‘Cruising up and down the main drag all night long’ Hundreds turn out Saturday night in P-Town ‘with no particular place to go’ BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Most Saturday nights in Peebles are a laid-back affair. The town is still, and Main Street is empty but for the occasional car pulling up to one of the
town's two pizza parlors. But last Saturday night the downtown area was just a camera crew shy of fullon American Graffiti – cars bumper to bumper, music pouring out of open windows, horns honking, and people waving and laugh-

ing as they looped the main drag from Ogden's Dairy Bar to the parking lot where Top-Jo Dairy Bar once stood. More than a hundred cars, trucks, and jeeps cruised the route from the north to the south side of town and back again. As Meatloaf once put it, “Cruising up and down the main drag all night long.”
It all started with a single Facebook post: “Thinking about having an 80's Style Cruise-In just like back in the day when everyone
from all over used to come to Peebles to cruise. Let me know what your thoughts are on this, and if you want to do it. Spread the word
and let's take a trip back in time for a night.” The 80's style cruising event was the brain-child of
treatment program for opiate addiction and alcohol addiction using the drug Vivitrol. “Opiate addiction, including addiction to prescription pain medications containing opiates as well as to heroin, is treatable and addicts can recover their lives,” according to Erin Holsted of FRS. Vivitrol is not like
Methadone or Suboxone because it fully blocks the opiate or the alcohol from absorption into the brain and eliminates the physical cravings for the opiate or alcohol. “Cravings are one of the biggest reasons why addicts relapse following detox,” said Holsted. “Using Vivitrol along with

.BY PATRICIA BEECH PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Drug addiction is a reality that is defining the lives of more and more American families, including many in Adams County. The 1970's “junkie” image of drug addicts shooting up in flop houses and back alleys has been replaced by a more frightening reality – the
kid next door overdosing in small-town America. Because the drug problem has invaded every social and economic walk of life, society has had to redefine beliefs and the approach to drug addiction, including treating it not as a crime, but as a disease.

Can’t you just be with me where I am?

Still looking for a special home
LOCAL NEWS
Jack was in his mid 60’s when admitted to hospice for end stage lung cancer. He seemed like a “jack of all trades”, accustomed to hard work, practical, direct and self-determined. He seemed rugged and a little intimidating. He seemed to look right through you. Considering the kind of man that Jack seemed to be, I started off by sharing the philosophy of hospice, that hospice does all it can to help patients live the best they can with the illnesses they have, that our hope is that patients can come to accept their illnesses without resignation, and that if we think that a patient is giving up that we challenge them to continue to live on purpose. Considering the kind of man that Jack seemed to be, I thought he would immediately jump on board with what seemed to be our shared philosophy. But in my zeal, I think I not only got ahead of myself, but I got ahead of Jack too. Jack exclaimed, “Man, can’t you just be with me where I am!” I apologized, slowed down, stepped back, and attempted to recover, but I doubt I ever fully did. It’s been several years since Jack died, and many of the details are blurred, but the memory of starting off on
the wrong foot remains grievously regretful. Why didn’t I start off by exploring LOREN HARDIN what STRAIGHT PATHS was on Jack’s heart and mind? Why didn’t I start off by trying to understand where Jack was and joining him there? After all, I’m a Social Worker, I should have known better. You may have noticed I used the word “seemed” several times in reference to Jack, but it’s not wise to assume who, what, and where a person is because people and things aren’t always what they “seem”. My encounter with Jack reminds me of the lyrics of a song by Francesca Bettistelli titled, “Behind the Scenes”: “You may think I'm just fine. How could anything ever be out of line? I take my time to set the stage; make sure everything is all in place. Even though I've got the lines rehearsed; a picture only paints a thousand words. Things aren't always what they seem; you're only seeing part of me.
There's more than you could ever know, behind the scenes. I'm incomplete and I'm undone; but I suppose like everyone; there's so much more that's going on behind the scenes.” Don’t we all long for someone to be with us where we are, someone to understand? Paul Tournier, Swiss physician, wrote about the power of understanding and feeling understood: “There are some emotions pent up and unexpressed, which block the flow of life. It is rare for people to open their hearts to each other in this way. When I question the person who has just told me something he has never dared to admit to anyone else, he replies, ‘I was afraid of not being understood.’ The feeling that he is understood is what helps him to live, to face any problem, however difficult, without being false to himself. It is a moment of truth, of confidence, of deep emotion, for him - but also for me. I have not understood only with my heard, but my heart. I too will never be the same again.” “A plan in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.” (Proverbs 20:5; American Standard Bible)

Turn your yard into a Butterfly Bistro BY FAYE MAHAFFEY OSUE MASTER GARDENER VOLUNTEER
Think about your favorite restaurant. What do you like about it? Just as the management of a restaurant creates enticing features and menu items that keep you coming back, you can turn your yard into an attractive bistro for butterflies as well. Authors, Jason Neumann and Molly Sterling’s tips for attracting butterflies include: • Advertise: Make your flower beds easy to locate by planting flowers in large diverse groups. • Create ambiance: Provide shelter from the wind as well as cover such as shrubs, shade trees and log piles. Place landing pads and sunbathing perches in open, sunny areas. • Stay “open” all season: Grow nectar plants that bloom throughout the season to provide tasty nectar options for butterflies from spring through fall. • Offer something for everyone: The bill of fare of plants you offer should cater to all different tastes, including both a “main menu” of nectar plants for adult butterflies and a
“kids’ menu” of host plants for caterpillars. • Select flowers that vary in color, height and structure to attract a variety of butterfly species: Stick with wild strains of native plants. Cultivated varieties of native plants are sometimes select4ed based on ornamental traits, not their usefulness as nectar plants. Avoid varieties whose flowers are radically different in shape or color. Open-pollinated natives are also more genetically diverse than cultivars making them more resistant to disease. • Satisfy caterpillars with a customized “Kids’ Menu”: Caterpillars, like human children, are picky eaters. Host plants provide larval butterflies with nutrients, energy, and sometimes even protection from predators. Each caterpillar species will feed on a select few plant species.

