MULTI-FAMILY & LAND FOR SALE Come, sit on Weldon's front porch and enjoy some homemade ice cream Weldon’s has been serving homemade ice cream in Millersport for 86 years. photo by Esther McMillen By Esther McMillen With Rick Schneider Community Education Coordinator, FairHoPe Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. As They Are When someone signs on to FairHoPe compassion, part of our admitting regime is to inquire about their current spiritual comfort level. We are interested in comforting the whole person physically, emotionally and spiritually. If the patient has a church family we contact their clergy and offer our assistance, if needed. Sometimes the patient has no church family in which case one of our chaplains will offer their services. Several years ago one of FairHoPe Hospice’s chaplains, Karl Hartmann, was asked to visit a Catholic woman who was on FairHoPe’s service. She was unresponsive. Karl’s experience told him that even though she did not respond to anyone’s voice there was a good chance that she could still hear him. “At least, God could.” Karl knew that the Catholic Faith has several common prayers said in every Catholic’s prayer life. He wanted to use a prayer that the patient would be familiar with, and thus be a comfort to her. So Karl brought a copy of the traditional Catholic prayer, the “Hail Mary”, with him when he visited. Quietly he entered her room, announced that he was there, and then pulled up a chair to sit at her bedside. He began to recite the “Hail Mary” and noticed that the patient began to silently mouth the prayer with him. Karl then began to pray the Lord’s Prayer and she said it right along with him. Yes, Karl comforted the woman during the most important few days of her life. He has always said that his job is to comfort people where they are and as they are. 2273 W.

For 86 years visitors have enjoyed the delicious homemade ice cream served at Weldon's. Weldon's has been honored by the Buckeye Lake Historical Society with an Award of Recognition, for this historical landmark that has been preserved as a part of the Millersport Community, still in 2016. It is interesting to note, as stated on their award plaque, that this historical land- mark remains in the original owner's family and is still today managed by David Pierce, grandson of the original owner, Rudy Weldon. As the historical society award states this original structure was built as a hotel and was part of the Summerland Resort, built in 1899 by Samuel J. Wooley, a great, great uncle of the current manager in 1918. The hotel was moved from Summerland Beach to its current location, where it is known as the OSLICO Club. The OSLICO Club was used as a resort retreat for employees of the Ohio State Life Insurance Company. The OSLI- CO was converted to an ice cream factory in 1929 and purchased by Rudy Weldon later that same year. Weldon's officially began operations on December 29, 1930. Weldon's Ice Cream continues in its original form and the family still lives above the factory where many of the hotel's room numbers have been preserved on the original doors. We can still have the pleasure of going to the old ice cream soda fountain and enjoy the tastes from yesterday, that are still good and a delight today. The award states it very well, as through the years, locals and visitors that are lovers of ice cream, have climbed the porch steps to enter Weldon's Ice Cream parlor and purchase from a broad selection, their favorite flavor of ice cream and having it on a regular or waffle cone, or if you prefer, a cup. You can have sundaes, large and small, and even homemade ice cream drumsticks, with or without nuts. You can sit on the porch and view the lake across the street and catch a lake breeze as you lick your cone or spoon your cream from a cup. Millersport can be proud of this historical landmark and for David and his family who work to continue the delight of this place. If you have not been here, you need to come visit and if you have, but just got busy, take a break and come to Weldon's and enjoy some true delicious ice cream. Weldon's Ice Cream Factory will lift your spirits and satisfy your taste buds.

DAR Sets Guinness World Record To celebrate and commemorate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the National Society wanted a national project worthy of the milestone. The NSDAR set out to break the Guinness World Record for the most letters sent to military personnel in one month. The goal was to send 10,000 letters to service men and women. The letters were collected at the DAR National Convention held in Washington, D.C., in June 2016. When Guinness announced the final count, the official tally was 100,904 letters. The rules set a limit of one letter per person. Each letter had to be hand written, addressed and stamped for delivery to a member of our nation’s military. Letters were sent to all branches of the service in a variety of locations, both stateside and overseas. The Elizabeth Sherman Reese Chapter of Lancaster, Ohio, wrote over 150 letters for this effort in support of our armed forces. Chapter members, friends and family, and area students participated in this project. This project was in keeping with the DAR motto of “God, Home and Country.” Supporting our nation’s active duty military, as well as our veterans, is a primary goal of DAR. Every DAR member is a direct descendant of someone who participated in or supported the American Revolution. Therefore, those who continue in the tradition of serving our country deserve our gratitude, respect and support. The Elizabeth Sherman Reese Chapter thanks all who are serving or have served our nation for their service to our country. May God bless you, and may God bless America.

Main St., Somerset 740-743-1349 Page 3 Bill and Elaine Moore named Carroll Old Timers Festival Royalty Elaine and Bill Moore of Carroll, the 2016 Carroll Old Timers Festival King and Queen. By Tammy Drobina “We are looking forward to the honor of being king and queen,” said Elaine Moore, one of this year’s members of local royalty. Elaine and husband Bill Moore have been selected to reign as the 2016 Carroll Old Timers Festival King and Queen, with the crowning ceremony set for August 19 as part of the opening ceremonies for the annual event. Last year’s king and queen, Harold and Jonda Wogan, are planned to be on hand to crown the new honorees. “I was very surprised to be picked. Shocked,” said Bill. “It will be fun.” Bill’s family moved to Carroll when he was two years old and he grew up on a large piece of property on Winchester Road, behind the current Speedway location. At age 16, his family moved to Coonpath Road and Bill graduated in the Carroll High School Class of 1964. Elaine was born in Lancaster and her family moved to Pleasantville when she was five. She graduated from Fairfield Union in the Class of 1968. The couple, married 49 years, moved to Baltimore after their wedding and lived there until a job transfer took them to Indiana. Elaine worked at Heartland Fairfield, starting in medical supply but moving up to office manager. Bill retired from Columbus (Indiana) Container and the couple returned to their Carroll roots in 2005 to be closer to family, which includes son Kevin (Laurie) Moore and daughter Laura (Sean) Duncan, three granddaughters and three great-granddaughters. “I’d like a boy, too,” Elaine laughed, “but no one has given us any.” Elaine’s hobbies include sewing and scrapbooking, and both of them enjoy traveling and camping. The couple is well-known for the business they started upon return to the area in 2005, E&L Embroidery, and for their involvement at Bloom Carroll schools with all the sports and activities their children and grandchildren have participated in. “Whatever they are involved in, we get involved in,” Elaine said. “That’s what it’s all about,” Bill added. Being selected as Carroll’s royalty for the year was unexpected, but something they are looking forward to enjoying. “I was surprised and honored,” Elaine said of the selection. “I think it will be really neat. Our family is really excited.” The public is invited to attend the crowning ceremony at the Old Timers stage near Bessie Benson Park in downtown Carroll on August 19.

