Commissioner Baldridge makes bid for “open” seat Candidate hopes to win seat vacated by Caraway, looking for fourth term BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE’S DEFENDER Adams County Commissioner Brian Baldridge, the Republican candidate vying for the Board of Commissioners “open” seat, will face off against challenger Richard Dryden in the upcoming Nov. 8 election. Baldridge is running for his fourth term as commissioner. The Republican committee's decision to run a sitting commissioner for the 'open” seat vacated by Stephen Caraway raised questions and created more than a little confusion among the electorate. In brief, if Baldridge loses the race to Democrat Dryden he will retain the seat he now holds on the board. If he wins he will vacate the seat he now holds and assume the “open” seat. At that time the Republican Committee will appoint a candidate to finish his term which ends in 2018. The People's Defender asked several questions of
both candidates providing them an opportunity to speak directly to the voters. Below are Commissioner Baldridge's thoughts on why he should be elected to serve again on the Board of Commissioners. Defender: Why are you the best candidate for county commissioner and how will you make a difference in Adams County over the next four years if elected? Baldridge: This race is about experienced leadership. I've served this county as commissioner for three terms, and I look forward to continuing to serve the people of Adams County. While serving as commissioner I have voted to support bringing in just under $20 million in grant money to the county. We know when we bring outside money into this county that money will turn over five to seven times and we can invest that here, locally. As commissioner I will continue to work hard to bring outside money into our county because it stimulates our local economy.
Defender: What is your assessment of the county's overall financial position? Baldridge: The financial position of the county right now is stable. I like to think my management has kept it at a stable level. Our biggest threats are cuts to local government. We have a looming cut through the Medicare process and how it's taxed that could effect our county budget to the tune of $600,000 in 2018. Those are huge contributing factors that could mean a huge negative for our future. It's stable now, but we always have to be on the offensive in managing our budget and making sure our voices are heard in Columbus. One of our challenges in a rural setting in Ohio is that we have two or three state Representatives and one Senator in our region. The negative is that greater Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland have six, seven, or eight state Reps, and hey don't have the issues we do out here in a rural setting. We have to make sure that
our voices continue to be heard in the state legislature to make sure they don't cut us anymore. Defender: What should the county be doing to confront growing poverty here? Baldridge: Poverty is a huge challenge, not only here, but in our state and in our country. What we have in place here in our county for dealing with poverty is a great group of folks at our Jobs and Family Services who assist individuals and families who face the challenges of poverty. That support group and those employees of the county do a great job assisting those folks and helping them make that leap out of the situation they've fallen into. Defender: What are your goals for cultivating a strong cultural identity for Adams County in the next four years? What role should the arts play in Adams County's cultural identity, and how should the county be supporting the arts community? Baldridge: The arts are an important part of our community. We are all proud of the activities and functions sponsored by our Arts Council. We recently had
Brian Baldridge the opportunity to partner with our Arts Council to apply for a grant and I supported them in that. It was a great opportunity to bring in funding from other areas into our county. I was a music guy in high school, and I enjoy that, and our youth need to be exposed to the arts to realize its beauty
and importance. Defender: If the Health Department's services levy doesn't pass, what steps, if any, would you as Commissioner take to ensure we don't lose the services they provide? Baldridge: I'm supportive of the Health Levy, and

