PIQUA — As the economic future remains cloudy and the year draws nearer to an end, efforts are being made to keep a tight rein on the purse strings. So while a change in speed limits was a huge part of Tuesday’s Piqua City Commission meeting, another topic was existing purchase orders. “We went through $24,000 in eight months and we are going to go through 26 in four?” asked commissioner John Martin, bringing what would otherwise be a seemingly benign resolution involving office supplies up for debate. Interim city manager and economic director Bill Murphy referred the question to assistant

Commissioners reduce allocation

The Magic of Recycling!, a nationwide program performed for the benefit of today’s elementary school students was presented by magician Greg Allen in association with the Miami County Solid Waste District. It also was presented at schools in Troy and West Milton this past week. “Our mission is to get them really excited about recycling,” Allen said. “It’s a fun and energetic show and hopefully they go home and tell their parents about it.”

The interactive magic show, which brought many students up front to help Allen with skits, was all about “making things disappear.” “I am going to talk about something and I’m going to talk about garbage,” Allen said as the students cheered. “Sounds like fun, right? But it’s going to be lots of fun.” During the 50-minute MIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTO show, several students assisted Allen, like first- Magician Greg Allen gets some assistance from High grader Braylon Shawler, Street School third-graders Cassidy Clark and Brody Stahl during a Magic of Recycling show at the school See Magician/Page 2 on Monday.

IT’S BACK! Local history coordinator Gary Meek discusses the return of a 19th century cannonball to the Piqua Public Library on Friday. The ball was stolen from the library earlier this year and recovered by Piqua police.

Historic 19th century cannonball returned to Piqua Public Library after mysterious theft BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@dailycall.com

MIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTO

PIQUA —A homecoming of sorts transpired Friday morning at the Piqua Public Library that was long overdue. A historic piece of 19th century ballistics was returned by the Piqua Police Department following a mysterious theft earlier this year. Last February, when a historic cannonball was stolen, library and police officials thought they might not ever recover the six-pound, solid shot iron cannonball that was origi-

nally found lodged within a tree at Johnston Farm more than a century ago. The cannonball had been on display at the library for decades. On Friday, after spending several months inside an evidence locker at the Piqua Police Department while an investigation was pending, Police Chief Bruce Jamison reunited the piece of 19th century cannonball with its rightful owner. The cannonball dates back to either the War of 1812 or the Civil War when military encampments See Cannonball/Page 2

Rain doesn’t stop tractors

Students at Miami East High School, including Colin Hawes, drove their tractor to school Friday.The school recognized National Farm Safety and Health Week with several events this week.

Spending Continued from page 1 city manager and finance director Cynthia Holtzapple on the authorization of the purchase order in question to Francis Office Supply that would rise from $24,000 to $50,000 for the 2011 budget. “The $50,000 amount that we are requesting is basically looking at what was approximately spent last year,” Holtzapple explained as the city had spent a little over $47,000 by the end of 2010. “We don’t necessarily spend the same amounts each year.” The city departments could spend far less than the additional $26,000 being requested as Mayor Lucy Fess pointed out to commission and those in attendance It was here that Martin asked if the departments, in charge of ordering their own supplies, had done any price comparisons, specifically online. “Certainly,” Holtzapple replied, stating that Francis is not the only supplier that they work through. “We don’t routinely order the same amount from Francis in any department, at any given month.” Holtzapple also ex-

plained that the departments are required to check for better pricing from other sources and that they order on an asneeded basis. However, Martin had concerns about why $48,000 wasn’t the original amount requested thus limiting the topic to a once-a-year discussion before moving to amend the resolution to add only $12,000 to the budget. The was seconded by commissioner Joe Wilson for what will be a total of $36,000 for the year. It wasn’t just office supplies feeling the heat as purchase order amounts for vehicle maintenance also drew attention, specifically that of Commissioner Bill Vogt. What had originally been $25,000 to Paul Sherry and the same amount to the Service Company had jumped to $100,000 for the former and $80,000 the latter. Service and Sherry are two of seven three-year contracts the city holds with garages for various vehicle maintenance, part of a proposal passed in 2009 to allocate work on the city’s fleet, such as Paul Sherry doing oil changes for lighter vehi-

cles. This initiative was brought about by Vogt to ensure that no singular garage received all the work which lead to Holtzapple elaborating on the hikes being the result of an increased in vehicle maintenance. “Once again we don’t know what those estimates will be between now and year end,” said Holtzapple. “However, to date it indicates it’ll be higher than in year’s past.” In what was felt as work not being allocated fairly to other vendors, possible overcharges and at least one utility truck needing extensive work, commission asked law director Stacy Wall to review the contracts while amending the resolution to $60,000 and $75,000. Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex. Meeting agendas are available both online at www.piquaoh.org and as a hard copy at the complex. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

