Four October polls now show the Senator ahead of his Democratic opponent by as many as 17 points. “Thanks to our strong grassroots support across Ohio, we have had an incredible quarter,” said Portman campaign staffer Michawn Rich. “We are continuing to set Ohio fundraising and grassroots records.” Rich said the campaign has surpassed 4.2 million voter contacts through their door-to-door and phone programs.

ALL IN THE NAME OF FASHION The FDA strongly discourages the use of nonprescribed decorative contact lenses, otherwise known as “fashion” contact lenses, which don’t correct vision, but only change the way eyes look. The FDA has cited dozens of reports of corneal ulcers (abrasions which can rapidly lead to visionthreatening infections) and other eye injuries linked to the products. The agency indicated that the unapproved and non-prescribed lenses sometimes led to injury that required corneal transplants to save eyesight. With this in mind, consumers shouldn’t wear decorative lenses unless they are properly prescribed and fitted by an eye care professional. The FDA has approved the prescription-only sale of some contact lenses for cosmetic use, such as colored lenses that are used to alter eye color.
If you demand nothing less than excellent care and results, then choose KENTUCKY EYE INSTITUTE. You're in great hands; we have been setting the highest standards for many years. You get experience and the latest technology. Our entire staff is extremely qualified and experienced in eye care. Let us help make your life a little brighter.

FDA approval of contact lenses guarantees that the lenses were made under sterile conditions. It requires that consumers be told how to insert and care for the lenses in a way that minimizes chances of harmful effects.

Farmers loved to compare what and how they did during the growing season and collecting a high yield in any crop could cause a farmer to see his head and chest swell for at least that one season. In our area, the largest harvest that took place after the tobacco crop was the corn. Corn has always stood out in my mind as what consumed most of our time while the tobacco hung in the barn and cured and until the wheat was sown. Dad raised about 50 acres of corn each year, which at that time was a large amount of corn. We were on the cutting edge with a Wood Brothers onerow corn picker and two box-bed wagons. Unfortunately, there was a drawback to that one-row picker. In our fields two or three rows had to be shucked by hand so that the modern equipment could move through the field without knocking down any rows of corn and losing all the ears that were knocked down. To keep from losing those ears and reducing the average of bushels per acre, here is what my Dad did. He would use his pickup truck or hitch a trailer to a tractor. Then he would assemble as many people as possible to walk the rows and shuck by hand all the corn in those rows and toss it into small piles along the sides of the rows. We then tossed the ears into the vehicle in use which removed the ears from being in the way. It really sounds simple, but it certainly wasn't. It was laborious and time consuming. I also learned that being in the corn rows was dangerous. More than once have I been in the middle of helping and at the age of five or six I was working hard so I could maintain Dad's desire to keep me in his crew. (At that age one could be expendable.) I would be walking along down a row shucking corn when out of nowhere a corn worm would go on the attack and roll down my arm or back. There was only one thing to do in the

We As the corn arrived at live in a county where the crib, the elevator our Health Department delivered it and as one is the only health agency crib filled, another crib became available.

There have been a couple of times that all the cribs were filled and To the Editor, we made places on the The ballot presented to barn floor for temporary the people of the Adams storage as we were in the County by the midst of a bumper crop.

