Caraway Farm hosts annual Pumpkin Festival The festival for Halloween lovers BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER The Caraway Pumpkin Festival has been a favorite for kids and families for more than 15 years. The annual fair signaling the onset of the fall holiday season draws large crowds to the Caraway Farm in the rolling hills of Blue Creek. Harvest and Halloween enthusiasts flock to the three-day event featuring thousands of pumpkins, squash, and gourds of every size, shape, and color. Families search together for the perfect Jack O'Lanterns, fodder shocks, and mums. Kids wander wide-eyed among the cornucopia of harvest fruit displays. One boy, 10 years old or so, steadied his feet, and bending his knees wrapped his arms around a massive pumpkin. He strained mightily to lift it, but the pumpkin didn't budge. Standing, hands on hips, he called across the Giant Pumpkin display, “This is the one we want, Mom!” The farm's spacious barnyard was transformed into a marketplace where vendors and artisans hawked their wares - a variety of primitive craft works, handmade soaps, homemade jams and jellies, jewelry, and antiques. Racing ducks, shooting the pumpkin cannon, and riding the Cow Train around
the farm were among the fun activities for kids. The Caraway farm is one of Adams County's Century Farms. It was purchased in Dec. 1888 by Samuel E. Caraway. “Our farm has produced many crops over the past century, but we love our pumpkins the most,” said Angie Caraway. Now in its 15th year, the festival has become a favored local tradition, but Caraway says that the 2016 festival is the last the family will host.
“This will be our last year,” she says. “It's bittersweet, but we're ready to make a lot of changes.” Caraway said the family plans to continue raising and selling their eight-acre harvest. “Next year we'll have the pumpkins and a craft house in the barn where visitors can shop, but there won't be a festival.” Caraway Farm is open each day from now through Nov. 1 from 11 a.m. until dark each day.

Heritage Days return to Tranquility Past and present converge during weekend-long celebration of America's pioneer spirit BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Ralph and Patricia Alexander last weekend hosted the eighth annual Adams County Heritage Days Festival at the John T. Wilson Homestead in Tranquility. The event sponsored by the Heritage Days Association honors the life and contributions of Adams County philanthropist John Thomas Wilson, who by the time of his death had given more than half a million dollars to charitable causes, including the building of the county's Childrens Home. In addition to his humanitarian
work Wilson was also a Civil War hero, an abolitionist, a statesman, and a merchant. “A lot of work goes into preparing the festival,” said organizer Angelena Newman, “It takes nearly a year to plan, and it's a group effort, we all try to bring our talents to the table.” Sitting atop a bluff in Tranquility, Wilson's colonial home, which he named “Prominence”, overlooks the quiet intersection of Ohio 32 and Route 770. During the festival the lawn of the stately home is transformed into an early American frontierstyle gathering place by history re-enactors from the

The Senior Services Levy with a .20 mill increase will be on the Nov. 8 ballot. Our agency receives money from this levy to help with our operating expenses to provide senior citizens with homecare and transportation services. Without this levy, our agency would not be able to provide these much needed services that help seniors stay in their homes and get the medical care that they need. The .20 mill increase is levy money that would go directly to ABCAP to support the Meals on Wheels program for Adams County. If you have any questions, please stop by our agency or if you would prefer, come to the next Council meeting which will be help here at the Senior Center on Oct. 19 at 10:30 a.m. October is Fire Prevention Month. Older adults are one of the groups at greatest risk for fire death and/or injuries. Some of the reasons for this include: ● Physical disabilities – may impair an older person’s ability to take quick action. ● Vision or hearing loss – can prevent older adults from noticing the cause of fires or hearing alarms. ● Living alone – there is no one to help them put the fire out or to escape from a fire. ● Medication side effects – may lessen an older adult’s ability to be alert and make quick decisions. ● Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease can impair a person’s vision, depth perception, hearing, sense of smell and sensation to heat as well as their judgment. Families and care givers may help prevent tragedies
by taking every precaution possible to reduce the chance of a loved one or person in your care from being injured or killed by fire. MediGold, a supplement to Medicare, will have seminars to learn more about MediGold as well as signups at the following locations and dates: ● Oct. 19 at the Adams County Senior Center starting at 11:30 a.m. ● Oct. 19 at Wayne Township/Cherry Fork Firehouse Conference Room starting at 4 p.m. ● Nov. 16 at the Wayne Twp./Cherry Fork Firehouse Conference Room starting at 4 p.m. For more information, please contact: Cara Mia Mullenix at 1-800-9644525.