One student said the bottle could be used to drink out of, another said money could be kept inside and another student said the empty bottle could be used to hold pencils. “Yes,” Allen said. “But what is the next best thing to do with it?” The crowd of children responded in unison: “Recycle!” “That’s right,” Allen said. “And that’s just part of the magic of recycling!” Among other items he told the students could be recycled were glass and plastic and then set his sights on showing the children about recycling paper. He explained to the crowd of about 200 students how 67 million

pounds of paper are used each year across the world. “Seriously guys, take a look around and look at what you’re throwing away. Lots of it can be recycled,” Allen said. “Remember: It is called a landfill, but when there is too much garbage and no place to put it it becomes a land-full.”

Magician Continued from page 1 who helped the environmental magician make things disappear. Then, Allen pulled out a bottle of pop and asked if any of the students could make it disappear, bringing a raucous cheer of “yes.” But then, he asked the students something else. “Anybody can make the pop inside disappear,” Allen said. “Some people think all you need to do to make this bottle disappear is just to throw it in the garbage. … But it doesn’t matter how far you bury it, it’s always going to be there.” Allen then challenged the children to think up ways to reuse the bottle.

Covington to flush hydrants COVINGTON — Fire hydrants in the village of Covington will be flushed next week. The work will begin Monday and continue through Thursday.

Piqua crews to flush hydrants next week PIQUA — The Piqua Underground Utilities Department will begin the annual fire hydrant flushing program on Monday. Flushing will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The program may take up to five weeks to complete. The primary purpose of this program is to verify the proper operation of the city’s fire hydrants through periodic inspections, flow testing, and preventative maintenance. Secondarily, a proactive hydrant flushing program is the key to mitigating water quality related aesthetic problems by removing accumulated iron and manganese mineral deposits from the water line. Fire hydrant flushing may cause temporary inconveniences such as a reduction in water pressure and aesthetic issues such as discoloration of the drinking water. Discolored water poses no threat to the public’s health, but it will stain laundry and if consumed may have an unpleasant taste. Residents should be certain all discolored water is out of their home’s plumbing and hot water heater prior to laundering clothes or drinking. In the event that clothes become discolored due to the flushing operations, do not place the clothes in the dryer. A commercial fabric rust removal detergent is available from the Piqua Underground Utilities Department at 121 Bridge St. residents Although may experience some temporary inconveniences, the flushing program is necessary to maintain a good water supply for both firefighting and domestic purposes. Cooperation with this program is appreciated. Residents who continue to notice discolored water coming from their fixtures should flush the cold water side for approximately five minutes. If the discoloration persists, feel free to contact the department at 7782018 ext. 4. Questions or concerns regarding this program may be directed to Todd Brandenburg, underground utilities department superintendent at 778-2018 ext. 1.

with. “It’s a part of our community’s history,” the chief said. Piqua Public Library Director Jim Oda said he was happy the cannonball is back where it belongs. “It is a part of our history,” Oda said. Now the cannonball, and the section of tree it was found in, are back on display inside the library’s local history sec-

tion. Gary Meek, the local history coordinator, said it is nice to have the artifact back in the possession of the library. “We have reunited an artifact that is more than 150 years old, so we are happy to have it back,” Meek said. “The public has questioned repeatedly when we would be getting it back. It is now available to the public again for them to enjoy.”