PRESS RELEASE
In recognition of National Grandparents Day last Sunday, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is warning families to beware of scams targeting grandparents. More than 30 Ohioans have reported losing money to the "grandparent scam" this year, after they received a phony call claiming their grandchild was in trouble. The average loss was about $4,000. "Scam artists rely on scare tactics and surprise," Attorney General DeWine said. "They'll call, crying, saying 'Hi Grandma' or 'Hi Grandpa.' They'll claim there's been an accident and they need money right away. They're very good actors. They try to catch people off guard so that they send money before they realize it's a scam." The grandparent scam often begins with a phone call saying a grandchild was in an accident, found with drugs, driving under the influence, arrested, or thrown in jail. Grandparents are told to pay to cover bail, medical or hospital fees, attorney fees, or court costs. The callers generally instruct grandparents to go to the store right away to buy gift cards (such as iTunes or Amazon gift cards) and then read the card numbers over the phone. This allows scammers to drain the cards' funds almost instantly. Alternatively, grandparents may be asked to pay via money transfer or even cash. If grandparents pay once, they likely will receive additional calls telling them to send more money to help the grandchild return home safely. Eventually, grandparents discover that their grandchild was not truly in trouble. Here are some tips to prevent grandparent scams: • Communicate with your family members. Talk to your family about scams and discuss how you would communicate during a true emergency. •Verify a caller's claims. If you receive a call about a family member who claims to be in trouble, contact someone else (such as the person's parents) to determine if the person truly needs your help. Be wary if the caller says "Don't tell mom or dad" or asks you not to contact any other family members. This is a tactic used by scammers. When in doubt, ask questions only your real family members would know how to answer, such as the last time you saw each other. • Limit sharing information online. Don't post upcoming travel plans or detailed personal information online, and encourage your family members to take similar precautions. Scammers may use information available online to learn more about their targets and to make their ploys seem believable. Check your account privacy settings and limit who can view your information. • Be wary of specific payment requests. If someone tells you that you must pay using a gift card, prepaid reloadable card, money transfer, or cash, it may be a scam. These payment methods are difficult to trace and used regularly in scams. Once the money is sent, it is very difficult to recover. The Ohio Attorney General's Office warns consumers about scams and offers a variety of educational materials, including a phone scams checklist. To learn more or to report scams to the Ohio Attorney General's Office, visit www.OhioProtects.org or call 800-282-0515.

Cruising
From page A1
Peebles resident R.D. Malcom, who says he came up with the idea after a friend complained that the town was dead. “I thought about it for a couple days then put the idea of cruising on Facebook to see how people would respond and it just exploded everybody was like, 'lets do it'!” You'd have to explain it to anyone under 30. Cruising? What's the point? But for those who grew up in small towns across America between the 1950's and 1990's, cruising was how you spent your weekends. It wasn't just a pastime, it was a rite of passage. For teenagers, it represented a coveted status. You got your driver's license and officially became a member of the cruising culture. Even if you had to drive your parent's car it was your first real taste of freedom, and it

intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment has been shown to be an effective treatment for opiate addiction and alcohol addiction. In addition, medically supported intervention to decrease the most common problems associated with opiate or alcohol detox is available for individuals with an opiate or alcohol use problem during the initial phase of detox. Jim (who has chosen to remain anonymous) is a great example of someone who decided to take his life back. He has been battling addiction for 13 years following an extended period of time on prescription pain pills. “I really didn’t have a way to quit,” he says. “I prayed that God would make a way for me.” Not even one hour later, Jim was arrested at his home and taken to jail. As part of the jail program, he was offered treatment for his addiction. “I was scared to try medically assisted treatment, like counseling and Vivitrol, because of rumors that I'd

