It really is a very simple concept: Find the source of the problem
and fix it. Not cover it up. Not cut it out. Not “manage” it with
medication, but fix it.
Your brain controls every cell in your body and it does that
through the nerves. If your nerves are “pinched” or irritated, then
whatever they control cannot work right. Could that be sciatica,
headaches, stomach issues, arm pain, neck pain, scoliosis and
many other problems? Yes!

Lancaster City School District
announces $28M bond offering
With Rick Schneider
Community Education Coordinator,
FairHoPe Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc.
The Little Things Are Important
One of the reasons that FairHoPe
impresses people with its level of
care is that we understand the last
stage of life. I mean really understand it. For all of us who plan on
living forever, we think that those
folks in the last stage of life should
fight the disease so that they will live
forever like us.
The truth is that when confronted
with a terminal diagnosis we must
accept that life does have an end.
FairHoPe understands that the littlest things to us may be of the utmost importance to someone
terminally ill.
Years ago we had an Air Force
Korean War veteran on service. The
bedridden patient mentioned that he
missed seeing an F-86 jet fighter like
the one he flew in that war. His
FairHoPe patient care volunteer hap-
pened to know a nationally known
model builder who lived in the area.
Arrangements were made with the
modeler, also an Air Force veteran,
to bring over some of his F-86 models to show the patient. The patient
was ecstatic. The volunteer said that
he could have gone home and come
back two hours later and they
wouldn’t have known it. Their conversation was intense. There were
combat stories with the patient moving his hands around describing his
attacking a Mig in a dogfight. There
were a few quiet moments of holding back tears and there was also
laughter.
Months later the patient’s grateful
widow was amazed that somehow
we knew how important it was for
her husband to see an F-86. We
know the little things are important.
Lancaster, Ohio – The Lancaster City School District announced
an upcoming $28 million bond offering. The proceeds of the bonds
will be used to fund construction of
the two new junior high school
facilities as a result of the income
tax renewal approved by voters on
November 3, 2015. The bonds, to
be issued by the district, will be
traditional tax-exempt municipal
bonds.
As a special arrangement made
by the Board of Education, local
residents will be given the opportunity to invest in the district by purchasing the bonds, which will be
sold in increments of $5,000 and
have maturities ranging from one
to 20 years.
"This is a unique opportunity
for the community to invest in the
district’s bonds,” said Lancaster
City Schools Treasurer, Julie Taylor.
The district has retained Rockmill Financial Consulting, LLC as
their advisor to organize the process related to the sale of the
bonds. The district expects bonds
to be available on August 17, 2016.
"If not for this process, local
investors would likely not be able
to buy the bonds as a part of the
initial offering," said Kathy
Kittredge, President of the Board of
Education. “It's really a special opportunity for the community.”
The district has retained PNC
Capital Markets to handle the sale of
the bonds and offer bonds locally.
Those interested in learning more
about the bond offering are encouraged to attend an informational
meeting on August 10 at 6:00 p.m. in
the large meeting room of 111 S.
Broad Street.
Inquiries regarding the meeting
can be directed to the district's municipal advisor David Conley at 614300-5015.

The Summer Crisis Program
provides assistance to low-income
households with an elderly member (60 years or older), or households that can provide physician
documentation that cooling assistance is needed for a household
member's health.
Eligible households can receive
up to $300, if they are a customer
of a regulated electric utility, or

unregulated electric utility, which
is applied directly to their account.
Households may qualify for up to
$300 towards repair of an existing
central air conditioning unit or for a
new air conditioning window unit
and/or fan. Ohioans must have a
gross income at or below 175% of
the federal poverty guidelines to
qualify for assistance (documentation required). For example, the variables that make up the income for a
family of four must equal or be below $42,525.
Ohioans enrolled in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus
Program (PIPP Plus) are not eligible
for bill payment assistance through
the program but are encouraged to
work with Lancaster-Fairfield Community Action Agency to identify
other opportunities for assistance.