Cannonball Continued from page 1 were operated at the historic Piqua farm. Jamison said it was fortunate the cannonball was recovered back in March when a local pastor acted as an emissary between the thief and the police. The culprit was never identified, but Jamison said he and library officials are just happy the piece of Piqua history is now back where it belongs. Jamison added the real priority was retrieving the cannonball, and he believes it was probably a juvenile or young adult that stole it to begin

Students to hear survival story SIDNEY — Students at Lehman Catholic High School will have a unique opportunity Monday to hear Felix Weil share his story of survival. Rescued from Nazi Germany through the Kindertransport program, Weil will share his life story with the students. Kindertransport is the informal name given to the rescue operation that saved approximately 10,000 Jewish children from extermination in the Nazi death camps. In response to Kristallnacht (“Night of Broken Glass”), the British Jewish Refugee Committee appealed to members of Parliament. The British government had just refused to allow 10,000 Jewish children to enter Palestine, but the atrocities in Germany and Austria, the untiring persistence of the refuge advocates, and philosemitic sympathy in some high places

swayed the government to permit an unspecified number of children under the age of 17 to enter the United Kingdom. “Here is a chance of taking the young generation of a great people — here is a chance of mitigating to some extend the terrible suffering of their parents and their friends,” British Foreign Minister Samuel Hoare told Parliament. After much debate, Parliament agreed to admit Jewish children on temporary travel documents, with the idea that they would rejoin their parents when the crisis in Germany was over. A 50 pound Sterling bond had to be posted for each child “to assure their ultimate resettlement.” The children were to travel in sealed trains. The first transport left on Dec. 1, 1938, less than one month after Kristallnacht; the last left on

BRADFORD — The Bradford School Board recognized students’ achievements, heard about State Report Card results and efforts to improve next year’s grade, and set a board workshop session during their regular meeting Wednesday. Since “advanced” test scores help the school district achieve a better grade from the state, this month’s Elementary Students of the Month were all of the fourth-graders who achieved “advanced” on both their reading and math OAA tests — Zachary Lee, Mercedes Smith and Kaitlynne Reineke. The high school students of the month were freshman who achieved “advanced” or “accelerated” on all parts of their eighth-grade OAA tests — Bailey Brewer, Sophia MacClennan and Justin Parke. Superintendent Jeff Patrick informed the board that 21 out of 26 indicators were met last year giving the school district an “Effective” rating again. According to Patrick the “value added” area, which is when the state rates each student against themselves to see if there is a year’s worth of improvements, is where Bradford needs work. Both principals and Patrick discussed some of the initiatives being taken this year to raise the value added score. According to Elementary Principal Judi York, Title 1 grant money is allowing the school to hire an additional tutor for fourth- and fifth-grade math twice a week plus after school. This is in addition to the reading intervention and a new math lab program. Also the third-, fourthand fifth-grade math teachers are holding “Homework Help” after school four days a week. Students can stay up to 30 minutes to get individual help from one of the math teachers. Emily Reinhard talked about the math department’s trial learning retention program, which “encouraged students to not forget what they learned last year.” All students going into grades 5–9 were given a 60-question, grade specific, math packet to be completed over the summer; 85 students returned it and were rewarded with an ice cream party. High school principal PJ Burgett is meeting individually with freshman and sophomores to help identify individual needs. Burgett has also encouraged all of the high school teachers to push their classes a little harder, and has been hearing good things from the students about the challenges. Both the principals and superintendent shared their goals for the next year with the board — copies can be obtained from the superintendents’ office. The board will be reviewing the state rule changes and going over the superintendent’s job description during a workshop set for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct 12. The next school board meeting will be 7 p.m. Oct. 19, in room 404.

September 1, 1939 — just two days before Great Britain’s entry into the war. A native of Frankfurt-amMain, Weil attended the prestigious Philanthropin School. After Kristallnacht, many Jewish families sent their children out of Germany via the Kindertransport to escape the coming catastrophe. At the age of eleven he found himself in England, still not realizing that he would never see his family again. In 1941, his parents and sister were sent to the Lodz ghetto in Poland, and his father died there. His mother and sister died later in concentration camps. In 1945, an aunt and uncle brought him to the United States, but he was almost immediately drafted and sent back to Germany to serve with the occupation forces in Frankfurt-amMain. After serving in the Army,

he graduated from Kent State University. He moved to Dayton after graduation and represented publishers of graphic arts works in both the United States and Europe. Now retired, he has been recognized by the U.S. Air Force Museum on countless occasions for his volunteer work. In appreciation for his work, the Museum awarded him the coveted Angel Award. Weil frequently conducts tours through Prejudice and Memory: A Holocaust Exhibit. He and his wife Frances have two children. Weil’s appearance is part of a monthly speaker series at the school that provides students the opportunity to meet individuals who help to bring their studies alive. Members of the public who may wish to hear Weil may contact the school for additional information.

