“Tattoos are like Doritos. You can’t eat just one.” — Zach Rowe smile,” he said. In addition to his art training, Rowe also is certified in blood-borne pathogens, CPR, first aid and the prevention of disease transmission. Vision Ink’s prices are based on how much time it takes to complete a tattoo, not on the size of the art. The shop has a $30 minimum on all tattoos, and charges $100 an hour. The shop takes walkins and appointments, which are recommended for larger designs. Vision Ink is open Tuesday through Thursday noon to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday noon to 10 p.m. Sunday and Monday STAFF PHOTO/LINDY JURACK hours are by appointment Vision Ink Tattoo is now open in downtown Piqua at 425 N.

PIQUA — A new tattoo shop has opened in downtown Piqua, offering thousands of designs as well as custom art done by an experienced professional in the trade. Vision Ink Tattoo opened at 425 N. Main St. on Aug. 1. It is located in the former White Pines Tailoring store front, between Glamour Paws on Mane and the Piqua Arts Council. Owner Zach Rowe is the sole artist in the shop. “We try to offer our best service to our customers and make them feel at home,” Rowe said. Vision Ink does all types of tattoos and also offers body piercing. Thousands of ready-made designs line the walls of the shop for customers to browse through. Rowe also can do portraits and custom freehand work, tattooing a customer’s design or drawing what the customer asks for himself. Rowe co-owns the shop with his wife, Maureen. They are originally from California, but now live in Sidney. Christopher Parsons, of Piqua, also works at Vision Ink, as an apprentice. It is typical for tattoo artists to learn the skill by completing a six-
month apprenticeship. Rowe has been a tattoo artist for 20 years. He has an associate degree in art from San Fransisco Art Academy and has worked at several tattoo shops, including the former Trojan Body Art in Troy. He particularly excels at traditional Japanese tattoos that cover the full body. “I love the art and freedom to be able to express my mind and deal with customers one-on-one,” Rowe said. Rowe and Parsons said the most popular tattoos are butterflies, frogs and tribal inkings. Rowe said the majority of people come in not knowing what they want, and he can help pick their brains to choose the best tattoo. It is often said once a person gets one tattoo, more will follow. Rowe, who stopped counting his own ink after 10, puts it simply. “Tattoos are like Doritos. You can’t eat just one,” he said. “The adrenaline from getting a tattoo is addictive.” Getting a tattoo might be a scary process for first-timers, but Rowe and Parsons keep positive attitudes to help ease the minds of all their customers. “We welcome everybody with warm arms and a big

La Bella Viaggio in Troy has presented a 5K race, and the second year it has teamed up with Pink Ribbon Girls, a grassroots organization established in October 2010. Regina Moos, La Bella’s office manager, said 400 runners came out for last year’s race and raised $15,000, surpassing goals of 300 runners and $10,000. Moos hopes to have 400 again this year, and encourages people to join teams or create their own groups. Teams are not limited to any amount of people. “Last year, lots of people came in teams and that was really cool. I would love to have more teams,” she said. This year, Jeff Coudron from Speedy Feet will help out at the race with chips to track runner’s times. The top three runners, male and female, in each age category will win a medal. The race certainly isn’t only for serious runners. Moos said almost 90 percent of the people who participated last year walked the 3.1-mile route. The event also features face painting and refreshments, including bagels from Panera Bread. All participants are encouraged to wear their pink gear in support of breast cancer. One individual will be named best dressed and win a $50 Chipotle gift card. The best