was the center of your social life. But, Saturday night's cruise-in wasn't a coming of age event. It was a blast from the past for the town's cruising alumni and their families – without benefit of a DeLorean. “We had people of all ages,” Malcom said, “So next year I'm changing the name to Cruise Fest to cover all the age groups.” Support for the idea of an annual cruise-in was multigenerational and unanimous. PHS Senior Jessica Sowards posted on Facebook, “Tonight was such an awesome experience for me. Glad I got to participate. Definitely should do this more often. Thanks RD for setting up such a great event” 1980's PHS graduate Tanya Evans posted, “It was a blast. Great evening, can't wait to have another one soon.” From the 1970's Randy Franklin posted, “Really
heard about the treatment.” Ultimately, he decided that he could not risk a chance at sobriety by listening to people who were not ready to change. He decided to do the program because it could change his life - and it did. Jim is celebrating sobriety and has been clean and sober since receiving the medically assisted treatment. “Vivitrol totally blocks all the cravings that I used to have and couldn’t shake.” “At FRS Counseling, we celebrate the success of our clients in their efforts to become and stay sober,” said Holsted. “We invite anyone who would like to learn more about this new treatment to contact us at (937)779-3030.” Individuals who would like to learn more about opiate use or alcohol problems or who would like to explore their treatment options should call (937)779-3030 to schedule an initial assessment at the 116 Mulberry Street in West Union FRS Counseling location.
nice seeing the community spirit. Next one needs to be 70's style.” 1960's graduate Eva Hodge, posted, “I think that was awesome, you should at least make it a monthly Cruise-in.” Cruising alumni now living out-of-state followed the event live on Facebook. “We had one guy who came all the way from Tennessee, and a lot of my friends who live out of state couldn't make it, but they plan on being here next year,” said Malcom. “We've already set the date - Sept. 9, 2017, the second Saturday of the month, so it'll be the like the last bash of summer before fall starts, and I expect the second turn out to be a lot bigger than the first.” Malcom queued up seven hours of 80's rock music for the event on his radio station 88.5 WBUZ – The Buzz, and the cruisers listened in sync as they rode the main drag. He also got local businesses involved in
the event. “I asked Ogden's Main Street Dairy Bar to stay open a little longer, and they sold out of their burgers within two hours,” he said. “It was good for the community and for the businesses - the dairy bar, the gas station, and the pizza places all made money.” Inevitably, the nostalgic event raised an obvious question – Should cruising make a comeback? In a small town where there's little else to do, isn't cruising a safer past time for young people than going to parties or driving to distant events? It may be difficult for young people to imagine the simple joy of driving in circles for hours, especially when the alternative is cruising cyberspace where gathering places exist at their fingertips in the pixels of their cell phones. Who knows? Saturday night might have given them a taste of what they're missing.

Help Available to Beat the Heat
Weather reports indicate that temperatures will reach almost 90 degrees in the coming days. The Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities and Ohio Development Services Agency want to remind Ohioans that help is available to stay cool during these hot summer days. Ohioans can contact their local Energy Assistance Provider for resources to cool their homes. A list of providers is available at energyhelp.ohio.gov. The Home Energy Assistance Summer Crisis Program runs from July 1 until August 31, 2016 and provides eligible Ohioans assistance paying an electric bill or assistance paying for central air conditioning repairs. Eligible customers may also receive an air conditioner. The program provides assistance to low-income households with an elderly member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member's health. This can include lung disease; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; or asthma. Ohioans must have a gross income at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines to qualify for assistance. For a family of four the annual income must be at or below $42,525. To apply for the program, customers are required to schedule an appointment with their local Energy Assistance Provider. Customers need to bring: • a copy of their most recent energy bill, • a list of all household members and proof of income for the last 90 days for each member • proof of citizenship or legal resident, and • Physician documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household member’s health (if there isn’t a household member over the age of 60). Eligible households can receive up to $300 if they are a customer of a regulated utility, or $500 if they are a customer of unregulated utilities such as electric cooperatives and municipal utilities. The benefit can be a combination of an air conditioner, and/or utility assistance. Utility assistance is applied to a customer’s utility bill or applied to central air conditioning repair costs. Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus Program (PIPP Plus) are not eligible for bill payment assistance through the program but are encouraged to work with Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities to identify other opportunities for assistance. For more information about the features of the Summer Crisis Program locally, contact Adams Brown Counties Economic Opportunities. Additional information can also be found at www.energyhelp.ohio.gov or by calling the toll-free at (800) 282-0880.

