Gilliams are ‘heart heroes’

BY ALISHA MCDARRIS RECORD HERALD WRITER ALISHA.MCDARRIS@GMAIL.COM TIPP CITY - Two local kids were recently surprised with the title of Heart Heroes by the American Heart Association (AHA).

Evan and Anna Gilliam, 15- and 11-year old siblings, were both born with heart defects, a grand improbability, according to medical professionals. But despite the rarity of their familial conditions, both are thriving and well and honorary ambassadors for the AHA. After encouragement from Anna’s gym teacher, Evan and Anna, along with heart survivors across the United States, applied to participate in the AHA’s Hoops for Heart program as Heart Heroes.

Amanda Vallo turns physical struggles into career focus

BY ANDREA NAY RECORD HERALD WRITER ANDREA @ ANDREANAY. COM On the snowy night of January 3, 1991, word spread through the close-knit Tipp City community that Tippecanoe sophomore Amanda Vallo had been seriously injured in a car accident on her way home from school.

She was a backseat passenger, and the vehicle was struck broadside.

After being flown by Care Flight to Miami Valley Hospital, Vallo, a basketball and volleyball letterwoman and straight-A student, learned she’d fractured her fifth and sixth vertebrae.

She could move only her left arm. Dr. John Bors of Miami Valley’s spinal cord injury team explained she had sustained an incomplete lesion. Because the cord was not severed all the way, he hoped there would be room for some level of recovery but could not pinpoint a longterm prognosis.

“Amanda was probably the best basketball player I ever coached,” Tom Rettig said at the time. “I don’t know if she’ll ever get to play again, but that’s not the important thing.”

TIPP CITY – In an unusual move, Tipp City Council at its Sept. 19 meeting began a public hearing with a motion to overturn two Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) decisions, precluding the possibility of anyone speaking pro or con regarding a Restoration Board case.

The BZA at its June 15 meeting upheld Zoning Administrator Matt Spring’s order for owners of the property at 305 W. Main St., Jeff and Berna Davis, to remove 11 pairs of vinyl shutters and some vinyl fencing.

The items were installed without the approval of the Restoration Board, which upholds the regulations of the Old Tippecanoe Restoration and Architectural District (historic district) in a designated section of downtown Tipp City.

At the same meeting, Spring also ordered removal of vinyl fencing next door at 309 W. Main St., a property owned by Amanda Fang. The fencing at that location also was installed without approval of the Restoration Board.

Both parties filed appeals of the BZA’s decision, which were to be heard at Monday night’s meeting.

As soon as the Sept. 19 hearing opened, Council President Patrick Hale made a motion to overrule both of the BZA decisions and grant variances in both cases to allow the shutters and fences to remain.

As soon as the motions were approved, Hale made another motion.

Preserving History Tippecanoe museum update TIPP CITY -The Society is saddened by the recent death of Chuck Cartwright. He was always a cheerful person at all of our gatherings. He was the fire builder/hot dog roaster at the Roundhouse every October. He was the ice cream maker every June when we gathered at the home he shared with Nancy for so many years.

He will be greatly missed.

The museum will be open Wednesdays 2-4, and Saturdays 10-4, through October. We do appreciate all the volunteers who keep the museum open during the good weather months. We want to be as available and helpful as possible to those who are interested and have questions about Tipp City and/or family.

We appreciate the donations that have come in towards the brick maintenance project on our museum building. The contractor feels they will be able to begin in the next few weeks. Due to the age of our roof and air conditioners, we feel we need to be as prepared as possible for a financial emergency. Which means all extra donations are greatly appreciated!

Karen Kuziensky, Ruth White and Gene Maddux spending lots of time preparing the “If Tipp Houses Could Talk…” special exhibit for the Winter’s Yuletide Gathering and Homes for the Holiday Tour coming up in November and December. It is shaping up into a very fun, interesting and professional presentation that I think all will enjoy.

We have been asked if we have information about an Indian settlement in the area of Evanston Rd. and Hyatt St. If you have any information about this or other questions about the Society activities, call Peg at 667-3977 or Susie at 698-6798.

Milton panel recalls Garland WEST MILTON - Tuesday, Sept. 13, the taping topic was Garland. Each panelist shared their many memories of growing up in the tiny village of Garland, located at the intersection of Frederick-Garland Rd. and Rangeline Rd., southwest of Milton.

We learned from Rex Warner that it was originally named Culvertson, then Fizzleville, then renamed Garland in 1891. There was a post office in the general store until 1906 when Union took over their mail delivery.

The general store was started in the early 1880’s. Rex’s parents eventually purchased the store/gas station and lived in the attached house.

They carried a wide variety of merchandise from home needs to farm needs. They sold Sohio gas for as low as 15 cents per gallon, and white gas

(not kerosene). His father died when he was three. His mother and grandfather continued to run the store until 1942. His mother’s health issues and war rationing caused her to close the store.

In 1967 a car demolished the house/store structure and it was torn down two years later. It sat on the northeast corner of the intersection. Kenny Kauffman still lives in the house, on the family farm, where he was born in 1925. He was the youngest of twelve children. His dad owned the acre of ground where the #13 School sat. The school was razed in 1941 and his dad built a house on the property using the bricks from the school. Kenny was the school custodian oiling floors, washing windows, keeping the school warm in winter, etc. He was paid $15.00 a month.

Lois Scheaffer lived on the family farm about a mile and a half north of Garland. The children all worked hard on the farm. Among other things, they raised tomatoes and strawberries for the Farmer’s Market in Dayton. Tomatoes also went to the cannery in Laura. Her school memories are of memorizing and ciphering - especially how good Mary Ann Warner was at ciphering. A Coca Cola salesman used to stop by the school and share a nature lesson from his many travels in other countries. He would also bring them gifts of pencils and tablets, etc.

Due to being an only child, Glenna Royer Dohner had many farm chores to do: kindling to the house, milking, feeding, working in the fields. Her grandfather paid her a penny for every tobacco worm she found and crushed on the ground. They used the common phone that was located in the general store, mostly to call the doctor when needed. She was glad when she was finally old enough to walk to the general store and visit with the other kids.

Evelyn Mergler talked about her five brothers and sisters and the schools they attended. There were several one room schools for various grades. In 1935-36 they all attended Milton Schools, went back to their own schools for a time, then in 1939 consolidated for good. She recalled the penny candy at the store and the many good times they had there.

Jesse Cassell said it should have been named Needmore - because they needed more houses! He told a story about his brother and Dr. Besecker, who had a Cider Mill just west of Garland. All six surviving children of his family rode the school bus at the same time. It was a Model T Ford bus. Evelyn Mergler is Jesse’s sister.