Democrat Dryden looking to win “open” commissioner's seat Candidate says he’ll bring traditional ideas to the office BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Adams County voters will be asked to choose between four candidates bidding for seats on the Board of Commissioners in the Nov. 8 election. Among them is Democrat Richard Dryden who is challenging Republican Brian Baldridge for the “open” seat vacated by former Commissioner Stephen Caraway. The People's Defender asked several questions of both candidates providing them an opportunity to speak directly to the voters. Below are Richard Dryden's thoughts on why he should be elected to serve on the Board of Commissioners. Defender: Why are you the best candidate for county commissioner and how will you make a difference in Adams County over the next four years if elected? Dryden: I have 22 years of experience as a selfemployed farmer. Farming is my only employment, and my family's only income. To successfully manage the family farm I've had to manage my money very careful-
ly, and being a dairy farmer, my salary isn't set so I have to work within a budget. That's also exactly what I've done as a Tiffin Township Trustee - I've worked within the budget for the township's residents. As county commissioner that's exactly what I'll do to work within the budget. Defender: Should any part of the county budget be shielded from cuts? And, if so, which area? Dryden: Law enforcement should not be cut because they protect our citizens. The Health Department also should not be cut because I believe it should be kept under local control. Education shouldn't be cut because I think we need to promote education for our children. We've got a serious drug problem and we need to expand and teach our kids, and as adults that's what we're supposed to be doing. I believe through the education system we can raise awareness about drug abuse. Defender: If the Health Department's services levy doesn't pass, what steps, if any, would you as
Commissioner take to ensure we don't lose the services they provide? Dryden: As county commissioner I will do everything I can to make sure we keep our Health Department local. I think we could pursue getting a grant to help fund the department. I do know we have a grant to fund Meals on Wheels, so my thoughts are can we take money from that to help our Health Department. Defender: What one part of county government or what issue would receive more attention if you were elected? Dryden: Roads and promoting our small businesses so that we can attract tourism to the county. Our County Engineer provides safe roads, and we need to continue to work on improving and making our roads safer. Local government has been cut in the past eight years and it's been a burden on all our agencies in the townships, the villages, and the county, but we need to stress the safety of our roads. If we keep our roads safe and clean we will attract tourists and our small
businesses will prosper. Defender: If new resources were available, what one area of county services do you think most needs additional resources? Dryden: The Health Department and education. There have been rumors about Southern State College coming in and I'd really like to get education going for our youth because they are our future. I graduated n 1981, and my best friend told me he had to leave Adams County to get a good job. In 2011 my own daughter said to me, “I have to leave Adams County to get a good job.” That's 30 years apart. We can't keep all our children here because we don't have enough resources, but we can create something for those who stay. Defender: What incentives would you offer businesses interested in coming to Adams County? Dryden: Tax breaks to encourage them to come. Defender: What are your thoughts on the environment and land use policy – regarding the EPA? Dryden: I know that there is an issue with chemicals getting into the water sup-
Richard Dryden ply, but I don't know if farming is the total cause. I don't know that the farmers are doing that much harm. I've been in the farming business for 35 years and I've never abused chemicals or fertilizers that could get into our water streams. What worked for farmers 30 years ago is totally different from today. Farming has totally changed from what it used
to be. Farming used to mean you plowed your land and worked your land, but now days they're using no-till practices, and rain washes the chemicals off. We also need to look at the problems caused by septic systems. Defender: What would be your position on issuing levies and taxes as they pertain to smart growth projects

If you don’t vote, then don’t gripe Letters to the Editor
To the Editor,
Voters- we have a very important election coming up in November. Are you tired of the double talk and sleazy deals where only certain people get every-
thing? Are you tired of referendums up for renewal, but we don't know how the money is being spent? Demand to know. How is it spent and who gets the money? How about an open audit? Vote
no and vote the corrupt ones out. If you do not vote someone into office, they should not be in office. Please get out and vote. Vote to get rid of the corruption and the double
talk. If you don't vote, then don't gripe. I will be voting.
local health department responsibilities. The current funding provided by the townships and villages will be inadequate to meet these requirements imposed upon all the local health departments in Ohio. Right now your Adams County Board of Health members are appoin ted by your local township trustees and village mayors. They are Adams County citizens just like you who have expressed an interest in and who care about our counties environment and resident's health. The staff is a dedicated group of health care providers trained and educated to provide the vital services needed in a rural area.
The Ohio Department of Health would like nothing more than to take over the serv ices our department now provides. Do they know our culture, our needs, or our desires for the future of Adams County? No, the services would be provided by staff from distant larger health departments rather than the members of our own community. The levy is a 0.5 mill tax levy. For the average property owner in Adams County this will cost about $14 a year, less than a nickel a day. A “Yes” vote on the lev y will keep your Adams County Health Department under local control, and provide the
types of services rural communities need and decrease the financial burdens of our townships and villages. Remember when you eat in a restaurant, send your child to school, need an immunization for travel, the flu, or shingles shot, or swim in a pool. Your Health Department function is to be certain that our citizens are safe a nd secure with all these activities and more. Please help keep your Health Department functioning here in our county.

President and if liberal, our world will change. Ladies, this election is not about gender, party or our feelings. It's about our very way of life and our children's way of life. This is why, I'm voting for Donald Trump. He gave to us all, a list of Supreme Court Justice candidates that he will consider. All love our country. All will preserve our Second Amendment
and all are conservative. Mr. Trump also said that he will submit to Congress, for their approval, more names to be added to the list. We must vote our conscience. We must vote Trump and make our country great again.

He doesn't forgive habitsjust "sins". I had someone to read scripture and they said it wasn't, so you have no other way to become a Christian. Let us correct some of what Morrison wrote.

people and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb clothes with white robes and palms in their hands- read it in Revelation Chapter 7. Now let's see about the second group of 144,000 of men, Revelation 14. She said they preach to the world. That is not scripture. An angel having the everlasting gospel to preach.
Read scripture for yourself, so many lies are written about God's word. I can't correct them all. Read and read, it is real. II Peter 1:20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
Thank you, William Broerman, Sr. Manchester, Ohio
Supporting the Health Department Levy To the Editor,
As a public health nurse for 30 years, I recognize the importance of local control of your county's health department. Why does the Adams County Health Department need a levy? The Ohio legislature and State Health Department has demanded that all local health departments obtain national accreditation. The local departments will be expected to meet the same standards as our larger and wealthier counties. It is an expensive and time-consuming process. However, failure to meet these standards will result in the loss of local control over our

King James Version is the true word To the Editor,
I believe and know we all need to read the only true word of God which is the King James Version, not because I say so but because it has been proved by many. There is only one way to be born again and it is by what Jesus Christ did at Calvary for the forgiveness of "sin".