DIABETES-INDUCED BLURRED VISION As we all know, one of the best ways to reduce the risk of developing cataracts is to wear sunglasses and wear broad-brimmed hats that shield the eyes from damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. Another way to prevent the eye lens from clouding involves making a slight adjustment to our diets. Research involving sets of twins over a period of ten years shows that consuming diets rich in vitamin C was associated with a 33% reduction in risk of cataract development. It is thought that vitamin C’s ability to inhibit eye lens opacity is based on its strength as an antioxidant. The fluid inside the eyeball is normally high in vitamin C content, which helps prevent oxidation and lens cloudiness.

Live, love and laugh at yourself West Union People’s Defender
Sometime in the late 80’s to early 90’s, baby doll dresses were in style. They were kind of short and flowy, and I had a couple that I loved and wore to work. At that time, I helped in the board of education office, and one summer day we decided we wanted some ice cream. So I volunteered to make the run up to the dairy aisle a couple blocks up the street to place everyone’s order. I underestimated the amount of hands it would take to complete this task. Once I had everything back to the office parking lot, I contemplated making two trips to bring it all in, but the car was super hot and I knew the ice cream would be melted if I had to come back for any of it. So, I decided I was smart enough to figure out how to do this in one trip. I got out of my giant Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, locked the door with my elbow, held my keyring in my mouth, purse on my shoulder, ice cream cone in my left hand, and leaned in to grab the holder with the rest of the ice cream in cups. It was working as planned until I backed out of the car and pushed the locked door shut with my knee, because that is exactly when a really big breeze came. It blew the back of my dress up over my head at exactly the instant when the locked door slammed shut with my dress stuck in the top of it. Yep. That’s a bit of a predicament. As if it wasn’t embarrassing enough that the dress blew up, the fact that it was stuck over my head in a locked door, essentially pin-