Thanks given and awards presented at AAA7 Annual Appreciation Brunch A6 West Union People’s Defender
PRESS RELEASE
Giving thanks. That was common place at this year’s Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) Annual Appreciation Brunch, which was recently held at the Southern Ohio Medical Center Friends Center in Portsmouth. During the special event, several individuals and groups throughout the Agency’s 10-county district were recognized for their service and dedication to not only the Agency as a whole, but more importantly, the communities and seniors served by the Agency. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 serves the following counties: Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton. Special awards that were presented at the event to individuals or groups included: William A. Jenkins Award (Outstanding Contributor to Our Southern Ohio Aging Network) This year’s Area Agency on Aging District 7 “William A. Jenkins Award” was presented to Bertha Scowden of the Pike County Senior Center/Community Action Committee (CAC) of Pike County. The AAA7 presents the award annually to an outstanding contributor to the southern Ohio aging network. The announcement of the recipient of the award is kept secret until the day of the Appreciation Brunch. The award is named in memory of William A. Jenkins, a native of Gallia County, who helped build the aging network in southern Ohio through the Area Agency on Aging District 7. Scowden, who has been with the CAC of Pike County for the past 39 years, has been an individual the AAA7 has enjoyed working with for many years through her role at the Senior Center. During the award presentation, Pam Matura, Executive Director of the AAA7, acknowledged Scowden for her many years of dedicated service to the aging network and seniors in Pike County. In addition to a special award from the AAA7, Scowden also received special commendations from Ohio Speaker of the House Cliff Rosenberger, and Ohio State Senators Bob Peterson and Joe Uecker. Lifetime Achievement Award This year, the AAA7 presented a special “Lifetime Achievement Award” to Janet Miller, Staff Accountant for Payroll at the Area Agency on Aging
District 7. This special award was a first for the Agency as it has not been presented before. Miller, who will retire September 2016 after over 36 years at the AAA7, began at the Agency as a Bookkeeper in February of 1980. During her employment, Miller has been involved in many Agency committees and has been very active with the local United Way chapter and American Cancer Society Relay for Life. During the award presentation, Pam Matura, Executive Director of the AAA7, commended Miller for her many years of service to the Agency and noted that she will be the first to retire from the AAA7 with the number of years of service she accomplished. Miller also received special commendations from Ohio State Senators Bob Peterson and Joe Uecker, and State Representative Ryan Smith. Community Partnership of the Year Award The Area Agency on Aging District 7 “Community Partnership of the Year Award” was presented to the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Chillicothe, and National Church Residences’ Heritage Day Adult Day Care Center. Both facilities teamed with the Ohio Department of Aging and the Area Agency on Aging District 7 Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Department in a coordinated statewide approach to provide Music and Memory SM to Ohio’s Veterans, their caregivers, and others with cognitive impairment in home and community-based settings. Music and Memory SM is an innovative approach to care developed by New York social worker Dan Cohen that uses personalized playlists on digital music players to help people with dementia and other chronic conditions focus and reconnect with the world around them. Nationally, the primary focus has been on implementing Music and Memory SM in nursing homes and other care facilities; however, Ohio’s effort has been the first effort of its’ kind in this country to make the program available to individuals and families in home and community-based settings. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 Regional Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, Shawnee State University’s Master of Occupational Therapy students, and the Veteran-Directed Home and Community-Based Program through the Chillicothe VA Medical
LOCAL NEWS
Center provided on-site Music and Memory SM training for the staff of the Chillicothe VA Medical Center and Heritage Adult Day Care Center to enable the facilities to implement this program with their clients. Since the implementation of this grant program, the Chillicothe VA Medical Center has placed iPods and individualized playlists into the hands of 21 veterans, and Heritage Adult Day Care Center has provided this specialized approach to 20 individuals. Both agencies are continuing to work with these individuals and adding participants to the program. The Ohio Department of Aging and the Area Agency on Aging District 7 is proud of this collective effort to improve the quality of care for all Ohioans, regardless of where they call home. Music and Memory SM has been shown to help individuals feel happier and more social, build stronger relationships between caregivers and care recipients, and may reduce the use of antipsychotic medications. Educational Partnership of the Year Award The Area Agency on Aging District 7 “Educational Partnership Award” was presented to Christine Raber, Ph.D., professor with the Master of Occupational Therapy Program at Shawnee State University. The award is presented to an individual or group who understands the importance of continued learning surrounding home and communitybased care in the lives of students who are working toward careers that support initiatives in this realm. This past year, Dr. Raber and Shawnee State University’s Master of Occupational Therapy Students teamed with the AAA7 to bring Music and Memory SM into the lives of nursing home residents as well the lives of veterans and adult day care clients. Dr. Raber and her students worked with the AAA7 to provide on-site Music and Memory SM training to the Chillicothe Veterans Affairs Medical Center staff as well as to the staff of Heritage Adult Day Care Center in Chillicothe. After the trainings were completed, Shawnee State OT Masters students worked one-on-one with veterans and adult day care recipients by interviewing them to identify their individual playlists, purchasing the music for them on iTunes, and downloading the music onto the participants’ iPods. Dr. Raber and her students provided 374 hours of volunteer service or $8,700 of in-kind contribution.

Caregiver of the Year Award The Caregiver of the Year Award was presented to Luronda Thacker of Vinton County. Informal caregivers are those unpaid individuals such as a spouse, partner, family member, friend, or neighbor who are involved in assisting others with activities of daily living or medical tasks. 65 million caregivers make up 29 percent of the adult population providing this care in the United States. A Gallup survey in November 2012 found 72 percent of caregivers were caring for a parent, stepparent, mother in-law or father in-law, with 50 percent of these caregivers being employed full-time. Working caregivers often must rearrange their work schedules, decrease their work hours, or take unpaid leave to care for their loved ones. The Caregiver Support Program at the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) was created in 2001 through Older Americans Act funding to assist informal caregivers with information about caring for themselves and their loved ones, providing respite services, and linking caregivers to other needed services. Legislator of the Year
Award The Legislator of the Year Award was presented to State Representative Doug Green, who represents Brown and Clinton Counties in Ohio. Through the Older Americans Act legislation, the Area Agency on Aging District 7 is charged with advocating for older adults and programs that help them live safely and independently in their communities for as long as possible. Educating legislators about important programs and the impact they have on our older population is important in order to ensure proper funding is available to run the programs successfully and make them available to the populations who need them. Adult Protective Services is a program that helps vulnerable adults age 60 and older who are in danger of harm, are unable to protect themselves, and may have no one to assist them. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services supervises the state’s Adult Protective Services program with county departments of Job and Family Services receiving and investigating reports of abuse, neglect and exploitation of vulnerable adults and evaluating the need for protective services. Last year, the AAA7, along with the Ohio Association for Area Agencies on Aging (o4a), conducted advocacy requesting increased funding in the state budget for this important service throughout all of Ohio’s 88 counties. State Representative Doug Green was one legislator who stepped up to support an amendment to increase the funding for Adult Protective Services. Although the final budget did not include the increased funding as requested, it did provide

