obenshain. Whatever she told her squad worked as a kill by Madison Pierce helped the Lady Indians wrap up the set 2520 ad take a commanding two sets to none lead in the match. The third set was another back and forth affair with neither team able to pull away early. A pair of Kiersten Rowe serves gave West Union the early lead, but a kill by Peebles freshman Christian Reed gave the Lady Indians a 7-5 advantage. Back came the Lady Dragons to tie the set at 7, but that quickly changed when Peebles got the side out and Reed stepped up to serve and fired off five straight to put her team on top 12-7 and force a West Union timeout. With Peebles up 13-9, things went from bad to worse for West Union as five service points from Pierce gave the Lady Indians control of the set and an 18-9 lead. Peebles continued to march toward winning the set and the match, getting a Justice ace to go up 20-11. The evening came to a close with Lloyd back at the service line as her three points
girls reeled off the next three points and captured the first set 26-24. With senior Brittany Caldwell at the service line, the Lady Dragons jumped out to a 7-2 advantage in the second set, before Peebles rallied right back with Lloyd grabbing four service points of her own to tie the set at 7 a piece. A Baldwin kill and later ace put West Union in front 11-8, but again Peebles fought back, using the serves of freshman Tatum Arey to forge an 11-11 deadlock. Down 12-11, the Lady Indians sent Baylee Justice to the service line and the Peebles junior promptly turned a one-point-deficit into a seven-point lead with eight straight points. West Union bounced back with a Kendall Gallowitz kill but could never get control of the set back from their guests.

Peebles also won a preceding eighth grade match in two sets 25-8, 258. With little time to dwell on the Peebles loss, the Lady Dragons were right back in action the following night and right back in SHAC play as they hosted the Fairfield Lady Lions. West Union made it three wins in four matches for the week as they topped the Lady Lions in four sets, 25-20, 25-20, 23-25, and 25-12. “This may have been the best all around match we have played all season,” said West Union head coach Debbie McClanahan. “Everyone did their part and our serving was right on target and we stayed right in there on all of the long volleys.” On the stat sheet, Jaycee Baldwin led the Mark Carpenter | People’s Defender way for West Union with 10 kills while Houston West Union’s Houston Adkins, left, battles at the net Adkins added 4 blocks. with Peebles’ Madison Pierce during action from last Kendall Gallowitz served 5 aces, with Baldwin week’s match at West Union High School. adding 4 and Bickett 3.
