By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com ENGLEWOOD — More than 35,000 pounds of unwanted computers, TVs, printers, and other electrical devices were turned in Saturday at an Electronics Recycling Day event held in the parking lot of the Englewood Government Center. A total of 325 vehicles from area communities came to drop off unwanted electronic items. Participating communities included Brookville, Clayton, Englewood, and Union. Clayton council members Tim Gorman, Greg Merkle and Bob Peters, along with volunteers from Goodwill Easter Seals of the Miami Valley, helped unload cars and trucks and placed the unwanted items in a semitrailer, which was completely filled to capacity by the end of the five hour event. According to Clayton Code Enforcement Officer Sherri Turner, who coordinated the event along with help from Englewood Assistant to the City Manager Teri Davis, the trailer was completely filled by the end of the event which was held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Davis made the flyers to promote the event along with portable signs and communicated with the cities of Brookville and Union to help Turner coordinate the event among the jurisdictions. During the event Englewood City Manager Eric Smith stopped by to see how things were going and to thank volunteers for their efforts.

It helps bring the communities together for a good purpose. These types of events benefit the entire county by
keeping electronics out of landfills. Councilmen Tim Gorman, Bob Peters and Greg Merkle always help out at these events and typically Mayor Joyce Deitering.” Clayton holds several similar events to help residents dispose of unwanted items during the year. An average of about eight events are typical-
Sight impaired can sign up to receive free RRS radio to listen in By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer DAYTON — The Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley organization held its second annual gathering for the Radio Reading Service at the Vandalia Art Van Atta Park on Sunday, Sept. 22. The event serves as a gathering of those who read for the service and listeners who are recipients of
the service. The Radio Reading Service, which was started approximately 25 years ago, broadcasts readings of major, regional and local newspapers as well as magazines and books for visually impaired or physical/developmental handicapped persons who are unable to read printed material. RRS broadcasts out of the GESMV office 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Live broadcasts take place from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. on weekends. Recorded material is used for the remainder of the day. “I think for the listeners, it is an opportunity to put a face to or shake the hand of the person who is reading to them each and every week,” said RRS Program Manager Angie

Hoschouer. “They know the reader’s personality through their voice. As for the readers, I think that they like the opportunity to meet the listeners to know that they are truly making a difference and that someone is out there listening to them. When volunteers are reading, they are in a studio reading into a microphone. After meeting the listener at the picnic, they have the image in their head of the person who is listening and they can see them as if they are reading to them directly. It is always a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to see the fruits of their labor and that includes sharing a meal with a listener at a community picnic.” One of those listeners is Wanda Lorton, who has been listening to the RRS almost everyday for seven years. Lorton has been able to identify each of her readers by their voice. “I think it’s very helpful (for) people to keep up with things,” said Lorton. “Because that was my favorite part of the day was reading the paper. I would get up, get the paper, fix my breakfast, sit down and read the paper. And that’s how I found out I couldn’t see, I got up in the morning, got the paper, opened it up and I couldn’t read.” Readers will read the news and sports sections of large newspapers including USA Today and Wall Street Journal along with the hard news, sports, opinion, editorial, life, entertainment and obituaries in the Dayton Daily News and Springfield News Sun. With local papers such as the
Vandalia Drummer News, Englewood Independent and the Huber Heights Courier, readers will read headline news, sports and community and current events. “We read the entire paper and we break it down into those sections so that everybody can get the full daily newspaper,” Hoschouer said. Those wishing to listen to the service on a free radio must call the GESMV office at 937-528-6525 and complete a free application over the phone or have someone assist them with the completion of an application at www.gesmv.org. Once the application has been received, a RRS radio with a subcarrier frequency module will be delivered at no cost. A family member or friend can also pickup the radio at the GESMV studio in Dayton. Along with the radio, listeners will get a full schedule of programs that will be broadcasted over the next several months. If listeners wish to have a program schedule spoken to them, they can have a CD with the full program lineup sent to them. GESMV covers the cost of all radios and listeners are permitted to keep the radios for as long as they want. Approximately 100 volunteer readers read the papers, magazines and novels throughout the week. GESMV recruits volunteers and has their volunteers recruit others using word of mouth, volunteer fairs and ads in newspapers. Volunteer manager Marty O’ Dell also assists See Radio on Page 5

