All but big top on Dayton StreetBy Lauren Heaton

If just for one evening, Dayton Street is taking back its historic main street status when it opens the first Yellow Springs Cirque Carnival on Friday, July 16, from 6 to 10:30 p.m. The street party featuring musicians and performers on a three-ring circuit, coincides with a Third Friday Fling and offers Dayton Street and its oft over-looked merchants an evening to shine.

Calling all freaks and artists in their fierc-est lion and nimblest elephant costumes to celebrate midsummer, the Cirque will feature all the contor-tionists, clowns and theater of a real circus without the big top tent. Beginning at Corry Street from the post office to Dayton Street, and on around the corner to the Walnut Street traffic light, the Cirque features three performance stages, including The Rockin’ Stage for acoustics on Corry Street, The Ring of Amazement for jugglers and acrobats at the intersection of Corry and Dayton Streets, and The Jammin’ Stage for live bands at the intersection of Dayton and Walnut. A fourth stage in front of Village Cyclery is reserved for poets and spoken word performers.

Soul Fire Tribe will perform hooping and poi while YS Kids Playhouse and the Zoot Theater Company from Dayton parade large puppets in front of adult face painting by the Jafa Girls and local artisan booths set up along the streets. Williams Eatery will vend burgers from an outdoor grill, while Chen’s Asian Bistro serves up wok fare and Corner Cone and the Gulch do their best to keep visitors cool and quenched. The live bands include Full Circle, Soul Rebels, Dave Schumacher

Board approvesGCESC contract

By Diane Chiddister

At its July 8 meeting, the Yellow Springs Board of Education approved the renewal of a contract with the Greene County Edu-cational Services Center, or GCESC, for special education services for the coming school year, although most board members expressed a reluctance to do so, given the high price tag.

“I’m not happy spending this much money, but we’re late in the year,” said board member Angela Wright. “But we can’t go this route next year. We have to investigate other options.”

Interim Superintendent Tony Armocida recommended that the board approve the contract due to the legalities around the needs of special ed students. The state requires that the Individual Education Plans, or IEPs, of special ed students be in place when the school year begins, and changing contracts this late in the year would make it difficult to meet that require-ment, he said.

“If you delay on this, it will put the district in jeopardy” and open to legal challenges, he said.

Yellow Springs has about 115 students with IEPs.

The board voted 3–1 to approve the con-tract, which costs $478,000 for the year for services that include contracted teachers to work with emotionally disturbed, learning disabled and physically and mentally handi-capped students. The vote was 3–1 for the contract, with Sean Creighton, Aida Mer-hemic and Wright voting for it and Benji Maruyama voting against. Richard Lapedes was not at the meeting.

While Armocida recommended that the board approve the contract, which is one of the district budget’s most expensive items, he expressed his own ambivalence regarding the cost, but ultimately came down in favor of renewing the contract due to the difficulty in finding replace-ment services so close to the start of the school year. In a recent audit, the Yellow Springs district was found to spend about 90 percent above the recommended state minimum on special ed, while peer districts spent an average of 50 percent above the state minimum.

The GCESC contract is one of the items the board has discussed in its recent conversations regarding the need to cut district expenses due to a deficit in this year’s budget, and expected growing deficits. At the meeting, District Treasurer Dawn Weller stated that the 2009–2010 deficit ended up at $432,810, less than the expected amount of between $500,00 and $600,000. The deficit has been projected to reach $900,000 next year if there are no spending cuts.

In explaining his “no” vote, Maruyama stated that he feels the board is “sending the wrong message” to the teachers union, which is being asked to reopen nego-tiations on their contracts for a possible wage freeze.

“Our message is unbalanced and we need to be careful,” he said.

Armocida suggested that in the coming year the board investigate comparable services being offered by other county agencies, in hopes of reducing the cost. A comparison of the quality of the programs, not just the costs, also needs to be made, according to Creighton.

In other business concerning district financial concerns, Creighton reported that a June meeting between board mem-

Some tax drop, but hope for futureBy Diane Chiddister

The income tax decline in the Yellow Springs school budget has been news in recent weeks, and Village government has also seen a downturn in income tax in the past two years. However, the Village tax loss is significantly less than that of the school district, and Village Manager Mark Cundiff sees reason to believe that the worst is over.

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” Cundiff said in an interview last week. “There are a lot of signs that point toward optimisim.”

Hopeful signs include the return of Antioch College, expansion of YSI, the largest local employer, and the beginning of a return on efforts to recruit and retain business by Sarah Wildman, the new Vil-lage economic sustainability coordinator, according to Cundiff.

“It’s amazing how much more proactive we can be with her devoted to this,” he said, describing Wildman as highly energetic.

But these efforts will take time, and the Village still anticipates some continuing income tax decline in 2010. The diminished revenues mean that some capital projects may be postponed, and that it’s been necessary to eat into the reserve fund in the Village general fund budget, accord-ing to Village Finance Director Sharon Potter. Both Potter and Cundiff believe that because this year’s income tax drop is less than last year’s, the worst is over in the local economy.