Carroll Council Report Carroll Village Council met in regular session on Tuesday, August 9, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Tammy Drobina called the meeting to order with pledge to the flag. At roll call members present were Conda Jones, Sarah Weist, Don Deuschle and Carole Dreier; Martin Rippel was absent due to vacation, and there is one vacant seat. Also present were Clerk Mary Dawson, Police Officer Tom Romine, Zoning and PMC inspector Dennis Rose. Village Solicitor Jeff Feyko was absent due to vacation. Visitors present were Adam Tippett, Dave Weist, and Kent Searle with River of Life Church. Mr. Searle stated their church would like to be more involved in the community. He asked if the Bessie Benson Park and gazebo belonged to the village (it does) and he asked how the church would go about having music in the park. Mayor explained, we have a form to be filled out and they should furnish a copy of their insurance. This form can be found online on our website. Committee Reports: Rules Committee met on July 26, 2016 to interview applicants for the vacant seat on council. Chairman Don Deuschle said there were two good applicants, both qualified, and they were Adam Tippett and Linda Dattilo .The committee recommended Linda Dattilo and Adam Tippett. The Committee recommended the appointment of Linda Dattilo. Carole Dreier made a motion to appoint, 2nd by Sarah Weist. Roll Call was all in favor. Police report for July 2016 was reported to council by Officer Tom Romine. Mayor asked about the offense that was listed as Criminal Simulation Utter, Officer explained it was counterfeit $20 bills. Dennis Rose gave the Zoning Report, stating he had three new sign permits. In Code Enforcement, Mr. Rose reported no change. Peoples Store has until August 20th to comply with the order to repair or raze. No Solicitor’s report. Mayor reported on items from her report. AGventure summer park program was another success this year, kudos to the BC FFA members and advisors for all their hard work and to the sponsors who made it possible. All involved had a great time. William Delong was sworn in as an auxiliary officer last week and Matthew Ray was sworn in as an auxiliary officer yesterday. We will be hiring possibly one more to get to full staffing. Volunteers from Crossroads Church were here July 24 and TOWNE CRIER - Fairfield Edition painted curbs and the bulletin board in Benson Park for Impact Week. We appreciate all their efforts. (Mayor’s report is available in its entirety at the clerk’s office.) Old Business: Mayor is waiting for the new contract for the Building Dept. and will sign when it is provided. The contract was approved by Council last month. Regarding the annexation, it was filed July 26th and is now working its way through the process until it can be finalized, which can takes a few weeks or a few months. Because the annexation is not final, ODOT cannot allow the name “Carroll” to be imprinted in the concrete, however it can be in placed in the railing. Mayor said although this was not what we hoped for, it is still good and ODOT must follow their procedures. The delay in filing was beyond the Village’s control but now things are moving well. The Resolution for Services for the annexed area needs to be approved within 20 days of filing; since we only have four members here we cannot pass it as an emergency so we will have to set another meeting before Monday to vote on it. New Business: Mayor reported that retired Judge Joseph T. Clark has consented to be our Magistrate. Back in the 70’s he was the Village Solicitor. Council has a copy of the contract; Mayor asked if there were any questions and there were none. Clerk’s Report: Clerk gave a short report on past due bills totaling $7709.03 (at the end of July) with 76 customers delinquent. Delinquent customers were tagged today with shut off Wednesday at 11:00 am. CPA’s did perform the audit. All Council members have a copy of report. It was a good report, with only a question on purchase orders items noted. Mayor reported on Old Timers Festival, we do not have a copy of their insurance at this time. Councilperson Weist asked do we cancel the Festival if we do not have their insurance, Mayor stated we don’t want to do that but it needs to be taken care of. An emergency meeting to vote on the two pieces of legislation that need passed as emergencies was set for Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 6:00pm. With no further business, meeting adjourned at 7:20pm by a motion from Conda Jones, 2nd by Don Deuschle. Next meeting of Council is September 13, 2016 at 7:00 P.M.