From the archives of the Randolph Township Historical Society Grange Building. This photo, taken in 2001, shows the concrete block building erected in 1946 by Clayton’s “Just-AMere” Grange. It is the first building east of the Janice Ward Center, which is at 235 E. Salem Street. The Grange building now is owned by a church group. The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry is a fraternal organization founded in 1867 to assist farmers whose livelihoods were devastated after the Civil War. It is organized into local, county, state, and national divisions. Today’s Grange still works toward the betterment of rural communities through educational and legislative programs. The Clayton Grange was chartered in the late 1930s or early 1940s. At first, members met in the old I. O. O. F. Hall above Vane Wagner’s I. G. A. Store on Talmadge Avenue in the old village. Membership increased steadily and in 1946 the group erected this building. For decades, the Clayton Grange set up a display at the Montgomery County Fair. The historical society has three signs once used in the fair displays. When a fair-goer asked one of the grange members how the name was selected he said, “Well, it’s funny. When the grange first started, not many people were enthused about it. They kept saying, ‘It’s just a mere grange.’ Well it stuck and that’s what it’s been called ever since.” The “Just-A-Mere” Grange, No. 2658, disbanded about 1977, after the area it served lost its rural nature and became more urbanized. The Society is always interested in obtaining local historic photos. If you have similar items to share, please call 832-1858.

Englewood to begin leaf pickup Oct. 15 ENGLEWOOD — The Englewood Service Department will begin its annual leaf pickup program on October 15 and continue through November 27. Pickup days will vary from week to week; however, it is the City’s goal to pick up leaves throughout the whole city at least once a week. The following is a guide to leaf pickup: * Rake your leaves into the street, approximately 6 inches away from gutter to allow rain water to go into the catch basins. * Leaf pickup creates a fine dust in the air, so plan to wash your car or hang your laundry out after your pickup. * Leaves WILL NOT be picked up from under, between or around parked cars. * DO NOT put grass clippings, tree branches or brush with your leaves. They clog the vacuum units and WILL NOT be picked up. * Do not try to rake as trucks are going by. * Bagged leaves will be collected during normal trash pickup.

OPINION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. - The First Amendment to the United States Constitution
Saving our downtowns, one megamall at a time Last week I covered a story for the local newspaper about a business that has been in downtown Xenia, Ohio for more than 70 years. To celebrate, the chamber of commerce held a ribbon cutting attended by the usual fare of friends, associates and dignitaries, all wanting either to sincerely congratulate the proprietors or mug their way into the photo op. Whatever their reasons for attending, it was refreshing to see people taking an interest in a small town’s revitalization. Every day local governments offer tax breaks and other perks designed to attract new businesses to settle in their region, the obvious benefits to which are jobs and tax revenue. A good idea, of course, but while they’re building new strip malls on one end of town, the downtown sits empty and abandoned leaving the same government officials to puzzle over what to do with empty, decaying buildings. So why not provide more incentive for businesses to locate in existing downtown areas before adding more sprawl? For those already there, encourage them to stay rather than making it easier for them to move into the latest strip mall. Some communities sprang up from joined housing