Open Mike

It’s sure to be a weekend to remember The Usual Eccentric I Speak of the Devil t is homecoming weekend in Piqua. I find it difficult to believe that we have already reached the half-way point in this 2011 football season. Last night, the Indians played the annual homecoming football game against Fairmont. Before and during the game, there was the usual pageantry that goes with this mid-season tradition. Tonight, many Piqua students will attend a homecoming dance at the high school. It is fitting that tonight, in the downtown, Mainstreet Piqua is holding a Dancing in the Moonlight event. In addition to the dance, a cruise-in and stroll, either on foot or bicycle, will be held. The events dovetail nicely. Many of us consider homecoming to be strictly a high school event, but the tradition of homecoming actually was meant for alumni to return home and gather for a reunion of sorts. The meeting at a home football game, a homecoming game, was designed to give alumni a reason to come home, to return to their roots and rekindle friendships. Tonight’s dance in downtown Piqua is actually keeping with tradition of many college towns where homecoming is a weekend-long event. While our kids are at the high school homecoming dance, spending MIKE ULLERY their evening with a special someone or just Chief Photographer hanging out with friends, without even realizing it, they are participating in a very special relationship. They are spending time with friends whose names they will remember for the rest of their lives. As they dance and chat, little do they realize that in a few short months or years, many of them will never see each other again. Such is life as each class goes out into the world to begin their own lives, sometimes many miles from home. Homecoming offers the opportunity to return home. It gives us the chance to renew some of those old friendships and to reminisce about “the good old days.” If you missed last night’s homecoming game, I encourage you to head downtown tonight and take advantage of spend time with old friends … or maybe make some new ones. You can dance to the music we grew up with, from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, compliments of DJs Melinda Sillman and Duane Bachman. If you happen to be a high school student, heading off to the homecoming dance, take a good look at your classmates and cherish the time you spend with them. Make a conscious effort to make friends, not enemies. As the years pass by, you will realize that your classmates, all of them, are very special and that you will share that special bond of being a member of the Class of ….., for the rest of your life.

To the Editor: I’m looking out my back door to see if I have a money tree out there. This board of education must think people in Piqua have them. Their’s is already two or three levies (that) the taxpayers are paying for now, and they want two more. With few jobs, unemployment and the economy, the way it is people cannot afford it. A couple years ago some of these schools mentioned had roof repair and other maintenance done to them and now they aren’t good enough for these kids. A lot of money was spent on them. People on fixed income(s) and no job cannot afford this. Vote no and let them do with what they have like we do. —Carl Bubeck Piqua Editor’s Note: The Piqua Board of Education has placed a bond issue on the Nov. 8 ballot. Due to state mandates, the issue will show up on the ballot as two separate issues — a 4.42 mills, 30 years for funding the Local Share of a building project, which also will be partially funded by the Ohio School Facilities Commission, and a .050 mill, Additional, 23 years levy for classroom facilities, which will ensure the new schools have funding for upkeep and maintenance. Editorial roundup BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Excerpts of recent editorials of interest from Ohio newspapers: The Ironton Tribune Gov. John Kasich has formally kicked off his publicprivate partnership Jobs Ohio program here in southern Ohio but it remains to be seen whether or not the officials in Columbus realize the state doesn’t stop at Chillicothe. The components of the Jobs Ohio program was unveiled last week, the highlight of which is a $3.6 million grant program that will be specific for southeast Ohio. This will primarily be in the form of business loans, infrastructure grant and what is called “close the deal” funding. The Jobs Ohio program is funded solely through the states liquor tax revenues. This is good use of these dollars but we just hope that all the money doesn’t just go to the three C’s Columbus Cincinnati and Cleveland.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance, “Johnny,” and I have been together for four years and engaged for 16 months. Our wedding is in a few months. Until recently, Johnny didn’t have access to a car. That means for the past four years I have done all the driving, including visiting him at school two hours from my home every three to four weeks. It didn’t bother me because it was out of Johnny’s control; his money went to pay for his education. However, because he has a car now, I feel it’s reasonable to ask that he do most — though not all — of the driving. We live in the same town now and our homes are a mile apart. Johnny seems to take offense at the suggestion and acts as if I am “pun-