Expires 10/1/16. Expires 4/1/16 Expires 4/1/16 Tinseltown Talks by Nick Thomas After battling Martians, Ann Robinson expected peaceful retirement Ann Robinson and Gene Barry in The War of the Worlds. Struggling for survival alongside Gene Barry in Paramount’s 1953 adaption of H.G. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds,” Ann Robinson prevailed to celebrate the demise of Martian invaders. More recently, however, the actress faced challenges of an earthly origin including the need for a pacemaker. “But the liver, kidneys, and everything else is working just fine!” laughed Robinson from her home in Elysian Park, a neighborhood in central Los Angeles. More misfortune struck when a house fire broke out in 2011. “My photos, furniture, clothing – all damaged or destroyed," she lamented. "I lived at my son’s home while the house was repaired. And just recently, I was shocked when my husband suddenly filed for divorce and is even suing me for spousal support. At 87, that’s not how I expected to spend these years of my life!” publicity shot While limiting her appearances on the convention circuit during this difficult period, Robinson is now hoping to attend more events. She recently appeared at the San Fernando Valley Comic Book Convention on August 14 in Granada Hills, California. “So I’m trying to gather my life back together and get out there again,” she said. Beginning as a stuntwoman early in her career, Robinson soon found work as a film extra as well as small parts in the early 50s. Producer George Pal discovered her when looking for an unknown actress for “The War of the Worlds.” “They put a wig on to cover up my red hair and made me look like a small-town, homespun girl,” she recalled. In one memorable scene where Robinson and Barry hide in an old farmhouse, a Martian creature extends its threefingered alien hand and gently touch- es Robinson’s shoulder from behind triggering her iconic expression of utter terror. “My character had screamed a lot through the film, but at this point was so scared, she couldn’t make a sound.” Much to Robinson’s amusement, Steven Spielberg evoked that same scene when the two met after he invited her and Barry for cameos in his 2005 remake, “War of the Worlds” starring Tom Cruise. “Steven was just so adorable,” she laughed. “He came up behind me, squatted down, and placed three fingers on my left shoulder and yelled ‘Someone take my picture!’ Apparently, ‘War of the Worlds’ was one of his favorite films growing up.” Though she only filmed for a day, the experience astonished her. “They treated me like royalty,” she recalled. “My son, who was with me, told me he heard people saying ‘She’s here, she’s here!’ after we arrived on the set. Then for the Ziegfeld Theater premiere, they flew me to New York first-class, put me up in a beautiful hotel overlooking Central Park, and arranged for a limousine to drive my family around. I waited 60 years to get that treatment!” Fans, however, may have been disappointed as both Robinson and Barry appear silently on screen for barely five seconds. “A lot more film was shot and when I saw it, it looked like a reunion of ‘The Waltons,’” she said, referring to Cruise’s character reuniting his family at the film’s conclusion. “It needed more punch, so they trimmed it down. But it was certainly fun to be involved.” In addition to future public appearances, Robinson has a role in a new Don Glut production, Ann Robinson speechless with fear in The War of The Worlds screen shot Recent Ann Robinson photo from her Facebook page. “Tales of Frankenstein Part 2 Crawler from the Grave.” “We’ll start filming at the end of the month,” she said. But plans for an autobiography are on hold. “I’m not sure about it now after all my photos were destroyed in the fire, they would have been a big part of my story,” she says. “I do have a lot of fun anecdotes from my career, so my (used with permission) recent troubles haven’t overshadowed that. I’m so lucky to have been associated with ‘The War of the Worlds’ and that people are still enjoying it.” Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at Montgomery, Ala., and has written features, columns, and interviews for over 600 magazines and newspapers.

To the older girls it was an annual trip for team building, learning, training and bonding, to the younger girls it was a whole new experience. The trip was all of this and so much more. Sixteen girls boarded a bus to Ameri Cheer’s Camp hosted by Ohio Dominican University. During the three-day/two-night camp, cheers, chants, stunting and dances were learned. The girls bonded as a team and made new friends. All of this in itself would have been plenty for these athletes. Throughout the camp, athletes are given individual ribbons for spirit, improvement, and team work. Evaluations are done daily for the teams offering incentive to continue to strive and be a better team. That is exactly what this group did. An Individual award of “Spirit Sparkle Shine” is given to girls who excel at being a cheerleader, have positive attitudes, go above and beyond to help their team or any other team, and show great leadership ability. Three of these awards were given to the Millersport squads; Krya England, Blair Murphy and Courtney Spencer proudly wore their ribbons for this award (per camp protocol). Shetrone There is a banner competition held in which teams make a banner that represents their team's philosophy, team spirit and school. They are then asked to explain their banner. Millersport had one banner that simply said, “Bound by the Bow.” When asked to explain the banner, it was simple, from the Little Lakers, Millersport Junior High School and Millersport High School, there is one town and one team they all work together. On the last day, overall camp awards are given. Little did they know that the last day would prove to be a monumental mark for this team and their coaching staff. Millersport High School and Millersport Junior High School teams competed against eight other squads and won the following awards as a combined team: Most Improved Squad, 2nd place Home Dance, Spirit Banner Award, and “Fear the Bow” camp theme award. MHS earned an overall 'Superior' trophy and 3rd place overall in their “Crowd Crazies.” MJHS received an 'Excellent' trophy overall and received the Teamwork award.