“I’m assuming that the downturn has lev-eled off, and businesses don’t seem to be closing,” Potter said. “But we don’t expect an increase in revenue until next year.”

Potter will present the Village tax budget for 2010–2011 at the upcoming July 19 Council meeting. The tax budget is an esti-mation of Village revenues and expenses for the coming year.

and Spanish Tony Sanchez. Dayton Street is currently as full as it

has ever been, according to Mindy Harney, whose Brother Bear’s Coffee Shop has brought even more life to the street since they opened there in 2008. The Corner Cone, whose owner Bob Swaney continues to beautify the corner lot, also draws people to the 19 businesses that thrive in that block, Harney said. But business could always be better, she said. And particularly on Street Fair days when business should be boom-ing, for reasons related to the flow of com-

mercial traffic through town, the display booths stop at the end of Corry Street, and shoppers often don’t venture across the street to the Dayton Street shops, she said.

“We’ve drawn more people over here and done things at night and added life to Dayton Street,” Harney said. “But a lot of mer-chants do still feel like it’s a challenge to get people over here.”

So when Swaney called Harney with the idea for the Carni-val, she told him she had already been talking to other business owners about ways to work together on group advertising and drawing more people to the north street of town. The Carnival, as it happened, will be the kick-off event of the Dayton Street Alliance, an initiative to encourage cooperative business prac-tices and networking on the Dayton Street block.

Friday’s event opens at 6 p.m. with a yogi sun salute to wel-come in the evening light. The festivities will wrap up with a big fire performance and a parade down to the Dragon Tree, where a drum circle will close out the night.

This is a participation event. Come out, wear your costumes and bring your talents to Dayton Street.

Rabbit Run Farm house to burn

By Lauren Heaton

Three months after Vernay Laboratories purchased Rabbit Run Farm on Dayton Street, the company has decided to raze the eight-room farmhouse on the prop-erty. The controlled burn is scheduled for Saturday, July 17, and will be performed as a training operation for the Miami Town-ship Fire-Rescue, with an open invitation to Sugarcreek Township and Cedarville departments.

In an interview on Monday, Vernay Pres-ident Ed Urquhart stated that the company was concerned about the safety issues that a vacant building poses to the community and felt it was better to take it down than let it fall apart. Vernay purchased the seven-acre property from Suzanne Patterson in Febru-ary, after Home, Inc. passed on an option to buy it for affordable housing last winter. Vernay obtained the property to continue the extended remediation of toxic contaminants that have been found in the aquifer below Rabbit Run Farm, which sits directly east of its former Dayton Street production plant.

Rabbit Run is one of the last working farms in the village. The west end of Dayton Street remained undeveloped until after 1855, when Antioch College was estab-lished, according to college archivist Scott Sanders. And the farmhouse and barn may have been built around the time that Pat Perry’s family home was built next door in 1875, she said this week. The structures were there in 1942 when Lester and Frances Sidenstick bought the then-11-acre farm, according to their daughter Esther Pierson. She remembers helping to raise and slaugh-ter hogs and cattle in the barn while Fran-ces operated HomeAcres Garden Center on the lot just to the north. Villager Al Schlueter bought the farm in 1973 and ran it as a vegetable and chicken farm with a fruit orchard, until Patterson, Laura Taylor and Connie Collett bought it in 1985. Patterson continued until this year to raise vegetables there for local consumption.

The fire department is scheduled to begin the controlled burn at 9:30 a.m., starting with a series of training exercises involving lighting and extinguishing small fires inside the house, according to Fire Chief Colin Altman. Altman expects that the entire structure will be burned down in the afternoon, and will likely take about two hours to complete. The department plans to burn just the residential home, and not the barn that sits behind it.

The fire depar tment is scheduled to obtain a permit to burn from the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency of the Ohio EPA this week, Altman said. The department had asbestos and other potentially toxic materials such as plastics and carpeting removed from the build-ing this month, and Altman perceives no other safety hazards that would impede the exercise. The event will create smoke in the area, but not more than the many other practice burns the fire department has engaged in over the past several years, including burning Antioch’s Norment Hall on East Whiteman Street and a home on the corner of Dayton and Stafford Streets.

On Tuesday the department notified the neighbors of the burn event. And there will be an area cordoned off for public viewing as well.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for train-ing for our fire fighters,” Altman said, referring especially to the newer volunteers who have never trained with a house fire that can climb up to 1300–1400 degrees. “That’s why these things are so important to us,” he said.

Looking a little bit like waterlogged Martians, Yellow Springs residents, from left, Elijah and Judah Williams and Liam Cooney, splashed around in the shallow end at Gaunt Park this month, seeking a little relief from the heat. It was so hot at the beginning of the month that the weekend’s 80 degree days sounded cool. But temperatures are expected to climb back up to 94 degrees this week with a humidity factor that makes it feel like 101. In that kind of heat, the only thing to do is get back in the water.