that may see some of our elderly or our small children that don’t have access to any other medical services. The Adams County Health Department is present in our schools, they are out giving vaccinations and flu shots, they help employers provide TB, Hepatitis, and other important tests, and most importantly, they will come to you when it is not so easy to
get an individual to them. It is so important that we keep these services at our local level and that all Adams County residents have access to tests, vaccinations, flu and pneumonia shots, physicals, and just everyday medical questions and answers. The Adams County Health Department has a staff of well-trained medical professionals that live
and work in our community, they know our residents, they know our people with special needs, and they know how important it is to continue these services in a rural county. Please get out on Nov. 8 and vote YES for our Adams County Health Department.
ability to the voters in exchange for their vote. It is a misleading attempt to use incumbency to win one of three seats on the Board of Commissioners for an appointee, trying to bypass the election. The Republican ballot has the intended result of denying people the right to select one Commissioner in the 2016 election. This violates the Constitution of the United States, Amendment XIV, Section 1 that states explicitly that no State shall make or enforce any laws that abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States...nor deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws. According to the Constitution the people cannot be forced to surrender their privilege of electing all three of their County Commissioners, not even for the reason that the Republican Committee was unprepared for the contingency of needing an alternate candidate for the 2016 election and prefers making appointments to this elected office. The purpose of staggering elections for equivalent public offices is to maintain experience, and to prevent all
the incumbents from competing for re-election in the same year. It would be wrong for an incumbent United States Senator to use the staggered election calendar established by the United States Constitution to run for redundant office, hoping that in the event of his election to both seats he could vacate one and allow a Governor to make an appointment to the other. The 2016 Republican ballot for County Commissioner is defective for similar reasons. The outcome is unconstitutional. The appointment is illegitimate. It violates the constitutional protection of the electorate's participation. The staggered election calendar for the Board of Commissioners was not intended to allow manipulations of procedure to prioritize the ambitions of candidates or political committees at the expense of the voting privilege of the people. The flaws in the 2016 Republican ballot could be avoided by a straight forward commitment to offer the people a fair election. Using the system as it is intended, the people would learn about new candidates that aspire to hold office. The correct procedure would name the
candidate for the Republican appointment on the ballot to compete with Democrat Mr. Richard M. Dryden, who is actively campaigning before the electorate for the open office. The, as yet, unidentified candidate for the Republican appointment could lose, but the people would exercise the vote. The results of a fair election include learning to accept the loss. People who prioritize winning, and harm our trust system that protects our voting rights, have gone astray. They make unworthy councilors. The people deserve the solemn commitment of political committees, at every level, to uphold and protect the Constitution when they create the ballots that identify candidates for public office to the electorate. The defective Republican ballot, offering the redundant candidate for County Commissioner, should not be placed before the voters on Election Day, in November 2016 because it violates the Constitution of the United States of America.
the woman be strong, makes life easier for me”. But how many are being that callous? What if men had abundant work, money in their pockets, a feeling of purpose, and yes, happy to bring home the bacon? Now ladies, we do like our independence, our careers, and having our babies, but don’t deny we like the bacon.
This is one of many reasons why I love Donald Trump. The man not only sets the bar for what a man can achieve and how to treat a woman, he also has a proven record of making mega buildings and work contracts and he has the heart and will for our country to do it. He will bring down out debt and fix our economy.
Oh, you can have the woman’s lib thing, which sends our men home to mommy. I’ll take a strong, in-charge man any day and there is nothing like Jobs to Make America and “our” men great again. Vote Trump!

The main attraction of last weekend’s Jack Roush Day in Manchester was the Car Halloween is just around the corner but it looks like the driver of this vintage Show, which attracted vehicles from all over, including this very sharp Ford Mustang. vehicle may have spent too much time on the highway.
When self-pruning is in order, get rid of the ‘dead’ stuff One can just imagine these “hot rods” roaring on the streets in days gone by.
Racing stripes and many other designs were on display on Sunday at the Car Show in Manchester.
I googled some information the other day about when it’s the best time to prune trees, and I logged off thinking that right now is definitely the right time. But not for my trees. The article said that pruning is most necessary when branches are dead, wounded or diseased because it poses a risk to the rest of the tree. Left unattended, it could give way to rot and disease to spread from the dead

wood to the live flesh. There was a picture of a tree before and after it had been pruned, and it was so much more beautiful with all of the dead stuff cut out. Surely doing that must provide more strength for the live parts to grow. It made me wonder what ‘dead stuff’ we might need to cut out of our own lives? What kind of things are posing a risk to our physical and spiritual well-being?

Benjamin: Found out the break in his arm was near the growth plate, so instead of getting the splint off, he got a cast for four weeks and can’t play in the baseball tournaments. But, at least it’s the end of the season, the cast is waterproof this summer, and it also glows in the dark. For that, we are blessed. On the way home, something on the Traverse broke and it started making horrible sounds and I missed my beautiful niece's birthday party. I have no idea how I’m going to get the Traverse fixed, but God will provide. In the meantime, He also provided me with wonderful friends who let me borrow their car, and my niece had a great party anyway and now we get to have cake twice. For that, I am blessed. Trip #2 to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital: As soon as I got home, I had to turn around and go back with Emily, who had terrible tummy trouble. We were scared for awhile, but all is well and we got to come home. Thank you to my amazing family and friends who knew and prayed, offered your help, support, and encouraging words. For you, I am blessed. Just got home at 1:30 a.m., and while trying to open the door, put my hand on a spider the size of a mouse. Had a near heart attack! But I have this beautiful house on this beautiful farm that my children love to come home to. For that and the people who love my kids and I enough to allow that to happen, I am blessed. Today was a horrible day, but the blessings that bring joy were still there. Just not in the ways I thought. I'm glad my eyes were opened to them before I end my day so I can go to bed with a thankful heart. Be joyful always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in ALL circumstances. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18) I remember that night with vivid clarity. I actually went to bed and got back up to write that post, because I felt so emotionally saturated in despair that I couldn’t see the blessing through the proverbial unpruned trees. I did some spiritual pruning in order to remind myself of how blessed I actually was. Then I could breathe again. If you are currently struggling with a burden, I hope that you can do the same. As a footnote: God did provide. A friend fixed my Traverse and refused to take payment. I was grateful, I

