Townships join OhioCheckbook.com By Patricia Beech pbeech@peoplesdefender.com
Patricia Beech | People’s Defender
A press conference was held to announce the addition of local townships to OhioCheckbook. com. Officials present were Eric Ochmanek, Deputy Chief of Staff, Diane Ward, Franklin Twp. Fiscal Officer, Scott Twp., Trustees Homer Holsted and Marty Sonner Scott, Charles Newman, Scott Twp. Fiscal Officer, Sam Bolender-President of Scott Twp. Trustees, and Lauren Bowen-Public Affair Liaison for the State Treasurer’s Office.
Residents in five Adams County townships can now see first-hand how their local governments are spending their taxpayer dollars. Scott, Franklin, Meigs, Winchester, and Bratton Townships have joined OhioCheckbook.com, a voluntary website which promotes government transparency by posting government spending online. The townships are the first in the county to post their spending on the site. Scott Township Fiscal Officer Charles Newman; Scott Township Trustees - Samuel Bolender, Homer Holsted and Marty Sonner; and Franklin Township Fiscal Officer Diane Ward joined representatives from the state Treasurer’s Office Tuesday for the announcement.
“The elected officials in Scott Township are proud to partner with the Treasurer’s Office and participate in the OhioCheckbook.com transparency website,” said Scott Township Fiscal Officer Charles Newman. “We are always happy to share public financial information with the tax paying citizens of Adams County. This program will allow easier access to financial records for anyone who desires to see how their tax dollars are being received and how they are spent.” The OhioCheckbook website was launched in Dec. 2014 by State Treasurer Josh Mandel. The voluntary site lists all state and local spending information on the internet. Over 600 local government and school districts are now partnering with

Wenstrup wins primary election By Patricia Beech pbeech@peoplesdefender.com
Congressman Brad Wenstrup has handily won the nomination to vie to keep his seat in the November general election. Wenstrup won the Republican nomination for the 2nd Congressional District on March 15 fending off challenger Jim Lewis. With only 21% of precincts reporting, the Congressman was leading Lewis with 85% of the votes. However, a fatal crash on I-275 delayed traffic so severely that a federal judge ordered the polls in Clemont, Hamilton, Butler and Warren County to remain open an extra hour. The polls closed at 8:30 p.m. giving Wenstrup a margin of victory eclipsing 80 percent. “I’m pleased with our win,” Wenstrup said. “We will continue our momentum into the fall where we will fight for conservative victories across the ticket. We owe it to the American people to continue presenting a positive vision of our ideas that promote growth, opportunity, and limited government. With that vision we can and will be successful.” In the fall Wenstrup will go up against the winner of the Democratic Primary, William R. Smith. A 61-year-old long-distance truck driver from Pike County, Smith won the 2012 Democratic nomination for the 2nd District beating out David Krikorian by a margin of 59 votes. He famously spent no money, did no campaigning, and never con-
Congressman Brad Wenstrup ferred with local Democrats during that primary season. He was defeated by Wenstrup in the general election. Seven years ago, Wenstrup, a doctor who had never held political office, ousted seven-year incumbent Rep. Jean Schmidt in a major upset. Two years later he successfully ran for re-election to the U.S. House garnering 66 % of the votes. Ohio’s 2nd is a heavily Republican-leaning district, and the 2016 election followed that trend with voters sending a message that Congressman Wenstrup remains the right choice for them in Washington. During his time in office, Wenstrup has become one of the most reliable Republican votes supporting his party’s interests in Congress. He has missed only 16
of 1,752 roll call votes from January 2013 to September 2015. This amounts to 0.9 percent, which is better than the median of 2.2 percent among current representatives as of September 2015. Wenstrup’s commitment to active participation in Congress is evidenced by a recent bill he brought to the Congressional floor called the “Do Your Job Act” which, if passed, would deny pay to the members of both houses if they fail to do the work they were elected to do. “If the House members don’t do their job, they shouldn’t be paid, and if the Senate doesn’t do their job, they shouldn’t be paid,” Wenstrup told the Defender. “Basically, the bill states that if Congress doesn’t move forward, create a budget, and do the necessary work on appropriations bills, and bring them to the floor, we don’t get paid. It’s an important part of what we do, and I think the American people are being cheated if we don’t go through the process.” Wenstrup currently serves on the Subcommittee on Readiness in the Armed Services Committee; he serves on the Veteran’s Affairs Committee as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, and also on the Subcommittee on Health; and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Subcommittee on Department of Defense Intelligence and Overhead Architecture, and the Subcommittee on Emerging Threats.