Johnson completes Eagle Scout Service Project
Pictured (L-R): Brandon Johnson and Noah Akers, Park Manager at
Alley Park . submitted photo
Brandon Johnson, from Boy
Scout Troop 5 of Lancaster, recently completed his Eagle Scout Service Project. Brandon’s project
consisted of designing, building,
and installing six benches on the
hiking trails at Alley Park surrounding Lake Loretta.
In order to complete the project,
Brandon needed to obtain funding,
plan the project, manage the construction and installation of the
benches, and complete a proposal,
plan, and report detailing the project. Brandon facilitated two work
days. The first was on May 21,
when the benches were constructed
and the second was on June 17, when
the benches were installed at Alley
Park.
A special thank you to: Fairfield
National Bank, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff
Faulkner, Dr. and Mrs. Dennis Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Ryan Johnson, Mr.
and Mrs. Justin Sivillo, Ray-Mar
Steel, Lowe's, Stone Haven Landscape and Design (Alan Bruny and
Tom), and Tim Shaw for their donations of money, time, and materials
to help with the completion of
the project. Also, thank you to Eric
Johnson, Noah Johnson, Clark
Bates, Adam Murray, James Fox, Eli
Young, Noah Akers, and especially
Brandon’s parents, Matt and Kim
Johnson, who assisted Brandon in
various ways throughout the project.
Brandon participated in his Board
of Review at the end of July and
plans to obtain the rank of Eagle
Scout. Brandon will be honored at
his Eagle Scout Ceremony later this
fall.

seated in the Classic Rock eras of the
70’s, 80’s and into the 90’s., covering such great artists as Journey,

Van Halen to name a few. “Our goal
is to perform quality, commercially
successful tunes that aren’t commonly played by other bands.”
These Guys Live is now in their
ninth year! They have had the opportunity to play at some of the premier
venues in Central Ohio, as well as
opening for Rick Springfield twice,
Eddie Money, and performing at a
pre-concert

During the week of July 18th
to July 22nd, Bloom-Carroll FFA
Chapter held a summer day camp
called "AgVenture" at Canal Basin Park in Carroll for first
through fifth graders in the Carroll and Lithopolis area. These
kids had the opportunity to learn
about certain agricultural topics,
such as corn, beef, pork, poultry,
soy, fruits and vegetables.
This group of 70+ children
also enjoyed meals provided by
many of our sponsors. The kids
also had the opportunity to be
visited by three of Ohio FFA's
officers. All in all, the children
had a wonderful time, and they
were able to learn more than they
could ever imagine about agriculture.

Puppy Pointers
By Dudley R.
Drobina
Hi everyone,
Dudley
here.
This month I
want to tell you
about being observant.
There are many new things you
will see as a growing puppy, and
you must use each as a learning
experience. It will help tremendously if you pay attention to all the
things around you as you go.
For example, many of you will
live in a home that includes kitty
cats. They are, for the most part,
fairly harmless, although some cats
don’t care much for puppies and
will swing their sharp claws at you.
Beware, and be quick! Jump out of
the way before those claws find
your tender nose whenever you are
dealing with a grouchy cat.
Just like puppies, cats come in
all shapes, sizes, and colors. They
generally are not as large as your
typical puppy, but if you are a very
small dog you could meet your
match in one of them. They have all
different kinds of personality, too,
as they seem to be imitating us once
again.
for
Recently I saw this black and
white cat. He didn’t seem to have a
permanent address because he wandered around the neighborhood. He
liked to finish up what was left in
the food bowls outside, and it was
kind of fun to see him coming because everybody would scurry
away at the sight of him. Heh heh!
He was around mostly at night
and all the other cats would give
him a wide berth. None of them
wanted to play with him, so I
thought maybe he was like the
Head Cat or something.
He walked a little slower, and
didn’t seem to ever pounce on
things the way regular kitties do.
And when scared, he did something
extremely unusual for your basic
cat: he spun around so his tail end
was facing what startled him!
The kicker came in his markings: he was all black, except for
two white stripes down his back
and ending at a white tail. Very
unusual, as all the other cats I’ve
seen have their stripes running
more up and down their sides, not
down their backs.
From my observation skills, I
determined he must be a very rare
breed of cat. Indeed, this is a one
kitty who acts as if he doesn’t know
he’s a cat at all.
Puppies, you too can have these
observation skills with a little practice. You will soon be able to decide
who is your friend and who should be
avoided, and what places are best for
a puppy to check out, if you keep
your eyes and ears open.
There is just one thing I haven’t
been able to figure out about this rare
Head Cat, and that is why does he
smell so bad? I’ll keep thinking about
that, and observing.
Footnote: On the very same night
after I wrote this column – THE
VERY SAME - I had an up close and
personal encounter with this weird
cat, and it did not end well. I wanted
to get a better look, apparently startled him, and the next thing I knew I
smelled like a carcass wrapped in
garbage, sitting in a sewer pit.
The next day I had to get three
baths before the smell (mostly) went
away, and although I am morally
opposed to bathing on general principle, this time I gladly submitted.
The odor even offended me, as well
as everyone else within sniffing distance.
Needless to say, I have observed
all I want to on that black and white
cat and will from now on watch from
a safer distance to avoid any further
humiliation.
See you next month!