I knew it could be bad. When I first looked at the schedule, it was obvious that the first six weeks could be really ugly, and so far for the Cincinnati Bengals, it has been even worse than ugly. A team that was expected to contend for a Super Bowl berth is now relegated to being an under .500 team with a looming trip to Foxboro to likely take a drubbing from Brady and Belichick worse Mark than the Carpenter one Sports Editor Sunday from Dak and Zeke. The question on the lips of every Bengals fan is simply, “Where did it go wrong?” This team was applauded as having the most talented roster in the NFL, but they are certainly not showing it. The season is definitely on the brink, three games behind the Steelers in the division and not even in the wild card conversation at the moment. Now, granted a few good weeks can change that, but has this team shown you anything to make you think they can reel of five or six wins in a row. The first responsibility has to start at the top with head coach Marvin Lewis. When Lewis took over this team over a decade ago, he changed a losing culture to a winning culture, weeded out a lot of eggheads, and turned the Bengals into an organization that was admired all over the league, but now? The window of opportunity in any professional sport is short and could it be that the window for the Bengals shut last year when the team likely had the best shot at making a Super Bowl that imploded on a rainy January night. Personally, I want to see Lewis show some fire-grab a face mask and chew out a player, yell at an official, say something in a news conference that will get you fined by the NFL. Though he coached for the enemy, show a little Bill Cowher. Bengals fans would probably pitch in to pay the fine. It almost seems sometimes like Lewis is too nice of a guy (remember Dusty Baker?). Who gets held accountable for debacles like Sunday in Dallas? Offensive lineman, you just got blown away all day by the Dallas defense, time for someone else to give it a try. Have you ever seen anyone on the Bengals get benched for poor play? I am not in the locker room daily, but if athletes get so comfortable that they don't worry about their jobs, it can certainly spill over on to the field. If I didn't show up here in the office on our deadline day to get the paper finished, I would likely be on the hot seat very quickly. Is anyone in stripes being held accountable? Another thought-the coaching staff had 10 days to prepare and did you see anyone at all who looked prepared for anything the Cowboys did? It wasn't hard for the average fan to know how the Cowboy offense was going to operate but the Bengals' coaches couldn't figure it out? Game management and in-game adjustments have been nearly nonexistent with this team.