A smaller drop this yearVillage income tax dif fers from the

school district income tax in that the Village receives withholding tax from the wages of all who are employed in Yellow Springs, whether they live in the village or not, while the schools receive income tax on both earned and unearned income of villagers regardless of whether they work in town. The Village income tax provides the largest part of the Village revenue stream, with the taxes providing more than 50 percent of the $2.1 million general fund budget that funds most Village services. The Village utility funds — water, sewer and electricity — are self-supporting through fees.

In the first six months of 2010, the Village has seen a 4.6 percent, or about $30,000, drop in income tax on both wages and net profits of local businesses, compared to the 23 percent drop in the school income tax for the 2009–2010 school year. The school tax’s larger drop came mainly from decreased capital gains, and can be linked to the 2008 stock market volatility.

The Village income tax, being a wage tax, reflects the health of local businesses, and this year’s drop of 4.6 percent is less than last year’s drop of about 12 percent. That larger 2009 loss could be linked to the 2008 closing of Antioch College and downsiz-ing at the Antioch Company, according to Cundiff.

According to figures from the Regional Income Tax Agency, or RITA, the Village for the first six months of 2010 had received $602,952 from income taxes compared to $632,175 in the same period last year.

The RITA report shows drops in distri-butions from most large local contribu-tors, including YSI Incorporated, for both withholding taxes for employees and net profits. The YSI tax on net profits dropped to $7,230 so far this year compared to $36,591 last year, and YSI withholding taxes

dropped $11,557 in the first six months of this year.

However, according to YSI President Rick Omlor, those drops do not reflect a decline in the company’s profits or number of employees, but are rather linked to a variety of factors including timing of payments.

“The bottom line is our tax payments, both payroll and income, have continued to trend upward, and we see that trend con-tinuing in 2010,” Omlor wrote in an e-mail.

In recent months, YSI was one of only six businesses statewide to receive a Third Frontier grant. In collaboration with Riehl Engineering and the University of Cin-cinnati, YSI received a $1.1 million grant to develop an advanced sensor for moni-toring nitrate levels in natural waters, a new project that will lead to some job creation, Omlor has said.

According to the RITA information, withholding income tax from the Antioch Company was down about $2,000 in 2010 over 2009, and that year’s TAC revenues had been significantly down from the year before, as the company continued to down-size its Yellow Springs operations after moving most of the business to St. Cloud, Minn.

Most recently, the company let go of five employees in May 2010 due to new machinery that streamlined operations, according to Creative Memories Human Resources Director Laurie Bryant, who is located in Yellow Springs. The company currently employs 40 workers in its Yellow Springs plant, mainly manufacturing the paper materials for Creative Memories, and does not anticipate any more layoffs, Bryant said.

Other drops in 2010 income tax came from Vernay Laboratories, from $19,105 in June 2009 to $14,590 in June 2010; from Wright

JULY 16–22At the turn of summer’s tide, there can be quickening of the psychic pulse, panic that it’s now too late, that all the promises of June are still to be fulfilled, that there will never be suf-ficient time, never be time enough for all our plans and hopes. That awareness now spurs a different chemistry in our brains, one that points to adaptation instead of fulfillment; we batten down our souls, make ready for the test of the harvest, the test of the reaping what we have sown, the challenges of autumn and the cold to come.

A new look at an American triumphBarack Obama was 4 years old when the civil rights demonstration known

as Bloody Sunday took place on March 7, 1964. More than 600 blacks and civil rights workers had set off on a peaceful march in Selma, Ala., seeking voting rights for African Americans. Leading the march was John Lewis, then a young civil rights activist and now a Congressman from Georgia. Years later, Lewis described his experience:

There was no singing, no shouting — just the sound of scuffling feet. There was something holy about it, as if we were walking down a sacred path. It reminded me of Gandhi’s march to the sea. Dr. King used to say there is noth-ing more powerful than the rhythm of marching feet, and that was what this was, the marching feet of a determined people. That was the only sound you could hear.

At the crest of a bridge at the edge of town, the group suddenly encoun-tered a sea of state troopers in gas masks, armed with whips and night-sticks. The troopers ordered the marchers to disperse. When the marchers refused to do so but instead knelt to pray, the troopers charged, spraying tear gas and beating the marchers with sticks. Lewis suffered a fractured skull.

The violence appeared on American TV screens that night, when ABC News broke into its Sunday night movie with a 15-minute special report.

“For millions of Americans, the sight of peaceful protesters being clubbed and gassed in Selma disturbed the foundations of American indifference no less than Gandhi inspired Indians and unnerved the British,” writes New Yorker Editor David Remnick in his new book, The Bridge.

Upset by the spectacle, a few days later President Lyndon Johnson delivered to Congress “the most ringing endorsement of civil rights ever by a sitting President,” according to Remnick, an endorsement followed by sweeping civil rights legislation.

And 45 years later, Barack Obama became the nation’s first African-American president.