The Dayton Chapter of Pink Ribbon Girls helps women throughout the entire Miami Valley from Dayton to Greenville, but the funds raised at the 5K will specifically stay in Miami County to help local women. “Everybody realizes now that you know someone (who has been affected by breast cancer) — a friend or a sister. So it’s right here in our backyard,” Moos said. “It feels good that these women know where they can go for help.” The Dayton chapter was founded by Heather Printz Salazar, who has battled the disease herself. Regardless of the age of the woman or stage of the cancer, all women can receive healthy meals, housekeeping, transportation to treatment and peer support through Pink Ribbon
Girls. The group also offers child care to help lighten the load on mothers, so they can focus on their fight. Through its Love Your Girls program, Pink Ribbon Girls provides education and support for women with its website, social and print media, public speaking forums, pink game days, community events and other breast cancer organizations. When the race was organized last year, Pink Ribbon Girls was just getting its feet off the ground and had helped about seven women going through cancer. Since then, 158 women have been helped, with more signing up every day, Salazar said. “No one travels this road alone,” Salazar said. “And this community has really supported us.” Moos and Salazar are already looking toward
next year and making the Pink Ribbon Girls race a community staple. They hope to keep it on the first or second weekend of October each year, and plans are already under way to move the 2013 race downtown. “We’re really excited to say Karin Manovich helped us get the race moved to downtown next year,” Moos said. “All the merchants I’ve talked to so far are excited about decorating their windows.” The race is sponsored by La Bella Viaggio, Freisthler Paving, Panera Bread and Advocare — Jeff and Vicki Varvel. “La Bella Viaggio is grateful for all the businesses and individuals who have donated or sponsored for the 5K run/walk,” Moos said.

Just in the past six months, he has been to Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.

With many contacts in the toy industry, Alexander knows first-hand there is a huge market for collectibles from this time frame.

TROY — Glamour Nails and Hair Gallery is saying thank you to our country’s heroes by offering free haircuts for the whole month of September. Veterans, military personnel, firefighters and police officers are invited to come to the salon, 1085 W. Main St., during the rest of this month for a free haircut. Owner Cindy Gulker got the idea to offer the cuts to military because some of her son’s friends are in the service. “I thought there’s got to be a way to thank them for their service to our country,� she said. After talking it over with her staff at the salon, Gulker decided to extend the offer to veterans, firefighters and police officers. “I have probably the best staff I could ask for. They donate their time

There is a fine line between what the collecting value is and the real world market value.� Alexander also does appraisals on collections for insurance purposes. Many people have collections reaching into the six-figure level, he said, and collectors need to establish the market value to insure the goods. He also does consignments for higher-end pieces and helps sellers connect with individuals all around the world to get their items sold. Contact Alexander at (937) 638-3188.

Apple Tree goes Halloween Eerie bottles, festive garland popular this year BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor PIQUA — It’s hard to believe it’s the time of year for carved orange pumpkins, spooky black cats and bone-white skeletons already. Luckily, the gorgeous colors of fall and Halloween fun help transition us from summer to autumn, and Apple Tree Gallery in downtown Piqua is decorated accordingly. The shop carries Halloween decor all year round in its Halloween loft space, but right now the holiday is front and center. In one store front window a pair of skeletons are getting ready for a party by setting the table and getting out the board games in front of a fireplace decorated with black garland and orange lights. Also in the window, an old witch wanders through a graveyard. Just inside the door all the new Halloween items are showcased on various tables and stands. Shirley Anderson, who owns Apple Tree Gallery with her husband, Gary, said they set up for the October holiday about three weeks ago. One of the top-selling lines is the Bethany Lowe collection, which features figurines of witches, jack-in-the-box toys, fat little pumpkins trick-ortreating with masks and much more. One brand new item this year are empty glass bottles with spooky labels, such as Mummy Dust, Vampire Teeth, Viper’s Venom and Hemlock Root Extract. The bottles come in different colors, including red, line green, orange

All the new items for Halloween are front and center at Apple Tree Gallery. Garland featuring cats and skulls (shown here) is popular this year, along with the bottles for creepy ingredients (shown on iN75 cover). and clear, and are topped with glittery stoppers with bats or skulls. Anderson said the bottles are popular this year, and Apple Tree sold some out at the Heritage Festival. Garland also is carried to the cash register more often than not. The store has garland featuring skulls, cats or letters spelling out trick-or-treat. Designer Vergie Lightfoot has created a delightfully spooky animal circus line with elephants, zebras, cats and more, which is part of the display at Apple Tree. Elaine Roesle’s Snow Children line, handmade in Clayton, gets in the Halloween spirit with mummies in coffins. Antique-looking books
that are actually boxes are popular, too, Anderson said. Made by Lancaster Market, the book covers feature vintage inspired Halloween designs. Apple Tree also has items for the holiday from K and K Interiors and Midwest. Last January, Apple Tree Gallery added a vintage Halloween collection, displayed in a showcase in the front of the store. It contains many items by designer Bruce Elsass, a New Knoxville native who now lives in Connecticut. Some of the items for sale are from his own vintage collection. The store also added showcases with vintage Christmas items last spring. Anderson said Apple
Tree has always had a section dedicated to Halloween, and about five years ago, it got so big they moved it to the upstairs loft area. Items from previous years may still be available up in the loft, and everything new from this year will go up in the loft after the season is over. “I’ve always loved Halloween — not the scary, gory stuff — but I like the season and the colors,” Anderson said. Check out Apple Tree Gallery at 405 N. Main St. or call the store at (937) 773-1801 for more information. The store is open Monday through Friday 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