Postseason trail begins this weekend for county squads BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
After the regular season action concludes this week, it is time for the Adams County fall sports squads to turn their attention beyond and to the postseason, which will begin with soccer action this coming weekend. The Southeast District released their volleyball and soccer brackets on Sunday afternoon and now the local teams know where and when their postseason aspirations will begin. In Division III Volleyball, Coach Katie Ragan and her North Adams Lady Devils, who sported a 15-2 mark at the time of the draw, earned a number three seed and will face another member of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference when they host the sixth seeded
Eastern Brown Lady Warriors (10-8) on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. in a sectional championship match. If the Lady Devils get past Eastern, they will move on to Waverly High School and the district semi-finals, with a likely match up with number two seeded Southeastern, a team that North Adams defeated in five sets back on Aug. 23. Also in Division III, Coach Debbie McClanahan and her West Union Lady Dragons (512), who have steadily improved as the season has progressed, grabbed a number eight seed and will host number nine seed Northwest (5-12) on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. in a sectional semi-final contest. If the Lady Dragons top the Lady Mohawks, they will move on to a sectional championship game on Oct. 22 at 4 p.m. with the
tough task of traveling to number one seeded Adena (14-5). Rounding out Division III volleyball is Coach Katrina Obenshain and her Peebles Lady Indians (512), who earned a number seven seed and will host Lucasville Valley (2-11) in a sectional semi-final battle on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. Should the Lady Indians get past Valley, they move into the sectional finals on Oct. 22 at second seeded Huntington. In Division IV, firstyear head coach Kaci Compton will have her Manchester Lady Greyhounds (5-12) looking to defend their sectional championship when they open play on Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. on their home court against fellow SHAC member Whiteoak (2-14) in a semi-final affair. To defend their sectional title, the Lady Hounds will have
Lady Devils knock off Peebles on Volley For the Cure Night North Adams one win from fourth consecutive gold ball trophy BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
It was yet another night in Adams County that combined the county's love of sports with its love of giving as North Adams High School hosted the annual “Volley For the Cure” game, raising money for the Susan B. Komen Foundation and the fight against breast cancer. The opponent annually is the Peebles Lady Indians and the site rotates each year, with 2016 being the year for the Lady Devils to host. Besides two volleyball matches to be played, there were numerous other activities planned, including a silent auction, a game called t-shirt spot serving, and the auction of two volleyballs autographed by the two teams, which together brought in nearly $2,500. All total, the night raised $4,824 for cancer research. “Our team really loves the Volley For the Cure Night,” said North Adams
head coach Katie Ragan. “The girls, their parents, and the whole community work weeks in advance to get everything ready for tonight. So many people help and donate to make it a wonderful night for us and the Peebles community. We had a great crowd tonight as we always do with Peebles.” After a JV match won in three sets by North Adams, the two varsity squads took the court, both wearing special tshirt jerseys for the night, pink for North Adams and white for Peebles. For the Lady Devils, the match had another bit of importance as they were again putting their Southern Hills Athletic Conference winning streak on the line, which stood at 50 before the match and was extended to 51 by evening's end as the home team rolled to a three-set win over their guests, 2512, 25-11, and 25-17. The theme for the night would be the inability of the Lady Indians to handle

the serves of North Adams and that was evident as the first set began when the Lady Devils' Abby Campton, who recently set the school record for service aces in a single season, banged out three straight points to give her team an early advantage, even though their performance early on was bit flat, which led to Peebles rallying to take a 9-8 lead, but that was soon to change dramatically. With the Lady Indians on top 12-10, North Adams senior Maddie Toole stepped to the service line, and 15 points, three aces, and a couple of kills at the net by Madison Jenkins later, the first set was over, with the Lady Devils taking a stunning 25-12 win.

Lady Dragons finish as District Runners-Up West Union will only lose one senior for 2017 season BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER
The 2016 golf season came to a close on Oct. 4 for the West Union Lady Dragons, but it certainly will go down as one of the finest seasons for girls' golf in school history. The Lady Dragons captured the Southern Hills Athletic Conference Tournament and also a Division II sectional title, playing with a young group that only boasted of one senior. The season's close came in the Division II District Tournament at the Upper Landsdowne Golf Course as the lady Dragons ran into the buzz saw that Coach Carl Schneider expected in the Waterford Lady Wildcats. There was only one team from districts allowed to move on to state and with Waterford having the top three individual golfers in the tournament, the Lady Cats moved on once again. “Our girls faced an uphill battle against a See Worried / B2 Waterford team made up of mostly juniors and with
two years of state tournament experience,” said Schneider. “Our girls played well, with the lowest District Tournament score in school history. The girls all were within a few strokes of each other so the consistency was nice.” Sophomore Alex Clark paced the Lady Dragons at districts, firing a 49 on the front nine and then a 44 on the back to finish at 93, which was good for a tie for fifth in the overall individual standings. Next up for West Union was another sophomore, Lindsey Daniel, who scored a 99 (51-48), followed by yet another sophomore, Lucy Kersey at 100 (52-48). Senior Mackenzie Smith finished her high school golf career with a 103 (5251) and finally, sophomore DeAnna Caraway sho t a 188 (65-53). “”DeAnna had a rough day, but she was playing through a knee injury that has been bothering her for two weeks,” said Coach Schneider. “Alex had a couple of bad bounces or she could have

Leading 16-10, the Lady Devils again brought Campton to the line and again the junior came through, reeling off six points, including three more aces to add to her growing record, as the home team took a commanding 22-10 advantage. After Peebles got one point back, North Adams' Brooklyn Stout served the set's final two points in her team's 25-11 win to go up two sets to none.