Maybe sometimes it’s just age and maturity, but I think most of us eventually get to that point where we just don’t care about trivial things anymore. I just wish it didn’t take us so long to figure that out. I have three teenagers, and I have tried to instill in them that they should be themselves and not try to change to fit in. One of them, whose name I won’t mention (but it starts with a ‘C’ and ends with an ‘ara’) definitely inherited my clumsiness. But she is such a good sport and laughs at herself quite often. It just makes life more fun. It is my hope that we can all find ourselves happy with being ourselves. Take chances. Be daring. Don’t miss out on something remarkable because you’re afraid to try. Surround yourself with people who love you the way you are. It’s so refreshing to be able to say, ‘This is me, with all of my flaws,’ and to hear back, ‘Come as you are. I’m a flawed person too.’ It’s a wonderful thing to meet a person where they are and get better together. Step outside of your box this week and do something that you’ve always wanted to do and were afraid to try. Take that volunteer job. Sign up for a class. Ask that person on a date. Pray out loud with someone who needs it. You can do it! And if you mess it up, who cares! Laugh it off and give yourself credit for trying. They’ll still love you.l
I am writing in response to an article in the Sept. 14 People's Defender concerning the S bridge on Grace's Run Road. Like the article said, to accommodate truck traffic for the Amish businesses, both ends of Unity Road and Wheat Ridge Road (Dunkinsville end) are available for access to the businesses. The Graces Run Road end is narrow and curvy. Yes, the S bridge needs repaired, but why would this
small community want more truck traffic? Like the article said, we have cars, semi's, buggies, scooters and people walking. These are country roads, not four lane highways. The Harshaville hill is narrow and curvy and the road is breaking off on one side and there are no guard rails for the drop off an the other side. I personally don't want to meet a semi on that hill. Children walk and scooter on this road and hill to
school and their social events. The people of this community don't want truck traffic on this road, it is a country road. Besides, how much money was spent refurbishing our Harshaville covered bridge just two years ago? Most of the damages were caused by semi trucks. This is a land mark that we are quite proud of. Can someone contact the people at GPS and tell them the road isn't passable to trucks
so they can take it off? Then put a 8' sign at the corner of 247 and Graces Run Road. that says “No Semis”. Apparently drivers can't see the little one on Graces Run Road. I think the Engineer's Department and the ACECD should have spoken to the residents of the area before making the decision to turn our country road into a truck route.
I've been to the moon. I've been burned. But more often I'm honored. I'm your American flag. That's the way I recently introduced myself, the American flag, to readers in 115 newspapers coast to coast-from city papers in Pittsburgh, Miami, Memphis, Charlotte, Jacksonville, and Salt Lake City to mid-sized ones in Altoona, Scranton, Savannah, Tucson, and Monterey and on to papers in towns so small you may not have heard of themsuch as Leesville, La., Pomeroy, Ohio and Arkansas City, Kansas. Now I want to introduce myself to someone who seems reluctant to see me, to meet me even half-way. His name is Colin Kaepernick. Colin himself needs no introduction. His name is now known coast to coast and far better than people know Pomeroy, Leesville and Mount Gilead-that's in Ohio. First of all, Colin, I'm here to support you-not what you did, but your right to do it, your right to be wrong as it were. After bragging in all these newspapers about being the center of attention at all those Fourth of July parades. I centered myself with a dose of humility. But often I'm inconspicuous, standing silently in the corner of a meeting hall or classroom- though far fewer of them now. Indeed, I've
fallen from favor for some incensed by actions our government take, but I suffer in silence when abused or defiled for I represent all of our rights, including protesting and speaking your minds. Colin, I'll put you down in that category of being incensed by government actions. I will suffer in silence for your right to be incensed by what you see as an often-brutal oppression of minorities in this country-the one I represent-- not standing with others to honor me as our National Anthem is played before a football game. But Colin can you imagine all those kids in bombed out buildings in Syria or the ones being used as suicide bombers or the little kids blown to bits by such a device being able to go out and play games or eat popcorn while watching a game? American kids, black and white, red and Asian or Hispanic, have freedoms and opportunities- such as growing up to become a football star like yourselfthat are virtually unheard of or impossible in many parts of the globe. In telling my story this summer- from being carried into battle at Brandywine in 1777 to surviving shock and shell at Fort McHenry in 1814 and trying to bring us back together after the Civil War, I said, "I survived mustard gas and ghastly death in
European trenches in World War I and 48 stars strong, was hoisted by six soldiers on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima in World War II. I'm proud to be your American flag." Iwo Jima, Colin, our fighting men there were actually Marines and Navy sailors- and one of them was killed or wounded every two minutes for 36 days. Almost 7,000 were killed to keep us free- free to play games, protest, make a living, have families, go to church. And that iconic photo of the six men raising our American flag on that tiny but bloodsoaked island in the Pacific? Turns out that one of the six has been misidentified all these years, Marine Pfc. Harold Schultz was not getting the credit due him for 71 years. Schultz didn't get the glory, but a North Carolina journalist, Barry Fetzer, noted that "the flag raising wasn't - and isn't-about individuality. Even Schultz apparently didn't care he was unheralded, understanding that he was a bit part (like all of us) in a bigger plan. Think of that Colin- raising the flag was a team effort. Taking Iwo Jima was a team effort. Winning World War II was a team effort and many of them didn't come home to enjoy it. After telling of all the things I represent Colin, here's how I ended my story. "But most of all I rep-
resent the American spirit, the indomitable demand and yearning for freedom, excellence, and opportunity. I am not the flag of a ruling regime or royal family. I am the American flag, representing rights emanating from a higher and transcendent authority honored on our coinage. Look up to me as you salute or stand at attention. Pledge yourself to fulfill lofty goals symbolized by my sky-blue field and 50 stars. With red for valor and zeal and white for hope and purity. Look up and salute with pride what the patriot poet hailed as a worthy Star Spangled Banner. May it forever wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave." Colin, like another great football player who ran the ball in the wrong direction in the Rose Bowl one year, "Wrong-Way" Roy Riegels, you had a noble purpose in mind but went the wrong way in pursuing your lofty goal of correcting injustices. Yes, there are some still to be corrected. Be a role model and member of the team- I'll meet you halfway. Your American flag.