Dryden’s Overcoming obstacles, Pennywitt etches his name Den: Week 2 in MHS record books Junior runner sets new cross-country in the mark at Mason County Invitational NFL BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
A ton of upsets filled Week One as did key injuries. The Los Angeles Rams were a big disappointment while rookie Carson Wentz and Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo were pivotal parts of dominating victories. Week Two has several big time divisional tilts. My thoughts: Week One: 6-10 TNF: New York Jets at Buffalo - A key AFC East battle with the Bills and Jets coming off tough Scott Dryden losses. New Guest York’s Columnist defense will be the difference. NYJ 23 BUF 17 Baltimore at Cleveland – The Ravens held off Buffalo while the Browns fell flat on their face in Philly. RGIII is out but don’t sleep on Josh McCown – in a close game Baltimore ekes out a victory. BALT 30 CLE 24 San Francisco at Carolina – The Niners surprisingly dismantled the Rams on Monday night. A short week plus a cross country trip – easy pickings for the Panthers. CAR 34 SF 13 Dallas at Washington – The Cowboy rookies will have to step up to win a tough divisional road game. The Redskins bounce back on a short week. WASH 31 DAL 23 Cincinnati at Pittsburgh – The Bengals gritted out a tough victory over the Jets while the Steelers demolished the Skins on MNF. The two hated rivals will once again produce a dandy – to the home team goes the spoils. PIT 30 CIN 24 New Orleans at New York Giants – The Saints lost an emotional home game to the Raiders. A tough game to bounce back from – especially on the road. Eli Manning outduels Drew Brees. NYG 34 NO 31 Miami at New England – The Dolphins gave the Seahawks all they wanted but couldn’t seal the deal. Bill Belichick once again proved why he is the best coach in the game. The Patriots win a hard fought divisional battle. NE 20 MIA 17 Kansas City at Houston – A rematch of last year’s playoff game will feature a different signal-caller for Houston. He will deliver as Osweiler pushes the Texans to 2-0. HOU 27 KC 20 Tennessee at Detroit – The Titans looked bad in a home loss to Minnesota. Detroit on the other hand surprised most with a thrilling win in Indianapolis. The Lions move to 2-0 behind Matthew Stafford’s arm. DET 31 TEN 20 Seattle at Los Angeles – Seattle typically struggles with the Rams. That will again be the case (pun intended) as a raucous crowd and better play from Case Keenum results in a glorious return to Los Angeles. LA 20 SEA 13 Tampa Bay at Arizona –
Sometimes achieving a goal is not an easy task. There are obstacles in the way which sometimes move that goal farther and farther away, but for 16year old Manchester High School junior Ethan Pennywitt, a lifetime goal came to fruition last Saturday afternoon. Reaching a goal that he had set as a youngster, Pennywitt is now the school record holder in boys cross-country as he broke the previous mark with his time of 17:03 in last Saturday's Mason County Invitational. “I was four years old when I ran my first race,” said Pennywitt. “We ran in something called the Dog Pack Challenge and it was just a one-mile race and I think I got second running with elementary kids. When I was like seven or eight, I ran my first 5K at the Shawnee Bear Run and I just kept running 5K races after that and I have never stopped. “I guess it is just some-
thing that I have always done and I have probably run in well over 100 races. I have over 60 medals in my room plus a bunch of trophies for winning.” The junior runner ran six 5K races this past summer and won all six of them. The previous Manchester record was set by Jason Barr in 1997 (17:07) and Pennywitt has had his eyes on that mark for a long time, but the road to the top has not been an easy one for the last few years as he has battled a serious case of celiac disease, which has totally changed the lifestyle and eating habits of he and his family. Celiac disease is something you are born with but it often takes a stressor of some sort to trigger its symptoms. For Pennywitt, that was a dirt bike accident when he was a high school freshman. “I always had these rashes during the summer and we thought it was just poison ivy,” Pennywitt says. The rashes always seemed to be on the back of my legs and I had never
been around any poison ivy. The dirt bike accident started all the pain and sickness and I was so sick for about two months, in an out of hospitals and doctor's offices looking to get straightened out. I had every kind of blood work done, ultrasounds, ER trips at three in the morning because I was in so much pain I couldn't sleep. I had achy pain in my legs but my stomach just felt like being stabbed with a knife. Any time I ate it would hurt and I would just lay on the floor, not able to move. When they did the tests to finally determine the celiac, a high level on the test was considered to be around 30 and I tested out over 200. The doctors said ot was the highest they had ever seen.” “They finally diagnosed me with celiac but it took me about a year to get back to even close to 100%. That is when life in his household took on a major change as all hints of glutens had to be removed, which meant his parents Lonnie and Michelle Bilyeu had to buy all new pots and pans, clean out all the cabinets

Lady Devils roll to 44th consecutive SHAC win North Adams tops West Union in straight sets BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER When a young, rebuilding team in any sport faces off with a strong, established veteran squad, the results may be predictable. That may have been the case on Tuesday night at West Union High School when the young Lady Dragons volleyball squad became another notch in the belt of the North Adams Lady Devils as the Lady Devils continued to march through the Southern Hills Athletic Conference like Sherman marched through Georgia.
With a 43-match SHAC winning streak coming in, the Lady Devils easily extended that to 44 as the quickly disposed of the Lady Dragons in straight sets, 25-5, 25-11, and 257. The beginning of the first set may have been an omen of things to come as the match began with North Adams' Maddie Toole at the service line for eight straight points before an error finally got the home team on the board. The Lady Devils quickly got the serve back and junior Brooklyn Stout fired off four service aces