The Ohio Veterans Home in Georgetown is under new leadership as Linda Slone has taken the role as administrator previously held by Rocco Parro. Parro left Georgetown to return north to Sandusky to take the a similar position at the Veteran's Home there. Slone, who has worked in both the private and non-profit sectors of nursing care took over as administrator in February. Slone said she is more than pleased to be selected for the position. She has worked as nurse in some capacity since 1972. She is a graduate of the then Ohio University – Portsmouth campus and earned a degree in long term care from Shawnee State University in 1999. She started working in for the Veteran's Administration in the 1970's before moving into private hospitals. She worked at Chillicothe Medical Center and
from there moved into home care. “That kind of got me used to working with the elderly,” Slone said. “I decided if I was going to be serious about helping the aging population, I felt we needed better care for our aging population. That is when I returned to school and focused on the elderly population.” Slone said she has worked in several nursing homes from small 25 bed facilities to larger 200 plus bed facilities. She had experience in all aspects of nursing home care prior to working for Ohio. “This is a calling,” Slone said. “I have always considered myself a servant. That is what an administrator does. You serve and support your staff. You want to have excellent care and I've tried to do that at any place I have been. This is a home with all veterans and to me that ups the game.

Each spring the landscape around our cabin by the creek explodes with waves of yellow. I have planted daffodils in past years, and always regret not planting more each spring. But what are the other huge masses of yellow blooms? Lesser Celandine/Fig Buttercup (Ficaria verna), a beautiful, invasive bully that was introduced into the United States as an ornamental plant. This low-growing herbaceous perennial belongs to the buttercup family and is sometimes called “fig buttercup”. The 1” diameter glossy butter-yellow flowers are borne singly on stalks and have eight petals. The succulent, shiny dark green kidney or heart-shaped leaves are tightly clustered at the base of the plant. It prefers moist, forested floodplains, however, in recent years lesser celandine has escaped cultivation and is becoming widespread in parks, yards, and forests growing under a range of environmental conditions including drier upland areas. This spring ephemeral perennial plant spends much of the year (summer through early winter) underground as thickened, fingerlike
tubers or underground stems. During winter, leaves begin to emerge and photosynthesize in preparation for flowering. Blooms appear in late-March and early April. By May, the above-ground portion of the plant begins to fade. Control of lesser celandine is challenged both by the plants unusual life-cycle and its prolific reproductive potential.