From page 1 advertising in December and I'm already planning vendors for next year.� Erwin's vendors are the heart of the festival. Spread across a five-acre field, row upon row of white canvas tents house high-end artisans and crafters demonstrating their unique skills and their original handmade goods. “I think the vendors who make and demonstrate their work are more inclined to sell stuff,� says Kim, who admits the vendor's ability to interact with customers is a major consideration when she recruits them for the fair. Her insistence on recruiting only top-of-the-line vendors has gained her a reputation for “being hard to work with� she says. “That's because I have rules, and I don't allow anything made in China to be sold at the festival, and that's hard to do in this day and age.� More than 150 vendors will be featured at the festival, which last year drew over 30,000 people to the Wheat Ridge area. Herbal specialist will offer medicinal teas, soaps, lotions, herbal rubs, blends, and butters. Metal working artisans will display their unique yard art. Wood crafters will show hand made bowls, toys, boxes, birdhouses, racks, and walking sticks. Pottery makers, jewelers, quilters, weavers, and knitters will have their wares available for shoppers.

Peebles Fire Department has a new addition SUBMITTED BY MIKE ESTEP
The Peebles Fire Department added a new piece of apparatus to their fleet in August when the Meigs Township Trustees purchased a 2000 Central States engine from the Anderson Township Trustees (Clermont County) in the amount of
$45,000. The engine is housed at Station 15 in Peebles, and will respond to motor vehicle accidents, rescue operations, and secondalarm structure fires. This will replace a 1987 Sutphen engine, giving department members safer, more effective equipment to operate during a response to our communi-
ty members in need. The purchase of this truck will help prevent tax rate increases for taxpayers in the future. The Peebles Fire Department would like to thank the Meigs Township Trustees, the taxpayers of Meigs Township, and the village of Peebles for helping make the purchase possible.

Here are some of the students involved in the new Peer Mentoring program at Peebles Elementary School.
Peebles Elementary introduces Peer Mentoring program SUBMITTED BY SARAH HARDIN Students at Peebles Elementary will be participating in a Peer Mentoring program in the 2016-17 school year. The mentoring program offers several benefits for not only the students, but will positively impact the school as a whole. Initially, the mentoring program will comprise of sixth and first grade students. The sixth grade students were nominated to be mentors by their classroom teachers. To be accepted as a mentor, each
student was required to fill out an application and provide recommendations from two teachers. The chosen mentors have each been paired up with a first grade student. The mentors will serve as older role models and friends for the younger students. They will also assist their mentees with homework, answer questions, and provide support with friendships and school. Over time, the Peer Mentoring program will expand, so additional students and grade levels will have an opportunity to participate and benefit from
the positive peer interactions. Each of the students involved in the program are excited to begin. The following are responses from sixth grade students, in regards to why they wanted to be a student mentor: “I would like to make a positive impact on school”, “I want to be a student mentor so I can make a difference in somebody’s life” , “I enjoy helping people and working with kids” , “I want to be a good role model” , “I want the kid’s to know there is someone listening” , and “I like helping young kids.”
ODOT opens new full-service Maintenance Facility Adams County crews move into new home in West Union

ODOT representatives, along with state and public officials, were part of the contingent on hand on Sept. 28 for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new ODOT maintenance facility in West Union. PRESS RELEASE With construction finished and the move completed, crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in Adams County have a new highway maintenance facility to call home. "In an effort to update antiquated systems and buildings, the department has been investing in its county facilities throughout the state as they are needed, and building new sites such as this in Adams County will do much to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our crews' daily operations," said ODOT District 9 Deputy Director Vaughn Wilson. To commemorate this important project, ODOT, joined by the contractors, state and local officials, and members of the general public, hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house on Sept. 28. The former garage has been replaced with a fullservice maintenance facili-
ty due to the mechanical, technical and physical condition of the complex, which had become outdated and more difficult and costly to repair. During the open house, guests were able to tour the new facility, which is located on a 15-acre site off CIC Boulevard in West Union, across the highway from the old garage on S.R. 41. At a cost of approximately $6 million, the new complex includes a nearly 18,400-square-foot truck storage building and a 5,232-square foot officeand maintenance building with advanced technical and electronic systems. The site also houses a 5,040-square foot cold storage building, salt and materials storage buildings, and fuel storage. Along with the new storage capacity and updated technology, the facility will have climate and temperature controls, and the site is being constructed with energy sav-
ings and efficiency in mind, with high-efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems. Construction took approximately 15 months to complete, and this project is part of a $17.6 million, multi-site contract in which the contractors, Shook Construction, have also replaced District 9 facilities in Brown and Ross counties.