The annual Halloween Carnival is scheduled for Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. (immediately following trick-ortreat) in the W3CU gym. This event is free. There will be inflatables, a raffle, cake auction, and costume contest for different ages. Plans are in the making for a hayride, possibly through our haunted cemetery. The Knothole league will be serving a chili supper beginning at 5:30 p.m. for a nominal donation. For all you folks who like to bake, donations are needed for the cake auction with 100% of the proceeds go toward supporting our community events. We need volunteers to help set up and decorate tables on Thursday evening and help with the inflatables Friday evening. Earl has been very busy selling raffle tickets so it looks like there will be a large pot. I inadvertently omitted another of our donors from our “Thank You” to those who supported the Welcome Home Festival. JZN Goat Farm, Gayla Beth Fritzhand, was not included and we most certainly appreciate her generous donation. If anyone else was missed, please let me know. There are certainly lots of people in our community who continue to need our prayers and support.

Dryden
From page 1 and sustainable development? Dryden: If it's necessary to have some kind of tax break to bring in new development then I think we should all be working for that. As far as a tax levy, I'd prefer to stay away from levies because everybody's taxed anyway, but if the levy could prove to be of minimal cost for the tax payer, like the Health Department which is only going to cost the taxpayer $14 more on the year for a property valued at $100,000, that's a very minimal cost and would be worth it. With that being said, the Health Department has also said that if the levy passes each township that gives $123,000 dollars a year to the Health Department will get that money back, so it isn't going to cost the taxpayers that much because money is coming back to the villages and townships. I'm not opposed to tax levies if it shows a just cause in return. Defender: What are your goals for cultivating a strong cultural identity for Adams County in the next four

years? What role should the arts play in Adams County's cultural identity, and how should the county be supporting the arts community? Dryden: I'm a lifetime resident of Adams County, this is my home, this is where I want to be. I think we need to take every opportunity to grow and expand as times change. Agriculture used to be the number one thing in our county, and it's still important, but it's dwindling. We need to expand our horizons as far as our youth and the arts are concerned. I do know that we have more tourists coming into the county, but we don't have enough hotels to keep them here. People come, but then they have to go back to Eastgate or Maysville to stay. Can't we expand and find a way to keep our tourists here and generate revenue for our county? One thing I push in our township is keeping our roadways clean and tree limbs cut back. That's a small item, mowing the roadways and keeping brush cut back, but if you can bring people into the county they can see how beautiful it is. We've got them coming in and we need to keep them coming, and once they get

Baldridge
From page 1 hopefully it will pass, it is a very important need in our county. Recently the Health Department needed support and the commissioners agreed to provide assistance to get them out of the financial crisis they were in. Obviously, it's like anything else when we make a decision as far as governing – if the funding is not there we have to reevaluate, take a step back, and evaluate what services we have to provide and what services we want to provide. When it's tough times financially we have to make those tough decisions and make sure that we meet the needs that have to be provided by law and by our commitment to our community. Defender: Should any part of the county budget be shielded from cuts? And, if so, which area? Baldridge: Hopefully, instead of making cuts, we could collaborate with other agencies, whether it be internally within our county or externally outside our county, to come up with creative ways to fund whatever that department is. A lot of our departments are on very lean budgets. They're all very important and the employees all do a great job. Obviously we can't touch mandated funds, so it's a very tough decision, and I can say I've had experience with that. We have battled through those tough times and used creative thinking to making sure we kept intact our goal, which is to continue to drive our county to be the best we can be.That's how those decisions are made. Defender: If elected, how would you cultivate and strengthen tourism is Adams County? Baldridge: I have made every effort as county commissioner to help drive the sector of travel and tourism. I've assisted with a small here we need to accommoamount of funding to the date them.

Baldridge: As far as governing, sometimes it's easier to govern when the money isn't there because the answer has to be no. When the money does come in a positive fashion and we have an increase then the decisions are hard because we have to evaluate what should be done. Whether it be economic development or tourism development, or something else - if we can use it to stimulate the tax dollar and grow it more than once obviously, that's the best way for tax dollars to be spent. Infrastructure would be another issue along that same line. Defender: What do you see as the most pressing needs for infrastructure in the county? Baldridge: In the past I've supported a lot of opportunities to fund our local water departments. I'm proud to say when I came in we still had large regions of our county that were not covered by county water. It is one of our basic life infrastructures that effects our lifestyles everyday. Today we're closer than ever to having countywide coverage of water. Obviously natural gas is another of the basic infrastructure issues that we look at. I can tell you that since I've been on the board of county commissioners we ask these tough questions every year, 'how are we going to do it', and we continue to try and figure out how we're going to get natural gas because we know that natural gas is one of the drivers of growth and development. Defender:Do you plan to promote any changes to existing taxes? If so, why? Baldridge: As far as taxes, we all feel we pay a lot of taxes, and as we see on the ballot we have a number of areas where we are going back to the taxpayers to ask for assistance such as the Health Department which is in need and struggling to do their day-to-day operational business. We want a conservative solution. I want to make sure that there's no other way that we can fund, do, or take care of that issue without going to the taxpayer. Defender: What incentives would you offer businesses to come to Adams County? Baldridge: First of all, I always want to support our local businesses and make sure we take care of their issues. I'm cautious when it comes to tax incentives. We want to strive to bring those folks in, but we've got to make sure that we don't