developments but for those like Xenia, Bellbrook, Jamestown and Fairborn, there is history, culture and charm still to be reclaimed. It’s truly puzzling why there is not more incentive to do what Xenia’s business owners are doing very well – revitalize and rejuvenate the downtown. Most confusing of all is the approval by local governments of sprawling megamalls like The Greene, in Kettering, or is it Beavercreek? I’m not sure even they know where they are located. The brick walkways and old-fashioned street lights illuminating an array of sidewalk cafes and specialty shops were designed to look just like old downtown shopping squares that have long since been abandoned. While they might add something to the local job market, these monster malls with their fake skylines, congested parking lots and
Segway-riding rent-a-cops, do little to enhance the community. The sad thing is, eventually, the buildings go out of style and repulse new customers after a dozen years or so. When Beavercreek’s Mall at Fairfield Commons first opened, it was all the rage; no more driving all the way out to Centerville or northwest Dayton to shop at an indoor mall. Today, there are huge unoccupied spaces in all of the indoor retail behemoths as businesses either shut down or move into newlydesigned malls. Believe it or not, “If you build it, they will come,” applies far more to retail sales than it ever did to a cornfield baseball diamond, so build it downtown. No matter where you put the temples of American gluttony and materialism people will find them and go to worship the almighty Abercrombie. City governments should do more to help property owners attract major tenants to the old downtown areas, particularly big mall-style anchor stores. It would only take a couple of them to generate more interest from others and grow revenue for the property owners and the municipality. Over the next month or so,
small town politicians will be scrambling to win over your vote. Ask them the same questions posed here. If we really want to save our downtown areas, we have to start at the government level. Instead of spending time and money worrying about ridiculous issues like whether a store’s sign is wood or plastic, how about making it easier and more attractive for businesses to locate in the downtown areas? It really is that easy. A civic ambassador with a high-level business background in national retail sales could help to develop a plan of action and take it to companies like Macy’s and Abercrombie. Show them that it’s possible to create the genuine version of the fake atmosphere so popular at the outdoor malls. If it’s done properly, it would bring people downtown again to shop, eat and socialize. Small business cannot support such efforts without a few major players in the ballgame. If there are to be more 70-year old businesses downtown, there needs to be a downtown for them to be in. Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer based in Jamestown, Ohio.

What Congress needs to do about the NSA Washington is beginning to debate the proper extent of government eavesdropping powers in the wake of Edward Snowden’s revelations about the NSA. It’s hardly as robust a discussion as it should be, but it’s a desperately needed start. The colossal effort to monitor Americans’ communications has been going on for at least seven years, under two presidents. It constitutes an expansion of government power without precedent in the modern era. Yet while some members of Congress were informed about it — and all had the opportunity to learn — none saw an urgent need for public discussion. This is astounding. It took the actions of a leaker to spur any real airing of the matter on Capitol Hill. Even now, it seems unlikely that Congress will make significant policy changes. That’s because all the nation’s key actors and institutions appear to approve of the surveillance programs. By its silence, Congress clearly supported them. Presidents Bush and Obama backed them. The intelligence community, a powerful voice on national security issues, has resolutely defended them. The courts that are supposed to keep them in line with the Constitution have been deferential to national security
Lee Hamilton The Center on Congress at Indiana University
authorities, raising a few questions from time to time, but in the end approving all but a handful of tens of thousands of data-gathering requests. And the American people, by their lack of widespread outrage, have signaled that in this one case, at least, they believe the government can be trusted to keep us safe. In short, Congress — the forum where issues of such national importance should be hashed out — missed its chance to lead a reasoned national debate over how extensive we want surveillance over Americans’ communications to be. It’s unlikely that genie can ever again be forced back into its bottle. Yet even the director of national intelligence, James Clapper — who once denied point-blank to Congress that the government collects data on millions of Americans — now sees the need for some sort of change. “We can do with more oversight and give
people more confidence in what we do,” he said in a midSeptember speech. Yes, indeed. Here’s the problem: once given power, the government rarely yields it. So you have to think not only about its present use, but how it will be used a decade or even more from now. Even if you concede that the current administration and its intelligence leadership have been responsible stewards of the powers they’ve been given — and I don’t — that is no guarantee that the people who follow them, or the people who come after that, will be equally trustworthy. This means that Congress has some challenging work ahead. It needs to restore the proper balance between effective intelligence-gathering and intrusion into Americans’ privacy. It needs to demand more thoroughgoing accountability from the intelligence community. It needs to exercise greater oversight and insist on more transparency, more information, and more constraint on surveillance programs — defining what is truly relevant to an investigation, creating more stringent definitions of which communications are fair game, and finding ways to assure Americans that protecting their privacy and civil liberties need not mean the wholesale vacuum-
ing-up of every domestic phone and email record in existence. There is no place for the timidity Congress has shown so far on these issues. Our system depends on a vigorous Congress. The administration argues that it can provide rigorous intelligence-gathering oversight, but it has yet to prove it can do so — and in our system of checks and balances, it’s not enough to have one branch of government overseeing itself. Congress, the courts, and the appointed presidentially Privacy and Civil Liberties Board all have to step up to their responsibilities. Americans should demand action to strike a better balance between privacy and security. In the past, the congressional overseers of the intelligence community have been captivated, if not captured, by the people they’re supposed to be supervising. Same with the courts. And the administration has hardly been forthcoming. That means it’s up to the American people to insist that our leaders do their jobs. It’s no less true today than it was at our founding: the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Lee Hamilton is Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University.