At one time Garland had the largest circulating library in Miami County. During a fire in 1900 all the books were burned except those out on loan. It was not started up again.

There was a mechanic’s garage and a blacksmith shop. There was also a community building on the south side of the Garland Road. The Happy Go Lucky Club met there. Churches in the area held square dances.

There were yearly Halloween parties. They also held monthly suppers there featuring oysters and fish frys.

EPA commends West Milton’s stormwater management plan

BY MARILYN MCCONAHAY RECORD HERALD WRITER MP. MCCONAHAY 5@ GMAIL . COM WEST MILTON – At the Sept. 13 council meeting, street supervisor and acting city manager Ben Herron reported that West Milton had received an informal commendation on the way the village implements its storm water plan.

During a recent telephone conversation, Herron said Ohio District Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representative Chris Cotton praised the village for its implementation of its stormwater management plan.

“It’s more like a comment than a commendation, but we are proud of it,” Herron said.

Several years ago, the village needed to update its approach to handling stormwater.

“In early 2003, we enacted our storm water management plan that meets all the EPA’s guidelines.”

Herron said.

He said the village’s former plan was difficult to utilize.

“In that format, everyone had to use rows and columns. It just was not user-friendly,” Herron said. “We asked the Ohio EPA if we could change the format and they let us go to using paragraph form for our annual reports as long as we met all their criteria. We pledged to follow all their practices.”

But what the EPA representative said impressed him was the way

West Milton’s practices exceed what is required by regulations.

“We were meeting the plan’s goals, but we’re going above and beyond.

We put these things in the report, but we don’t necessarily have to,” Herron said.

For instance, he said, the crews place sandbags in front of the village’s salt supplies.

“If it rains, the water can wash out some of the salt. The sandbags keep it from leaking out,” he said. “We’re also cutting back on salt use, too. We only use what we really need to use, and there’s less that could get into the catch basins.”

Another above-and-beyond practice is the manner in which salt trucks are cleaned out after a use.

“When we wash our trucks out, we put pads around our catch basins to keep any harmful residue from entering the water system. It’s a matter of housekeeping,” Herron said.

Illegal dumping into catch basins can put harmful substances into the water system as well.

“We vacuum our catch basins once a year to remove debris and look for hydrocarbons or residues that may have gotten in there due to illegal dumping. We keep an eye on it,” he said. “Some cities do it once a year and there are some that don’t do it at all.”

“These things are not in the plan, but the EPA indicated we’re not just doing what’s required, we go the extra mile,” he said.

Council - continued from page 1 that “many” homes had been approved for vinyl shutters. The Davises presented their findings to the Restoration Board at its July 20 meeting.

Following the council meeting this week, Hale said the decision to grant the variance and review the code came about after his meeting with City Manager Jon Crusey and Law Director Joe Moore the preceding Tuesday.

“We talked about some decisions the Restoration Board had made in the past. We felt it was time to update the City Code regarding the Restoration Board,” Hale said.

Hale said that there was a concern that there were inconsistencies in decisions made in the past.

“There have been inconsistencies in the way the code was applied in the past. Also, there may be newer materials being used in the last several years that could be used now,” Hale said. ”Staff will read it and come to council with recommendations and we’ll decide what to with it,” Hale said.

He said he doesn’t know when the review will be completed.

“But, we could begin immediately, now that we‘ve made the decision to do it,” Hale said.

Hale said he called every member of the council prior to the meeting to inform them about the decision.

He also said that Restoration Board Chairman Mark Mabelitini had not been informed.

“Mr. Mabelitini found out tonight,” he said.

Mabelitini said after the meeting that although he had not heard anything about Council’s decision prior to the meeting, he sees the need for a code review.

“The last review was in May of 2005. I think the code should be reviewed regularly and kept current. There could be changes in philosophy of restoration and preservation. There could have been changes to a house that may have become part of its history,” Mabelitini said. “We need to keep current with what’s going on in other cities with other restoration boards.”

“I make a motion that we review the city’s code regarding the Restoration Board and suggest revisions to the Restoration Board’s guidelines,” he said.

Both motions were approved unanimously by Council.

“It was a shock - I was ready to speak up,” said Berna.

While she didn’t expect the quick vote, she did expect the final outcome.

“We thought it might happen because they can’t just pick and choose and because we did our homework,” Berna said.

Berna said that after she and her husband had moved into his mother’s house in August of 2010, they weren’t aware of the regulations governing homes in the historic district.

Soon after they installed the shutters in April of this year, the Davises received a letter from the Restoration Board saying they were in violation of the board’s code and must remove the shutters.

That prompted them to scout other homes in the district. They ended up taking photos of 12 other homes that have vinyl shutters. Berna said she also went to the city government center, where a search of 35 years of Restoration Board minutes revealed

Vallo - continued from page 1 Vallo said Coach Rettig was literally there every step of the way.

“I remember he never made it about basketball or getting back on the court again,” she recalled warmly. “He would come in and hold my hand and tell me we were going to get through this. No rah rah speeches or yelling – just the caring was what mattered.”

Her parents, Steve Vallo of Tipp City and Sue Starr of Vandalia, also remember a tremendous outpouring of support.

“This included family and friends, of course, but also many, many folks from the community,” Starr noted. “It amazed me that even those who only knew Amanda through her volleyball and basketball success experienced a sense of loss and sent notes, cards, and offers of help. The expressions of concern and desire to help are something I’ll never forget. Never!”

Vallo would need to start at the beginning as she embarked on a path toward recovery. She told the Dayton Daily News, “The big thing is learning how to walk and do things like writing again so I can do schoolwork.”

And she did learn to walk and write again, with gusto.

Three months after the accident, Vallo stood up, then walked six feet. On Easter weekend, she slept overnight at home. By the beginning of her junior year, she attended classes full time. In the fall of 1992, she was crowned Homecoming Queen.

Finally, 28 months after that fateful ride home from school, Amanda Vallo crossed the stage on her own to receive her high school diploma and speak as co-Valedictorian of the Class of 1993.

“Graduation was my first ‘public walking’ event and one of the most heartwarming experiences,” she recalled, “When I went up to the podium to give my speech, everyone kept clapping, and clapping, and clapping. It really helped my recovery to have that warm encouragement and support.”

Was it better than hitting the winning basket and hearing the fans go wild?

“Almost,” Vallo said with a grin.

She also credits the dedication of her Tippecanoe High School teachers with keeping her on track both academically and emotionally.

“Mr. Rogers kind of spearheaded the effort, often showing up with a stack of assignments and a large dry erase board,” remembered Vallo. “Much like he might diagram a volleyball play, he’d balance chemistry equations.”