The Bridge: the Life and Rise of Barack Obama, is a powerful and moving look through a racial lens at Obama’s improbable story. Beginning with the Selma march and ending at the Obama inauguration, the book includes new and fascinating information about not only Obama but also those who laid the groundwork for his election, including civil rights heroes like Lewis along with unknowns like the African-American slaves who built the White House. It examines Obama’s profound awareness of his place in the greater story of human rights. When on Inauguration Day John Lewis asked Obama for an autograph to honor the historic occasion, Obama wrote, “Because of you, John. Barack Obama.

In the year and a half since that day, the country has faced one seem-ingly insurmountable challenge after another: the economic crisis, growing political polarization, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, joblessness and an ever-widening oil spill, to name a few. The Obama administration sometimes seems overwhelmed by its task, and the country seems increasingly weary and pessimistic.

But this book made me hopeful. It’s a great read. It enhanced my admira-tion for Obama and his remarkable intellectual and personal gifts. Most of all, the book reminds me of this country’s astonishing journey, in just four decades, from state-sanctioned violence against blacks to the election of an African-American president. It also illuminates the many, many acts of cour-age, faith and heart that led to that victory.

Some of those with courage were Antioch College students who traveled to the South in 1964 for Freedom Summer, to help register African-Ameri-can voters and start Freedom Schools. This month and next at the college, villagers can attend events that bring that time back to life, including docu-mentary films on the civil rights movement and tonight, July 15, the read-ing of letters from students who joined Freedom Summer. This event takes place at 7:30 in Herndon Gallery.

It’s a proud legacy for Antioch College. On the day that Barack Obama was inaugurated, John Lewis, now a longtime U.S. Congressman, said to author Remnick, “Barack Obama is what comes at the end of that bridge in Selma.”

ASTRONOMICALThe crescent Lily Moon waxes throughout

the period, entering its second quarter at 5:11 a.m. on July 18. Rising in the morning and setting in the middle of the night, this moon moves overhead in the evenings, opening all the remaining lilies in Yellow Springs.

Before midnight, the boxy constellation of Libra lies in the southwest (just behind Virgo and Saturn). Due south, the serpen-tine shape of Scorpio hosts bright Antares, and the teapot-shape of Sagittarius follows in the southeast. In the northeast, autumn’s Great Square is rising, and Cepheus rests east of the North Star. On the western side of Polaris, the Big Dipper stands between Cepheus and Leo.

WANING MIDDLE SUMMERFollowing the messages of the moon and

stars, blackberries redden, elderberries darken, the first katydids and night crick-ets sing, the early morning birds become quiet, and restless geese fly back and forth between farm ponds.

Bouncing bets, St. John’s wort, teasel, milkweed, late violet bergamot, gray-headed coneflowers, thin-leaved coneflow-ers, showy coneflowers, white vervain, wild lettuce, heliopsis, germander, skull-cap, great Indian plantain, blue vervain, wingstem, bull thistle, black-eyed Susans and small-flowered agrimony still hold the center of Middle Summer’s wide plateau.

Then the longest days of the Yellow Springs year shorten more quickly. Soft violet resurrection lilies begin their season as most other garden lilies disappear. This-tledown unravels more dramatically. Seed pods form on trumpet creepers. Catalpa beans are fat and long. Ragweed heads up as honewort and wood nettle, mallow and tall meadow rue go to seed. Early cotton-woods are weathering. Patches of bright yellow appear on the weaker ash and buck-eye and white mulberry and locust trees.

Black walnut leaves start to fall. Early pods of the touch-me-not burst at the slightest movement. Meadowlarks begin

Finding love at workshopYou never know what is going to happen

at the Antioch Writers’ Workshop. You might learn a new verse technique that will lead to a next book. You may hear or read a type of fiction that will change the direction of your writing forever. You may learn that those precious lines you have cherished since high school are not as earth-rattlingly rare as you had believed. A good teacher may be able to make sugges-tions that will change both your work and your life. You might meet an editor who really, really wants to see more of your work. Maybe you will meet a writer who has a friend of a friend who publishes a journal that is looking for essays on your current topic. You may learn that finding a publisher of books is getting harder and that all that stuff about online publishing and self-publishing and marketing doesn’t look so bad.

But other things can happen too. Twenty years ago I went into the AWW poetry class with the intention of becom-ing a better translator of Japanese poetry. Still, I had a few original poems in my bag as well. I sat down with the dozen or so others and we began to read our poems. My eyes went immediately to the fun lady with a snazzy haircut who wrote

delightful poems. We later talked over coffee. I learned that she, too, was living in Ohio, not all that far away. One night, after the evening session, she just hap-pened to lose her car keys and, of course, needed a ride. Next, she and a friend hinted that they would really love a tour of the famed Oregon District of Dayton. Of course, I offered to guide them. After the workshop, it was poetry exchanges with that lady with the unusual name of Jonatha. Then, after many phone calls and camping trips, we were married a year later in a quiet outdoor ceremony in a state park. We still exchange poems on our anniversaries.