Colorado’s Fracking Disaster In flood-struck areas, a tsunami of floodwater swamped fracking infrastructure As the people of Colorado are presently learning, it’s horrendous enough to suffer the ravages of a natural disaster, but it’s doubly horrific to then be faced with a more devastating unnatural disaster. First came the epic floods that recently ripped through the front range, tearing up towns, roads, waterways, mountain homes and businesses, farms, and lives. Just awful. But now comes the added horror of unknown levels of poisonous contaminants pouring out of many of the thousands of fracking sites that pock this area. Big Oil frackers were

already notorious in Boulder and Weld Counties for the environmental, health, and economic damage being done by this ravaging method of forcing gas out of the rock deep under Earth’s surface. Now, though, the corporate wells, tanks, ponds, and other fracking infrastructure have been swamped by a tsunami of
floodwater and destructive debris. Even in the chaos of people scrambling to get out of the flood’s way and to secure their property, many residents were so alarmed by seeing this mess of flooded wells, overturned tanks of highly toxic chemicals and wastewater, and ruptured lines that they paused to take pictures and videos. They then posted these on websites and Facebook pages to document this unexpected threat of widespread, longterm damage from fracking contaminants and to alert neighbors to the dangers. After all, the frackers themselves weren’t telling
the public about this unfolding disaster, the big media outlets were curiously incurious about it, and regulators were also silent. So, like the pamphleteers of old, the people formed their own network of communication — and they’ve now turned it into a citizens’ action network.

No TV for this pooch I have a problem. My 7-pound poodle Tillie won’t watch television. I think it would be nice if she sat down with me in my favorite easy chair and watched the TV especially on rainy or snowy days when we can’t spend much time outdoors. The way I see it TV needs some programs that would appeal to Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Collies and even plain old Heinz 57 variety pooches. One option is to tweak some past hit TV shows in a way that would appeal to dogs. For openers, the titles of those old shows could be easily changed to give them more dog-appeal. I mean, what dog wouldn’t want to tune in re-runs of the TV series titled “Waggin’ Train?” The same would be true with a program named “The Late Show with David Labrador.” I’m thinking all sorts of canines would even get a kick out of some of the more popular TV commercials like those promoting the Greyhound Bus Co. or the ones hyping Oscar

Mayer hotdogs. Lots of humans dislike TV re-runs but some dogs would love them, especially if the show was titled “All-time Great Boxers.” Quite frankly, the possibilities of dog-appealing TV shows are endless. They include: * Reruns of the musical “Fiddler on the Woof ” or a live TV concert starring the talented Joe Cocker. * Reruns of the longtime hit show “Kukla, Fran and Collie.” * Dogs could also relate to movies starring Nicholas Cage or Ellen Barkin. While we are on the subject, one show to avoid letting your dog view would be any concert featuring the music of Cat Stevens. Contact Bob at bbatz@woh.rr.com

Prospective volunteers will be put through an audition process that involves the reading of several articles as well as an interview and a background check. After making it through the interview process, readers will read the same paper/magazine or novel for an hour each week. Many volunteers have been reading on air for five or more years. “I always feel like, the old saying, there for the grace of God go I,” said Sharon Ray, a reader for over 20 years, about the most rewarding aspect of being a reader. “And