Advice ishing” him. I’m not, but I’m tired of driving all the time and would like a break now that he can give me one. What do you think? — AT THE WHEEL AGAINST MY WILL DEAR AT THE WHEEL: Johnny has grown accustomed to, and spoiled by, the chauffeur service you have provided. That he should assume responsibility for his share of the driving now that he has a car of his own is not an onerous request. Although you have been together four years, the two of you need to have a talk and work this out. And because you have been apart for the years he has been in school, I also recommend that you schedule premarital counseling before the wedding — in case there are any other “differences of opinion” that need to be worked out. DEAR ABBY: I’ll be 40 this year and I’m experiencing a midlife crisis. I have been married for 19 years, but realized several months ago that I haven’t been happy in years. I want to make some changes in my life, but I’m insecure about going it alone after so many years. I have been feeling a strong need to be on my own for a while to explore my passions and options. Any advice on how to explain this to my husband? — IN FLUX IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR IN FLUX: Before you throw away a marriage of nearly 20 years, please discuss this with a licensed therapist. Your therapist can help you decide what to do. While you may tell your husband this isn’t about him — it’s about you — he is sure to take the news very personally. And once you have separated in order to explore your passions and options, he will do the same, and it may not be possible to “go home” again.

NEW YORK (AP) — R.I.P. to R.E.M. The alternative rock group that shook up the music world with its experimental, edgy sound and then earned multiplatinum success and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced on its website Wednesday that it has “decided to call it a day as a band.” “A wise man once said — ‘the skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave.’ We built something extraordinary together. We did this thing. And now we’re going to walk away from it,” frontman Michael Stipe said in a statement on the website. “I hope our fans realize this wasn’t an easy decision; but all things must end, and we wanted to do it right, to do it our way.” The Grammy-winning group, now composed of Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills, released its debut album “Murmur” in 1983; at the time it was a quartet, with drummer Bill Berry. He left the group in 1997, two years after he suffered symptoms of an aneurysm onstage. The group got its start in Athens, Ga., coming out of the region’s flourishing indie-rock scene. The band was credited for helping launch college radio with songs such as “Radio Free Europe.” Later, the mainstream caught on, and R.E.M. became chart-topping rockers, selling millions of albums with hits like “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine),” ”Losing My Religion” and “Everybody Hurts.” Stipe, the band’s chief songwriter, crafted songs that were atypical of the standard rock fare. “Man on the Moon” was about the late comic Andy Kaufman. “Losing My Religion” was not about religion at all, but about trying to

The band’s videos also became staples on MTV in the 1990s, including the eye-catching “Losing My Religion” and the stark “Everybody Hurts,” which had Stipe walking through a highway traffic jam. R.E.M. became one of the more forceful voices of 1990s rock, and came along around the same time as another rock quartet — U2. But whereas U2 managed to maintain (and even increase) its popularity over the years, R.E.M. stumbled commercially in recent years, and their hits dwindled. The band continued to create music that resonated with critics and their core group of fans; the

group’s last album, “Collapse into Now,” was released in March and a greatest hits retrospective is in the works. But Mills said the band was running out of ideas. “During our last tour, and while making ‘Collapse Into Now’ and putting together this greatest hits retrospective, we started asking ourselves, ‘What next?’” he said. “Working through our music and memories from over three decades was a hell of a journey. We realized that these songs seemed to draw a natural line under the last 31 years of our working together.” Buck said the band parts as “great friends” and thanked fans for their support.

DEAR OVERWHELMED: Your depression is understandable. If you don’t draw the line now by telling your daughter you can’t handle babysitting three small children and this wasn’t part of the bargain, she may hand you a fourth or fifth to take care of. You should not sacrifice your retirement savings in order to finance your grandchildren’s education. There are other options than your paying for it. The responsibilities you have assumed were not yours in the first place. If you don’t insist your daughter and son-in-law stand on their own two feet, you will wind up old, broke, and living on Social Security with nothing to supplement it because your savings will be gone.