Charlie Gemora: Hollywood’s famous gorilla man
Movie databases would suggest
make-up genius Charlie Gemora
worked on only about a hundred
films.

“More likely it was over 1,000,”
says his daughter, Diana, from her
home in Oregon, who is an artist
(see www.westgate-works.com).
“He began creating sculptures for
film sets in the 1920s, which
evolved into designing and wearing
gorilla suits. From there, he became
a successful make-up artist.”
Born in the Philippines, in 1903,
Charlie was the youngest of 9 children. After his father died, Charlie
ran away only to be found by his
family and placed in a monastery
for several years where he immersed himself in art books.
Yearning for a better life, the
young teenager stowed away on a
ship bound for San Francisco.
Arriving in America, Gemora
found work at a fruit farm and later
a dairy on the West Coast. After
winning an art contest in 1922, he
headed to Hollywood in search of
employment as an artist.
“Universal was making ‘The
Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1923)
and hired Charlie as an extra,” said
Diana. “Someone from the art department saw his sketches and said
if he could draw, he could be a
sculptor, and that’s how it all began.”
When an ape suit was needed for
‘The Lost World’ (1925), Gemora
helped design it.
Standing just over 5 feet tall,
Gemora would go on to design Hollywood’s most realistic gorilla
suits, and wear them in films along-
TOWNE CRIER - Fairfield Edition
publicity still
side notable comedy stars such as
The Marx Brothers, Abbott and
Costello, Laurel and Hardy, and
Hope and Crosby, as well as in
many dramatic movies such as
“Murders in the Rue Morgue.”
Although he became a first-class
make-up artist and prop designer –
creating such iconic costumes as
the Martian in 1953’s “The War of
the Worlds” – Diana believes years
of wearing hot gorilla suits took
their toll. Gemora died in 1961 at
the age of just 58.
“It killed him before his time,”
she said. “He had to have oxygen
tanks nearby while wearing the
suits and after making ‘The Monster and the Girl’ (1941) had a major heart attack. He continued to
work, but it was his last solo gig as
a gorilla.”
Although rarely seen on film out
of make-up, Charlie Gemora will
always be remembered for creating
early Hollywood magic on the big
screen.
“King Kong might have died for
love of his lady,” added Diana, “but
Charlie died for love of a gorilla.”
Many more stories from Gemora’s career can be found in J.L.
Barnett’s detailed 2016 documentary “Charlie Gemora: Uncredited”
(see www.charliegemora.com).