Anna Elizabeth Campbell
Anna Elizabeth Hall Campbell was born in Robertson County, Kentucky to Robert and Ruth Linville Hall on June 30, 1930. She was the second oldest of five children. Preceding her in death are parents and brothers; Robert Jr., Wayne and Emmitt and her sister, Pauline. Ann's parents moved the family to Ohio in the 1940's. She met her husband, partner and love of her life, Austin Campbell. They were married on October 21, 1950. They were blessed to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary just three months before Austin's death. Two daughters were born to this union, Patty and Jeanie, whom Ann loved very much. Joining their family were Patty's husband, Larry Shiveley and Jeanie's husband Danny Johnson. Both son in laws said Ann was the best mother in law in the world. Soon the family was expanded to include her four dear grandchildren; Angie Lloyd and her husband Richie Lloyd, Brent Shiveley and his wife Becky, Blu Johnson and Crystal Fleming, Ryen Shiveley and Cortnee Shoemaker. Early on the grand kids called their grandmother Nan or Nanny. She was a wonderful Nanny to these grand kids. Rounding the family circle were the next generation of great grandchildren. They were Wyatt, Jaron and Wade Shiveley, Austin Lloyd, Jasmine Johnson, Kyndell Lloyd, Ashton Johnson, Waylen Lloyd, Garrett, Carsen, Broden, Paysen, Rylen, Jaxon Shiveley and Rylee and Lainee Barr. In 2012, Braylen Shiveley was born. Nan became a great, great grandmother. This family now represented five generations. Nan will be remembered by all a loving, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. She was a hard worker all her life. In the early years she worked at home on the farm with her dad, mom, sister and brothers. Ann took great pride in her duties as mother, wife and grandmother. Three meals a day were prepared for her family. She worked along side of Austin in the family business, A. Campbell Repair. Customers witnessed many times Ann helping tear down a tractor engine as Austin could replace broken parts. Nan always made time for a large garden, flowers planted everywhere around the family homestead. Her favorite flowers were roses, tulips, iris and marigolds. If the roof needed painted she would climb up and get it done. Her yard was mowed and trimmed at least twice a week. When the work was done, she and Austin would attend the grand kids ballgames, unless of course Austin was playing himself. Sports were always a big part of this families life. Ann was an avid bowler. She made many friends at Sunset Bowl, where she was on many winning leagues during her career of nearly fifty years. She took bowling serious and was very competitive in this sport. The family is so fortunate to have all the memories of our loving mom and grandmother. Her love and support will always be treasured by all who loves her so much. If we were granted one wish, it might be all of us sitting around the table enjoying the great food she so willingly fixed. Her laugh, her smile, her tenderness and love will live on in our hearts.
CARD OF THANKS
The family wishes to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who were in body or prayer. To the Hillside Staff, who took great care of our mom and nanny. To Hospice of Hope for their support. To Bob, Vic, Ronnie, Ted, Dave and Richard for the wonderful service that was provided to us. Thanks to all our family, Mark and Roxie Tolle and Sharon Campbell for providing the beautiful music. To all who sent flowers, food and players, we sincerely appreciate you.