THEIR VIEW
Loretta Lynch and the government war on free speech During her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee eaelier this month, Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted that she asked the FBI to examine whether the federal government should take legal action against so-called climate change deniers. Attorney General Lynch is not responding to any criminal acts committed by climate change skeptics. Instead, she is responding to requests from those frustrated that dissenters from the alleged climate change consensuses have successfully blocked attempts to create new government programs to fight climate change. These climate change censors claim that the argument over climate change is settled and the deniers’ success in blocking conRon Paul gressional action is harming the Contributing public. Therefore, the government Columnist must disregard the First Amendment and silence anyone who dares question the reigning climate change dogma. This argument ignores the many reputable scientists who have questioned the magnitude, effects, and role of human action in causing climate change. If successful, the climate change censors could set a precedent that could silence numerous other views. For example, many people believe the argument over whether we should audit, and then end, the Federal Reserve is settled. Therefore, the deniers of Austrian economics are harming the public by making it more difficult for Congress to restore a free-market monetary policy. So why shouldn’t the government silence Paul Krugman? The climate change censorship movement is part of a larger effort to silence political speech. Other recent examples include the IRS’s harassment of tea party groups as well as that agency’s (fortunately thwarted) attempt to impose new rules on advocacy organizations that would have limited their ability to criticize a politician’s record in the months before an election. The IRS and many state legislators and officials are also trying to force public policy groups to hand over the names of their donors. This type of disclosure can make individuals fearful that, if they support a pro-liberty group, they will face retaliation from the government. Efforts to silence government critics may have increased in recent years; however, the sad fact is the US Government has a long and shameful history of censoring speech. It is not surprising that war and national security have served as convenient excuses to limit political speech. So-called liberal presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt both supported wartime crackdowns on free speech. Today, many neoconservatives are using the war on terror to justify crackdowns on free speech, increased surveillance of unpopular religious groups like Muslims, and increased government control of social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Some critics of US foreign policy have even been forbidden to enter the country. Many opponents of government restrictions on the First Amendment and other rights of Muslims support government actions targeting so-called “right-wing extremists.” These fair-weather civil liberties defenders are the mirror image of conservatives who support restricting the free speech rights of Muslims in the name of national security, yet clam to oppose authoritarian government. Defending speech we do not agree with is necessary to effectively protect the speech we support. A government that believes it can run our lives, run the economy, and run the world will inevitably come to believe it can, and should, have the power to silence its critics. Eliminating the welfare-warfare state is the key to protecting our free speech, and other liberties, from an authoritarian government.
YOUR VIEW To The Editor, I thank God for the only true English language Bible, the King James Version. I have also told many times how to be saved. But I must say even all of that, repent and being baptized, it still takes the “blood” of Jesus Christ and a complete change in your heart, mind and ways. Also, you must live by his word. You could pray six
words also.” Another tells how bad the NIV is. The prisoners always as for KJV. Thank God a certain Christian place sends the KJV to them free. Romans 5:9: Justified by His blood. (Blood of Jesus Christ) Romans 6:11- Alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ruth McCann Peebles, OH

Attorney General Mike DeWine announced today that his office is now accepting from law enforcement agencies within Ohio new Drug Use Prevention grant applications for 2016-2017. The funds will aid efforts beginning on or after Sept. 1, 2016, and ending Aug. 31, 2017. “It’s important that we deliver ongoing drug prevention information to students that is appropriate for their age and grade level, so they can make smart decisions,” said Attorney General DeWine. “I hope law enforcement agencies across Ohio will take advantage of these resources in their continuing efforts to protect young people.” Several kinds of programs are eligible for funding, including D.A.R.E. Keepin’ it REAL, Prevention through Alternative Learning Styles, Too Good for Drugs, Botvin Life Skills, Reach Out Now, and Stay on Track. Programs not on the approved list may be considered if additional information demonstrating their effectiveness is submitted. The programs must be presented by a D.A.R.E. officer or school resource officer for public school students. Summer programs off school grounds but in conjunction with a public school may be considered. Grants cover up to 50 percent of an officer’s salary conducting drug use prevention in public schools, in addition to some other expenses. Complete guidelines and the application process can be accessed on the Ohio Attorney General’s website at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/DrugUsePrevention. The application deadline is April 15, 2016.

At a recent town hall in Darke County, I asked those in attendance how many of them had family members or friends who had been impacted by addiction. More than half the hands went up. Sadly, I wasn’t surprised. It was just the latest example of how the abuse of heroin and prescription drugs is impacting our communities. More than 2,000 Ohioans now die every year because of drug overdoses from opioids, heroin or prescription drugs. More than 120 Americans die every day. It’s become an epidemic, and it seems to be growing worse, not better. Three years ago, I set out to do something about opioids at the federal level.

I traveled throughout Ohio listening to those in the trenches who work in prevention or treat addicts in recovery. I heard from law enforcement, health care professionals, families who had lost loved ones to this disease, and recovering addicts themselves. We then convened five conferences in Washington, DC , bringing in experts from Ohio and around the country to discuss topics ranging from the need for better education and prevention, to the best practices on treatment, to dealing with the specific challenges of our veterans, and to helping the increasing number of