DEAR ABBY: Our daughter “Bree” has just announced that she’s pregnant with her third child. Her other children are 1 and 2. My wife and I are in our 60s and provide chi1d care three days a week, while the other grandma baby-sits for two days. We also pay for preschool and swimming lessons, as well as cook dinner for them on the days when we babysit. Bree and her husband do not earn enough money to support even one child. We know we’ll be expected to finance college for the children. When we agreed to help out, we asked them to promise they would not have more than two kids. This third one will cause us to use up our savings, increase our child care responsibilities and take us into our 80s to continue helping. Is it wrong to feel used? I am very depressed over this. — OVERWHELMED IN SAN DIEGO

Lehman Catholic recognized for 22nd consecutive year SIDNEY — The Ohio Academy of Science has announced the selection of 48 Ohio schools and 265 teachers to receive Governor’s Thomas Edison Awards for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education for their accomplishments during the 2010-2011 school year. Each teacher will receive special Governor’s Award certificates. For the 22nd consecutive year, Lehman Catholic High School is being recognized as one of the top schools in Ohio. Science teachers from Lehman Catholic who are receiving individual awards include Tracy Hall, Alan Schulze, and Sister Ginny Scherer. The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with The Office of the Governor and The Technology Division of The Ohio Department of Development to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student scientific and technological research and extend STEM education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities. The Technology Division of The Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by grants to The Ohio Academy of Science. “These schools are engaged in project-basic curricula, the central element of any STEM education program,” said Dr. Lynn E. Elfner, the Academy’s CEO. “Receiving the Governor’s Thomas Edison Award for Excellence sends a clear signal that these schools and teachers value student-originated, inquiry-based science and technology education as envisioned for the NextGeneration Science Education Standards being developed nationally. Whole new worlds of opportunities open up to students when they complete research or technological design projects.” To receive the award, schools must conduct a local science fair with 20 or more students, qualify one or more of these students for one of the Academy’s 15 district science days, have students participate in at least one more youth science opportunity beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, visits to museums, mentorship programs and extended field trips, and convince external reviewers from business and industry, government and academia how and to what extent the school’s program met the Academy’s definition of STEM education. “We go above and beyond the scope of the criteria for the award,” said

Ohio to explore natural gas use COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich wants the state to explore using compressed natural gas in its fleet of cars, snowplows and other government-owned vehicles. The first-term Republican says he’s also reaching out to governors in Pennsylvania, Michigan

and Indiana to see whether they would be interested in combining on a plan. Ohio has more than 12,000 vehicles in its fleet. Kasich says costs associated with the switch could be cut if there’s a larger fleet making the move to the alternative fuel.

Kasich told reporters Thursday he’s discussed the idea with Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, who he says was open to it. Kasich’s comments came after a two-day energy summit at Ohio State University. He plans to have an energy proposal for the state this spring.

Heartland of Piqua Gives Back September 8, 2011 might have been a rainy day, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of our local fire and police departments. Heartland of Piqua hosted their annual 9-11 Cookout on that day for our first responders. ‘The usual festivities of the cookout continued’ states Molly Grise, Admissions Director, ‘but the high point of the event was when one of our residents presented the Piqua Fire Department with an American Flag afghan she made’. Lorena Arnett approached the fire engine with a big smile on her face, so eager to give back what had taken her months to prepare specifically for this event. Arnett set the theme for the rest of the cookout, which included a grill giveaway to a worthy department, sponsored by the Home Depot. Miami Valley Hospitals Care Flight was also in attendance. The residents of Heartland joined our heroes in taking tours of their Mobile Intensive Care Unit. Heartland of Piqua specializes in post-hospital rehabilitation stays. Our caring team is dedicated to getting you back on your feet and back to your life! To set up a tour of our state-of-the-art therapy gymnasium, call Molly at 773-9346.