Conquering Mindless Eating - Part 2
In the last issue, the subject of mindless eating and ways to conquer it was
introduced. Continuing on in this issue, I
would like to take a look at some additional suggestions to avoid mindless eating.
This is a great list to pin up as a reminder!
Additional Suggestions
Mindless Eating
to
Reduce
Vacations
• Set time aside to plan vacation
strategies such as what problems
you think you will have in controlling your food intake.
• Purchase and pack items you will
need.
• Record your daily food intake.
Holidays
• Do not use food to decorate the
house.
• Make dough ornaments instead of
cookies.
• Give away any baked items to food
banks for the needy.
• Set aside a certain portion of
dough/batter for yourself.
• Keep non-problem foods on hand
for unexpected guests.
• Bake only the amount you can use
up quickly.
• Do not bake your favorites.
At Work Do not eat at you desk.
• Do not store tempting foods in your
desk drawers.
• Take pre-packaged meals and
snacks to work.
• Do not carry loose change - you
may end up spending it for vending
machine items.
• Exercise during a work break instead of eating.
Page 10
•
Bring just enough money to pay for
your planned noon meal.
•
•
Eating Out
• Do not arrive hungry; eat something before you leave home.
• Pour salt, pepper and sugar over
foods you want to leave uneaten.
• Share orders of high-calorie items
with someone.
• Use alcoholic beverages sparingly
before the meal.
• Wear an outfit with a not too roomy
waistband.
• Order a la carte.
• Ask for salad dressing on the side.
• Ask for a “doggy bag” to take extra
food home.
• Ask the waiter to remove the bread
basket from the table immediately
to avoid filling up on rolls before
the meal.
• Avoid all you can eat restaurants if
this is a problem for you.
• Order your salad to be brought to
the table immediately to avoid
overindulging in unnecessary
foods.
• Cover one half of your dinner plate
with green salad.
• In a cafeteria, ask someone to get
your food and you get theirs.
Exercise Tips
Exercise is an important part of weight
control and when combined with diet may
promote a quicker weight loss. Activity or
exercise can be viewed as a habit as well
and therefore can be strengthened through
behavior control strategies:
• Delay eating by a short burst of
exercises.
• Set aside a regular time for exercise; stick to it!
• Make exercise fun - share with
friends or family.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do errands yourself instead of
sending someone else.
Park your car at the far end of the
parking lot, or 2 or 3 blocks away
from your destination.
Walk to the next bus stop instead of
the nearest one.
Instead of sitting, walk, walk in
place, and exercise during your
phone calls.
Walk to the store and back instead
of automatically getting into the car.
Use the stairs instead of the elevator.
Invest in an exercise bicycle, treadmill or Elliptical and use it when
you are bored or watching the television. Make a habit of a particular
TV program and working out at the
same time.
Walk your pets instead of putting
them out the door.
With conscious effort, we can always
make better health and eating choices. The
best time to start is today!

Garden on the wild side: Go native!
By DeAnne Beyer
During our walks through the
forests and fields, my husband and
I almost always pause to admire the
beauty of the wildflowers. In our
early spring search for mushrooms,
if we return empty-handed, our trip
was not in vain due to our pleasant
sightings of the curious Dutchman's
Breeches, the delicate lavender and
pink Phloxes, the showy white
Trilliums, and my husband’s
favorite - the peculiar Jack-in-the
Pulpits. As the season progresses,
we love to see the flash of brilliant
red as the Fire Pinks hold tightly to
the rocky hillsides, and the Pink
Lady's Slippers put on a show of
their own along the mossy, wooded
slope. The summer brings more
excitement as the vibrant orange
Butterfly Weeds are surrounded by
the bold Black-Eyed Susans amidst
the blue-green grasses swaying in
the breeze of the open fields. All too
soon, the season winds down with
the soft pink of the tall Joe-Pyes, the
deep purple of the Ironweeds, the
yellow of the Goldenrods and the
tiny, daisy-like flowers of the Asters.
It is not only the flowers growing
wild that delight us, but the fruit as
well. In early June we can often be
found submerged in the black
raspberry patch filling our buckets
and staining our fingers with the
plump purple berries. Late in the
season our attention turns upwards
as we survey the ripeness of the
tropical-tasting pawpaws trying to
disguise themselves in the oversized
green leaves of the trees they cling
to. Finally, we collect fallen
persimmons and pop them into our
mouths to savor their unique flavor,
occasionally laughing at the
puckered mouth of each other when
we inadvertently partake of a
slightly under-ripe fruit. There
certainly is an abundance of
goodness out there - a feast for both
the eyes and the palate - in Ohio’s
native plants.
A widely held definition of a
native plant is one that occurs
naturally in a particular region, state,
ecosystem, and habitat without
direct
or
indirect
human