'Run Gio' won’t be all makes a visit to that bad in 2017 at GABP Adams County Maybe it
With the 2016 season fittingly ending with the bullpen blowing a lead in the ninth inning, the Cincinnati Reds now shift their attention to the 2017 season. This past season was certainly an interesting one as the team went from a horrible first half to a very respectable second half, threw in some young players to see what they had, and still drew 1.8 million fans for a team that finished in last place. Hopefully, that phrase “last place” will not be heard again for awhile as this team seems to have the pieces in place to be a lot better in 2017 and perhaps Mark leap frog Carpenter two or maybe Sports Editor even three of the teams ahead of them. That may be optimistic, but let's look around the diamond. First of all, the Reds recently announced that Bryan Price would return as manager in 2017. In my thoughts, that was not a bad move. Price has never been able to manage with a full deck of cards and the plan is obviously to give him some more of the cards he needs in the next couple of years. Losing the likes of Bruce, Cueto, Chapman, Leake, Frazier, and others would not be easy for any manager to overcome especially when the organization doesn't have major-league ready replacements ready to step in. The catching position offers an interesting quandary for 2017. What happens with Devin Mesoraco? If he comes back, can he catch? If not, where can he play? Tucker Barnhart proved in 2016 to be a very capable every day catcher and Ramon Cabrera a durable back-up. The job seems to be Barnhart's to lose heading into next season. First base is a given-.326, 29 home runs, 97 runs batted in, after hitting barely over .200 for the first two months of the season. Joey Votto is one of the best hitters in baseball and should be the anchor of the team, thought here are those ugly rumors that he is trade bait. My answer to that is simply-NO! Build the team around Votto and let him keep hitting and having all those interesting interactions with fans along the first base line. Second base will be the most interesting decision the Reds have to make. Brandon Phillips hit close to .300 in 2016 and is still Gold Glove caliber in the field and the Reds have him under contract for another season. Does he get that one more year to cement his legacy as a sure-fire Reds Hall of Famer? Lurking in the shadows in Jose Peraza, who proved in 2016 that he is major-league ready. Do the Reds attempt to trade Phillips again and is there even a market for a 35-year old infielder? Peraza showed his versatility in playing numerous positions, while hitting .324. Second base will be an interesting call, especially if Dilson Herrera, acquired from the Mets in the Bruce trade, makes a spring training impression. The shortstop position mirrors what is going on at second base and again with Peraza being able to play the
Bengals running back thrills both young and old BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER A large number of Adams Countians got to see the human side of a professional football player last weekend as Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard made a visit that turned out to be a special treat for both young and old. The main purpose of Bernard's visit was a benefit dinner for his Run Gio Foundation, but before that took place, he made the day of a group of local youth football players. Through some special arrangements, Bernard made the trip to Adams County a bit early on Saturday afternoon and his first stop was the practice fields in Seaman, where a very enthusiastic group of North Adams youth football players lined the street with chants of “Gio, Gio, Gio!” Bernard spoke to the youngsters and their parents, then took the time to fire off a few passes that every kid was anxious to catch, then signed numerous photos, jerseys, footballs, and hats to further please an already enraptured audience. After his stop in Seaman, Bernard, along with his agent and girlfriend who were traveling with him, made the trip to the beautiful McCoy's Vista at Poplar Flats, where a benefit dinner was set up to raise funds for his foundation, which is set up to do work in Haiti, at the
present trying to make improvements to a school named after his mother. “This is my first time doing this but we have had other events to raise money,” Bernard told The People's Defender. “For me, this foundation is so close to my heart mostly because the school in Haiti is named after my Mom. It is something that I care for and that I want to grow. There are a lot of kids over there that need the help and obviously there are a lot of kids over here that need the help, so it is just me being able to raise money to be able to do certain things fir the kids.” “This past summer we were able to get some solar panels up for the school to bring some electricity there and down the line I want to see some bathrooms because what they have is not very sanitary. We'd like to also pave down the entire courtyard. It's a project and it takes time and patience and it takes a lot of helping hands involved.” “The people here in Adams County are so great in helping us out being able to do something like this,” Bernard continued. “The drive up here was really awesome and I don't get to see this kind of scenery very often and it just takes you back to a more slow and relaxed kind of lifestyle.” The event was organized mainly through the efforts of Tyler Ryan from Ryan Wealth Strategies, along

Bengals running back Giovani Bernard speaks to the audience gathered at McCoy’s Vista during the benefit dinner on Saturday night for the Run Gio with the help of a number of other sponsors, with a dinner catered by the Scioto Ribber. The process of bringing the Run Gio event to Adams County was a long one but something that Ryan hopes can continue in the area. “This event has been in the works for about a year now,” said Ryan. “We talked to a lot of different
foundations and tried to make this work out and we were very blessed to be able to get in touch with Gio and his agent and they were so excited to make this trip out and make this fun. They went out of their way to visit the kids this afternoon and we have been so happy with the community response and we hope we can do some-
thing like this every year, maybe a golf scramble next year. It’s all going to a great cause and we were more than happy to help out however we could. After the dinner, the remainder of the evening consisted of a raffle and auction of Bengals items