Chuck Keller was absent, as was Mayor Brad Nicodemus. Also present were Village Administrator Teri Wise, Village Solicitor Jeff Feyko, and Fiscal Officer Kathryn Jenkins. In Visitors, Leann Ardrey Kirkpatrick provided an update on the Baltimore Burger Festival. She asked if the Village is still willing to pay for the Festival’s use of water, electric, and trash. House said Council always has. Several topics pertaining to the festival were discussed. The VA reported water complaints on Westwood caused the village to flush the hydrant at Westwood and Maple, which was found to be very rusty. It also is influencing Maple Street east of Market Street. A focused flush will be done on several hydrants in that area. The Tree Commission spent about $450 on trees planted in Johnson Park. The Village continues to monitor and sample water. Manganese levels are at their lowest level. Finance Committee: RITA refunded $23,000 because tax administration costs were less than expected. This will help to offset the earlier Time Warner refund claim of $38,000 for overpayment of estimated tax. The Village will take $42,500 from Star Ohio to pay for the Romulus Street sewer project, the other $5,290 of the cost will come from the Storm Sewer Fund. Fire Board Report: A special meeting was held July 10 to approve additional money for the medic repair, which required a new engine. The levy process had to be restarted after it was found that some language had been left out. The request is for a new 2.8- or 2.9-mill levy. Police: The Girl Scouts visited and brought cookies. Peoples Bank has donated two brand new digital portable radios with mics; bank employees showed up at the police department with lunch, bundles of balloons, a box of children’s books, and $1,100 worth of radios, which will help the department manage till next year, when they hope to buy a couple more. It is August 19 - September 1, 2016 part of the bank’s Hometown Heroes program and very much appreciated. Ordinance 7-25-2016-1 to accept easements for the Market Street Sidewalk Project approved 5-0 as an emergency at its first reading. Second readings held on Ordinance 7-11-2016-1, amending water and wastewater regulations; Ordinance 7-11-2016-2, updating the cell phone usage policy; Ordinance 7-11-2016-3, to provide ethics training for Village employees; and Ordinance 7-11-201604, updating various cemetery fees. House asked that the Solicitor review the last ordinance to be certain residents of assisted living facilities also qualify for the reduced rate in the same way that residents of nursing homes do. Ordinance 6-27-2016-2 to adopt a sidewalk installation policy had its third reading. Hochradel said this ordinance was not discussed in Service Committee and he is not in favor of it. Hochradel said the Village has a mess with sidewalks. Some have been installed by the Village and residents were not charged. An existing sidewalk ordinance has not been enforced and does not appear to require sidewalks to be installed on existing properties, just on new builds. This ordinance is another “can of worms,” Hochradel said, added to a section of code in need of review, updates, and enforcement. Mohler said some residents have talked to him about the proposed ordinance and expressed concern. House said two residents came to the Public Hearing and both spoke against the proposed ordinance, for different reasons. The Solicitor asked if Regional Planning Commission would be looking at the sidewalk code as part of the review they are starting. House said the current Code needs to be enforced, and moved to table the proposed ordinance and see what Regional Planning comes up with. Mohler seconded. All present voted to table it. In old business, Mohler talked with the assistant fire chief about burning down a house on a property being annexed. Kasey Farmer said it usually is not cost effective because of the cost to the homeowner of having the property in- spected, abating for asbestos, etc. In this case, a state route also would have to be closed. The Solicitor said he would pass the information on to the property owners. Hamilton said about 15 people asked him about the stretch of “sidewalk to nowhere” on Canal Street. Hochradel asked if the Village had gone forward with the inspection of 8 pumps at Village pumping stations, as discussed in a recent Service Committee meeting. The VA said she would ask. He asked for an update on contracting a property maintenance inspector/code enforcement officer. The VA has a couple concerns and some questions that the Mayor is still answering. For an enforcement officer to be effective, the Zoning Code needs to be in better shape. Wise brought a copy of the enabling legislation for the Sidewalk Restoration Grant program, discussed at an earlier meeting. The Solicitor said it looks like it is a continuing program, though the funded amount was $5,000. House asked that it be determined by the next Finance Committee meeting if funds are still in that account. The Solicitor said if there are no funds, it’s meaningless, but if there are funds, they could still be used. In new business, motion to pick up expenses for the Police Chief’s trip to the 21st Century Policing Symposium (gas, food, lodging), with his wife included, approved 5-0. Council recessed into Executive Session at 9pm to discuss litigation and land acquisition, and returned to regular session at 9:30pm. House moved to rescind the vote of Council on June 13, 2016, wherein Council affirmed the appeal of the variance granted to the property located at 0 West Market Street and owned by George and Vicky Begue; and to affirmatively decline any further jurisdiction of this matter by the Village of Baltimore. For the purposes of any appeal to the Court of Common Pleas of Council’s action herein, the effective date of this action shall be the date of the approval of the minutes of the Council meeting of July 25, 2016. Mohler seconded. A roll call vote resulted in 4 yeas and 1 abstention (Hankison); motion carried. Next meeting is August 22. (Compiled from minutes not approved as of press time.)

FREE TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS www.QualityAffordableTrans.com (740) 862-2900 Mickey (740) 503-5725 Could you imagine living with a debilitating disorder that there is no cure for and no one has even heard of it? You have heard of MS: 400,000 Americans suffer from it each year, but an estimated 500,000 people in the United States suffer from Chiari malformation, and even more suffer from Syringomyelia. So why does the world know little about these disorders? We are hoping to change all that. Chiari malformation and Syringomyelia are both serious neurological disorders where the bottom part of the brain, the cerebellum, descends out of the skull and crowds the spinal cord, putting pressure on both the brain and spine which results in the obstruction of the spinal fluid, causing many debilitating symptoms. Symptoms range from headaches, neck pain, muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, nausea, impaired coordination, numbness, speech problems, curvature of the spine, slow heart rhythm, spinal cord impairment, sleep apnea, irregular breathing, paralysis, and sometimes even death, just to name a few. I first was affected by the disorder at young age when my little cousin lost her battle with Chiari, however at that time I didn’t put a name to the disorder. It wasn’t until almost four years ago that Chiari reared its ugly head to me again when someone I love was diagnosed after years of suffering from symptoms. Since then I have come to find upwards of 13 family and friends that also suffer from Chiari. After learning of so many people close to me that suffer, I started up a Facebook support to help them connect with others suffering. I wanted to help more but wasn’t sure what I could do. As I stated before, there is no cure for Chiari and Syringomyelia; the only thing recommended to help relieve the cranial pressure is surgery. In most cases, patients become paralyzed and require emergency decompression surgery before they are even diagnosed. Decompression Surgery results in removing part of the skull and occipital bone and sometimes inserting a shunt. This might relieve some symptoms, but in other cases causes many more issues and has to be redone many times as the cerebellum extends even lower. I recently learned that a childhood friend’s daughter, Autumn Woodside, has been suffering from Chiari. She was diagnosed in 2009 but it wasn’t until 2015 that her symptoms became so debilitating she had to be home schooled. Autumn said, “No one believed I had Chiari and they said it didn’t exist and I was faking.” Autumn’s mother Patti Sudlow just wants to get the word out about the disorders and help raise funds for research and awareness in support of her daughter. She contacted the Chiari Syringomyelia Foundation (CSF) to host a Unite the Night Walk in September during the Chiari Awareness Month. I saw the event she had created on Facebook and jumped at the chance to help. I contacted all of my friends and loved ones that have been affected by Chiari. They were excited to see an event so close to them and were glad that the world is slowly learning of their plight. Patti and I would like to invite walkers of all ages to participate in our event to help support this much deserving cause. The Unite the Night for Chiari and Syingomyelia will be held at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds on September 10, 2016, with registration at 6 p.m. and walk to begin at 7:30 p.m. People can go online to the event page to register at http://unitenight.kintera.org/lancaste roh. Participants raising $50 for the cause will receive a t-shirt and glow stick to wear at the event. If you would like to continue getting sponsorship donations, Unite the Night has a list of goodies that you can earn with higher amounts collected. Check out the website for details. We are currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of the event as well as collecting donation sponsorships for the CSF foundation Unite the Night Walk event, which will be used for Chiari research and awareness, as well as items for door prizes. If you have any question about the event, contact Patti Sudlow at 740-243-7645 or me (Carrie) at 740-777-2698. Baltimore Festival 5K celebrates 25 year milestone BALTIMORE, OH - Two hundred sixty-one runners from across the state of Ohio and beyond took to the streets for the 25th annual Baltimore Festival 5K on Saturday, August 8. The 3.1-mile race started at Johnson Park in Baltimore and led runners, joggers and walkers through a paved and patrolled course. Wyatt Gardner won the race in a time of 15:42. Gardner is a Liberty Union graduate and incoming freshman at Otterbein University where he will compete on the cross-country team. Beavercreek senior Matthew Gregson placed second with a time of 15:51. Canal Winchester senior Luke Schirr finished third with a time of 16:10. Both Gregson and Schirr will compete for their high school cross country teams this fall. First place in the women’s division went to Liberty Union junior Sydnee Mangette who finished in 17:49. Mangette’s teammate Kenley French took second with a time submitted photo of 18:52. Third place was Carly Rose, Fairfield Union graduate and member of the Cedarville University cross-country team. Rose finished in a time of 19:05. All proceeds from the annual race benefit the Liberty Union cross-country teams. Race Director Scott Williamson estimates more than 6,000 runners have participated in the race since it started in 1991. He and his wife Kay organize and manage the event each fall to allow high school athletes to attend cross-country training camp at no cost. “Each August we have a great mix of new and familiar faces enter the race,” said Williamson. “We’re proud to have hosted the event for the past 25 years and we look forward to continuing to promote running in the area.” 8374 Lancaster-Newark Rd.

Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible. Every fall, I go out and really watch the stars. I lie on my back and watch long enough to see the Cygnus constellation rise and fall; and I get lost in the wonder of the universe. I lie there and think: this sky is made of molecules which I can't see, but which I breathe. And a single molecule is one-billionth to one ten-billionth of a meter, impossible to see without some kind of magnification. Those molecules break into atoms which break into a nucleus and electrons, down to protons and neutrons, and further still into quarks- the smallest things we can measure right now. When I watch the night sky I see the great huge universe, and what I see is made of far, far more of which I can’t see. In Hebrews, I don’t think Paul had molecules and atoms in mind when he wrote about a universe made of invisible things. Paul was writing of other invisible things God joins together to make up the universe. Things like the relationships that bind us: one quirky friend to another; and friends join as lovers to make nuclear families and households; and households gather to make atom-like communities; who make the molecules we call churches, and these tiny pieces together make the Body of Christ. I can’t see or measure the great scale of the universe; nor the Body of Christ. But I am convinced the invisible hand of God is active on all scales big and small. Rev. Whitney L. P.

You may be asking yourself after reading the subtitle, “who is Melissa Galt and Randall Thropp?” Well, let me tell you they are very important to this exhibit in many ways. Mr. Randall Thropp, who grew up in Lancaster and now resides in Hollywood, is the curator, the keeper of the costumes and jewelry that are on display in the Decorative Arts Center. He is the caretaker of these masterpieces and he takes great pride in his job of preserving bits of our history for all to enjoy. He works for Paramount Pictures in Hollywood and has the prestigious job of taking care of these works of art, matching up the outfits with the movie stars that wore them. Educating not only the movie fans, but those in the business that want to recreate a film and may need to see and learn more about an original costume that was worn in that particular movie. His job is very important to the industry and to the entire world that loves the big screen. Have you ever watched a black and white film and just took it for granted that it was black and white and didn’t even think about what color that outfit or suit might be that the actor or actress was wearing? Well, if that movie was to be recreated or they wanted to make a color version of it, a costume would need to be seen in order to match the colors up. Randall is the keeper of these brilliant works of art that have been brought to life by amazing designers and crafters. Randall, as previously mentioned, works at Paramount and said right now the archives have 3500 individual vintage pieces in the collection, with the oldest piece being dated back to 1914. 80% of this collection can be contributed to Edith Head, and restored by the talented Betsy Potter. Edith Head was an American Costume Designer who was nominated 35 times for an Academy Award for Best Costume and won eight, receiving more Oscars than any other woman. Known actors and actress that Edith dressed were Dorothy Lamour, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Shirley MacLaine, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Anne Baxter just to name a few. Anne Baxter is where Melissa Galt comes in. Melissa is the daughter of Anne Baxter. Anne was known for her roles in movies such as the Razors Edge, All About Eve, and the Ten Commandments. Melissa is also the God daughter of Edith Head and the great granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright, all famous people. Someone made a comment to Melissa at the exhibit recently, “Big shoes to stand in!” Melissa’s reply back to them was simply, “I am not walking in their shoes, I am walking in mine.” Melissa states she is very inspired by them all, they are incredible people, and they were all blessed to be engaged in their passionate pursuits. Melissa has also followed her passion and her gift and that is one of award winning interior designer, motivational speaker, and an author. So, what was it like to grow up with a famous mother and God mother, many wanted to know. Melissa sat down, along with Randall, for a two-day program to give an inside look of what it was like to grow up with an actress for a mother and an inspiring designer for a God mother. Melissa explains that her mother worked a lot, her first love was her career but she would take 30 days off every year to take her three daughters to explore the natural wonders and Randall Thropp, curator for the Edith Head and Co. Collection. Melissa Galt beside her mother, Anne Baxter's costume that she wore in the 1947 film Blaze of Noon. photo by Debbie Henry they would try to visit as many states as they could. Melissa says they would pile in their Bay Bar that is what they called their dark blue Cadillac - and they would travel together. She went on to explain that her mother was a women whom was very curious about people, loved to talk to them and figure out what made them tick. Melissa says, “She would always make you feel like you were the most important person, and that was one of her greatest gifts.” She was wildly creative and made all of their Halloween costumes. She was creative in the kitchen as well. She was not sure what she would be cooking but it would always turn out great. When it came to housekeeping it was not her strong suit. Melissa made a deal with her mom that she would do the laundry and clean, because as Melissa says, “if my mom did the laundry she would hang everything outside and you would photo by Debbie Henry get a towel that felt like sandpaper!” On her Aunt Edie, as she called her, Edith was quite different at home than she was at work. At work Edith had created a character. She was all work mode; very proper and professional, wearing neutral colors all the time. She wore these round rimmed glasses with a blue tint to them that allowed her visualize how a color would photograph, a common trick in the days of black and white film. She always wore her hair in a bun as well. Have you ever seen the movie The Incredibles? Well the character of Edna Mode was largely based on Edith Head. Now maybe you can picture the resemblance only with a bun on top of her head for Edith. Anyway, Melissa said that Edie was completely different at home. “She was like a Mexican piñata at home, very colorful. She would wear colorful skirts, Mexican blouses, she would have her hair down and she would laugh and smile a lot. She was fun and she and my mother were best of friends.” The Decorative Arts Center was truly blessed to have been granted the permission from Paramount Pictures to bring this collection of pieces to Lancaster. Even more blessed to hear from Melissa and Randall in the Behind the Scenes program. This exhibit was made possible from the generous support of the Fox Foundation and its many volunteers and supporters, as well as Mr. Randall Thropp. If you were unable to visit the exhibit this year you can go to our Facebook page, or the Facebook page of the Decorative Arts Center, to view a wonderful video produced by Darryl Haase, a visitor from Cleveland who has a passion for film and art. Judith Oppenheimer, The Decorative Arts Center External Relations Liaison was very gracious in letting the Towne Crier in to observe and partake in the behind the scenes program. She states that “this exhibit has brought people in from all over the country; movie goers, seamstresses, art lovers, it has just been amazing.” If costumes could talk, oh the stories they could tell... what an exhibit! Thank you for bringing the art of Hollywood to Lancaster. 2016 Sims Fall Festival is fast approaching Time is fast approaching for the 7th annual Fall Festival.