Vallo said her Spanish teacher, Señor Ferrell, would stop at the hospital on his way home and lift her spirits with his sense of humor.

“I always appreciated that,” she said. “He’d say ‘Hola, Yolanda (my Spanish name)! Ready to get started?’ His infectious nature just made me want to try.”

According to Vallo, her high school coursework played a significant role in her decision to pursue a career in the sciences.

“Mr. Christian’s psychology class at Tipp definitely influenced me,” she says. “His level of teaching the subject made it seem legit.”

In 1998, Vallo crossed the stage again to collect her BA in psychology from Wright State University.

As a WSU student, she volunteered at Miami Valley Hospital on the same rehab floor where she’d been a patient. Two years later, she added an MS in counseling psychology from The Ohio State University, then began post-master’s doctoral work at Dodd Hall, OSU’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Hospital.

“It was at Dodd that I first realized how impor-

tant it was for me to get involved counseling families and those with new injuries.

The more experience I had listening to people and what their needs were, the more I wanted to help them connect and build a sense of positive Photo courtesy of Tippecano High School purpose.”

Amanda Vallo addresses the When her Tippecanoe High School Class spinal cord in- of 1993 as co-Valedictorian. jury forced Vallo to deemphasize her own involvement in sports for the first time, she became more aware of her connections with others.

“I hope this injury and the experience has made me a better person in that I try to listen to people and hear what they aren’t saying,” she explains.

“It’s like the athlete in me is still always watching for those non-verbals. Just like you ‘read the defense,’ you need to have a certain pace and timing when doing things like asking questions or going into areas where people are hurting.”

After working as an assistant career developer at Functional Training Services in Columbus, Vallo relocated to Overland Park, Kansas, where she now works with The Whole Person agency as a mental health advocate. The non-profit organization provides services to people with physical and or mental disabilities.

“The goal is to help our consumers identify their most important goals and then to work with them to address any significant barriers or needs,” explained Vallo. “I’m just waiting for my first young woman with the goal ‘to shoot hoops again’ to roll through the door. Not sure who’s going to be more excited. We may have to start with wind-sprints up and down the hall!”

Vallo is a certified personal trainer as well, and she demonstrates healthy exercise, discusses the value of being fit, and serves as a role model. Disciplined at the gym, she works out five to six days a week and has seen significant improvements in her own physical and mental health as a result.

So how does Vallo get around these days?

“I walk about 60% of the time and wheel the rest,” she said, “Places like Target, the mall, the airport, or a stadium involve a lot of walking. The chair lets me focus on getting where I need to be quickly and without falling.”

Although Vallo has checked off dozens of feats in recovery, she has more dreams.

“The athletic spirit never left me, so it has to go somewhere,” said Vallo, “I like to challenge myself with new adventures. I tried wheelchair sports like tennis just for fun, but wasn’t good at it. I don’t have good chair skills, which you need to be elite in that circuit. Instead, I’ve enjoyed trying out open water kayaking and my favorite – water skiing.”

Another goal? “I’d like to zip line someplace spectacular like New Zealand,” she said with hope.

Freebird was the chosen song for Tippecanoe High School’s Class of 1993. What a fitting title for the young lady it deemed Most Likely to Be Remembered. She has absolutely found her wings.

BETHEL TOWNSHIP - State Route 202 will be closed between U.S. 40 and Ross Road in Miami County for Sept. 27-28. This road closure is due to a culvert replacement in that area.

The official detour is: US 40, SR 201, SR 571.

Heart - cont. from pg. 1 Evan and Anna filled out questionnaires and wrote essays what they went through with surgeries and doctors visits, the experience, and growing up with a heart condition. They were surprised to find out they had been selected to represent kids with heart conditions from all over the country.

Hoops for Heart is a program similar to the more famous Jump for Heart program often implemented at elementary schools. Hoops for Heart allows high school students to take part in fundraising for AHA, too, but with basketball instead of jump rope.

Tipp City Schools does not yet take part in the Hoops for Heart fundraiser, but Evan and Anna’s mom, Emily Gilliam, hopes that will change.

Because two of their students are highly involved, she wants this to be the first year that Tippecanoe hosts a basketball game where a percentage of the ticket sales go to AHA. “These programs are so important to have,” Emily stated. “The most important thing is to find a cure and a reason why so many kids are born with heart defects.”

Emily would know the importance of uncovering the truth. Both her children had to undergo an atrioventricular canal repair: Evan after only nine months and Anna after two years. But even after all that they’ve been through, they’re kids just like any others.

“They’re normal kids. They lead pretty normal lives. They’re very social and good students,” Gilliam explained.

Evan loves basketball and baseball. He’s involved with his youth group at Ginghamsburg and, like any teenage boy, spends plenty of time with friends. The only drawback to his heart condition is that he had to give up football. But he has still kept a positive outlook.

“My heart condition hasn’t held me back,” Evan commented.

Anna keeps busy and active with cheerleading, gymnastics, and volleyball and doesn’t see herself as any different from anyone else – with the exception of a scar on her chest.

“They’re very active kids and enjoy life,” Emily said.

But as limitless as her children are, she admits there have been struggles. It was hard for Evan when he discovered he’d have to give up football, and Emily remembers how difficult it was hearing that her kids needed surgery. But that’s why she, Evan and Anna believe in the efforts of AHA and hope that Hoops for Heart will become a regular event at Tipp City Schools.

“I think it helps out a lot of kids; it’d be a great way for our city to be involved,” Evan encouraged.

Plus, Evan and Anna get a little taste of fame with their new positions as Ambassadors.

Students across the nation who participates in either the Jump for Heart or Hoops for Heart program will get a thank you card with Evan and Anna’s photo and bio on it thanking them for their participation.

Council approves tax rate, appropriates budget

BY MARILYN MCCONAHAY RECORD HERALD WRITER MP. MCCONAHAY 5@ GMAIL . COM TIPP CITY – On Monday night, City Council approved a resolution that accepts the 2012 property tax rate approved for the city by the Miami County Budget Commission. The authorized “inside” millage property tax rate is 1.4 mills.

City Manager Jon Crusey explained that inside millage refers to the 10-mill property tax limitation that can be established without voter approval.

“Various taxing units may seek to levy taxes

on the same property, but the total amount of un-voted taxes may not exceed 10 mills,” Crusey said. “Inside millage is not rolled back like voter-approved millage to account for increase in property valuation.”

This is a standard rate and is the same as 2011’s rate. Crusey said the revenue source will generate an estimated $326,165 in fiscal year 2011 revenues.

“The city receives approximately $0.03 of every property tax dollar collected,” he said.