Contributing Columnist babies who are tragically born with addiction. Informed and inspired by those discussions, I coauthored the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, also known as CARA, with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. Our goal with this legislation is to begin to help turn the tide of addiction and save lives. I’m proud to report that the United States Senate recently passed CARA on
a rare, bipartisan vote of 94-1. The measure takes a number of critical steps toward combating this epidemic including, first and foremost, by ensuring that resources are devoted to evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery programs that work. Here is some of what the bill does: CARA expands prevention and educational efforts – particularly those aimed at teens, parents and other caretakers – to prevent prescription opioid abuse and the use of heroin in the first place. CARA increases the number of disposal sites for unwanted prescription medications to keep them o ut of the hands of our children and adolescents. CARA expands the availability of the overdose reversal drug naloxone to law enforcement agencies and first responders to save more lives.
Financially speaking April showers may bring May flowers, but March is National Umbrella Month. While ranking high on the list of truly obscure celebrations, this “Month” can still teach us a few things – especially if we think about “umbrellas” that can help us protect our financial goals. Consider these key areas: Your vulnerability to emergencies – It’s a good idea to maintain an emergency fund containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses. Without such a fund, you may need to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected, and unexpectedly large, expenses such as a new furnace or a big bill from the doctor. You’ll want to keep your emergency fund in a liquid, low-risk account. Your family’s financial situation – If something happened to you, how would your loved ones be affected? Would your family be able to stay in your house? Could your children eventually go to col-
lege? Would your surviving spouse have enough retirement income to maintain the lifestyle he or she has envisioned? Having adequate life insurance in place can help ensure that all your hopes and plans don’t fall apart upon your passing. Different types of life insurance offer different features. For example, “term” insurance, as its name suggests, is designed to provide a death benefit for a certain number of years. On the other hand, “permanent” insurance, such as whole life or universal life, can be kept in force indefinitely. This type of coverage may also offer a cash value component. Your current income — If an illness or injury keeps you out of work, even for a little while, the loss of income could disrupt your family’s ability to pay its bills, leading to potentially big problems down the road. Your employer may offer some type of disability insurance as an employee benefit, but the coverage may be insufficient. So you
Jim Holden Financially Speaking
may want to consider purchasing an individual disability policy. Your ability to live independently – If you’re fortunate, you may never need to spend time in a nursing home or require any other type of long-term care. But no one can predict the future – and it pays to be prepared, because long-term care costs can be catastrophic. In fact, the annual average cost for a private room in a nursing home is more than $90,000, according to the 2015 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company. A financial professional
can help you find an appropriate way of paying for these types of costs. Your capacity to protect your biggest assets – Your home is probably going to be the biggest asset you ever own – so you need to protect it properly, with adequate homeowners insurance. It’s also important to have sufficient insurance for your other major assets, such as your car, boat and so on. Your exposure to property loss or liability – You may someday face costs associated with repairing or replacing your home, auto or boat, or even liability-related expenses. Additional liability insurance – known as an “umbrella” policy –is designed to kick in when your standard coverage on other policies, such as home or auto, has been exhausted. The sun may be shining in your life today, but it’s always wise to be prepared for the proverbial “rainy day.” So have your umbrellas ready.

Checkbook From page 1 OhioCheckbook.com “I believe the people of Adams County have a right to know how their tax money is being spent,” said Mandel. “I applaud local leaders here for partnering with my office to post the finances on OhioCheckbook.com”. “By posting local government spending online we are empowering taxpayers across Ohio to hold public officials accountable.” The website has set a new national standard for government accountability and earned Ohio the number one ranking in the country for transparency. “Adopting OhioCheckbook.com in Meigs Township simplifies the measures we should be taking as government officials to be transparent,” said Fiscal Officer Carla Wesley. “To me, this is an important voluntary step in honoring the current mandates that hold government accountable.” Among other information, the website lists the number and cost of individual transactions for each township. “This is public information and we wanted people to be able to easily access it,” said Winchester Township Fiscal Officer Rae Jean Maddox. According to the website Scott Township has posted 2,400 individual transactions amounting to $800,000 over the past three years; Franklin Township has listed 1,500 individual transactions representing more than $40,000 of total spending over the past three years; Meigs Township’s online checkbook includes over 1,900 individual transactions amounting to more than $1,000,000 over the past three years; Winchester Township’s site includes over 2,300 individual transactions amounting to more than $700,000 over the past three years; and Bratton Township’s online checkbook has over 1,200 individual transactions at a cost of more than $500,000 of total spending over the past three years. “I really believe this information belongs to the people,” said Franklin Township Fiscal Officer Diane Ward. “I say let the sun shine in by opening the books and putting the information online. I really do want to be open and up front with the taxpayers who trust us to spend their money wisely.” In a March 2015 report, “Following the Money 2015,” Treasurer Mandel earned Ohio the number one transparency ranking in the country. Ohio was prominently featured in the report after climbing from 46th to 1st place. This year Ohio received a perfect score of 100 points – the highest score in the history of the U.S.PIRG transparency rankings. “OhioCheckbook.com provides ease of information to the public,” said Bratton Township Fiscal Officer Angela McCoy. “I already