Jonatha and I do publish our work, sometimes coauthored, but have moved more and more into the wonderful world of storytelling. The skills we learned at the AWW have helped us so much in terms of structure and the plotting of our told tales. We may not have become rich and famous because of the workshop experience, but we are truly living “happily ever after.” You never know what will happen at that famed Antioch event.

The Japanese tanka form of poetry has been used for over a thousand years to express love, both by men and women. With all the writers now wandering around Yellow Springs, I am reminded of a poem by Ono no Komachi, a ninth century woman who is considered the most “passionate” of all the ancient poets:

Hito ni awamu tsuki no naki yo wa omoiokite mune hashri hi ni kokoro yakeori

Longing to meet him on this night of no moonlight I wake in desire;My breast leaps forth in flames, my heart consumed by fire.

Enjoy the show!I have a watercolor exhibit hanging in

The Winds Cafe through Sunday, July 25. To help support the creative efforts of YSKP, I will give 50 percent of the next painting purchased to YSKP. This year’s production, The Conference of the Birds, truly allows each of the cast to showcase their abilities. The music, the set, the cos-tumes, the song and dance, the performers; all are mesmerizing. Please come enjoy the show July 15–18 at the Antioch Amphi-theater at 7:30 p.m.

Sea Dog donationsWe are writing this letter for two reasons.

First, we want to thank the people of Yellow Springs for their generosity in donating to the Sea Dogs fundraiser yard sale. We have a tremendous amount of merchandise. We also want to thank Jonathan Brown for his use of the Union Schoolhouse property and space and the GEC for providing storage for us.

Second, when the sale is over this Sat-urday at 3 p.m., we are sure to have left-overs. We would like to offer those to any organization which will be having a yard sale fundraiser or can use them to help the residents of Yellow Springs. We see no sense in driving to another community to donate items when surely there are folks here in Yellow Springs who can use them. Please contact us at 545-4729 if you are interested. Thank you so much.

—Cheryl Meyeron behalf of the Sea Dogs

Impressed by YSKPIf the weather or something else kept you

away, you missed the opening weekend of this thoughtful new production from YSKP. But be heartened! There is still another weekend to make it: Thursday–Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the amphitheater on Corry Street. How amazing to see these 20 young people perform such a complex play, and also be puppeteers! The visuals, the music, complex harmonies, talents of our young people — all brought forth through the guidance of our professional artists — who have all been working in this dastardly summer heat these past four weeks. The greatest compliment or gift you could give to our young people and our artists is to come see the show this weekend! You will be impressed and, as always, moved.

—Roger BealYSKP board president

Small town trustI wanted to express my gratitude to

the town and to the Yellow Springs police force for returning a lost camera to me over the Fourth of July weekend. I was in Yellow Springs for my 20th high school class reunion, and misplaced my camera somewhere in Gaunt Park during the fire-works. It had pictures of people I hadn’t seen in decades, and I was quite disap-pointed when I realized it was missing. I told my friend that I wasn’t worried, though — “this is Yellow Springs, and it will turn up somehow.” Before I had a chance to go down to the police headquarters and see if it had been found, they had looked through the pictures, found one of my friends, con-firmed my identity and dropped it off at my Mom’s house. My faith in the people of this lovely town was re-confirmed — it truly never crossed my mind that it had been “stolen” and I was sure I would be reunited with it eventually. I didn’t expect it to be returned so quickly, though.

Thank you again for your detective work, and for being the kind of town where the police recognize people who aren’t on a most-wanted list.

Some tax drop, but hope for future

State Physicians, which closed its clinic in Yellow Springs last year, so that the Village lost the clinic’s almost $4,000 in withholding tax; and the College Revival Fund, which provided $11,435 in withholding income tax from funding Nonstop in 2009 and only $688 in 2010 since the alumni are no longer funding the venture due to the re-opening of Antioch College.

Some of the income tax declines were made up in the first par t of 2010 by increases from other tax contributors, mainly from individuals and some smaller Yellow Springs businesses, including Ertel Publishing and Rita Caz Jewelry Studio, along with several companies providing contracted help for local companies or tem-porary help for local Village projects.

Feeling positive about futureThe most significant good economic

news in the village is the rebirth of Antioch College, according to Cundiff. The college, which re-opened in September 2009 and currently has about 30 employees, expects to expand as it heads toward welcoming its first group of new students in the fall of 2011.

“The college coming back is nothing but positive,” Cundiff said. “It’s not a magic pill that will solve everything, but it will go a long way.”

The growing college will contribute withholding income taxes to the Village — so far in 2010, the Village has not received income tax from the revived col-lege — and a growing student body will help to strengthen downtown businesses, according to Cundiff, who also sees many potential “spin-offs” from college creative and intellectual efforts.