have a negative effect on our current businesses. We want to look at each case very hard. As far as incentives, from an economic standpoint, we should develop our infrastructure so that we are competitive in our region. When businesses start looking we want to be sure we can provide those basic needs they require. Defender:What are your thoughts on the environment and land use policies? Baldridge: Water quality has been a huge topic in the state of Ohio. We have a lot of farmers in Adams County, and we have to continually strive to keep our water safe and our environment safe. The factors that I think contribute to the problem are not only the agricultural community as far as chemicals, but also private septic systems. We know it wasn't one issue that became a negative, it's multiple things that come together that created the problem. I served in the Soil and Water Department where we promoted our greatest resource – the land, and we have to constantly take care of it. Defender: What method or criteria do you use to determine how you will vote on an issue? Baldridge: One, initially I do a lot of research. I'm a common sense individual, I need to look at all the information presented to me, and make sure that I do my homework. I ask the question, “Is this best for our community today, is it best for my children, your children, and for our total overall future as a society”? In making sure it does take us into the future my goal as a citizen and as a commissioner is to leave things better than when they were given to me. Defender: What would be your position in issuing levies and taxes as they would pertain to smart growth projects and sustainable development? Baldridge: I don't think those should be handled at a county level. I think the state has put a lot of factors in that assist in those areas. I believe in the voice of the people when they vote on levies here locally. I believe when a department comes to us and says they need to go to the voters, I want to make sure we ask those hard questions – Do we need to go to the voters, but then allow the voters to decide? There are already a lot of things in place to help fund those type of growths and I don't feel that at a county level that's the responsibility of the county government to do. Candidate Baldridge and his wife Lori live in Cherry Fork on the Baldridge family farm.

III District CrossCountry Champion
Brother Matt, MHS Boys, Shupert, and Tucker also headed to regionals BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Adams County will again be well represented in the regional cross-country races in 2016 as one full team and four individual runners will be vying for the coveted spots in the state tournament. Last Saturday, Rio Grande University hosted the Division III District races and when all was said and done, Adams County had produced a district champion runner, as Peebles sophomore Jenny Seas continued her dominant fall season with a district title. Just as she had done earlier in the Southern Hills Athletic Conference meet, Seas literally blew away the competition, again crossing the finish line over a minute earlier
than the second place runner. Her time of 18:54.31 will send her breezing into next week's regional race, looking for a return trip to the state meet in Columbus. Seas will not be the only girl from Adams County to make the trip to Pickerington on Saturday for regional competition. The top six teams and individuals not on those teams but in the top 24 advance on to regionals and this year that will include West Union freshman Anna Shupert and Manchester senior Shyanne Tucker, who grabbed the last two available spots. Shupert was 23rd with a time of 21:54.56, with Tucker right behind in 24th in a time of 22:05.95. Two teams from the Southern Hills Athletic Conference will be mak-

ing the trip to Pickerington, as both the Fairfield Lady Lions and Eastern Lady Warriors qualified for regionals, placing fourth and sixth respectively in the team standings. On the boys side, it will be Coach Vic Bowman taking his Manchester squad back to the regional competition as the Greyhounds finished sixth in the team standings, good enough to book the trip north on Saturday. The Hounds were paced by junior Ethan Pennywitt, who finished eighth in a race of 196 runners with a time of 17:25.47. When tabulating team scores, the top five runners from a school are the ones that count and after Pennywitt, the Hounds had junior Jamie Combs 30th in a time of 18:18.98, senior Brendon Kessler 55th at

By virtue of their sixth place finish in the Division III District race, the Manchester Greyhounds boys’ cross-country squad will be competing in the regional race this coming Saturday in Pickerington. 19:36.86, freshman Dalton Williams 60th at 19:43.94, and freshman Josh Zamora 65th at 19:49.13. The combination of those five was good enough for the “Dog Pack” to book a trip to the regional. The SHAC will have two more teams in the regional boys race in Division III, including district champion Fairfield and Eastern Brown, who

finished third. In Division III boys, the top seven teams and the individuals not on those teams placing in the top 28 advance, and that meant that Peebles junior Matt Seas will be joining his younger sister in Pickerington on Saturday, also making a return trip to the regionals. Matt Seas placed fifth in the Division III race with a
time of 16:58.5, earning the right to move on. Looking for the coveted spot in the state crosscountry met, all of the Adams County regional qualifiers will travel on Saturday, Oct. 29 to Pickerington North High School. The Division III Boys race begins at 11 a.m., with the girls set to leave the start line at 1:30 p.m.