Council also heard the first reading of an ordinance that modifies the operating budget by

amending the 2011 appropriations, decreasing them by $2,856,079 overall. That decrease is accomplished in the following way: a $109,350 increase in the general fund, an increase in the street fund of $5,000, an increase of $3,400 in the municipal road fund, a $21,671 increase in the Clean Ohio Grant Fund, a $3,000,000 decrease in the electric fund, an increase of $3,000 in the water fund and a $1,500 increase in the sewer fund.

The decrease for the electric fund represents a reduction of $2,500,000 for the 69KV Loop Project along County Road

25A. “A portion of that project will be undertaken in 2012 as part of the County Road 25A reconstruction project,” Crusey said.

The other $500,000 reduction is for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) grant portion of the downtown traffic signal replacement project because the project didn’t qualify for ODOT funding.

The intersections did not receive a high enough amount of traffic for ODOT’s requirements.

The city can elect to use its own funds and complete the entire project. That issue will be decided at a future council meeting.

During the comment portion of the meeting, president Council Patrick Hale praised city staff for their actions during the Labor Day weekend windstorm, in which straight line winds caused widespread property damage and downed trees throughout the city.

“The city did a super job on the damage from

the microburst, or windstorm,” he said.

Crusey echoed Hale’s comments.

“Each and every department responded – EMS, the street department – thanks to all of our departments and all of our employees that responded,” Crusey said. “We’re still cleaning up.”

Beggars Night in the city this year was set for Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The council approved a motion to go along with the date choice of Miami County Council.

They said it…

“My heart condition hasn’t held me back.”

Evan Gillam, a Tipp City teenager with a heart defect “Each and every department responded.”

Time may change us, but memories remain “And we talked about the old times, and we drank ourselves some beer - still crazy after all these years.

Oh, still crazy after all these years.”

Paul Simon

I

know we can’t go back in time. I don’t really want to. Except I got the chance to do just that this past week…and my recent visit of my past life has been wonderful.

I reconnected with friends that I went to kindergarten with.

I hung out with my old high school buddies.

I re-met some kids I didn’t really know in school but found I have a lot in common and that I really hope to keep that bond.

I rediscovered old friends that I have lost touch Times with, but now hope remain in Community News contact with.

Columnist And I felt youthful, once again.

These are not crows feet — they are laugh lines. These are not age spots — they are freckles. My hair is not gray —- it is really light blonde.

Denial? No, not at all. Feeling youthful? Yes, indeedy.

Being with friends from my past helped push that youthful feeling to the forefront of my mind.

I mean after all, I am a grandma.

But for the past few days, I’ve gotten a chance to experience memory lane at it’s finest. And it’s a pretty nice street to be on.

Again, I wouldn’t change anything, even if some of the memories are painful. I choose not to dwell on the “what ifs” since I know that is a total waste of time.

I am just truly enjoying the “right now.” So being in the “right now” with people from my way back past has been fun, refreshing and another great memory to add to the collection.

I grew up in Southern California and went to school with hippies, surfers and jocks. We had actors, singers and famous ball players. Oh, and then there were the really smart kids that are somewhere out there inventing the next Facebook. I didn’t know it was different than other schools — that we really weren‘t typical…I just thought it was wonderful.

We never ate inside, we swam all year long, we hardly ever had to wear coats and we listened to the Beach Boys on our 8 track tapes. We rode our bikes to the beach and didn’t have to go to another spot for Spring Break. Of course we had our sects…all schools do (please read the spelling of that word correctly). We had our groups. Our cliques.

So my little mini-reunion from high school was a blast from the past. A party at the beach with some really nice, good, fun people.

It was also a get together that didn’t involve cliques. We didn’t differentiate what groups we were in 34 years ago. It really didn’t matter. Once everyone got there and we mingled, we didn’t stop having fun all night. We closed the place down. Not bad for the “older” generation. My kids should be so energetic.

Reality comes back way too soon. But I really hope the memories will continue in all of us. A wonderful Peter Pan moment that left us feeling like we were teens again — laughing, talking, flirting and casting our cares away for a few short hours in time.

Thank you to my old friends that are now new friends — we are still crazy after all these years.

Is the luster gone forever?

W

hen those of us critical of Dayton in recent years address local problems, it typically involves crime and job losses.

But the passing of a giant in Dayton’s business and sports scene brought to mind another puzzle about the “Gem” City.

Eighty-six year old Robert Cyrus “Cy” Laughter died earlier this month.

For those of you under the age of 30 that name might not mean much.

But to the rest of us, on the other side of that 30-year marker who have been Miami Valley residents much of that time, his name is synonymous with industry and superstars.

Laughter headed the Laughter Corporation, but is perhaps best remembered for his Bogie Busters Golf Tournament, running from 1967-1991, which allowed the people of this area to witness, and often rub shoulders with, politicians and movie stars who showed up when Cy called them to play a few rounds of golf for charity.

President Gerald Ford, Vice President (and future President) George H.W. Bush, Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, Bob Hope, Henry Ford II, and golf legend Byron Nelson wore Bogie Buster jackets as did baseball star Johnny Bench, Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, and Gene Cernan, the last man on the moon (at the same event one year), Ray Bolger (the Scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz”) and the first Dallas Cowboys head coach, Tom Landry.

The list goes on and on.

I’m not sure where else, other than perhaps a Presidential inauguration, you could gather such as eclectic group of superstars.

Mike Scinto Times Community News

Columnist

And they all answered the invitation from Cy Laughter; and Dayton was the real winner.

I recall, when hosting my daily TV show on WHIO (Channel 7) that one day we had surprise guests show up; Cy Laughter accompanied by a sports legend who I had always wanted to meet face-to-face, Otto Graham.

Graham still holds many club and NFL records from his years with the Cleveland Browns.

You may not know that even while he played in the NFL, he also played professional basketball for a short time as well.

I got to spend the next hour with these two giants. What memories!

And Cy was on a first name basis with Graham, as with almost every other notable living legend.

Cy will be sorely missed!

That stirred up my fond memories of another star-grabber, the late John Kenley.

From 1940-1995 the Kenley Players toured cities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Dayton being one of the stops in the Buckeye State.

Talk about a who’s who of summer stock from TV and movies!

Daytonians watched, met and sometimes ate with the

likes of Henry Winkler, Paul Lynde, Jayne Mansfield, Bobby Rydell, Merv Griffin, Rock Hudson, Robby Benson, John Raitt, Ethel Merman and Broadway legend Tommy Tune.

Other notables were former Jets quarterback Joe Namath, Robert Urich, Allen Ludden and Betty White, The Smothers Brothers and Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner.

The list goes on and on.