Board approves special ed contractbers Lapedes and himself, administrators Armocida and Weller, and representatives from the teachers and staff unions had produced an agreement to work collab-oratively on addressing the budget crunch. The meeting followed a letter that Creigh-ton wrote for the board requesting that the unions agree to re-open negotiations with the possibility of freezing salaries.

“The unions are working to educate their members on the severity of the situation,” Creighton said, stating that in August the unions will vote on whether to re-open the negotiations.

In other board business:• Board members expressed their grat-

itude to Armocida, who was leaving his interim position at the end of the week. Armocida stepped in last August after the sudden departure of former Superintendent Norm Glismann. He had been retired for several years after serving as the Yellow Springs superintendent for 10 years.

“We’ve known each other many years,” said Wright. “We could always depend on you to come through.”

Armocida thanked the board for its sup-port and said, “As I walk out of here, you’re dealing with the future rather than clearing up the past. You have a really good admin-istrative team.”

A college town is also attractive for retirement communities, and with the amount of unused land on the Antioch Col-lege campus, “we would be a good market for something like that, with a compact and walkable downtown,” he said.

Cundiff is also exploring opportunities for the village to link up with the supply chain of alternative energy production, possibly attracting manufacturers of some of the “widgets” that go into solar or wind energy, he said, stating that he recently attended an Ohio Department of Devel-opment presentation on the topic.

Another area that seems a good fit for the village is “anything that can use an agri-cultural product,” such as organic foods, according to Cundiff, who said a micro-brewery is currently looking to launch in town.

Wildman has on deck some interesting possibilities that he could not be specific about at this point, Cundiff said, and she’s also working to help strengthen current local businesses.

While he’s cautious, Cundiff said that in general he believes the Village is doing better than most small municipalities, and that the future looks promising.

“I still have my fingers crossed that things are getting better,” he said.


In the past few months, the district has hired a new superintendent, treasurer and principals of both Yellow Springs High School/McKinney and Mills Lawn.

The board approved new superintendent Mario Basora as interim superintendent from July 12 to July 31. Basora’s official contract begins on Aug. 1. The board also approved a contract that allows Armocida to provide mentoring to Basora as needed up to 30 hours, at $70 per hour.

• The board is sponsoring “meet and greets” for Basora and his family, with six to 10 scheduled so far, according to Mer-hemic. She asked that villagers interested in hosting an event contact her.

• The board approved several non-district employees as coaches for fall sports, “to be paid at a rate existing at the completion of the season, contingent upon completing all ORC and ODE employment requirements.” The board approved contracts for Clayton Brady, eighth-grade volleyball coach; Adrian Cosby, assistant girls soccer coach; Jim Hardman, head boys soccer coach; Christine Linkhart, reserve volleyball coach; Mike Reichert, golf coach; Vince Peters, cross country coach; Ben Van Ausdal, assistant boys soccer coach; Angelo Caliguiri, head girls soccer coach; Craig McCann, head football coach, and Neal Perry, assistant football coach. Coaches approved on a volunteer basis were Judy Parker, seventh-grade vol-

leyball coach; Roberta Perry, site manager; Jessica Zagory, cross country coach; and Isabelle Dierauer, cross country coach.

The hiring of coaches for fall sports had sparked concern at a recent board Committee of the Whole meeting from community members who questioned why coaches were being hired when non-athletic co-curriculars were scheduled to be cut from the budget as a cost-cutting measure. At the earlier meeting, board members said they would look closely at co-curricular cuts. The July 8 co-curricular contracts were those necessary for fall sports to begin on time, according to Armocida.

• The board approved the hiring of sub-stitute teachers John Gill, Mark Franks, Susan Hyde, Pegeen Laughlin, Tif fany Pikas, Shirley Martin, Kathy Robertson, Barbara Nooks, Lillian Slaughter and Rebecca Traeger, at $80 per day. The board approved substitute aides Pegeen Laughlin, Shirley Martin and Susan Hyde at $10 per hour, and Robert Libecap as substitute bus driver at $13.43 per hour.

• Creighton announced that the board will meet with the Yellow Springs Village Council on Thursday, Aug. 26, in order to discuss the two groups’ common goal of bringing new young families to Yellow Springs.

• The board’s next regular meeting is Thursday, Aug. 12.

Glen Helen fundraiser dinner—

Finally, a use for honeysuckleBy Lauren Heaton

When the barred owl sings its inquisitive call “whoo cooks for you?” this weekend, the folks at Glen Helen will have an answer. At a long dinner table at the Raptor Center on Sunday, July 18, area diners in support of the Glen will sit down to enjoy a meal whose origins are both known and local with the area chefs and farmers who grew and prepared the food.

While tickets to the Glen’s first sus-tainable food fundraiser for the Glen’s Raptor Center will likely be sold out, villag-ers have another way to get involved. Local engineer and builder Dennis Moore hand-crafted three chairs from the spindly wood of the invasive honeysuckle during the most recent clearing event in the Glen. The chairs, built with mortise and tenon joinery, will be auctioned off at 6 p.m. on Sunday evening, and preregistered callers from the outside are welcome to participate.