Why not in turn make it available to the people I am dedicated to serve as an official of the township?” On April 7, 2015 Treasurer Mandel sent a letter to 18,062 local government and school officials in 3,962 local governments across the state urging them to us the website, and extended an invitation to partner with his office at no cost to local governments. These local governments include cities, counties, townships, schools, library districts and other special districts. The watchdog web site has won wide approval and support among state and local government organizations. The Ohio Municipal League, the Ohio Township Association, the Ohio Association of School Business Officials, the Buckeye Association of School Administrators, the County Commissioner Association of Ohio, Ohio Newspaper Association, Ohio Society of CPAs, Buckeye Institute, and Common Cause Ohio have all expressed support for the site. According to the Treasurer’s Office, OhioCheckbook.com marks the first time in Ohio history when citizens could actually see all state expenditures. As of March 21, 2016 there have been more than 486,000 total searches on the site. OhioCheckbook.com displays more than $512 billion in spending over the past eight years, including more than 139 million transactions. The website includes cutting-edge features such as Google-style text search allowing users to sort by keyword, department, category, or vendor; fully dynamic interactive charts to drill down on state spending; functionality to compare yearto-year spending among agencies; capability to share charts or checks with social media networks; and direct contact for fiscal offices. The Treasurer’s office is also partnering with OpenGov, a Silicon Valley government technology company, to provide Ohio residents the ability to view and search local government expenditures in a userfriendly format. “Ohio is setting the standard for financial transparency on an unprecedented scale. We are excited to partner with the Treasurer’s office to bring worldclass technology to communities large and small across the state,” said Zachary Bookman, CEO of OpenGov.

The grass has really greened up quickly over the past couple of weeks of warm temperatures and sunshine. There has been noticeable growth as I have seen some lawnmowers going, not livestock, but real mowers with a gasoline engine and blades. The other kinds of “lawnmowers”, namely cattle, have been on the go, too. I have seen cattle leave the round bale feeders full of hay and grazing on the short grass whenever they can. With spring growth there comes some risk of grass tetany. Grass tetany is treatable, but in most cases the detection of the onset of this magnesium deficiency is too late. Most often the first indication is a dead cow or two. The group that is at the greatest risk is the mature cow with a nursing calf. The risk may increase with cool temperatures, but that is not the only thing that can increase the risk. A recent application of potash fertilizer may also increase the risk as the amount of potassium can be a factor with the magnesium. I have read that potassium basically blocks the absorption of magnesium. On the other hand sodium may help increase the cow’s ability of absorption of magnesium which is basically done through the rumen. Part of the problem with older cattle being at risk is the fact they cannot store magnesium so it is available to them. They need a regular daily intake, so it is important to keep it available at all times. This is especially important for lactating cows, as milk can drain some of the reserves in the cow. As with most problems the best management practice is prevention. Keeping the cattle in good health often can be associated with good nutrition. Providing quality feed during the winter with good quality hay and/or a supplement as you lead toward spring and possibly your calving season. A good mineral program is also important
as a prevention to grass tetany or other issues. Most, if not all, feed suppliers have mineral available with a higher percentage of magnesium available for this time of the