These were the names I could recall, most of whom I had the pleasure of hosting on my radio show during their visit.

Restaurants like Marion’s Piazza (where you can still see wall photos of many of these huge stars) had the honor of serving them in their establishments.

Now, other than the occasional performer who graces the stage at the gorgeous Fraze Pavilion, when do Dayton area residents get to rub elbows with true legends?

Why are we not a stop along the entertainment trail any longer?

Is it because we have lost these two great men who could literally pick up a phone and arrange it, or has this area simply lost its luster?

Whatever the reason, today’s generations don’t know what they’re missing to have lived in Dayton, Ohio during the era when stars from all genres actually WANTED to hang a Dayton luggage tag on their travel destinations.

Books that filled my life with joy B ooks have always been a passion of mine. I started reading on my own pretty early, and am rarely without a book in my hands, purse, or on a nearby table.

I have a number of favorite authors and collections of their works. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of books that I have enjoyed, but I have selected some that were important to me at different times in my life.

When I was a preschooler, my mom and grandmother read aloud to me from The Big Red Story Book. I loved every story in that book.

Years later, I read from that book to our son. The stories and poems in the Big Red Story Book gave me my first glimpses into the world of words.

Here was a poem where a dog grew so fat he couldn’t get all the way into his doghouse to escape the rain.

Here was a story about a lonely woman whose mailman gave her a kitten.

Here was a story about a little monkey whose tail wasn’t curled.

If ever a book spawned a love of reading, this was it.

In elementary school, I read

Susie’s Snippets Sue Curtis,

TC N Columnist

Ellen Tibbits. I probably read about Ellen and her friend Austine a hundred times that year. This is the story in which I learned that friends could fight and be mean and then make up. This was an important lesson for me.

In junior high school, I read The Caine Mutiny, a story meant for adults but which had a powerful and life-lasting lesson for me.

In a nutshell, one character causes many others to commit mutiny, and then stands back while they are court martialed.

It was a lesson that I saw in real life many times over the next decades.

Often in human interaction there is a “pot-stirrer” who always seems to come out unscathed.

Also that year, To Kill a

Mockingbird made my hit list.

This story is about integrity and doing the right thing, and was especially meaningful to me as it included both adults and children.

Big Trouble is a guilty pleasure. It simply is outrageous in both the plot and the humor. I laugh out loud every time I read it. Laughter is always a good tonic.

A couple years ago I read Finger Lickin’ Fifteen, which is actually the 15th book in a series that is now at 17.

However, this book highlights characters in situations that are simply hilarious.

I listened to it on tape, read it several more times, then read it to my husband on a vacation trip. He concurred that it’s delightful.

It taught me to realize that I grow attached to the “sidekicks” in any story line.

This year, One Simple Act made my favorite list. One of the few non-fiction books to make my list, it is a compelling work. It is really a blueprint for living, at least in my opinion.

There you have it, from birth to middle age, my list of favorite books.

What’s your favorite? Email me at suecurtis9@gmail.com.

Please ignore Rick Perry’s hypocrisy

I

t’s bedtime, children. Get on your jammies, scootch under the covers, and I’ll tell you a “Perry Tale.”

In this one, Prince Rick is trying to make it to the big White House in Washington.

It’s a strange quest, because he calls the capital city “a seedy place,” and he tells the commoners in the land that he hates — nay, deeply loathes — the very government that he wants to head.

With his tea party hat carefully positioned atop his bounteous crop of perfectly coifed hair, Prince Rick warns the commoners that big government is bad, bad, bad — because it intrudes into their lives, forcing things like Social Security and Medicare on them.

Strangely, this prancing prince of privilege would not

Jim Hightower Guest Columnist be where he is without the steady “intrusion” of big government into his life.

From elementary school through college, his education was paid for by local, state, and federal taxpayers.

Also, as cotton farmers, he and his family were supported with thousands of dollars in crop subsidies from the pockets of national taxpayers.

Then, after a brief stint as a government-paid Air Force transport pilot, the perfidious prince hit the mother lode of government largesse: political office, where he’s been for 27 years and counting.

In addition to drawing more than a quarter-century’s worth of monthly paychecks from Texas taxpayers, Prince Rick also receives full health coverage and a generous pension from the state, plus $10,000 a month to rent a luxury home, a flock of personal aides, and even a state-paid subscription to Food & Wine magazine.

So, children, the moral of this Perry Tale is to ignore the prince’s hypocritical hype.

Instead, look at what he actually does. When he says he intends to make government “as inconsequential as possible,” he means in your life, not his.

his area will soon be getting a taste of Ireland. But not the Boondock Saints, Flogging Molly, grab-me-a-pint Ireland.

This taste celebrates the beauty and harmony of the land, through a red-haired lass named Orla Fallon. She is on a concert tour in the U.S., with a stop in Dayton, to celebrate the release of her live concert DVD and CD, “My Land.”

“These songs are the story of my life,” Fallon said of the concert, “It was truly a labor of love.”

Songs range from the lullaby “Morning has Broken,” which Fallon sung when she was little, to Joni Mitchell’s lilting “Both Sides Now,” to traditional folk songs like “Spanish Lady.” She collaborated with such artists as Damien Dempsey, Tommy Fleming, and the Dublin Gospel Choir to complete the project. The concert itself was taped at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Dublin, and the DVD includes film from the famous Irish locations Cliffs of Moher, Slea Head, and Portaferry.

Humble beginnings Fallon grew up in a small village in County Wicklow on the southeast coast of Ireland. She lived on a farm with her four siblings among cattle, sheep, ponies, and a pet lamb.

There was always a lot of music in her house.

Her family listened to such groups as the Dubliners (they’re to Irish folk music what the band Alabama is to country), which actually made an appearance with Fallon at the “My Land” concert.

“It was a very innocent, lovely time,” Fallon said of growing up.

Even now, her family is very important to her and encouraging of her music.

“They’re fantastic – really, really supportive,” she said.

Although Fallon originally went to school to study law (she called herself the “singing lawyer”), she found she couldn’t really be creative in that field. So she followed her passion for music.

Fallon’s opportunity to turn singing into a successful career came when she was invited to be a part of the then-starting group Celtic Woman in 2004. Fallon performed with the female ensemble for four years, made several albums with them,

and traveled all around the world.

“It was a great time, and I met some amazing people,” she said, “I never dreamed it would be so successful.”

Whether performing with the Woman or now on her own, Fallon accompanies much of her vocal stylings with the harp. She first learned to play it in boarding school.

“It’s a mystical, magical instrument,” she said.

Fallon’s greatest love, though, is being able to perform on stage.

“It’s a privileged position, and a great honor,” she said, “People tell me my music really moves them.”