After slow start Thunderbolts crush Dunbar By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com DAYTON — Maybe it was aura of the idyllic autumn evening Friday at Welcome Stadium or maybe Northmont didn’t take Dunbar seriously, but whatever the case the Thunderbolts got off to a sluggish start before eventually trouncing the Wolverines 478. “We definitely started off slow tonight and I knew we would,” said Northmont coach Lance Schneider. “You could sense that there was something about this week, the way we practiced, the way we played tonight. The attitude we had like, ‘Oh, it’s just Dunbar. We don’t need to work so hard.’ We were not the team I am used to seeing out there. If we had played any

other team tonight, we would have lost. The attitude will have to change or it will be a long conference season.” It took the Thunderbolts awhile to get rolling. On their second possession of the game the TBolts took over at Dunbar’s 47 and took 10 plays to drive to the Wolverines’ five where Chris Okos got Northmont on the scoreboard with a 22 yard field goal. Zach Weatherford got the ball back for Northmont with an interception. Weatherford picked off Dunbar quarterback Chris Jackson’s pass at the 35 and returned it to the 15. Three plays later Okos kicked a 23 yard field goal to put Northmont up 6-0. Northmont would eventually generate 292 yards in total offense, but once again it was due in large part to senior quarterback Graham Oberer. By night’s end Oberer would complete 15 of 21 pass attempts for 231 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed seven times for 31 yards. On Northmont’s first pos-
session of the second quarter Oberer tossed a 19 yard touchdown to Ryan Smith to put the T-Bolts up 12-0. Dunbar appeared headed for its first score of the evening on its next possession when quarterback Terrance Landers completed a 32 yard pass to Darnell Jewett to give the Wolverines a first down at the Northmont 36. Two plays later Northmont senior defensive back Isaiah Williams intercepted Landers next pass at the 21 and returned it 49 yards to give the T-Bolts excellent field position at the Dunbar 30. On first down Oberer completed a 21 yard pass to Jonny Lowery for a first and goal at the nine. From there Ryan Smith took a handoff and scored his second TD of the evening. Northmont went for a two-point conversion with Oberer hitting Isaiah Williams in the end zone with a pass to put the Thunderbolts up, 20-0. Dunbar put together a decent 54 yard drive but was faced with a fourth down and seven at the Northmont 11.

Lady Bolts place seventh at GWOC By Andrew Wilson Contributing Writer
CENTERVILLE — The Northmont girl’s tennis team finished in seventh place at the GWOC Gold Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 28. The tournament, which features the top eight teams in the conference, took place at Centerville High School. The Lady Thunderbolts were led by Akilah Parker, who despite being a fifth seed, made her presence felt by finishing in third place in the first singles round. Parker opened the tournament with a con-
vincing 8-1 victory over Greenville’s Sophia Navas-Davis before falling to eventual champion Carley Sickinger by a score of 8-6. Parker rebounded by defeating Springboro’s Rachael Rose 8-3 to secure a third place finish. “I was so proud of her and she showed that she is on the top 3 (if not the best singles player in the entire GWOC),” said Northmont coach Christine Hall. “I was disappointed with her being voted the fifth seed, but she came out and proved she should’ve been the two seed (playing the

A few key points ended in Sickinger’s favor and turned the momentum. Akilah was playing very today, all parts of her game were ON!” In the second singles match, Marissa Anderson fell to Greenville’s Michelle Borgerding in the opening match, but later defeated Troy’s Maggie Hennessy 8-2 to finish in seventh place. Kennedy Harden had similar results in the third singles round, falling to
Miamisburg’s Jada Strickland in the opening match, but later defeating Butler’s Elaine Miller by a score of 8-2 to place seventh. The first doubles team of Michelle Hibbard and Hailey Weaver opened the match with an 8-1 loss to top seeded Maddy Talbot and Blair Schumacher of Springboro. Soon after, Hibbard and Weaver fell to Analise Cox and Chelsea Hohenbrink by a score of 8-0 to f inish in sixth place. Similarly, the second doubles team featuring Amari McCain and Ellie Barone, the number eight seed, fell to Centerville’s
Abby Roesch and Brooke Flory by a score of 8-0 and then lost to Troy’s Akari Nagata / Zoey Scancarello 8-2. “We were excited to be invited to the GOLD flight this year,” said Hall. “We knew the competition would be tough, but we were up for the challenge. I was pleased with our showing at all spots. We finished higher than our seed at all positions, and this resulted in us beating out Troy and f inishing seventh.” The Lady Thunderbolts will compete at the sectional tournament at Troy High School on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