Dryden’s Den: AP names All-Southeast District Teams Rating the crop of running backs The running back position has made a bit of a comeback but is still nowhere near what it once was in terms of value. I’m still of the belief that drafting a back in the early rounds is wasting picks. This year there are two exceptions in Elliott and Henry. From there, little separation so no point to really draft a back until the fourth round or later. Some backs will get higher grades but players at other positions will prove more valuable. Each and every season late round or even undrafted backs produce. Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State: First Round Grade – Historically productive back with excellent power
Scott Dryden Contributing Columnist and very quick feet. Rare combination of power, quickness and straight line speed. Tremendous blocker and a good pass catcher. Rarely is a back worth a first round pick in Goodell’s NFL, but Elliott certainly is. He will be a factor back right out of the gate. Derrick Henry, Alabama: Second Round Grade – Incredible size for a back plus has straight away speed. Unlike past Bama backs, can cut away from the play design and make something happen on his own. Extremely powerful – great athlete, like Elliott could be a first round pick and worth it. Kenneth Dixon, Louisiana Tech: Third Round Grade - Good tough runner, was a bell cow at Louisiana Tech. Very good instincts, hardnosed runner. Has a gate similar to Curtis Martin – shifty runner. Will be a very good pro back – will make an impact out of the gate. CJ Prosise, Notre Dame: Third Round Grade – Great size, good body lean, good hands out of the back field. Downhill runner with quick feet. Some durability concerns but played well in big games. Reminds me of Arizona’s David Johnson. Hard to pass on Prosise if he falls to the fourth round. Jonathan Williams, Arkansas: Third Round Grade - Shifty running back, quick feet, gets yards in tight spaces. Williams missed the 2015 season with a foot injury. Very productive sophomore and junior seasons. Better runner than teammate Alex Collins, risky due to injury but if medically cleared, could be a good one. Paul Perkins, UCLA: Third Round Grade – Nifty and elusive with “wow” type runs. Not overly fast and lacks size for an every down back, but tremendous in space. A great feel for the game. Will be a playmaker in the right system. Alex Collins, Arkansas: Third Round Grade – Excelled in Arkansas’ power based system. Very physical and tough runner. Not a special athlete but
can create problems in the secondary. Dependable back, should be a solid starter. Devontae Booker, Utah: Third Round Grade – Focal point of Utes offense yet excelled, tremendous production. Very quick feet and excellent vision. Not a superior athlete but outstanding agile ball carrier. Not sure he is a 20+ carries back in the NFL but should be a productive starter and receiver out of the backfield. DeAndre Washington, Texas Tech: Fourth Round Grade – Very quick, surprisingly strong for his size. Tremendous production for the high octane Red Raider offense. Very good catching the ball out of the backfield. Could be a very nice steal in the later rounds, uber talented back. Dan Lasco, California: Fourth Round Grade – Good shifty runner who gets small in the hole and has good vision. Struggled through the 2015 season with numerous injuries. A concern, but will likely result in being available at or near the fourth round. If he can stay healthy, could be a good pro running back. Jordan Howard, Indiana: Fourth Round Grade – UAB refugee had a monster year at IU. Thick powerful lower body. He scoots instead of a big gate which allows him to change directions quickly. Upright style a concern but delivers the pop as well. At 230 lbs, could be a bell cow in a power back system. Josh Ferguson, Illinois: Fourth Round Grade - On a better team, Ferguson would have put up some big time numbers. Not an every down back in the pros, but can catch the ball and is super quick in space. I like this kid a lot. Keith Marshall, Georgia: Fifth Round Grade – No doubt he is giving scouts and GM’s fits. Looks the part in all aspects, big back with tremendous speed (4.31 40 yard dash at the combine). Didn’t get much playing time at Georgia due to injuries. At least third round talent but injuries will force him to drop. Potential high reward pick in the fifth round. Tyler Ervin, San Jose State: Fifth Round Grade – Diminutive, slight back with blazing speed. At 5’10”, has very long legs with beautiful stride. When Ervin breaks into the secondary, look out. He will make a roster and have a lot of tasks in the NFL. Kenyan Drake, Alabama: Fifth Round Grade – played in the large shadow of Heisman winner Derrick Henry but when healthy was productive. Good size-speed ratio. The kind of player that could be a nice pick in the fifth round. Wendell Smallwood, West Virginia: Fifth Round Grade - Smallish but very quick. Very productive in West Virginia’s spread offense. Good change of pace back, will never be able to handle extensive workload but should be effective in a dual back offense (which most are in today’s NFL). Devon Johnson, Marshall: Fifth Round Grade – Will likely go undrafted – get this kid in the sixth round. Also had an injury marred season Continued on 7