Wild About Animals 4-H Club learns about pollinators By Henry Hoisington The Wild About Animals 4-H Club was busy during the month of July with a field trip and a 4-H meeting. The club took a field trip to Zale and Susan Maxwell's farm to learn about bees and beekeeping. The 4-Hers learned how bees pollinate and why that is so important in different agriculture industries, such as the almond industry and apple industry. They also learned that pollen is a protein and honey is a carbohydrate. Bees eat both to have a balanced diet. They also learned that there are different Page 18 breeds/colors of honeybees; they can be gray, black, or brown. Finally, the 4-Hers learned that it takes seven pounds of nectar to produce a pound of honey, honey is worth $6-$7 a pound, and bees have a six-week life expectancy in summer and three-month life expectancy in winter. The 4-Hers toured the bee area and then enjoyed Mrs. Maxwell's delicious honey ginger snap cookies. Thank you to the Maxwell's for the educational field trip about bees and beekeeping. The Wild About Animals 4-H club held their July meeting at the TOWNE CRIER - Fairfield Edition home of Henry Hoisington. During the meeting, the 4-Hers participated in recreational games, then learned general livestock information to prepare for their upcoming skillathon contests. August 19 - September 1, 2016 Pleasantville community garden benefits local food pantry The initial plants were given to them by the Greater Columbus Growing Coalition (GCGC). This organization tries to encourage people in Central Ohio to grow vegetables as a means of saving money and permits people to have an opportunity to have healthy vegetables as a part of their diet. Having the opportunity to provide this kind of food for a family is a good alternative to the highly processed food that we consume. After the village donated the plot of land for the community garden, Brendt Rolles volunteered to plow the land for the garden. Andrew told me that it still required a lot of effort to prepare this new ground so that a vegetable garden could be planted. He noted that several people have helped with the garden throughout the summer such as Seth Greenlee, Stacy Adams, Mark McCullough and Mike Taylor who provided stakes for the tomatoes. Andrew noted that they could still use some volunteer help with the garden. Any volunteers are welcome to have some of the produce from the garden for their effort. He noted that the produce will be given to the Pleasantville Methodist Church’s Food Pantry which is open the 20th of each month. They would also like to be able to can some of the tomatoes at the end of the season for distribution to people to have later in the year. They invite anyone with knowledge of home canning in the area to join them in this effort. Nancy Pickett and Andrew Proud who work in the Community Garden. photo by Dan Jones By Dan Jones On a small rectangular section of land near the edge of Pleasantville, Andrew and Nancy are working hard on a hot day with the temperature near ninety degrees as they clean up the weeds that are trying to invade their garden plot. The Mayor of Pleasantville, Jack Weidner, allocated this 100’ x 30 ‘ section of land for a community garden. Andrew Proud and Nancy Pickett come to the tend the garden plot three times week, and to water the area. They are normally there on Monday, Wednesday and Fri- day, and they must haul water to the garden from the fire house in the village, since there is no water located at the site. They have planted over one hundred tomatoes on the plot along with various types of peppers, pimentos and cabbage plants. On the day I visited the garden, the tomato vines were weighted down with fruit and the peppers and pimentos were just beginning to change color. The garden was free of weeds, which is difficult to do in the latter part of the summer when it has been so hot. Peppers ripening in the garden. photo by Dan Jones If you wish to know more about this project, come visit the garden along the north edge of the Pleasantville Park near the railroad on Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning and talk with Andrew or Nancy or call Andrew at 740-4681700. It is amazing the amount of work that can be accomplished by one hour of volunteering each week and the satisfaction you will receive by providing food for people in your village is a blessing for you and those receiving the needed food.