FORT ROWDY

It all started as ‘the Gathering Place’ It all started as “the Gathering Place” It became known simply as “the gathering place.” (follow by Fort Rowdy history) The History of Fort Rowdy In 1791, the Indians of the Northwest Territory achieved a tremendous victory over the army of General Arthur St. Clair on the upper branch of the Wabash (the site of Fort Recovery, Ohio). So elated were the Indians that the number and ferocity of their raids on the isolated settlers and outposts were greatly increased. The tribes felt that at last their dream of pushing the whites back across the Ohio River was within their grasp, but the dream was an illusion for they had no concept of the size of the white population in the eastern and southern settlements. The government, under the leadership of George Washington, realized that bold and swift action must be taken to quell the tribes or all hopes for settlement on the frontier would vanish. The task of pacification fell to an officer who had distinguished himself in the Revolution – his name was General “Mad” Anthony Wayne. General Wayne gathered and trained his army at Pittsburgh, Pa., and in 1792, he brought them to Fort Washington (Cincinnati). The plan was to establish additional forts and depots in the very heart of hostile territory. To prove the seriousness of their intent, these fortifications were to be erected on the trade routes, portages, and war trails of the Indians. In 1793, Wayne took his army out of Fort Washington and started north with the usual assortment of camp followers in tow. Camp followers have existed since the Roman legions and their reasons for adopting this life style were as diverse as the people themselves — wagoneers, stockmen, peddlers, wives, sweethearts, children, and tarts — they all cast their lot with the fate of the army. Wayne’s army moved north and along the Miami River, then on up the Stillwater River along the east bank until they came to what they considered to be a strategic location. Here they constructed a base camp which consisted of an earth and log breastwork on the limestone bluffs overlooking the river. After the fortification was completed, it was

Designed by Sylvia M. Warner of Covington christened Fort Rowdy. Local legend states that the ceremony concluded with the baptism of whiskey poured on the breastworks from the soldiers’ canteens and a lively celebration followed. It is said the name Rowdy wad derived from the behavior of the troops and camp followers; another less colorful explanation is that the site was named after on officer friend of General Wayne’s named Rowdy. Wayne and his troops soon moved west until they reached the spot General St. Clair had mentioned in his dispatches. Here they would build the largest stockaded fort in the Northwest Territory. Upon completion, the fort was named after an officer of the Revolution whom Wayne had greatly admired, Nathaniel Greene. This fort was named Greene Ville and the little creek Wayne had followed west from Fort Rowdy would become Greene Ville Creek. In 1794, Wayne clashed with the tribes in a couple of small but sharp fights, but these were only preliminaries compared to the Battle of Fallen Timbers. In this major engagement the Americans came away with a clear and decisive victory which eventually forced the tribes to sue for peace and ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville in 1795. Things were fairly quiet for the next few years. In the early 1800s several settlers came to this area and soon small clearings and cabins began to dot the forest. In the spring of 1812, with the outbreak of war, most of the settlers left their remote dwellings for the safety of the more populated areas in the east and the south. The call went out for men to form

a volunteer militia to serve for a period of four months. Since this was a civilian group, they were required to outfit themselves. There were no uniforms to speak of and no Government Issue arms. The men from the nearby settlements gathered at Staunton (near Troy). An election was held and George Buchanan was named Captain. He would be in charge of these frontier guards. They were mustered into service as the First Company, Second Regiment, Fifth Brigade, of the First Division of the Ohio Militia — a hefty title for only fifty men to live up to. Buchanan was directed to occupy the same area that Wayne had used in 1793, there to build a stockade and blockhouse to be used as a transfer point and depot, and to monitor the river traffic. When Captain Buchanan arrived and toured the area, he decided that a spot farther north was more suitable than the site of Wayne’s old camp so he put his troops to work building a blockhouse, watch tower, and the log curtains that would enclose the stockade. The stockade was located on a rise on the east bank of the river directly across from where the Greene Ville Creek entered the Stillwater River. The fort was named “Fort Buchanan,” but old habits die hard and people soon started calling it Fort Rowdy again which did not set well with Captain Buchanan. He was a religious man, with high standards, and proud of the service he and his men were performing and he didn’t want them to be remembered in history as “rowdies.” He took exception with army dispatches directed to Fort Rowdy and finally the army relented and the mail was sent to “Buchanan’s Blockhouse.” There was little or no military action that involved the fort directly and later Buchanan and his troops were summoned to Troy, then marched on up to Piqua to the signing of yet another peace treaty. There is no record of any military presence at the fort after that, but once peace had been restored the settlers used the stockade because of its central location. The settlers came there during times of emergency; they also used it as a stock pen, a market place, for social events, and held meetings there and for the most part it became known simply as “the gathering place.” History by R.L. Harmon