Lady Dragons get SHAC win, downing Fayetteville 3-1 BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER
It is said that there is a first time for everything and never was that more true than last Monday afternoon at Fayetteville High School. On that afternoon, the West Union Lady Dragons set out to do something they had never done before on the soccer field, defeat the Lady Rockets. Defeat the Lady Rockets they did as a strong all-around effort for the West Union girls resulted in a 3-1 win in Southern Hills Athletic Conference action. “These girls of mine are a different breed,” said West Union head coach Kevin Hunter. “They truly love the sport regardless of the score and regardless of how many show up, they love the game for the challenge and the struggle. They love to engage their opponent and it is amazing to watch these teenagers lose and still be ecstatic about the small things. I have always coached my players to celebrate every victory big or small and focus on the positive.” There were no losses on Monday for the West Union, girls, only one of See NFL Picks / B2 the biggest wins for their program in years. Coach
Hunter had to make some last-minute position changes before the game, but they all worked out for the best, especially his choice to put Elexis Caudill in the goal. Caudill responded with a monster game, making 15 saves and allowing the lady Rockets just a single goal. On offense, the Lady Dragons scored within the game's first three minutes when some good ball movement left the ball on the foot of Caitlyn Cooper and she fired it home for the 1-0 advantage. “The girls spend the next 77 minutes doing what they do best-playing as a team,” said Coach Hunter. After Fayetteville tied the score, the game came down to the final six minutes, where the Lady Dragons took the lead when pressure forced the Fayetteville goalie away from her spot and Heidi Hunter took advantage with the goal that gave West Union the lead for good. Just for good measure with less than five minutes to play, the Lady Dragons' Anna Shupert made a run on goal and chipped the ball into the net over the diving keeper for the final score in a huge 3-1 win.
As the clock ticked down, the young West Union girls sensed what they had accomplished, and when time ran out, began a much-deserved celebration as they rushed the bench area.
After the game, Coach Hunter had high praise for all his players, mentioning the solid work of not only his three goal scorers, but complimenting the efforts of Madison Welch, Raegan Faulkner, Casey
Biggs, Emilee Davis, Shannon Runyan, Macy Mullenix, Mikala Wolke, and Caitlyn Cooper. “This is what it feels like to win when you work for it,” added Coach Hunter.

Dragons take first day lead in SHAC Golf Tourney McCarty's 1-under 34 leads the way BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER Round One of the 2016 Southern Hills Athletic Conference Boys Golf Tournament, played at the Hilltop Golf Course, is in the books and as expected, the early lead belongs to the West Union Dragons, but perhaps not by as much as expected. West Union sits atop the team leader board after nine holes of the 36-hole event, but with just a seven stroke advantage over second place North Adams, Turning in their best team score of the season, the Ripley Blue Jays occupy the third spot. The Dragons were paced by a solid round by defending individual champion Elijah McCarty,who opened the tourney with a 1-under par score of 34, but that didn't totally pull him away from the field. Just two strokes behind at 36 is Manchester's Logan Hayslip, and three back at 37 are McCarty's teammate Craig Horton and North Adams' Bryant Lung. Three players are four off the pace at 39, North Adams' Patrick England and the Ripley duo of Dylan Phillips and Scottie Ott. When the four rounds of the SHAC Tournament are completed next week, the top 15 golfers will be named to the AllConference Team. After Day One, the top 15 also includes Noah Lung from North Adams (40), plus Tyler Fowler and Jacob

Hupp hat trick leads shutout win at Ripley BY MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE'S DEFENDER

North Adams’ junior Lakyn Hupp gets this shot past the Ripley goalie for one of her three scores on the night as the Lady Devils pulled off a 3-0 SHAC win on the road. D'Avignon. “The entire team contributed to this win over a good Ripley team.” The Lady Devils were on the road on Saturday, Sept. 10, traveling to face a talented and unbeaten Southeastern Ross squad. North Adams played it tight, before finally falling to the Lady Panthers 2-1. In a game played in high wind conditions, the home team got on the board first at the 28:37 mark of the first half when All-District senior Kali Minton scored from about 30 yards out on a free kick after a North Adams foul. Minton's high, floating, wind-assisted shot founds its way just under the crossbar to give her team the lead. Lakyn Hupp continued her goal-scoring tear with 15 minutes to go in the first half when she took a pass from Hesler, battled a defender for possession, won the ball, turned and blasted it into the net to tie the game at one, which is how the first half ended. The only goal of the second half came less than three minutes in and again it was Minton doing the damage, dribbling the ball through the North Adams
defense, juking left and right, and finishing with a hard shot from a tight angle that Shipley had no chance. That was all the offense the Lady Panthers needed as they held on from that point for the 2-1 victory. “We played well today even dealing with some injuries,” said Coach D'Avignon. “We out shot them nearly three to one but you don't get any points for shots. Our defense was able to control Minton most of the game, but she is just one of the best players in southern Ohio. Lakyn had another amazing goal and now is on a six-game scoring streak.” On Monday, Sept. 12, the Lady Devils were back at home tangling with Westfall in a non-conference affair, and that contest ended in the dreaded word “tie” at 1-1. The North Adams girls will be back in action on Friday, Sept. 16, going on the road to Fairfield for an SHAC game. On Monday, Sept. 19, they will travel to Peebles to face the Lady Indians for the “Kickin' Cancer” contest.