The Episcopal Center for Children (ECC), a nonprofit school serving children with special needs ages 5-14 in the Washington, DC area, offers some advice on how to talk with your child about tragedy. “Children hear information from other children and from the activities around them. Your child will pick up information very quickly after a traumatic event happens,” said Dodd White, president and CEO of ECC. “It’s important for parents and guardians to set a tone of openness and support with their children, and to re-assure children that they are safe.” Dodd and the staff at ECC offer the following tips and advice: Use age appropriate language. Talk with your child about the tragedy in a way that is appropriate for his or her age. Elementary schoolers may have questions about their own safety and security. Older children may want more information about the cause of the tragedy or want to talk about how it could be prevented. Share what is appropriate for your child. Be mindful about the personality of your child. Your child may be a 6-year-old who laughs at monsters in movies and can handle the truth about bad guys being a reality of life. Or your child may be a 10-year-old who cannot handle scary movies, and gets emotional when people are hurt. When answering your child’s questions about tragic news events, let the unique personality of your child be your guide. Let your child know it is ok to talk to you about the tragedy. Spend time talking with your child. Let them know that they are welcome to ask questions and express their concerns and feelings. You might not know all the answers and it is OK to say that. At the same time, don’t push them to talk if they don’t want to. Let them know you are available when they are ready. Be calm. Your child will look to you for cues about how to react. It’s August 19 - September 1, 2016 OK for children to see adults sad or crying, but consider excusing yourself if you are experiencing intense emotions. Reassure your child about his or her own safety. Point out factors that ensure your child’s immediate safety and the safety of the community. Review your family’s plans for responding to a crisis. Assure your child that he or she is safe and loved. Limit media exposure. Constant exposure to coverage of a tragedy can heighten anxiety. Do not allow young children to repeatedly see or hear news coverage of a tragedy. Even if a young child is engrossed in play, he or she is likely aware of what you are watching on television – and can become confused or upset. Older children might want to learn more about a tragedy by reading or watching TV. However, avoid repetitive loops of news information once you have the facts. Avoid placing blame. Be careful not to blame a cultural, racial or ethnic group, or people who have mental illnesses. Maintain your family routines. Continue your family’s usual routines for waking up, dinnertime, and bedtime. The familiarity of these routines will help your child. Promote self-care. Encourage your child to drink enough water, eat regularly, rest, and exercise. And follow this advice for yourself too! Spend extra time together. Spend a little more time reading to your child. Take a few extra moments when tucking him or her in at night. If your child is having trouble sleeping, allow him or her to sleep with a light on or to sleep in your room for a short time. Extra hugs and cuddles are good too. All of these actions can improve your child’s sense of security. Watch for signs of stress and anxiety in your child. Look for hyperactivity, irritability, regression, stomach aches/headaches, and separation anxiety. Take steps to relieve stress and anxiety. Get physical. Exercise can relieve stress and help you and your child get a better perspective. Pay close attention to your child if he or she has emotional problems, learning challenges, is going through major changes at home, or has experienced trauma in the past. Children can merge a new trauma and it can heighten their anxieties. If your child has suffered a loss, is facing special challenges, or been exposed to other trauma, he or she may be at greater risk of a severe reaction to a new tragic event. Watch your child closely for any changes in mood or behavior. Do not dismiss or minimize your child’s feelings. Your child might worry that someone will come and hurt him or her. Rather than saying she’s being silly or that such things will never happen, help your child put things in perspective. Say how rare such things would be, and explain how unlikely they are. Address each concern. Point out that many children and parents out there have the same worries and we can instead focus on the definite “will happens” (fun things to do at home and at school and with friends and family) rather than on the very unlikely “might happens.” Encourage the expression of feelings. Explain that it’s OK to be upset. Let your child write about or draw what he or she is feeling. Physical activity might serve as an outlet for feelings or frustration. If your child is acting out, explain that there are other ways of coping. Do something for those affected by the tragedy. Focusing on what can be done to help others, can help children feel less anxious and more secure. Consider ways that you and your child can help victims and their families. You might take your child to your place of worship, light a memorial candle, or write thank-you notes to first responders. Get help if needed. If your child is still exhibiting signs of anxiety after a week or two. Seek out a school counselor, therapist, a member of the clergy, or any other spiritual leader or mental health professional.

HEALTHCARE GUIDE Healthy Life by Design Recently I had someone ask, “What is your program all about?” So let me explain. Our “Healthy Life by Design,” an improving your health and weight loss program is not a diet in the usual sense of the word. It is instead a (lifestyle), a planned way of eating for the rest of your life. Our program is based on a well-balanced regimen of interesting, satisfying, nutrient-rich and easy-to find food. Food that is also easy-toprepare. It is not severely restrictive in caloric intake or limited in variety, but rather, it is based upon the idea that eating is and always should be one of life’s greatest pleasures. You should be able to love food and life quite happily on our program, while still meeting your weight loss and improved health goals. The bounty of wonderful food available to us is a mixed blessing. When you think about the sheer number of vegetables, fruits, grains, meats, oils, dairy products, nuts and various seeds available to us; It is truly unbelievable. When you are trying to eat as healthy as possible, the diversity of foods available can make us very confused. One of our goals is to make eating as uncomplicated for you as possible while also setting boundaries for what you do and do not eat in opting for quality and wholesomeness. For example, we prefer you have steel cut oats that is low in sugar instead of cereal with almost no fiber, but is heavily sweetened. A lean turkey burger or grass fed beef burger instead of one made from fat-marbled ground beef will always be a better choice. We are not going to ask you to switch to foods that are bland and flavorless, but to choose foods that really taste great and are good for you. There is nothing boring about a turkey burger spread with spicy mustard, smothered in onions that have been caramelized in a touch of olive oil and served on a chewy whole-grain bun. There is nothing dull about bubbly water splashed with tangy sweet grapefruit juice and mango nectar or, how about trying one of the many crunchy, nutty, high-fiber cereals now being produced. These types of foods are the ones that are going to help you change your eating habits forever. They are readily out there or you can make them yourself. Either way, they’re going to make a big difference in your life. Our program is going to help you eliminate foods that have empty calories, as well as many that are filled with unhealthy fats, sugar and a variety of Dr. James R. Grilliot artificial ingredients. When you view some of our recipes – you will see the variety of foods that we are going to ask you to eat instead, they will make it considerably easier to let go of a lot of the junk food. Some individuals who have tried our approach are increasing the amount of their physical activity and they are not skipping meals. They are assessing their lives and they are working on changing the reasons why they turn to food for comfort. These same individuals learn how to get in better touch with their hunger and finally, they embrace a new, more moderate and nutritious way of eating. Doing all of these things and doing them in a gradual way is what enables these same people to reach and maintain healthy body weight and improve their overall health. In reality, it’s the reverse of a quick-fix approach and it really works! As a chiropractic physician, I have had a lot of training in how the human body operates.