Fallon has performed all over the globe, from Japan to Europe to South Africa. Even though every audience is different, there is a uniting quality among them.

“People always just love the music,” she said, “Music transcends all boundaries, no matter where you are.” Especially her signature finale, a rip-rousing Irish traditional folk song titled “I’ll Tell Me Ma.” “The audience goes wild,” she laughed.

Orla will be at the Dayton Art Institute on October 2 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $35.

Faith in Pictures Ginghamsburg says ‘ole’!

Going wild for Uganda Contributed photo

TIPP CITY - Zion Lutheran Church recently held its summer Vacation Bible School, with the theme “Pandamania,” to teach the students how God is wild about everyone. The children worked as teams to hold a friendly competition to raise money for both the Uganda Children’s’ Rescue (UCR), founded by Tipp City resident Fred Allen, and for Olivia, a child at the orphanage who is sponsored by the church’s Women of Faith group. The children brought in change, which was weighed each day on a homemade balance to show how each team was doing. They raised a total of $215 and the Women of Faith group matched the amount, making it possible to donate $430 to the UCR.

Devils drain Indian Lake, 42-6 LEWISTOWN -- The Central Buckeye Conference is officially on notice.

The Tippecanoe Red Devils seem to be hitting their stride.

Tippecanoe (4-0) didn’t bother with any late heroics or goalline stands Friday night as they have in their first three games. Instead putting together an all-around solid performance and blowing out Indian Lake 42-6 in CBC crossover play.

Jacob Hall — who had a monstrous night with 223 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries — broke touchdown runs of 37 and 40 yards to put the Devils on top early.

After Indian Lake got on the board to cut the lead to eight, quarterback Ben Hughes threw the first of two touchdown passes, hitting Michael Collett on a 12-yarder to make it 21-6 at the half — and the Devils cruised from there.

Tipp opened the second half scoring wtih Jennifer Ervin’s 27-yard touchdown pass from Hughes before Hall tacked on his third TD of the game, this on a 17-yard run.

The final touchdown came on a 1-yard run by Georgie Heddlestonq that finished the scoring at 426.

Cameron Johnson added 48 yards on eight carries for the Devils while Hughes finished 11 for 17 for 137 yards and added a 28-yard touchdown pass to Jared Ervin.

“We had some bright spots and some improvement across the board,” Tippecanoe coach Charlie Burgbacher said. “Jacob had five carries of 10 or more yards, and those numbers pile up pretty quick.

“That’s an indicator that things are being done up front and that kids are starting to trust their blockers. We still continue to improve.”

Indian Lake quarterback Tyler McCullough hit just seven of 16 passes for 68 yards while the Laker ground attack was led by Christ Teague’s 70 yardso n nine carries.

The Red Devils out gained the Lakers 449-245 in the game, running to a 312-177 advantage on the ground.

Tippecanoe hosts Ben Logan in its final crossover game tonight (September 23) before beginning divisional play.

Milton-Union’s Clay Minton drags defenders with him for extra yards Friday against Bellbrook.

M-U grounds Golden Eagles, 17-3 WEST MILTON — Head Coach Bret Pearce talked openly about the hurt that his team felt after last week’s one point home loss to rival Tipp City.

“The loss to Tipp hurt, but we had a great week of practice,” he said.

“And these boys know there is plenty of football to be played.”

Add the loss of standout blocker and linebacker Tyler Brown (ankle), and even the biggest Bulldog fan wondered just how resilient this team would be against a Bellbrook team that has had the Bulldogs’ number over the past several seasons.

It took one play to find out.

Bellbrook running back Steve Rasso carried the football seven yards, fumbled, and Cole Pennington recovered for MU, setting the tone for the entire evening.

When all was said and done, Bellbrook had turned the football over four more times, and the Milton-Union Bulldogs had answered all the questions winning the game 17-3.

Following that opening drive fumble, M-U moved the ball just 18 yards, but Nick Fields easily converted the 36-yard field goal giving the Bulldogs an early 3-0 lead.

Play slowed to a virtual halt as both teams found offense nearly impossible.

However, a 51-yard run by quarterback P.J. Eckley to the Bulldogs’ 8-yard line led Bellbrook to a Joe Licher game-tying 21yard field goal with 5:36 left in the half.

Milton-Union’s Jake Finfrock breaks free as teammate Trey Overla blocks against Bellbrook.

After an exchange of punts, with 1:27 on the clock, M-U had the football first and ten at its own 43-yard line.

Bellbrook had a personnel problem and called timeout, and Coach Pearce put the timeout to good use.

“We knew we could hurt them with some big plays,” Pearce said. “Big plays give you a great shot at winning.”

The first play after the timeout, Cody Hollon hit Jason Antonides with a quick 7-yard pass. Just as Antonides was hit in the back, he pitched the ball perfectly to a streaking

Jake Finfrock, who had come from the backfield, and Finfrock streaked untouched down an exploding home sideline.

Fields drilled the extra point, and at the half M-U led 10-3.

Following a Bulldog three-and-out to start the third quarter, the Eagles had the ball for all of two plays before fumbling again.

This time the ball was recovered by Jesse Simpson giving the Bulldogs the football at the Bellbrook 34-yard line.

Two plays later, Clay Minton powered seven yards for the touchdown

and, following the Field’s extra point, M-U led, 17-3.

Bellbrook’s final four possessions of the football game ended with another fumble this time recovered by Jason Antonides, an interception

by Jake Finfrock, a turnover on downs, and a final interception by David Karns.

Overall, the Bulldogs had 211 total yards compared to Bellbrook’s 238.

“The key tonight [was] winning the special teams battle,” Pearce said.

“We’ve seen the difference it makes when we outplay a team in that area (Oakwood), and

when we don’t (Tipp).”

The Bulldogs (3-1) were to open league play on the road tonight (September 23) when they travel to Middletown Madison to face the Mohawks.

SCORE BY QUARTERS M-U 3 7 7 0 - 17 Bell.

Tennis

Milton-Union net squad nips Chaminade Julienne Milton-Union coach Sharon Paul has been around tennis for many years.

And after all those years, Paul was in awe upon the conclusion of Monday night’s matchup against Chaminade Julienne.

“This is quite possibly the best high school match I have been a part of as a coach,” Paul said. “It was two teams playing well and going at it with the strongest line-up they could put out there.”

When all was put to rest, it was Paul’s Milton-Union team emerging with a 3-2 victory.

“CJ is one of the strongest teams in the Dayton D-II area, with wins already over both Lehman and Miami Valley,” Paul said. “They are a great team and we had to play great to beat them. We did.”