improved this year. Charlee jumps very well and Brooklyn Stout does a great job of hitting between the block, so they complement each other well.” The tone of the day was set early in the first set when North Adams grabbed a 4-0 lead behind the strong serves of Abby Campton. The Lady Warriors showed resiliency and bounced back quickly, taking a 5-4 advantage on four service points from Maggie Fultz. The set remained close, mainly because both sides were having serving issues, combining for nine service errors. An ace by Jenkins kept North Adams in front, but again the visiting Eastern girls fought back, pulling within 14-13 on a Mikayla Farris kill. After Coach Ragan used a timeout, the Lady Devils reeled off seven of the next eight

The result should have been expected. Put the North Adams Lady Devils volleyball squad on the floor with an opponent from the Southern Hills Athletic Conference and the result is usually the same. After recently winning their 52nd consecutive SHAC match and earning their fourth consecutive gold ball trophy, the Lady Devils found themselves matched up in a Division III sectional final with an SHAC opponent on Oct. 22, the Eastern Brown Lady Warriors, and as they have done to every conference foe in 2016, the Lady Devils claimed a victory in three sets, 25-17, 25-18, 25-10. It was strong play at the
net all afternoon that led the Lady Devils to victory, with the combination of Madison Jenkins and Charlee Louden garnering 23 kills, while junior setter Sydney Kendall contributed 32 assists as the North Adams Girls captured the Division III sectional title. “I thought Eastern played really well today,” said North Adams head coach Katie Ragan. “They seemed to get a hand on a lot of balls that normally go to the floor. We had to play some longer rallies in order to get points and I thought their defense was good and especially the first set when they forced into more errors than I like to see.” “Madison does a really good job for us up at the net and her serving and hitting percentages have

Kills by Louden and Avery Harper gave the home team a 2316 lead and the first set

Louden kill. With North Adams up 9-7, the Lady Warriors rebounded with five straight, spurred by the serves of Sydney Dotson, but with Brooklyn Stout up to serve, the Lady Devils took back the advantage at 15-13, but again the combination of Jenkins serving and Louden hitting clicked and pushed the North Adams lead to 19-14. The Lady Devils maintained that margin and after two Eastern points, kills by Harper and Stout plus a pair of Kendall service points gave the hosts a 25-18 win and a commanding two sets to none lead in the match. Up by two sets and smelling blood, the Lady Devils jumped out early in the third set behind the serves of Campton, leading 10-4 and forcing an Eastern timeout. After the timeout, the Lady Warriors regained some of their composure and with a nice block by Haley Fannin, drew within 11-6, but the Lady Devils always seemed to have an immediate answer and four service points from Maddie Toole made it 19-8 and the season of the Lady Warriors was fading fast. Toole's streak of service points stretched out to seven and made it 228, and two more kills by Jenkins and a nice tip to an open spot by Stout slammed the door shut and gave the Lady Devils another straight set win at 25-8, and more importantly gave North Adams another Southeast District Division III sectional championship. “My girls love the game of volleyball and they work at it a lot,”

The Lady Devils’ Madison Jenkins, right, tries to get her hands on a ball blocked by Eastern Brown’s Mikayla Farris in a match won by North Adams in three sets, 25-17, 2518, and 25-10. said Coach Ragan. “They work very well together and we have had quite a bit of success lately and hopefully that will continue.” The win moved the number three seeded Lady Devils (20-3) on to the district semi-finals

ROUTINE EYE EXAMS BRING BIG BENEFITS Routine eye exams often lead to the detection of eye problems that otherwise go unnoticed, particularly among older adults. According to a study of the medical data of nearly 6,400 people who had their eyes examined over the course of one year, 16 percent were diagnosed with a new eye condition and 31 percent were prescribed changes in their ongoing eye care. More than half of those with no new symptoms or vision problems received new prescriptions or treatment changes. While only 8 percent of the children examined were found to have an eye problem or need a prescription change, 78 percent of adults aged 65 and older needed changes as the result of undergoing a routine eye exam.