West Union, North Adams grab top two spots in Division III golf sectional tournament Manchester also headed to districts along with Peebles’ Bostin Robinson BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER After their girls teams had swept the top two spots in their sectional tournament, it was time for the West Union and North Adams boys golfs team to repeat the trick as they traveled to the course at Shawnee State Park on Sept. 28 for the Division III sectional tournament. Throughout the fall season, the Dragons and Green Devils have battled on courses all over the area and the sectional tournament turned out to be their closest battle of all, with just a single stroke separating the two after the 18 holes of play. The West Union squad, led by a 78 from Elijah McCarty, edged out the North Adams boys by a final stroke count of 339-340, in a contest that went right down to the wire. The Green
Devils were led by scores of 84 from both senior Patrick England and junior Noah Lung as they captured second place, which left both teams heading on to Monday's district tournament. (The results of district play were not available at press time.) Besides McCarty's 78, the Dragons also recorded scores of 83 from senior Craig Horton, 89's from senior Tyler Fowler and junior Eli Fuller, and a 91 from sophomore Jacob Pell. After England and Lung, the Green Devils had junior Colt Shumaker at 85, junior Bryant Lung at 87, and sophomore Carson Hall at 107. In the sectional tourney, the top five teams and the top five individuals not on a qualifying team all move on to district play, which meant that another Adams County
team saw their season extend into Monday as the Manchester Greyhounds finished fifth and advanced. The Hounds were led by the 18-hole score of 87 from sophomore Logan Hayslip, followed closely by an 88 from sophomore Dylan Colvin, 91 from senior Justin Aldridge, 93 from junior Jalen James, and 106 from freshman Zach James. The county also had an individual qualifier as Peebles' Bostin Robinson snagged the fourth of the five individual spots, shooting an 84 for the 18 holes. All of the district qualifiers were in action on Monday at the Portsmouth Elks Course, with West Union looking for a return trip to the state tournament in Columbus. Look for a report on those results in a future edition of The People's Defender.

position. When Zach Cozart comes back healthy, does he step right back in to the shortstop position? Is he too injury-prone, though the last two seasons he has been on track for career years before getting hurt? Is Cozart perhaps the one Red who might get the most trade interest from other teams? Stay tuned on that one. Eugenio Suarez seems to have taken hold of the third base position and besides his 21 homers and 70 RBI's, his defense improved dramatically from the first half to the second half. Suarez can play outfield which might open up third base for 2016 first round draft pick Nick Senzel, who tore up the league at Single A Dayton. Is a player with just a half a season at Single A ready to jump into the major league starting lineup? For now, the job seems to belong to Suarez, who I believe is ready to have a tremendous season in 2017 if given the opportunity. The Reds found a diamond in the rough when they acquired Adam Duvall and then watched him grab the left field position and never let it go. No one expected a 33-103 year with an All-Star appearance from Duvall and there is absolutely no reason why he doesn't go into 2017 with that job secure. Center field definitely belongs to Billy Hamilton, who was having the best season of his career
before being injured, and that may be the achilles heel of Hamilton. His reckless Gold Glove play in the outfield with a fragile body may make him injury prone, but the Reds and their fans will take .260 with 58 stolen bases from Hamilton. Right field might be up for grabs, but if you listen to the radio broadcast of the Reds' final game, you heard Marty Brennaman say that the job should belong to Scott Schebler after his performance after the Jay Bruce trade. Those three actually set up a pretty good outfield for 2017. It is no big secret that the downfall of the Reds in 2016 was mostly due to the pitching staff, inconsistent starting pitching and as Brennaman described it, a “brutal” bullpen. Who makes up the starting rotation in 2017? That decision will be crucial in determining if the Reds make progress and move up in the standings. It seems that Anthony DeSclafani is a lock, along with Homer Bailey, if he is actually finally healthy. Brandon Finnegan is still a possibility, and you can't discount the great year that Dan Straily gave the team after they claimed him off the scrap heap. Will Robert Stephenson get his chance, and how about Tim Adleman, who didn't pitch badly in 2016? Are John Lamb and Cody Reed more suited for the bullpen after both had not-so-good years? The bullpen was nothing short of horrible most of the season, though the trio of Lorenzen, Iglesias,and
Cingrani showed promise late in the year. Not quite the Nasty Boys, but there is hope. Iglesias went from Opening Day starter to “lights out bullpen late game guy”. The one thing the Reds do have in both the starting rotation and bullpen is options, the question will be how many of those options pan out. If all the pieces fell in place in 2017, there is no reason that the Reds could not jump past the Brewers and Pirates, and who knows, maybe even the Cardinals, in 2017. I don't think the Cubs are anywhere in reach but free agency and the “money” grab will hit the Chicago squad eventually. Who knows what the future will bring at GABP? However it goes in 2017, it has to be better than 68 wins and 94 losses. One more baseball note to close out. I ask that you all be thinking of a certain 19-year old boy who by the time many of you read this will be pacing the floor out of nervousness as his beloved Mets face the one and done wild card game. Mets manager Terry Collins is hands down the most deserving Manager of the Year in the NL, though he won't win it. All I am praying for Wednesday night is a Mets win, so he and I can enjoy a few more games, maybe another four-game sweep of the Cubbies. All in all, it has been another fun year of baseball, from spending time with my daughter at GABP to following every Mets game with my son. You just can't beat that.