Milton-Union’s Andrea Fetters’ and Brooke Sandridge’s first singles match came down to the wire, but it was Fetters emerging victorious, winning in three sets with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 decision. At second singles, Milton’s Jessie Finfrock defeated Mary Haley in another close

match 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (2).

“The night belonged to Jessie Finfrock,” Paul said. “With the match tied at 2-2, she fought back from a 4-1 deficit in the third set to win it for her team.”

Brooke Falb beat MacKenzie Boyer 61, 7-5 in the third singles matchup. At first doubles, CJ’s Allie McMahon and Emily Shira defeated Jesica Ferguson and Claire Fetters 6-2, 6-3, while Chaminade picked up another win at second doubles as Ruby Fortson and Ashley Huffman escaped with a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 win over Kayla Smith and Katie Purtee.

“I have to compliment my second doubles team,” Paul said. “Last year they were both very inexperienced JV players. This year they are battling with some very good players on a very good CJ team.”

Milton-Union continued its great season with a 5-0 win over Eaton Tuesday.

Milton-Union’s Andrea Fetters defeated Amanda Hatmaker in straight sets 6-0, 6-0 at first singles. At second singles, sin-

gles Brooke Falb also coasted to a 6-0, 60 decision over Brooke Lohnes, and Jesica Ferguson defeated Amanda Hall 6-0, 6-1 at third singles.

At first doubles, Claire Fetters and Jessie Finfrock defeated Karigan Ross and Kate McCastle 6-1, 6-0, while at second doubles, Leann Puterbaugh and Molly Lorton beat Victoria Romeo and Nashelle Door 6-1, 6-0.

Tippecanoe 4, Kenton Ridge 1 Tippecanoe defeated Kenton Ridge 4-1 Tuesday in Central Buckeye Conference play.

At first singles, Tippecanoe’s Sierra Nellessen defeated Hannah Benston 6-0, 6-0. Taylor Sutton beat Emily Bonar 6-0, 6-1 at second singles, and Kaede Fukada defeated Megan Schmitt in three sets 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 at third singles.

At first doubles, Katie Stenger and Katie Gross won 6-4, 7-5.

The Red Devils suffered their only loss at second doubles, with Kenton Ridge’s Emma Sellers and Ashley Wallace beating Nadia Mahan and Nefeli Supinger 62, 6-2.

Jon Ellerbrock capped off Bethel’s opening drive with a 6yard touchdown run.

But the Bees (2-2, 1-2 Cross County Conference) struggled from there as host TriCounty North racked up 328 yards of total offense and scored 34 unanswered points to win 34-7 Friday night.

Butler scored the only goal of the game at the 20-minute mark of the first half.

“We just didn’t mark up well, the Butler player came off and basically got a one-on-one against our goalie,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Downing said. “He hit it off the post and put it in.”

But the game could have been a different story for Tipp as it controlled the ball in the Vandalia zone for most of the second half, but failed to make it count.

“It was a game we should have won,” Downing said. “With five seconds left, we had an open shot and just missed it wide.

But in the second half, we kept it in there area most of the time, we just couldn’t score.”

BY JOSH BROWN OCM WRITER JBROWN@TDNPUBLISHING.COM It’s never too early to start doing something you love.

Or too late.

But if you ask Jim Coburn and Andy Clark, there’s no such thing as a good time to stop.

Coburn, from Troy, and Clark, from Tipp City, both play for the Southern Ohio Five-O, a team for players over 40 years of age. The team consists of players from the Dayton Amateur Soccer League’s over-40 division, but many of its members also play in an indoor league, and the team travels to tournaments across the country.

“It’s a great game. There isn’t that many sports that older guys can keep playing,” said Coburn, 67.

“It scratches that itch for competition, burns off aggression,” said Clark, 55. “And it makes you keep in shape.”

“We play a full spring and summer league, and a bunch of us play in an over-45 indoor league as soon as outdoor season ends,” Coburn said. “That started as just a few of us renting a place to have a kick-around, and now we have six teams. I’d say we probably play about 60-80 games a year.”

The 16-man team is incredibly diverse, with players coming from all over the area. It includes: Fairborn’s Dan Maher and Stafford Fox, Brookville’s Herman Kraft and Rod Stephen, Xenia’s David McSemek and Bob Kruetzfeld, Englewood’s Bob Best, Riverside’s Mark Tragesser, Beavercreek’s Brian Strizak, Yellow Springs’ Steve Curtis and Dayton’s Brian Hagerty, Dave Dominick, John Avery and Andy Bergeron.

And each player came into soccer at a different time – which may provide a good explanation for the growing popularity of adult soccer.

“I was the captain of my grammar school team when I was 10, so I’ve been playing about 45 years,” Clark said.

“I think the first generation maybe that played a lot in high school and college has gotten older – and they want to keep playing. More of those players are turning 40 now.

“I had taken a while off when the kids were younger, but now I have the opportunity to play again. And I actually got to scrimmage against my kids – which is a nice experience, too.”

For Coburn, his children were the catalyst.

“I didn’t start playing until my late 30s when my kids started playing,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate to play with a bunch of guys that know a lot about the game of soccer.

“I got into coaching and playing when my kids started playing, and that’s where I learned what little I know about the game,” he added with a laugh. “I’m still trying to get that one game where I feel like I’m a soccer player. I’ve been close, but I haven’t had it yet.”

Kraft – an Ohio Soccer Hall of Fame inductee in 2007 – is the team’s oldest player, turning 71 next month.

“Herman’s an institution,” Clark said. “He was one of the coaches with the German club team in Englewood.

He still plays – and plays quite well.”

As does the entire team – it recently took a trip to Pittsburgh to play in the 14th annual Pittsburgh PA Shop-nSave Soccer Tournament, finishing runner-up to the defending champs.

“We’ve been going there for about nine years,” Clark said. “It’s convenient, it’s not too expensive and there’s good competition. It draws from a wide area with the teams there.”

Coburn helped organize the team in 2001, and it’s only been growing in strength ever since.

“The over-50 team started in 2001. Tim Kondas, who has been involved in Dayton-area soccer for years, and I got it together. His son plays in an over-40 league now,” Coburn said. “We put a team together to go to the National Veterans Cup. After a full year, I took over and have been doing it ever since. From that original over-50 team, there’s only three players left – myself, Herman and Bob Best. Andy manages and coaches the over-40 team, and I manage the over-50 tournament team.”

And the name? Well, that’s a story in and of itself.

“We went to that first national tourney, and there was a ladies team from Hawaii there,” Coburn said. “One of the guys took a liking to them and was joking around about them being from Hawaii, asked if they knew the guys on the show Hawaii Five-o. When we were trying to think of a name for our team, it just kind of stuck.”