Lady Devils soccer stands at 4-2-2
After three games in the past week, the North Adams Lady Devils soccer squad now stands at 4-2-2on the year. The Lady Devils picked up a Southern Hills Athletic Conference win at Ripley, lost to an undefeated Southeastern Ross squad, then forged a tie on Monday in another nonconference battle with Westfall. The North Adams girls traveled to Ripley on Sept. 7 and playing under the lights in Blue Jay Stadium, rode the hot hand of junior Lakyn Hupp to a 3-0 shutout win. Hupp scored the hat trick with all three North Adams goals, while keeper Madee Shipley picked up her fourth shutout of the season, recording six saves in the process. Hupp's first goal came at the 18:01 mark of the first half when fullback Laney Hesler got control of a Ripley clear and sent the ball to Allison Harper, who made a long pass towards the left goal post. The Ripley goalie tried to catch the ball but Hupp beat her to it and knocked it home. Twelve minutes later Hupp was on the board again. Midfielder Jessica Woodall took a back pass from left wing Breanna Piatt, who then made a perfect pass through the Ripley defense to Hupp, who then herself split two defenders for an open shot an a 2-0 North Adams lead. Ten minutes into the second half, Hupp got the final goal of the game unassisted on a breakaway after forward Taylor Hesler had moved the ball to midfield through a gap in the Ripley defense. Thant made the final 3-0 in the Lady Devils' fourth win of 2016. “Lakyn had a good night finishing with the help of a lot of teammates,” said North Adams head coach Dave

Pennywitt From page B1 to the grocery, I love coupons and comping, but unfortunately my items aren't always discounted or ever on sale. I don't like shopping or have much time for it with my work schedule so if a place wants my business they need to carry my favorite glutenfree brands. Sometimes we like an item and it gets discontinued. It can be very frustrating.” “It was a hassle and it is still pretty tough,” said Ethan. “You have to read a lot of labels and ingredients and going out to eat is almost impossible.” While most teenagers can drive thru McDonald's and grab a cheeseburger, you won't see Pennywitt doing that. He even has to be careful about which aisles of the grocery he walks through. About a month ago, his sister Sierra was home and baked a cake and just the particles of gluten in the air triggered another bad reaction. Another bad rash covered a majority of his body and another trip to the doctor meant a steroid shot and a supply of steroid packs to try and clear it up. Despite all these obstacles, one thing has never stopped for the Manchester teen, and that is him continuing to run and run, culminating in last weekend's recordperformance. “I've thought about this record since I first

started running and I always saw the old record on the board at the high school,” said Pennywitt. “Before Saturday, my best time (17:24) was just the Tuesday before in an All-Comers meet at Mason County, and I was thinking that Saturday was my day, especially since I have cut off over a minute in my time in the last two weeks. I had about four different coaches telling me my time through the race so I knew I had a shot, even after I got caught in the pack in the first mile and ended up running in the tall grass to avoid the middle. “I felt good but I thought I was running slower than the Tuesday before so I was shocked when I got my first mile item and I had to slow my pace some so as not to burn out. I just kept picking people off and moving up and realized I had a shot at the record. With about 150 meters to go, Lonnie yelled my time of 16:40 at me, so I just took off flat sprinting and I was dead when I crossed the finish line.” Pennywitt finished seventh in the race which featured 164 runners, but on Saturday place took a back seat to a new school record. “They had a clock near the finish line and I saw my time as I crossed and I knew that I had the record. It hasn't really sunk in yet, but it feels good.” Not to be satisfied as a competitor, Pennywitt hopes to continue to shave time off that record mark in his final
two years of high school competition. “My first goal is to get my time down into the 16's and then I want to make it to state. That is my big goal.” Manchester crosscounty coach Vic Bowman has nothing but praise for his junior runner. “Determined, dedicated, and gutsy are just three words that come to mind when I think of Ethan,” said Bowman. “He has always had the record as a goal, along with some others that he is still chasing. He has fought through his medical issues and injuries, but still run at very opportunity despite not being anywhere near his best. He knew exactly what splits he needed on Saturday to get the record and despite not being on the pace with about 800 meters to go, he willed himself to gut out that very last part of the race to grab the record. I am very proud of him, but fully expect him to push the record even lower as this season progresses.” When he is not out running many miles each day, Pennywitt is a 4.0 student and is current enrolled in post-secondary classes at both the high school and Southern State Community College. He also has some big running dreams for his posthigh school days. “I'd like to run at someplace like Oregon or Stanford,” he says. With his track record and determination, don't put it past him.

OAK 37 ATL 34 Indianapolis at Denver – The Colts laid an egg at home now face a potential 0-2 start versus the defending champs.