GET UP & GO Rhythm Corndrinkers TIPP CITY — The Corndrinkers will play at the Tipp Roller Mill Theater Saturday evening. For the past 37 years the Corndrinkers have kept alive the tunes and songs of the southern mountain stringbands from the golden age of country music, the 1920s and ’30s. Inspired by the tunes of such country music pioneers as the Carter Family, the Skillet Lickers, Uncle Dave Macon, Charlie Poole and the Delmore Brothers, the Corndrinkers have played at festivals and dances throughout Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere in the Appalachian region. The band is a summertime tradition in southwest Ohio, playing and calling the barn dances at Carriage Hill MetroPark in Huber Heights for almost four decades. The band is Barb Kuhns and Linda Scutt on twin fiddles, Tom Duffee playing banjo, Doug Smith on guitar and dobro and Al Turnbull on bass fiddle. The Corndrinkers have recorded two CDs, “The Corndrinkers” and “Corndrinkers Still.” Joining the Corndrinkers for this performance will be Appalachian-style clog and step-dancer Beth Wright.
She toured for nine years as a member of the Dayton based Rhythm in Shoes ensemble and is currently a resident artist with the Muse Machine Program in Dayton. 225 E.

Opening Friday ‘Trouble with the Curve’
K C I L CATCH A F
Gus Lobel has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus, who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat, refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country’s hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask — his daughter, Mickey, an associate at a highpowered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus’s objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. (Warner Bros.)

But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret. Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared — leaving only a brother, Ryan, as the sole survivor. Against Sarah’s wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan and the closer they get, the deeper they’re all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.

Jennifer Lawrence stars in “House at the End of the Street.”
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington, D.C., lies Mega City One vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd is the ultimate judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge — a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “SloMo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.

‘Unconditional’
Samantha Crawford is living a storybook life: she’s happily married, she lives on a ranch where she keeps her beloved horse and the stories she’s told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. When her husband, Billy, is killed in a senseless act of violence, Sam loses her faith and her will to live. But a death-defying encounter with two children leads to a reunion with Joe, her oldest friend. As Sam watches “Papa” Joe care for and love the kids in his under-resourced neighborhood, she begins to realize that no matter life’s circumstances, the love of God is always reaching out to us.

them. She used canning jars year after year to can meats and vegetables for the winter months. Bottles of soda and milk were kept and taken back to the store to be cleaned and refilled at the distributers. Paper bags from the grocery stores were used in many different ways, such as lining our dresser drawers and draining the grease off fried chicken from the frying pan. We never walked away from the television without turning it off, same with the lights. My mom could hear the refrigerator door open two blocks away. “Shut the refrigerator door,” she would yell! “Your letting the cold out!” I was always in trouble with that one. Windex? What was that? Mom used vinegar and water as a window cleaner and buffed the windows out with used newspapers, and they just sparkled. I know times are different, and we are all doing our part to keep our world clean and healthy, but wouldn’t it be nice to go back to those days for just a few weeks. Maybe start all over and teach ourselves how to do it the right way again.

Recently, I was talking with a 26-year-old gal who informed me that our world is in such bad shape now because of my generation and the one before me. My head spun off my shoulders! I know we have all done things we are not proud of in the recycling world, but I can also remember when things were so different. Example: When I was growing up, my mom hung out all of our laundry on a line to dry. This process took hours. We had a dryer, but she thought it was better to let them dry on the line. When our sheets and towels were no longer useable, she would cut them up and make cleaning rags out of