ments have been nearly nonexistent with this team. Again, who is accountable? Hopefully you are football savvy enough not to blame the quarterback. Under extreme pressure all season and with few options it seems on offense, Andy Dalton has played admirably. The running game has been non-existent, the offensive line has been horrid, and if AJ Green isn't open, the passing game has been a challenge, though no fault of Dalton's. Hue Jackson may be 0-5 in the abyss known as the Cleveland Browns, but do you think the offense might be missing him just a bit? This was supposed to be the year that Jeremy Hill played with a big chip on his shoulder and ran wild-so far, no good, and the team never uses Giovani Bernard enough to take full advantage of his talents. On the other side of the ball, how is Mike Zimmer looking to you now? That brings up another point-have the Bengals let too much tal-
the scoreboard. Back came the Lady Indians behind the serves of Hope Brown and Madison Pierce to trail just 12-11 and a later pair of service points from Baylee Justice put Peebles on top 14-13, but soon after the problems with the serve bit the Lady Indians for the final time. With the set tied at 15, North Adams got three service points from Jenkins and then four more from Kendall and with the help of some strong net play from Charlee Louden, took a 23-16 lead. Two points later, a set from Kendall to Campton resulted in a volley that the Lady Indians could not return and North Adams had number 51 in a row as they took the third set and the match 25-17. “Give Peebles credit,” said Coach Ragan in her postgame radio interview. “They were scrappy and they got after the ball and made things tough for us. We got blocked a little more
ent get away, both on the sidelines and on the field? Besides Zimmer and Jackson, how about Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu? It is rather obvious that those two weapons are missed and the replacements have not panned out through five games. How would Reggie Nelson look in the secondary right now? How would anyone look on the defense right now that could actually tackle someone? The sad part is that all of us as Bengals fans know that nothing is going to change anytime soon. Mike Brown values loyalty and he isn't going to have heads roll in the middle of the season, even with a team that has gone 6-8 since their 8-0 start against a weak schedule last year. Did anyone notice that the Ravens fired their offensive coordinator after five games? That is not happening in Cincinnati. I just heard a radio talk show host discussing that very fact, that maybe the coaches are so comfortable that they have no worries about job security. I certainly don't like seeing anyone lose their job, thought I think their pay might sustain them for
than usual tonight and we didn't cover the floor very well at times. It's a fun night but it is hard to get them to focus on volleyball sometimes.” With both teams knowing their postseason opponents, the task this week is to close out the regular season, and the Lady Devils were back in action on Monday night with a non-conference road trip to Northwest. Thursday night will be a big night for North Adams as a win over Ripley at home can secure their 52nd SHAC win in succession, meaning a fourth consecutive gold ball trophy. The Lady Indians were in SHAC action on Monday night with a trip to Fairfield and then hosted Ripley on Tuesday night. A busy week continued with a non-conference home match with New Boston on Wednesday, before they closed out the regular season on Thursday night by hosting West Union. awhile. Now we dread what is going to happen on Sunday when the best coach in the NFL, like him or not, is scheming right now and likely laughing and thinking, “this won't be too hard at all.” The Bengals have just gotten the proverbial buttwhipping in Dallas and now have to try to right the ship in New England. I am sorry but I don't have a lot of faith in that happening. We know how it will go...it may stay close for awhile, Belichick will make adjustments, the Bengals coaches won't, and you know the rest. I am trying my best to look ahead and find some glimmer of light at the end of this dismal tunnel, but it is getting more and more difficult. It is basically “put up or shut up” time for this team and we will certainly see what they are made up of on Sunday. No matter how bad it might get, I will still be there in front of the television, hoping for the best but expecting the worst. At least it beats watching Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Rockets dominate both sides of ball in shutout win BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
Perhaps the odds were stacked against the Manchester Greyhounds varsity football squad before the game in Fayetteville last Friday night even began. The contest was scheduled for a 7 p.m. start for Fayetteville's Homecoming, but that never happened. Because of the fugitive situation on Friday afternoon, the Manchester schools were on lockdown, leaving no bus available to transport the Hounds to northern Brown County. By the time that the Manchester students were dismissed and the buses rolled back around to pick up the football team, it was already past the scheduled game time and for the Greyhounds, it was all downhill after that. Arriving late and having to rush through warm ups, the Hounds struggled all night and were just never “in it” as they suffered their worst loss of the 2016 season, falling to 1-6 with a 61-0 drubbing at the hands of the host Rockets. The Greyhounds got the ball first on Friday night and actually put together their best drive of the game, starting at their own 45, picking up a couple of first downs, and moving into Rocket territory before the Fayetteville defense held on fourth down and forced a turnover on downs. The Rockets took over on their own 25 and two plays later, the rout was
on. Senior running back Chase Jester, who had already surpassed the 1,000 yard mark for the season, took off on a 55yard jaunt on the Rockets' first play from scrimmage and on the second snap, quarterback Luke Wiederhold ran it in from 25 yards out. The extra point kick by Clay Davis was good and the home team never looked back. The Hounds went three and out on their ensuing possession and again, the potent Rocket offense took just two plays to go 55 yards, with Jester breaking the school's single season touchdown record by rumbling 25 yards to pay dirt and with the Davis extra point, it was quickly 14-0 Fayetteville. The downhill spiral continued for the Greyhounds on their next possession,when quarterback Marcus Neeley's long pass was picked off by the Rockets' Chase Lockwood and again the Fayetteville offense marched 55 yards, only this time it took five plays, with Jester scoring again from 14 yards out, The extra point was wide left but the Rockets had a commanding 20-0 advantage with 2:40 left in the opening quarter. The Hounds turned it over again when Neeley was intercepted by Lockwood once more, and the return set up the Rockets on the Manchester 9. After a penalty on Manchester, Fayetteville's Austin Brockman took hand off and scored from five yards out and the extra point made it 27-0 after the first period.
The second quarter was no kinder to the visitors as the Hounds were forced again to punt and a five yard scoring pass from Wiederhold to Davis plus the Davis extra point stretched the Fayetteville lead to 34-0. Another Greyhounds three and out meant another punt, which in turn soon meant another Rockets touchdown, this time with Jester finding the end zone from nine yards out. The Davis extra point gave the home team a 41-0 lead, which after another Manchester punt, moved to 48-0 on a 44-yard TD scamper by senior Tyler Kingus, which is how the first half ended. With the Rockets scoring on every possession in the first half, the Fayetteville coaching staff had already begun to substitute literally and with the OHSAA required running clock, the second half went by much quicker. The Rockets, who are right in the mix for their first-ever playoff berth, added two more touchdowns and an extra point, which brought the game's final score to 61-0 in favor of the home team, plus a win in the final year of the Ohio Valley Athletic League. The loss dropped the Greyhounds to 1-6 on the year and they will regroup and hit the road for the final time on Friday night, making the long haul to Symmes Valley, before returning home for their final two contests, facing Miami Valley Christian Academy and Hillcrest.