Please call KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE at 606.759.7883 or 800.658.7282 to schedule an appointment for a comprehensive eye examination. We stress preventive health care for the entire family. Your eyesight is priceless – protect it! We’re located at 1937 Old Main St., Suite 1, Old Washington. P.S. The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that those aged 65 years and older undergo a comprehensive eye examination every one to two years even if they do not have symptoms.

young and relatively inexperienced group, the Hounds have only managed to pick up one win in their first nine outings, and the latest defeat came on Oct. 21 at the hands of the Miami Valley Christian Academy (MVCA) Eagles. It was a chilly Homecoming Night at Greyhound Stadium and the visiting Eagles used a high-flying running attack to pound the Hounds by a final score of 43-6. The damage began early as the Eagles took the opening kickoff and traveled 55 yards in eight plays, getting a six-yard touchdown run from sophomore Seth Henderson as MVCA went up 6-0. The first Manchester offensive series ended badly as the Hounds went three and out and punter Trent Dryden could not handle the snap of a cold and wet football and the Eagles took over on the Greyhound 12. One play later, the visitors were in the end zone again and with the extra point kick by Nick Hoyle, led 13-0 just six minutes into
the contest. The Greyhound offense produced another three and out and the Eagles again took quick advantage, this time 48 yards in seven plays, culminating in a two-yard scoring run by MVCA's Brandon Conklin. That was just part of a big night for the Eagles' senior, who went on to put up 206 rushing yards. The Hoyle extra point gave MVCA a 20-0 advantage. When they got the ball back, the Hounds put together their best offensive drive of the night, keeping the ball for nine plays, but coming up empty. After connections from quarterback Marcus Neeley to receivers Shaun Gould and Jase Thatcher plus a pass interference flag on the Eagles, an incomplete pass forced another punt. The next few minutes were an early preview of the Christmas season, with each team passing out gifts, beginning with the Eagles fumbling away the ball and seeing it recovered by Manchester's Luke Thompson. To return the favor, a bad snap got away from Neeley and MVCA's Joe Lusby fell on the ball. Mimicking what the Hounds had just did, a bad snap by the Eagles was recovered by Manchester's Shaun Gould, giving the Greyhounds great field position at the MVCA 34, but the offense went backwards in three plays and was again force to punt it away. Taking over at their own 22, the Eagles wasted little time, driving 78

yards in five plays, the final 34 coming on a Henderson run and the extra point gave MVCA a 27-0 halftime lead. The Hounds got a break early in the third quarter when Thompson broke through the line to block an MVCA punt and this time the home
team took advantage, though it was a struggle. Taking over at the Eagle 45, Neeley connected on a long pass to receiver Bryan Young, who was seeing his first action of the 2016 season, coming back from injury. That put Manchester in the red zone where they later got a Patrick Baldwin scoring run that was nullified by a holding penalty. Another
bad snap cost the Hounds 11 yards and eventually set up a fourth and goal from the 25. Neeley lofted a pass towards the goal line where Young went up between two defenders to haul it in and finally get the home team on the board. The twopoint conversion pass failed and with 3:33 left in the third period, the Hounds were down 27-6.

The turnover bug returned to both sides late in the third when first an MVCA fumble was recovered by Manchester's Thatcher, but the Hounds gave it right back when a Neeley pass was picked off by the Eagles' Gavin Bangert. MVCA turned that interception into points on a 28 yard scoring run by Conklin and the third quarter ended
with the Eagles on top 34-6. Early in the fourth quarter, the Eagle got on the board again after the Hounds botched another punt snap and Conklin went 19 yards for the score that made it 41-6 and to add insult to injury, the Hounds were tackled in the end zone for a safety on their next possession, accounting for the final points in a
43-6 MVCA victory. With the defeat, the Greyhounds dropped to 1-8 on the year and have one more opportunity to pick up a victory this coming Friday night when they host a muchimproved Hillcrest squad on Senior Night at Greyhound Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m..

When sarcasm isn’t funny
Sarcasm. It’s like a light-hearted joke on steroids. It’s tainted with humor, but a little rougher around the edges. Delivered at the right moment, and with the right timing, it can lead to fits of innocent giggles and laughter. Like when our entire family was snuggled in to watch a movie together, and our sweet, fluffy little golden retriever puppy came in to snuggle with us. Everyone was fighting for the real estate closest to the puppy, and then that cute little ball of fur passed gas like a grown man. One of the kids said, ‘That smells awesome!’ and everyone busted out laughing as we scattered for a clean breath of air. It was even funnier because the puppy just looked at all of us, as if to ask, ‘What did I do?’ Our family actually uses sarcasm a lot, but it’s a slippery slope from humorous territory into just being rude. The other day, I heard my kids pointing sarcasm at each other, and it didn’t sound funny. It sounded hurtful. I believe it’s healthy to be able to laugh at yourself and take a joke. It’s actually an essential part of building a healthy selfesteem, because nobody wants to hang out with the person who pouts every time other people say something funny about them. But there is a difference in joking around with someone and pointing hurtful sarcasm at someone. If they are truly just joking around, the other person thinks it’s funny too. If the ‘joke’ is told and the other person doesn’t laugh, maybe it was taken too far. It brought to mind one day when I was very obviously pregnant with my fifth child, and I was toting the other four in to the library to do research for a school paper. A man I had never seen before looked at my belly and said, ‘The world has enough kids. Don’t you know how to stop that?’ I think he thought he was being funny, but what I heard (in my very emotional state) was, ‘You already have four kids. You don’t need another one.’ It made me instantly question myself. Did this stranger see something that made him think I wasn’t being a good Mom? Or, when I found myself starting life over at age 39 and I was scared and vulnerable and uncertain about the future. Someone sarcastically told me, ‘Sure, you won’t spend the rest of your life alone