that lives in our side yard. photo by DeAnne Beyer
intervention. Most native plants
have been in the same area for
centuries or longer. Therefore, the
natives (flowers, trees, vines, shrubs
and ground covers) are well adapted
to the area’s climate and soil, which
means, in general, they require less
maintenance. That is great news to
this lazy gardener who puts off
watering, procrastinates with
fertilizing, and shuns the application
of poisons.
However, just because a specific
plant is indigenous to an area
doesn’t mean that it will flourish
when planted there. Each plant, of
course, has its own habitat
preference. For instance, a plant that
prefers shade and moist, loamy soil
would not do well on a sunny, dry
hilltop with heavy clay soil. A very
helpful website for planning your
native
plantings
is
http://ohiodnr.gov/gonative, which
contains lists of native plants
grouped by habitat preferences.
In addition to the potential for
less water usage and less
maintenance, another benefit of
native plants is that they live in
harmony with the birds, insects and
butterflies that tend to seek out
specific native plants. For example,
the precious Monarch butterfly
needs milkweed in order to
complete its life cycle. The various
native milkweeds are the only plants
that support the larvae of the
Monarch; if the milkweeds are
completely eradicated, sadly, the
beautiful Monarchs will cease to
exist.
In an effort to do my part to grow
a healthier and more beautiful
ecosystem, I plan to continually add
to the native plantings on our
property. Recently, I purchased a
lovely Bergamot plant which looks
right at home in our front yard next
to the Purple Coneflowers. As I
stepped outside today to admire the
freshly planted flower, I was
rewarded by seeing a striking, black
and blue Spicebush Swallowtail
feeding on the plant’s nectar. Next,
a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
swooped in and the two jostled for
prime position on the single plant.
In the end, the handsome
butterfly won, and I won as well, as
I now have an irrefutable excuse to
go buy another native Ohio plant.
There are several plant nurseries
in Ohio that sell native plants and
seeds. Do a search online for “Ohio
native nurseries” to find one that’s
right for you.

Baltimore Council Report
Baltimore Council met July 11
with Chuck Keller, Jim Hochradel,
Dwayne Mohler, and Tony House
present. Mike Hamilton and Robert
Hankison were absent. Also present
were Mayor Brad Nicodemus, Village Solicitor Jeff Feyko, and Fiscal
Officer Kathryn Jenkins.
In visitors’ comments, Paul Cornett of W. Market St. asked for the
Village’s criteria for resurfacing
streets, particularly when it comes to
grading and milling the old surface.
The Mayor said it often depends on
the condition of the street, though
there are places in the Village where
streets have been overlaid so many
times the curb is now several inches
below the road surface. Cornett said
that obliteration of curbs and sewer
grates by the road surface is causing
brine from winter salt to go into his
driveway, where it has badly pitted
the surface. Mayor asked members
of the Service Committee if the Village can request, under terms of
grants for resurfacing, that streets be
milled. House said milling streets
costs almost as much as paving them.
Mohler and the Mayor said not milling is creating problems for residents
by obliterating curbs and gutters. Ho-