Boys golf team beats Tipp, falls to Troy By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com CLAYTON – During a trimatch Monday on the front nine at Moss Creek Golf Course the Northmont boys golf team shot a respectable team score of 174 to defeat Tipp City, but that score wasn’t good enough to beat Troy. The Trojans shot a stellar 159 led by Dalton Cascaden with a 37, Troy Moore had a 38 and Connor Super came in with a 40. Northmont was led by sophomore Shawn Richards with a 41, senior Clayton Swafford had a 44, sophomore Ben Sage also shot 44 and sophomore Luke Knapke finished with a 45. Tippecanoe finished at 180 led by Brad Cohoun with a 39 while Wyatt Wilson shot 45. Coach Nathan Hannahan’s season long goal is to break 170 in a 9-hole tournament. “We fell just a few strokes short in the final weeks of the season, but I’m very optimistic that we will pursue

With a team featuring six sophomores the prospect of improved scores next season seems likely after the experience those players gained during the 2013 campaign. Shawn Richards is the top sophomore player who Hannahan sees as the foundation of next season’s program. On September 16 the Thunderbolts scored a major victory over Miamisburg, a top team in the Greater Western Ohio Conference South Division. Miamisburg is the No. 2 team in the South Division behind Springboro. The Thunderbolts beat the Viking 180 to 188 on the front nine at Moss Creek. Junior Greg Peffley led Northmont with round of 41 followed by Bryce Timmons with a 45, Ben Sage shot 46 and Luke Knapke shot 48. “Regardless of Miamisburg shooting a higher than an average score for their team on nine holes we still had to post a solid score in order to beat them,” Hannahan stated. “It was a nice win over a powerhouse team from the GWOC South.” September 20 against Wayne at Moss Creek the TBolts shot their best round of the season with 172 but Wayne still came out on top with a score of 166. The Warriors were led by Seth Strong with a two-under par 34 on the front nine while Dave Mohr shot a season best 41. Luke Knapke led Northmont with a 41, Shawn Richards shot 43, Greg Peffley 44 and Bryce Timmons also shot 44. Last Thursday Northmont competed in the GWOC Postseason Tournament and recorded a team score of 354, three stokes better than the Thunderbolts GWOC Preseason Tournament score of 357. Northmont was led by three sophomores, each of which shot rounds in the 80s. Luke Knapke had an 86, Shawn Richards had an 88 and Ben Sage had an 89. Senior Clayton Swafford in his final GWOC match shot a 91. Looking forward to next season coach Hannahan said

Thunderbolts go scoreless against Fairfield By RON NUNNARI Independent Editor Rnunnari@civitasmedia.com
CLAYTON — After an outstanding effort that gave the Northmont boys soccer team a 2-1 victory September 24 over No. 2 ranked Centerville, the Thunderbolts could not find the net Saturday during a 40 loss to Fairfield. With the win Fairfield improved to 5-7-1 while Northmont dropped to 7-33. Brian Feller scored Fairfield’s only goal of the first half with 19:45 remaining. In the second half Neil Braam scored at 34:09, Francisco Gonzalez at 27:22 and Drew Burch with 19:37 remaining. “It’s a mystery team out here. We have a lot of skill and ability but we don’t always have the ability to actually perform,” said Northmont coach John Boucuvalas. “It’s hard to predict how we are going to

do. We have talent, but some guys just aren’t performers so we’re not always sure when we are actually going to get the job done.” Boucuvalas went on to state that he would like to develop some consistency in the soccer program. In his first year as head coach he and his coaching staff have been doing everything they can to try and get some results. “I’d like to develop a culture of consistency and confidence and not just doing well when things are going well and not falling apart when things aren’t going well,” he added. “Today is a little reality check for us. We’re not there yet, but if we can stay humble I think we will be better off in the long run. A little humility hopefully will help us in the long run for the season.” Saturday the Bolts play at Tecumseh at 3 p.m. and on Tuesday, October 8 close regular season play at home vs. Wayne.
Tippecanoe dedicates season to the late Billy Moore This season, all of the Tipp football helmets have two stickers on them: both are black circles with red initials. One is for Alkie Richards, the Red Devils head football coach from 1951-1964. Over his career, Richards taught and coached in Tipp City and Troy for a collective 30 years. He passed away in Februrary of this year. The other sticker circle is for Billy. At the first home game against Greenville on Sept. 6, the Tippecanoe football players walked out with a special banner that read “In Memory of Coach Moore.” The banner is a collage of pictures throughout Billy’s coaching