because every man wants an almost 40 year old woman with five kids.’ Ouch. I didn’t hear the humor in that remark. At all. What I heard was, ‘Nobody will ever love you and your kids enough to want to be a part of your life.’ He walked away chuckling, probably not giving it a second thought. But just that quickly, I walked away feeling as if an already difficult situation was just taken to a different level of despair. I felt like I was one more smart remark away from losing it all together. So, yes. When I heard my kids pointing sarcasm at each other over lunch in my kitchen, I got angry. The way I see it, it’s just a cowardly way to insult other people. If people think the fake smile that comes with the delivery is somehow supposed to make a hurtful remark not matter, they’re wrong. The words stick even after they give you that pat on the back and say, ‘It’s all in fun, right?’ My question is, who is it fun for? Because if someone leaves more upset than they were before it was said, it probably wasn’t fun for them. And it seems easier still to direct mean little oneliners to others over social media and texting these days. You don’t have to be brave while hiding behind a screen. There can be a very profound ripple effect that takes place, so I urge people to think twice before texting, posting, tweeting, commenting, sharing, or saying anything about another person that can be taken the wrong way. You don’t know what is going on in their world when they receive it, and it might do more harm than realized. It’s just not worth it. Sarcasm is going to happen, and I don’t think people usually do it with ill intentions. Most of the time it really is funny. I tend to use sarcasm a lot, so it made me wonder how often I have used it in a way that unintentionally hurt other people. I’ve been known to say things

like, “Yes – Please keeping running and yelling because more noise is exactly what we need in this house.” Hmmm. Did my kids hear that as, ‘Mom doesn’t like to hear our voices.’? Those sarcastic remarks people said to me back then were hurtful at the time, but I tried to remind myself that they big fat don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. As I sit here writing this, my five year old (who I was pregnant with when that comment was made) is drawing a picture of her future family. You know, the one where she wants to have six kids because she loves our big family so much. My husband – who did think an almost 40 year old woman with a herd of kids was worth taking a chance on – completely spoils all of us. He even brought me flowers twice in the last two weeks. So, my challenge today for myself and others is to speak with clear intentions. I want us to think of how it will be heard to the ears of others before it comes out of our mouths. What only takes a few seconds to say could cause hurt that could take a very long time to heal. It takes just as much time to compliment someone as it does to put them down. Take the high road. Choose to be a blessing. Have a great week, everyone!

On Thursday, Oct. 13 the staff at Eagle Creek Nursing Center held an Open House, inviting the members of the local community to a first-look at a brand new unit. PRESS RELEASE
On Thursday, Oct. 13 the staff at Eagle Creek Nursing Center held an Open House, inviting the members of the local community to a first-look at a brand new unit. Over 100 community leaders and business professionals toured the new 21 private bed and bath, short-term stay unit. Beginning with a ribbon cutting ceremony, the visitors had the opportunity to experience the new wing
which includes a new state-of-the-art rehab gym, spa room, and common area complete with a cozy fireplace. During the opening ceremony, Eagle Creek Administrator Jennifer Gardner said, “Eagle Creek Health and Rehabilitation Center has been providing exceptional care in Adams County for over 35 years and we look forward to continuing this tradition. Our new unit will give the comforts of home while you or a
loved one are staying with us for a short rehabilitative stay in one of our private suites. We want to thank our current residents, future residents, families, staff, and friends in Adams County for allowing us to do what we love most.” Eagle Creek Health and Rehabilitation Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurances. You may contact Justin McGowan at Eagle Creek Health and Rehabilitation Center for more information.
or his friend. Three missed opportunities that changed Mary’s life. Miraculously, Mary got better. She spent weeks in a rehabilitation hospital relearning the basics of life. I saw her in the office not long ago. While it will take a year of hard work and no income before she can
return to work, she is grateful to be alive. If you won’t get a flu shot to protect yourself, do it for someone you care about, or even for a perfect stranger. Flu shots or more information about influenza are available at the Adams County Health Department.
Do it for someone you care about I would like you to meet a special patient of mine. While Mary isn’t her real name, her story is true and she asked me to share it with you. A single mom with a full time job, life always offered a challenge or two, but life was good. One such challenge came in the early morning hours last spring when she awoke with horrible body aches. She hurt everywhere. Despite having had a good night’s sleep, she felt exhausted and reluctantly called her boss and told him she wouldn’t be at work that day. She knew what she had, her son was sick with it earlier in the week. He caught it from his best-friend at school. Both were better in a couple of days. She would be fine. By mid-morning the cough started. She had chills and a fever of 103-degrees by noon. Two hours later, Mary felt short of breath and her chest hurt with every cough. She dreaded calling her parents, but she knew she wasn’t going to be fine. In the Emergency Room her chest X-ray showed pneumonia in both lungs and the amount of oxygen in her blood stream was dangerously low. Her worried doctor called it respiratory failure and worked all night to get her lungs to function better. In the morning, the helicopter came for her.