chradel said the Village started milling streets three years ago and
exposed curbing that had been buried. The Mayor said milling means
the Village can’t resurface as many
streets each year; the results are better but it will take time to do all of
them.
House responded to Cornett’s
comment on income tax reciprocity
(made during the public hearing just
before the Council meeting): VOB
used to offer reciprocity with Columbus but Columbus changed it, not
Baltimore. The big cities in Ohio
don’t want to send tax dollars to the
smaller communities, House said.
Cornett said smaller communities
need to keep asking for it. House
advised Cornett to contact his state
representative. All the cities adjacent
to Columbus have reciprocity.
Debbie Schaffner asked about
Baltimore’s ordinance governing political signs. The Mayor said the sign
code is in limbo for the time being
after a court case. The Ohio Municipal League will soon have a model
ordinance that will provide some direction. She also reported code issues
with a house on High Street.
The VA said eight property enforcement letters have been sent out
this week. She explained the current
process for dealing with apparent
property code violations: complaint,
VA drive-by, list to Police Chief
each week, Police Chief drive-by,
enforcement letter prepared and sent.
She will be addressing some complaints received on Dollar General
with the manager there.
The Rules Committee has completed changes to the water and sewer rules and regulations, and updates
to the cell phone policy. An ordinance that would add mandatory ethics training to the employee manual
is ready for Council consideration.
The VA and Fiscal Officer
worked with the Solicitor to create a
volunteer sign-off form for people
doing volunteer work to release the
Village from liability.
Police Chief Tussey reported the
resignation of a reserve officer. Police Olympics resulted in a lot of
positive comments about the facility
and treatment they received while in
Baltimore.
Police have been trying out a digital portable radio from a local vendor. Meanwhile, the Fairfield County
Sheriff’s Office switched to a digital
system which has led to a serious
communication problem for Baltimore’s department. Police are looking into the cost of three portable
digital radios that would provide a
temporary fix.
Tussey has received an invitation
from the White House to attend a
symposium on 21st Century Policing
in America. He will advise when he
knows more.

Ordinance 6-13-2016-1 authorizing
the Village Administrator to advertise
and sell surplus and unused property
(two motor vehicles previously used
by the utilities department) approved
4-0 at its third reading.
Second reading held on Ordinance
6-27-2016-2 to amend Planning &
Zoning Code – Special Regulations to
adopt a sidewalk installation policy.
House said a public hearing had been
held and recommended the ordinance
be held for a third reading to allow the
absent council representatives to weigh
in and have a discussion on public response.
First readings held on Ordinance
7-11-2016-1 (amending water and
wastewater rules in order to update and
clarify various provisions); Ordinance
7-11-2016-2 (updating/clarifying the
cell phone policy); Ordinance 7-11
2016-3 (providing for ethics training
for village employees); Ordinance 711-2016-4 (updating various cemetery
fees); Resolution 7-11-2016-5 (to
adopt the 2017 tax budget); and Ordinance 7-11-2016-7 (authorizing loan
payments for a used dump truck and a
new loader/backhoe previously purchased by the Village).
In old business, House asked if the
Village will take any action since the
owner of the Baltimore Grill property
has not complied with the July 1 deadline. Solicitor recommended waiting to
see what happens in the next two
weeks since a permit and an OUPS
ticket have been obtained and it will
take time to prepare the paperwork for
the next Mayor’s Court.
Keller asked if the Village had gotten more information about Park Street
property and its heirs. The Solicitor has
been in touch and will be following up
with the located heirs.
In new business, Mohler said the
storage garage near the taxidermy has
a roof falling in and wondered if it was
on the property maintenance radar. The
VA said it was; the owner was sent a
letter after Hochradel brought it to her
attention and is now in the process of
getting a bid to remove it. She said she
would follow up.
In last minute visitor comments,
Cornett suggested a pro-rated residential burial rate. House said the Committee discussed and dismissed that
idea. The Mayor emphasized the
residential/non-residential differential
does not apply to graves already purchased.
Council recessed for 5 minutes at
8:52pm followed by an executive session to discuss litigation and personnel
matters. Council came out of executive
session at 9:49pm and adjourned upon
their return.
Next meeting is August 8.