Deep pitching staff will key Devils’ success Meade returns as NAHS coach MARK CARPENTER PEOPLE’S DEFENDER A new face but a familiar face will be back in the dugout when the 2016 version of the North Adams Green Devils baseball squad takes the field for their season opener. After a one-year hiatus, Rob Meade returns as head coach and takes over a talented squad that is looking to repeat a 2015 sectional championship and continue even further. Meade, who takes over for Coach Jeff Fryman, knows that he has a group who can do good things. "We have a great deal of talent and experience returning," says Meade of his team that will field eight seniors. "We have depth at the pitching position and hopefully that pays dividends going through the season." That pitching staff at North Adams will be the
key to success and a deep staff is necessary in this part of Ohio when weather tends to wash out early games in the schedule and leave teams with a back load of games at the end of the season that force you to tax your pitching to the maximum. "Without question, pitching will be a strength for our team provided we play healthy," said Coach Meade. "Mikey Sheeley, Trey Meade, Austin Copas, and Austin Parks will anchor us but we hope to also get some quality innings from Cole Roades and Seth Daulton as well." "There are a couple of sophomores who could also see some time on the mound." The Devils may need each and every one of those arms as they have ambitiously put together a full 27-game schedule for the 2016 campaign. he North Adams pitching staff goes into the season

Devils Continued from 6 freshman with lots of potential," said Coach Meade. "He has worked hard to develop his skills and is one of the top catchers in the conference. As a coach, it is a great feeling going into games knowing that he is back there to lead the team and call the game. Kenny has worked with our pitching staff for many years and has a great knowledge of them and works well with them to get through tough situations. I have a great deal of trust in Kenny and look for him to have a great season." Besides the strong group of hurlers, the Devils hope to be a force on offense with a lineup that looks to be solid all the way through. "I really believe we can be solid all the way through the lineup," adds Coach Meade. "I haven't completely settled in on a lead-off hitter but we have a couple of options. For us to be as successful as we can be, run-scoring opportunities have to be there for the middle of our lineup. Austin Copas and Mikey Sheeley will likely fill our 2 and 3 spots. Austin is returning for his senior season after being named All-District as a junior and we look for him to have a great year." "Mikey has always been one of the better hitters in the league and was having a solid junior season before it was cut short by injury." The middle of the lineup will be filled by the "big three" of Cole Meade, Kenny Branch, and Trey Meade. "Throughout the spring, I

Austin Copas have been pleased with their approaches at the plate," adds the North Adams head coach. "All three of them have grasped the concept of situational hitting and know the importance of getting quality at-bats." The rest of the lineup will normally be filled out in some order by Roades, Parks, Daulton, and Ben Figgins. "All of these guys have decent speed and can provide run-scoring opportunities for the top of our lineup," says Coach Meade. "It's important for them to get on base for us so we can take advantage of that speed." Meade is also counting on sophomore Bryant Lung to play a number of roles for the team this season, as a utility kind of player that will be in a number of positions. "Bryant has a definite passion for the game and a bright future," says the head coach. The Green Devils also Kelvin Taylor, Florida: Sixth Round Grade – Son of the great Fred Taylor. Schooled well with great genes. Not a good YPC at Florida but their passing game was beyond anemic. Good solid back who should make a roster. Aaron Green, TCU: Sixth Round Grade – Quick shifty back. Good change of pace third down back. Can make
have the luxury of having enough young players in their program to allow them to field a JV team, coached by Rob Davis. "The JV program has been a vital part of our success we are having on the field," said Meade. "This year will be crucial as well, since we have such a senior-loaded varsity team. JV games give our underclassmen pitchers the opportunity to pitch in game situations. We will have some guys play at both levels in order to get innings and at-bats. It's important for these guys to play and build confidence in order to be able to help at the varsity level in the future." As far as the Southern Hills Athletic conference is concerned, the Devils are in the small school division which sets up two crucial battles with defending champion Fayetteville, April 8 at home and April 28 on the road. "I think the conference is very competitive and balanced," said Meade. "Each team has returning players that will contribute at high levels. There are also some very talented underclassmen in the conference that will play significant roles."