Adams Co. Health Commissioner Mary doesn’t remember much about her stay at the teaching hospital, but she spent a month in the Intensive Care Unit as a ventilator breathed for her. Her parents watched helplessly as organ systems failed one by one. When her kidneys stopped working, a dialysis machine appeared at her bedside. Liquid food provided nourishment through a tube snaked up her nose and down into her stomach. Grim-faced doctors tried to prepare her parents for that which no parent can be prepared for. Perhaps, the most tragic news came from the laboratory. Mary had H1N1 Influenza A, a virus infamous for striking young, otherwise healthy people particularly hard. It was one of the influenza viruses protected against in last year’s flu shot. But Mary didn’t get a flu shot last year, neither did her son

October is National Bully Prevention Month at PES SUBMITTED BY SARAH HARDIN Throughout the month of October, students at Peebles Elementary have taken part in several activities to promote National Bully Prevention Month. The theme of the month was “Stomp Out Bullying”. Each week, students had the opportunity to participate in different activities. On Oct. 3, PES kicked off the month to support bully prevention by wearing blue shirts for “Blue Shirt DayWorld Day of Bully Prevention”. The rest of the week, students were provided bully education lessons by the school counselor. The lessons included defining bullying, ways to prevent bullying, and how to handle a bullying situation. For the second week of the month, each student wrote what they would do to prevent bullying on a boot cut-out. The boots were displayed on a wall that was titled, “Together We Can Stomp Out Bullying”. For the third week of October, each classroom was provided with a kindness bucket. The students wrote down kind behaviors they caught others displaying to fill up their classroom bucket. The following are responses that were put in kindness buckets: “I caught Dameon being kind, he was tying Alex’s shoe”, “I caught Walker helping with

Brayden being kind, he was giving pencils to people who didn’t have any.” A poster contest was also held for students to showcase their ideas to prevent bullying. Each of the con-
testants worked extremely hard on their posters. Students at Peebles Elementary continue to work together to display positive character traits to prevent bully situations.
Happy Halloween! Halloween is a wonderful fun day for our Trick-orTreaters so please be aware of increased foot and vehicle traffic out there. The potential for automobile related accidents with young pedestrians increases four times on this night according to a Center for Disease Control study. Children and adults tend to be preoccupied and may not pay as much attention to safety as they should. They may not see your vehicle or just assume that you see them automatically. Safety Tips for Drivers: • Don't use a cell phone or other electronic device while driving on Halloween night. You shouldn't be doing this anyway, the rate of cell phone related auto accidents have jumped dramatically since the use of cell phones and texting. • Pay extra attention, particularly to crosswalks, intersections and the side of the road. Kids tend to walk along the curbs, cutting across the street to get to other homes. Keep scanning all around you as you drive. • Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. This will allow you time to break if you see a child dart in front of you. • Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway, they could be dropping off children. This is more common in rural areas but can happen anywhere. • Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. Let them know if they carry a flash light to never shine it in the eyes of a driver. This can cause temporary driver blindness and they may not see your child. • If you are dropping off or picking up your kids in an area, pull off the road into a safe spot and turn on your hazard lights to alert other motorists. If you go with your kids from door to door, leave the hazard lights on so other drivers can see your parked car. The West Union Senior Club will have their carry-in dinner/meeting on Friday, Nov. 4 at noon which is one
week early because of Veteran’s Day the following week. Any senior 55+ is welcome to attend, just please bring in a dish or a dessert to share and join in for some fun, good food and most importantly, fellowship. They hope to see you there. The Adams County Senior Citizens Office and the Veterans Office will be closed on Friday, Nov. 11, 2016 for Veterans Day. Take time to remember those who have given their time, put their lives on hold, or even gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy here. Remember also those who are currently away from home and their loved ones as the holidays approach. Reach out to our local families who are missing someone serving in the Armed Forces and show them your support and friendship. The Senior Services Levy with a .20 mill increase will be on the Nov. 8, 2016 ballot. Our agency will only receive money from this levy as the renewal, to help with our operating expenses and to provide senior citizens with homecare and/or 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 will go directly to ABCAP to support the Meals on Wheels program for Adams County. If you have any questions, please stop by our agency. State HEAP applications are now available at our agency for the 2016-2017 winter season. We have an aide to assist any senior 60+ with filling out their applications for state assistance only. Call to schedule an appointment at 544-3979. An aide will be at Prather’s IGA on Friday, Oct. 28 from 1- 4 p.m. to distribute HEAP applications and for you to ask questions.