PRIME TIME PLAYERS San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey rushed for 281 yards in the Aztecsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 45â&#x20AC;&#x201C;40 win over Cal and is now the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leading rusher. Pumphrey, who has 4,651 yards two games into his senior season, moved past former SDSU All-American Marshall Faulk. â&#x20AC;Ś Vanderbilt junior Ralph Webb became the third player in school history with at least 200 yards rushing in a game. Webb ran for
211 yards on 29 carries in the Commodoresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 47â&#x20AC;&#x201C;24 win over Middle Tennessee. â&#x20AC;Ś Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 610 yards of offense (411 passing, 199 rushing) and five TDs in the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 62â&#x20AC;&#x201C;28 win at Syracuse. â&#x20AC;Ś After getting benched in a Week 1 loss to South Alabama, Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald responded with with 178 yards passing and 195 yards rushing to
lead the Bulldogs to a 27â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14 win over South Carolina. â&#x20AC;Ś No Leonard Fournette? No problem for LSU. Derrius Guice filled in for the Heisman Trophy candidate and rushed for 155 yards on 19 carries in the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 34â&#x20AC;&#x201C;13 win over Jacksonville State. â&#x20AC;Ś Oregon dominated Virginia through the air (Dakota Prukop 331 yards passing, three TDs) and on the ground (Royce Freeman 207 yards rushing, two TDs) in a 44â&#x20AC;&#x201C;26
win over the Cavs in Eugene. â&#x20AC;Ś Luke Del Rio continues to impress in his first season as the Florida quarterback. The transfer from Oregon State (who began his career at Alabama) threw for 320 yards and four touchdowns as the Gators beat Kentucky for the 30th straight season. â&#x20AC;Ś Miami running back Mark Walton ran for 155 yards and four TDs on 17 carries in the Canesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 38â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 win over FAU.
3. Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon Freeman flew under the national radar last year despite rushing for 1,836 yards on a 6.5-yard average. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off to a hot start in 2016, with 294 yards and four touchdowns in two games. 4. Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia Chubb was held in check by a surprisingly stout Nicholls defense, running for 80 yards and one touchdown on 20 carries. That followed a 222-yard, two-TD performance in Week 1 against North Carolina. 5. J.T. Barrett, QB, Ohio State Barrett has been outstanding in the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wins over Bowling Green and Tulsa. He has completed 66.0 percent of his passes for 498 yards and six TDs and has added 85 yards and three scores on the ground.
NUMBERS TO KNOW Arizona State running back Kalen tied an NCAA record with 8 Ballage eight TDs in the Sun Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 68â&#x20AC;&#x201C;55 win over Texas Tech. Ballageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight TDs (seven rushing, one receiving) came on only 15 touches from scrimmage.

STOCK REPORT Army followed its impressive Week 1 win at Temple by beating Rice 31â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14 at Michie Stadium in West Point. The Black Knights, who went a combined 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;18 in Jeff Monkenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two seasons, are 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0 for the first time since 1996. Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s triple-option attack is averaging 338.5 yards rushing in two games and has yet to commit a turnover.
Northwestern is 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 after dropping consecutive home games to Western Michigan and Illinois State. The Wildcats managed only 277 total yards and scored one touchdown in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 loss to Illinois State. Justin Jackson, one of the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most productive running backs, was held to 39 yards rushing.
Utah held on for a thrilling 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;19 over rival BYU in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy Warâ&#x20AC;? when the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two-point conversion with 18 seconds remaining failed. Utah has won six straight in the series for the first time 1964. The Utes, 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0, won despite committing six turnovers (three INTs from QB Troy Williams and three lost fumbles).

Manchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McKinlee Grooms makes a return in the Lady Houndsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sept. 7 win over the Ripley Lady Jays. It was the second victory of the 2016 season for Coach Kaci Compton and her squad and they were back in action earlier this week with matches versus Lynchburg and Fairfield.
Matt Campbell is off to an 0â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 start at Iowa State after a pair of losses to instate rivals Northern Iowa and Iowa. On Saturday, the Cyclones were outgained 435-to-291 en route to a 42â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 defeat in Iowa City. Mike Warren, an All-Big 12 running back last season, had only 28 yards rushing on seven carries.

Devils rolling. Leading later 17-3, North Adams continued to dominate from the service line as junior Sydney Kendall rattled off five straight to put her team on the verge of taking the first set, which they did on a kill by Abby Campton, taking set one emphatically 25-5. The second set started out close, but that only stayed that way until Kendall got to the service line again and ran off nine straight to give her side a 13-2 lead. Three more service points from Campton made it 18-4, but the Lady Dragons showed some signs of life, getting two service points from Alex Clark, one of them an ace. Trailing later 197, West Union rallied with

Louisville is outgaining its opponents by an average of 6.0 yards per play. The Cardinals are averaging 10.0 yards per play on offense and giving up only 4.0 on defense. Cal quarterback Davis Webb has already attempted 126 passes in two games. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than both Army and Navy attempted all last season. East Carolina edged NC State 33â&#x20AC;&#x201C;30, giving the Pirates their sixth straight win over an ACC opponent dating back to the 2013 season. Nick Chubbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgically repaired left knee appears to be fine. Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior running back is tied for the national lead with 52 rushing attempts through the first two games.
six of the set's next seven points, getting a pair of aces from Kiersten Rowe, to cut the deficit to 19-11, but that was I for the home team as North Adams finished off the set and a 25-11 win with five service points from Stout, plus kills from Campton and Charlee Louden. The third set began as a mirror image of the first with Toole at the service line and the result a 14-0 lead for the Lady Devils. With the set well in control, a trio of Louden kills and a series of serves by Kendall wrapped things up as North Adams cruised 27-7 in the final set and took the match in three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;North Adams is just the best team in the SHAC again this year,â&#x20AC;? said West Union head coach Debbie McClanahan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They show you what a dedicated bunch of girls can do. We have nine girls this year
with very little varsity experience and when you don't have enough to simulate game situations in practice, the kids can't really understand the pace or intensity involved. You can teach fundamentals and strategic moves all you want, but there is nothing like game experience. Give our girls another year to grow and they will be right in there.â&#x20AC;? All has not been doom and gloom for the Lady Dragons as they had picked up their first win of the 2016 season on Sept. 8 when they downed Ripley in five exciting sets, 2521, 18-25, 25-14, 22-25, 16-14. That win was a big game for senior Kendall Gallowitz,who led the team with 18 kills, with Rowe and McKenzie Bickett each contributing 15 assists.