“That was our thing,” Denise said, admitting they let her mom Vicki come - but only once. This November, Denise, her boyfriend Ryan, who is a coach at Oakwood, and Vicki will be making the trek again to Notre Dame in honor of Billy. Another more permanent way to honor his memory is a fund Denise set up through the Tipp City Area Community Foundations. They developed the “Coach Billy Moore Athletic Fund.” It is not a scholarship fund. Rather, the money is earmarked for grants for football, wrestling and baseball coaches: all the sports her dad coached. The coaches can request new equipment, new helmets, new jerseys, etc. “This way the money comes back to the kids at the school,” Denise said, adding that it fits in with her dad’s theme “Fundamentals are the key to success.” To donate to the fund, send a check to with the memo line “Coach Billy Moore Fund” to Tipp City Foundations, P.O. Box 626, Tipp City OH 45371. For more information, call Foundations president Dr. Jim Ranft at (937) 667-1720 or visit www.tippfoundation.org.

Moore,” Burgbacher said. “He touched a lot of lives.” Billy’s net of lives touched extended to Troy as well, where he served for 12 years as football defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. One of the players he coached was Kris Dielman, who went on to become an offensive lineman with the San Diego Chargers. Billy was never committed to one particular NFL team - until Dielman became a Charger. For her dad’s birthday one year, Denise scored tickets to a Chargers/Colts game in Indianapolis. A Family Thing Denise grew up with her dad coaching - she was always with him out at football practice, and weekends were spent at the games. Come Saturdays, though, that was all about Notre Dame. Denise grew up in a Fighting Irish household. “Mom is a football fanatic, too,” she said. One of Denise’s best memories was being able to take her dad to a Notre Dame game. Once she graduated from college and was hired in Tipp City (Denise is a French teacher at the high school), Denise and Billy began a tradition to go to Notre Dame for a game once a year.

days. The banner now hangs at the press box in the stadium. Before being hung, it was presented to four of Billy’s ex-athletes: Alex Baker, Greg Wasson, Jimmy Hall and Mike Moore. Baker was a member of the class of 2012 for Tippecanoe High School. Wasson was a wrestler on Billy’s team when he coached at Vandalia-Butler, and now Wasson’s son Jarett plays for the Tipp football team. Jarett was one of the players who carried the banner out onto the field. Hall and Moore also worked under Billy when they were football players at Vandalia-Butler. Hall has two sons who now play at Tippecanoe: Jacob, a senior, and Alex, who is a junior. Billy actually started out working in Vandalia-Butler High School. He graduated from there in 1969 and went back to teach in the district in 1974. He taught physical science and life science at Morton Middle, and served as the OWE coordinator at the high school. He also coached for 13 years at Vandalia-Butler in football, wrestling and baseball. “I come into contact with a lot of people - I can’t even count the number - who live in Vandalia and know Billy

TIPP CITY — The Tippecanoe High football team has dedicated their season to a special person this year - the late Billy Moore. Moore passed away April 20 at the age of 62 from stage 4 melanoma cancer. He had been fighting it since early 2012, and even coached part of a season before chemotherapy forced him to quit. But even though he had to give up coaching, Moore never gave up completely. “He was always asking ‘okay, what’s the next step,’” his daughter Denise Moore recalled. “There was never
any giving up - that was not in his vocabulary.” Moore passed on that tenacity to his players - he came out of retirement to coach the Tippecanoe linebackers under Charlie Burgbacher. Before that, he had coached at both Vandalia-Butler and Troy High School. “The kids really responded to Bill’s coaching,” Burgbacher said in a previous interview. “He had a great rapport with the kids.” According to Denise, Billy brought a laidback style to his coaching. Burgbacher added, “He brought a calming effect to our coaching staff.”