The auction will begin at $100, and par-ticipants who want a chance to get one of the chairs should preregister online at www.whoocooksforyou.org/ or by calling Liz Schneiders at 769-1902. A volunteer at the dinner on Sunday will represent outside participants by cell phone during the live auction. The chairs have already stirred interest on the Glen’s Facebook page, according to the Glen’s volunteer coor-dinator Jenny Montgomery, who hopes that the auction can extend the experience of the event beyond the reach of this year’s maximum dining capacity of 50 guests.

Moore, a lifelong woodworker, began building honeysuckle chairs about five years ago. He helped Glen Trail Manager George Bieri to harvest the wood from areas near the Glen Helen Building and the Outdoor Education Center and then used the natural trunks for the frame of the chairs, splitting only the wood for the seats, and spending about 30 hours total on each chair. The wood is untreated but is as unpopular with insects as it is with land stewards, and is likely to last well beyond the five-year-old chair that Moore uses to demonstrate what can be done with the rejected honeysuckle brush, he said.

The Glen hopes to raise about $10,000 from the fundraising event from ticket sales, auction proceeds and private spon-sorships, Glen Helen Ecology Institute Director Nick Boutis said this week. The funds will help support the Raptor Center’s $50,000 annual operating expenses, and could become an annual event.

Reba Gordon died on Friday, July 9, at the Friends Care Community. She was 96.

Reba was born February 4, 1914, in Proskurov, Ukraine, the daughter of Morris Sanders and Mollie Eisenstein Sanders. Fleeing anti-Semitism in Proskurov, her family left for America. Because Morris became sick on the way, they spent four years in Poland where their visas expired. Migrating to Cuba in 1922 made them eligible to enter the U.S. on a Cuban quota.

While in Havana Reba attended public school, learned Spanish, and ate her first orange. She never forgot how the Cubans peeled this fruit: removing the top half of the skin in a circular peel, leaving the bottom half to grasp as they walked down the street sucking its juice.

In 1924 Reba and her parents came to the United States where they settled in Manhattan. Even though she was now 10, Reba was placed in first grade because she didn’t speak English, only Russian, Yiddish and a bit of Spanish. As her English improved Reba moved

culture, food must be consumed where it is grown, and local chefs are the key to making the local fare attractive for local diners, Boutis said. The fundraising dinner features chefs from the Winds Cafe and Dayton’s The Meadowlark, Rue Dumaine, Dorothy Lane Market and Seasons Café & Bistro, and area growers such as Orion

Organics, Blue Jacket Dairy, Flying Mouse Farms, Morning Sun Farms and Peach Mountain. The event is a celebration of the connection between the land and the people who derive their sustenance from it, Boutis said.

“It all derives from taking care of habitats and taking care of the earth,” he said.

Reba Gordonalong in school quickly, and eventually graduated from high school with her agemates. She subsequently graduated from New York University in the teeth of the Depression, then took a job doing office work in the garment industry. She earned $12 a week, but felt lucky to be working.

Reba’s lifelong passion for classical music and opera was shared by her hus-band, Meyer, a lawyer and furrier whom she married in 1938. Reba and Meyer both played an active role in progres-sive causes throughout their marriage. Meyer died in 1987. At a memorial ser-vice Reba said of her husband, “He was a man who valued much in life — but not the usual things. He valued his children — he valued music — he valued ideas and ideals. As someone else said at another time and place — he did not cut his conscience to the fashion of the times — and more you cannot say of any man.”

Reba and Meyer had two daughters, Jane and Muriel. Before their daugh-ters began high school, Reba returned to work as a bookkeeper so they could attend Antioch College. During decades of work Reba saved enough not only to help with the education expenses of her children and grandchildren but also to expand her own horizons with extensive travel. Well into her 80s, Reba visited a wide range of countries in the Far and Middle East, South America and other parts of the world.

In 2003, Reba’s final trip took her to Yellow Springs where she lived in the Friends Care Community. While there, Reba took walks for as long as she could, and enjoyed visits from her children and grandchildren. Hers was a life well spent. Reba Gordon is survived by daughters Jane Gordon and Muriel Keyes, Muriel’s husband Ralph Keyes, her grandchil-dren Jeremy, Rachel, David and Scott, Rachel’s husband Steve Crowther and a great-grandchild, Bruce Crowther.

Sea Dogs fry Fighting FishBy Eli Hurwitz

The Yellow Springs Sea Dogs swam strongly against the Forest Ridge Fight-ing Fish. It was easy to see the Sea Dog teamwork in the meet’s relay events; the Sea Dogs won 11 of the 16 that they swam. Aman Ngqakayi not only won three races in his age group, but he also swam with the 15-and-over medley relay team in their winning race. Brothers matched sisters at this meet, as Emma Reed and Youssef Reed, Evalynn Orme and Theon Orme all brought home five ribbons apiece for different events. Amélie Maruyama continued her winning streak in the girls six-and-under events, winning two first-place ribbons. Sam Lewis quickly swam to a freestyle victory in the boys six-and-under race. Now that we are in the middle of the season, the swimmers are getting faster at all of their events. Zoey McKinley swam her 200-meter individual medley 10 seconds faster than her best time. Fatou Reed, who swam her first event two weeks ago, has sped her 25-meter free-style swim 10 seconds faster. At the end of the meet, our young villagers swam so fast the sun was still shining on them at the end of a wonderful meet.