“I wish I would have played when I was younger. It’s a great game,” Coburn said.

Milton-Union and Newton played down to the wire last Saturday, as Milton scored a goal just before time went out to end the game in a 2-2 draw.

Milton built a 1-0 lead off Talyn Roth’s goal early in the game, from a Jake Huffman assist.

But it was Newton scoring the next two goals, with Johnny White scoring off a Jordan Hodges pass and then Levi Armentrout burying a shot coming from an assist by Justin Fessler.

The Bulldogs late goal came from Sergei Brubaker on an assist from Tyler Cook with limited time left — in fact, Newton coach Brent Hodges even suggested the goal came in ‘negative time’.

On Tuesday, Milton (2-3-2) took on Madison and won without a draw. Talyn Roth rolled off five goals, Jake Huffman had two goals and four assists, and Milton-Union cruised to an 8-3 win.

Brody Craport added a goal for the Bulldogs and Sergei Brubaker chipped in two assists.

Did You Know?

Dealing With Online Bullies What would you do?

For the 10th day in a row, Andrew opens an email that says, “I’m getting closer.” Doesn’t recognize the sender’s address. He wonders if someone at school is trying to scare him. On the other hand, it could be a stranger.

Whatever the source, Andrew is scared. The next afternoon, Andrew is home alone. The emails come every few minutes. “I’m hiding in your house using a wireless Internet connection. You’ll never find me. But I’ll find you.”

Frozen with fear, Andrew can’t think what to do. If he called for advice what would you tell him?

Sondra is planning a slumber party to celebrate her birthday. Her parents have a set limit of eight girls, so Sondra can’t invite everyone she’d like. Two girls who are left out overhear the plans. Angry, they plan their revenge.

The girls make a “We Hate Sondra Jones” group on a social networking site. They say that anyone invited to the party should not go. They tell everyone in school the group’s address. The girls invite everyone to add new reasons why they hat Sondra and to spread ugly rumors about her.

When Sondra hears about the group address, she gets a sick feeling in her stomach. Unable to ignore it, she checks the site often.

Each day she finds a new nasty comment or joke about her. She feels hurt and powerless to defend herself. Sondra is too embarrassed to go to school and tells her parents she is sick.

Take Action!

Both Sondra and Andrew are the targets of online bullies. Whether bullies are face to face or in cyber-

space, they feel powerful when they bother other people. They may use hurtful words or threaten.

Online or off, bullying is meant to make you feel uncomfortable.

Usually, online bullying does not cross over into real life, but it can.

Wither way, it’s upsetting.

Bullying should not be tolerated, whether in school or in cyberspace. Trust your uncomfortable feelings — they mean something is wrong.

Here is what to do about it.

• Sign off the computer.

• Leave the chat room or Web site.

• Block the bully’s messages.

• Save and print the bully’s emails or your message logs.

• Never reply to a bully.

• Talk over how to hand the situation with a friend.

• Report your experience to a parent, teacher, or other trusted adult.

Be Cyber-smart!

If you feel at-risk because some-

Graphic Designer: Scarlett E. Smith

one has your private identity information, tell your parents or a trusted adult right away.

Write a letter to the editor giving your opinion of bullying.

A Few Words About Passwords You might have a password to use on a school computer or use for email. Passwords protect you.

Without a password, no one can pretend to be you. So don’t share your passwords with other kids — only with your parents. And never give your password in cyberspace.

Even if someone says “Please!”

What’s Private?

• full (first and last) name • street address • name of school • school address • email address • phone numbers • passwords • calling card number • mother’s maiden name • parent’s place of work • photos in which you can be recognized

Email Dos and Don’ts • Do get right to the point and keep your message to one screen. People who get tons of messages every day will thank you. Also, it is okay to skip the “Dear” part in emails.

• Don’t TYPE WHOLE SENTENCES IN UPPERCASE letters. It is like SHOUTING. • Do use uppercase once in a while to emphasize a single word.

• Do check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation before sending an email.

• Do use smileys, also known as emoticons. These symbols help people understand your meaning when they can’t see your face or hear your voice.

• Don’t write a message that you would not want everyone to see.

Although it is bad manners, somebody might forward your message to others.

• Do write only what you would say to a person’s face.

• Don’t use slang or rude language.

• Do type your first name at the end of your message.

• Don’t send angry messages back and forth. That’s called a flame war and it is considered bad manners.

Forgive others for their bad manners and set a good example for yourself.

Smileys :-) means you are smiling :-( means you are frowning ;-) means you are winking and just kidding :-D means you are laughing

uncomfortable — causing discomfort or distress; irritating; painful

BYCRSCPAEE Chat Room Safety Checklist Have you ever had to make a choice about doing the ‘right thing’?

My parents say it’s okay for me to chat in cyberspace.

I will only go into chat rooms for kids that have monitors.

I will never reply to, or click on a link in an IM from someone who is not a face-to-face friend.

If it’s not right to bully someone you meet at the playground... what about bullying someone you meet in cyberspace?

OK NOT OK

If it’s not right to write bad language on the sidewalk in front of your home... what about using bad language on your personal Web page?

OK NOT OK

I know what kinds of information are private.

If it’s not right to tear pages out of a library book... what about deleting a few pages from someone’s computer file?

OK NOT OK

I will not give out my private information when chatting.

If it’s not right to break into someone’s home and mess up the papers on the owner’s desk... what about breaking into a computer and messing up the files?

OK NOT OK

I will tell a trusted adult if someone bothers me in cyberspace.

If it’s not right to watch someone unlock their locker and then open it yourself... what about watching someone use their password and then use it yourself?

OK

If it’s not right to enter someone’s home “just to look around”... what about entering someone else’s computer “just to look around?”

OK NOT OK

My screen name does not tell my name, age, or whether I am a boy or girl.

I will not answer questions that make me uncomfortable.

I will never meet someone face to face that I met in a chat room.

NOT OK

TIPP CITY - Octagon, Astra, Student Senate, Drama Club, National Honor Society, and cheerleading have formed the Tippecanoe Inter Club Council. Last Sunday, in honor of the 9/11 National Day of Service, the group of students gathered at the high school and jointly cleaned up around the outside of the high school. This was their first joint activity. Pictured to the right, Emilie Paulus clips the plants around the front.

TIPP CITY - At Tippecanoe Middle School, Jennifer Brown’s eighth grade health class spent last week in lessons about 9-11 and chose to make this memorial bulletin board. It features the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, Miami Valley servicemen lost since the war, and their class picture holding up “We Remember 9-11” signs. “I thought it turned out really nice,” said Brown.