HDid YouEALTHCARE G UIDE Know Your Eye Makeup Could Be Making You Sick? (NewsUSA) - Sponsored News - For a lot of women, eye makeup is an essential part of being properly dressed -- just as important as a stylish outfit or nice shoes. But while mascara and eyeliner can create different looks, from subtle to striking, they can also make you sick. The problem: Eye makeup can be a breeding ground for bacteria. We all have a few microbes, like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, living around our eyes. When eyeliner or mascara is applied, some of those bugs stick to the applicator and are carried back to the makeup container. Eye products are supposed to contain preservatives to keep bacteria from growing. But some products don't have enough. And over time, the preservative's effectiveness declines. As a result, the bacteria on an eyeliner pencil or mascara applicator grow and multiply. Each time you apply makeup, you get bigger and bigger doses of bacteria -- enough to cause serious infections. "Every year, many women end up with eye infections from cosmetics," warns the University of Rochester Medical Center. "In rare cases, women have been temporarily or permanently blinded by an eye cosmetic, according to the FDA." You can, however, prevent these problems and others with these simple tips: * Don't share makeup to avoid spreading bacteria. * Replace your eye makeup regularly, at least every three to four months. * Remove eye makeup at the end of every day. * Practice good eyelid hygiene. * Keep updated on the latest eyelideyelash hygiene clinical safety reports. Christine Sindt, OD, Clinical Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Iowa, recommends wiping the eyes daily with a new antibacterial eyelid cleanser, such as Avenova from NovaBay Pharmaceuticals. "One recent study showed that Avenova dramatically reduces the amount of Staphylococcus and other bacteria around the eye -- by more than 99 percent," says Sindt. "Avenova contains a solution of pure hypochlorous acid, a substance used by the body as a natural defense against pathogens, but is completely harmless to skin." "I encourage women to talk to their doctors about daily eye hygiene using safe and effective products, such as Avenova, which can be the best defense against infections and other common eye problems, like dry eye and Blepharitis," adds Columbus, Ohio, ophthalmologist Alice T. Epitropoulos, MD. "Take these steps, and women can have both beauty and healthy eyes." For information click on www.Avenova.com. maintain healthy body weight and improve their overall health.

It is instead a (lifestyle), a planned way of eating for the rest of your life. Our program is based on a well-balanced regimen of interesting, satisfying, nutrient-rich and easyto-find food. Food that is also easy-toprepare. It is not severely restrictive in caloric intake or limited in variety, but rather, it is based upon the idea that eating is and always should be one of life’s greatest pleasures. You should be able to love food and life quite happily on our program, while still meeting your weight loss and improved health goals. The bounty of wonderful food available to us is a mixed blessing. When you think about the sheer number of vegetables, fruits, grains, meats, oils, dairy products, nuts and various seeds available to us; It is truly unbelievable. When you are trying to eat as healthy as possible, the diversity of foods available can make us very confused. One of our goals is to make eating as uncomplicated for you as possible while also setting boundaries for what you do and do not eat in opting for quality and wholesomeness. For example, we prefer you have steel cut oats that is low in sugar instead of cereal with almost no fiber, but is heavily sweetened. A lean turkey burger or grass fed beef burger instead of one made from fat-marbled ground beef will always be a better choice. August 19 - September 1, 2016 We are not going to ask you to switch to foods that are bland and flavorless, but to choose foods that really taste great and are good for you. There is nothing boring about a turkey burger spread with spicy mustard, smothered in onions that have been caramelized in a touch of olive oil and served on a chewy whole-grain bun. There is nothing dull about bubbly water splashed with tangy sweet grapefruit juice and mango nectar or, how about trying one of the many crunchy, nutty, high-fiber cereals now being produced. These types of foods are the ones that are going to help you change your eating habits forever. They are readily out there or you can make them yourself. Either way, they’re going to make a big difference in your life. Our program is going to help you eliminate foods that have empty calories, as well as many that are filled with unhealthy fats, sugar and a variety of artificial ingredients. When you view some of our recipes – you will see the variety of foods that we are going to ask you to eat instead, they will make it considerably easier to let go of a lot of the junk food. Some individuals who have tried our approach are increasing the amount of their physical activity and they are not skipping meals. They are assessing their lives and they are working on changing the reasons why they turn to food for comfort. These same individuals learn how to get in better touch with their hunger and finally, they embrace a new, more moderate and nutritious way of eating. Doing all of these things and doing them in a gradual way is what enables these same people to reach and Dorothy had it right… There’s No Place Like Home TOWNE CRIER - Fairfield Your patients are happier when they’re at home - not in the hospital, Interim HealthCare is proud to promote the reduction on unnecessary hospitalizations by meeting your patients non-emergent health care needs at home.

Stop by and check out the Ag Center Building Landscape If you are near the Fairfield County Ag Center, located at 831 College Avenue, take a moment and stop by to check out the Master Gardeners renovation project in front of the building. All of the older shrubs were removed and smaller lower growing shrub materials were installed last fall. This spring to “color up” the building ‘Bubble Gum’ wave petunias, sweet potatoes vines, marigold and sunflowers were planted to add some color to the building and the young shrub plantings and existing perennials. In addition, soaker hoses on timers were installed to aid in keeping the plants thriving throughout the summer heat and dryness. The plant combinations are fun and really do enhance the Ag Center.