Hounds fall to 1-5 on the season Trip to Fayetteville up next BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
It was the longest road trip of the season for the Manchester Greyhounds varsity football squad and it also turned out to be a rather long night. The Hounds made the nearly three-hour trek to Bradford, Ohio to face the host Railroaders and the home team dominated most of the night, handing the Manchester squad a
27-12 defeat. The Greyhounds found themselves in a 14-0 hole after the first quarter and trailed 22-0 at the halftime intermission. The first touchdown of the third period went to the Railroaders before the Hounds finally got on the board on a Nick Woolard touchdown run that made it 30-6. Manchester was plagued by turnovers and missed opportunities the entire game and Bradford scored in the fourth quarter to further stretch their
already commanding advantage. A late score by the Hounds' Cody Thatcher accounted for the final points as Manchester fell to 1-5 on the season. The blue and gold will get a chance to get back on track on Friday night when they are in Ohio Valley Athletic League action on the road again, this time with a trip across the border to face the Fayetteville Rockets. Kick off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Fayetteville High School.

Eastern running back Logan Clemmons looks for running room among a pack of Manchester tacklers during action from last week’s junior high football game, won by the visiting Eagles 40-0. BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
The junior high version of Manchester football is still searching for that elusive first win of 2016 after dropping a 40-0 decision on Sept. 29 to the visiting Eastern Eagles. The loss dropped the junior high Greyhounds to 0-6 on the year. Eastern took an early lead when running back Logan Clemmons ran 32 yards for a touchdown with 2:33 left in the first

as a ball was cleared back to him, allowing the ball to just roll in the net to give Peebles a very quick 1-0 advantage. The Dragons answered to tie the game, before the Indians struck again to go up 2-
quarter. With 7:40 to go in the second stanza, Eastern quarterback Wyatt Hines went 40 yards to pay dirt on a keeper to give the Eagles a 14-0 advantage when Clemmons tacked on the two-point conversion run. Eastern continued to shred the Manchester defense when Dillion Maddox ran one in from 25 yards away. The Eagles added two more scores in the first half, including a Clemmons TD run with just six seconds left that made it 34-0. With a 1. With players slipping and sliding all over the field, West union was able to score one more goal before the intermission and the two teams went to the break in a 22 deadlock. The second half, however, belonged to the Dragons as they scored four goals in the 4minute span to take the
running clock enforced in the second half, the time went by rapidly with Eastern getting one more score to account for the final 40-0 score. Coach Larry Heller and his troops have two more games remaining on their schedule, two more opportunities to pick up a victory. On Oct. 6, the junior high Hounds travel to Portsmouth Notre Dame and then finish their 2016 campaign on Oct.13 with a trip to Franklin Furnace Green.
6-2 win. In all, West Union got a hat trick from Andre Wolke, one of those goals coming on a header after a perfect Tyler Swearingen corner kick. The Dragons also got scores from Swearingen, Colt Parker, and Janson Kramer to claim the win over one of their county rivals.
DeWine reminds students of Oct. 1 FAFSA availability West Union People’s Defender
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recent;y reminded students and their families that the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) became available on Oct. 1 this year, three months earlier than in previous years. The change impacts high school seniors, continuing college students, and others who plan to attend college during the 2017-2018 school year, as they apply

for grants, loans, or scholarships. "Figuring out how to pay for college is a significant undertaking, and completing the FAFSA is usually part of that process," Attorney General DeWine said. "Because the FAFSA will be available earlier this year, we want Ohio students and families to be prepared. Generally the earlier a student applies, the better."
The FAFSA is used to calculate a student's financial aid eligibility. In previous years, the FAFSA wasn't available until Jan. 1 of the year the student planned to start college. Now, however, students who plan to attend college next fall (during the 20172018 academic year) can complete the FAFSA beginning Oct. 1. In addition to being available earlier, the
FAFSA also now will collect income information from an earlier tax year – the "prior prior" year instead of the "prior" year before the student will start college. For example, high school seniors who plan to start college in the fall of 2017 can complete the FAFSA using their parents' 2015 tax return information (rather than waiting for 2016 information).