The junior high boys team trophy went to Western Brown with their score 38, with Eastern Brown second and West Union third. Thirty girls made up the high school girls race and the home team defended its turf as West Union's Anna Shupert took the top spot, coming to the chute in a time of 22:22.

Sixth place went to Peebles' Abby Faulkner at 23:44, seventh to Manchester's Billie Kinhalt at 24:04, and 10th to Manchester's Taylor Morrison at 24:45. Rounding out the medalists

The Lady Hounds of Manchester took the high school girls team title with a low score of 32, with West Union second with 40. The day ended with 52 runners in the high school boys race and it was Manchester's Ethan Pennywitt continuing his outstanding fall season, by grabbing first place, Pennywitt, who has already broken the MHS school

Make plans to join the West Union Senior Club for their carry-in dinner/meeting on Friday, Oct. 14 at noon here at the Senior Center. You don’t need to be a member to attend, just bring in a covered dish of any sort to share and enjoy fellowship with some great folks. The Club welcomes anyone aged 55+ to attend. The Senior Services Levy with a .20 mill increase will be on the Nov. 8, 2016 ballot. Our agency receives money from this levy 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 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, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. MediGold, a supplement to Medicare, will have seminars to learn more about MediGold as well as sign-ups at the following locations and dates: ● Oct. 19 at the Adams County Senior Center starting at 11:30 a.m. ● Oct. 19 at the 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. State HEAP applications are now available at our agency for the 20162017 winter season. We have an aide to assist any senior 60+ with filling out their applications for State assistance only. Please call to schedule an appointment at 544-3979. Check us out on Facebook! You can log
on and see what we have going on here by typing inside the Facebook Search bar: “Adams County Senior Citizens Council” to find us. We post daily so click on us to see what may be going on here.