Herron named Grand Marshal of Fort Rowdy COVINGTON — The grand marshal for the 2011 Fort Rowdy Gathering is Jack Herron. Born and raised in the Covington area, Herron lives just west of Covington with his wife of 53 years, Charlotte. They have three sons, Scott and wife Dianne, Todd and Jack and daughter, the late Cammy Herron. They have six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. After attending Covington schools, Herron worked as a metallurgist for French Oil Company for 23 years, followed by working as an over-the-road trucker for a HERRON variety of businesses for 25 years. He also helped his father farm, and worked at Dayton Forge. One of his greatest achievements was a trip by horseback with seven friends. They left just west of St. Louis, Mo., and traveled to Mullinville, Kan., where they helped with wheat crops, planting more than 500 acres a day. They also traveled to Custer’s Battleground. The trip took a year of preparations, and Herron still has the old “highback” saddle he used on the trip. After the trip, Herron and his traveling buddies gave presentations to the local Kiwanis and churches. He also saved the “Old Highway Inn” formerly on the Eagles property, cutting it into sections and hauling it by hay wagon to his property. The move took many trips, and a large detour, as the new U.S. 36 bridge was under construction at the time. These days, Jack and Charlotte enjoy being “snowbirds” and traveling to the southwest every winter, where they have a mobile home. They look forward to seeing their winter “family.” Herron likes the small town feel of Covington, and is impressed the friendliness of the people. “You can’t beat ‘em.” His lives by the rule “you make your own nest.” He believes in getting out, and making new friends wherever you go. Herron “knows no stranger” and is proud of his many friends. He gives this advice to all: “Make friends. I am a believer in friends. Make as many as you can. All ages and types. Don’t be afraid to help one another. In 1993, Herron offered use of his east field for Fort Rowdy Gathering campers. The Gathering still uses his field for Encampments and camp parking.

HOROSCOPE Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011 In the coming months, you’re likely to do far better in ventures or endeavors where partners or co-workers play limited roles. It’s likely to be a case of too many hands spoiling the pot. Do as much as you can unassisted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You should take care not to place your trust or confidence in someone who is always ready to gossip about absent friends. You can take bets that you’ll be his or her next victim. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Allowing your goals to exceed your capabilities could turn your efforts into nothing but a huge, major frustration. Objectives you establish for yourself must be realistic and doable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — What starts as a casual discussion about an important subject could quickly become an argument with someone of a drastically different mind than you. Don’t take anything that seriously. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Unless there is parity right from the start, the greater burdens in a joint endeavor will fall on you. As soon as you figure this out, the chances for success are slim to none. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Just because your logic doesn’t perceive anything wrong doesn’t mean you shouldn’t follow your instincts, especially if they are consistently warning you that something smells fishy. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be orderly and take things a step at a time when it comes to your work. A failure to be methodical and systematic could deprive you of the success you are seeking. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t get in the middle when a couple of your friends disagree over something that is meaningless, even if you’re asked to mitigate the issue. Stay out of it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you hope to succeed, you need to guard against throwing in the towel just when victory is in sight. You need to stay the course and hang on to your towels if you ever hope to win. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re just asking for trouble if you take it upon yourself to correct friends or tell them things about themselves that they don’t want to hear. Play the game well by playing nice. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — There is every reason for you to expect to profit through traditional methods. Conversely, thinking you can gamble a little in hopes of making a killing could dash all possibilities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you have to deal with someone who always gives you a bad time, be smart and use an intermediary. It will probably be the only way you can avoid another confrontation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You can avoid being victimized by a skillful manipulator by keeping your ego firmly in check. Unless you do so, he or she can use you by appealing to your inflated view of yourself. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Deadline: September 28, 2011 We are an equal opportunity employer. Drug testing required.

Attitude adjustment In spite of the real estate roller coaster of the last few years, homeownership remains the bedrock of financial and familial security. Having a long-term investment that provides the satisfaction and pride of ownership beats just about anything else your can do with your savings. When the market exploded several years ago, the expectation of may consumers grew too high, too fast. Homes became more commodities than investments, and now markets and attitudes have been forced to realign. Conditions today make it an opportune time to secure your future. Home prices and interest rates are still low, and tax advantages are abundant. You just have to get past all the negativity in the media. All the bad news has drained consumer confidence, and frankly, you cannot underestimate the effect of intangibles like confidence and expectation on the real estate industry. Real estate transactions are unlike any other financial transaction. The demand and desire for homeownership doesn't expire like other flashy investment instruments. The inherent value of a stock can be calculated by a formula of company profits, earnings ratios, performance history, fund managers, and so on. However, a home's value is ultimately determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for it, and the security and well-being that owning your own 117 JEAN DR. home provides.