Results of the July 6 meet for the girls and, for ages 6 and under: Amélie Maruyama, first, 25 back, 25 free; Gabrielle Perkins, second, 25 free; and Fatou Reed, third, 25 free. For ages 8 and under: Annabelle Edwards, third, 25 back; Carson Haught, first, 25 free relay, second, 25 back; Eden Spriggs, first, 25 free relay, 25 back, second, 25 breast, 25 fly; Jude Meekin, first, 25 free

Running champs start campBy Lauren Heaton

Running may be one of the most natural, intuitive sports there is, but doing it well isn’t as easy as it seems. Two recent Yellow Springs High School graduates, Sam Borch-ers and Evan Firestone, learned a lot about distance running before going on to win state and national championships in their track and cross country events. They are returning to the village next week to pass on their skills to young hopefuls aiming to improve on their natural abilities.

The Miami Valley Trail Life Distance Run-ning Camp is a one-week intensive training experience for runners in grades seven through 12. The residential camp is based on the Antioch College campus, where par-ticipants will reside, eat their meals, attend lectures and leave for their daily regimen of runs throughout the village and in Glen Helen and John Bryan State Park.

Borchers and Firestone conceived of the camp based on Borchers’ experience coaching at a youth running camp the past two summers at Penn State, where he is heading into his senior year as a member of the track and cross country teams. Borch-ers and Firestone, who is a senior at Wright State University, set the Division III state record in the two-mile relay in 2007 with teammates Andy Peters and Alexis Onfroy. Borchers later earned recognition as the top high school miler in the country and

Football begins soonYSHS football practice will begin Wednes-

day, August 4, 5–7 p.m. Those interested in playing should call coach Craig McCann at 532-5111. Physicals will need to be com-pleted by that time, and will be offered on Thursday, July 29, 6–8 p.m. at Greene Memorial Hospital.

Volleyball clinic to startThe Yellow Springs schools will host a

morning girls volleyball clinic July 19–23 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Yellow Springs High School gym. The clinic is for area girls entering the sixth, seventh or eighth grade next fall and living in Yellow Springs or attending Yellow Springs schools. Students will learn basic skills and/or improve their play. There is no charge, however a registration form must be completed on or before July 19 to attend. For more details or the registration form go to www.ysviewpoint.com or contact Coach Parker 767-1975.

Twins on top in Major LeagueBy Tim Sherwood

Indians push to win MinorsIn the Minor League last week, the Indians

pushed their record to 8–0 with a pair of wins to keep their spot at the top going into the final week of play. The Indians pounded out 24 hits in their first win of the week, an 18–8 defeat of the Dragons on Wednesday, July 7. Hayden Orme, Parker Bleything, and Tony Marinelli all scored three runs, with Dimi-tri Wallace, Brandon Pollock and Tristan Campbell adding a pair of runs each. David Walker, Eric Romohr, Jackson Bleything and Sam Lewis all scored once. Charlotte Snare led the Dragons, scoring with a pair of runs, with Jeff Crawford, Ben Pontius, Sean Adams, Grant Arnold, Sam Bloom and Lucas Sansom all adding a run.

The Indians’ second victory, a 12–5 win over the third-place Pirates, came Saturday, July 10, in a rain-delayed game. Two runs were scored each by Orme, Campbell, Fisher Lewis and Marinelli, with Romohr, Walker, Jackson Burmester and brothers Parker and Jackson Bleything each adding a run. Meanwhile Caden Johnson of the Pirates scored twice, while Aamil Wagner, Joseph Minde-Berman and Maleah Gill-man-Baggett each crossed the plate for a

single run scored.The final regular season game will be

this Friday, July 16, at 7 p.m., when the Reds take on the Indians. The Reds remain in second place at 5–3, with the Pirates in third at 4–4, followed by the 0–8 Dragons.

The post-season tournament star ts Saturday, with the Indians and Dragons playing at 10 a.m., followed by the Reds and Pirates at 11:45. The winners of each game will then face off for the championship under the Gaunt Park lights on Saturday evening at 7 p.m.

Twins have a hold on MajorsThe Major League’s Twins continue to

be the team to beat. They added three more wins last week to strengthen their hold atop the standings at 7–0. The first win of the week was the team’s closest one yet, squeaking by the Athletics 3–2 on Wednesday, July 7. Each team scored a pair of runs in the second, from Bryce White and Cameron Haught for the Twins and Jonathon Elam and Grant Reigelsperger for the A’s. Both teams’ defense then held the other scoreless until the bottom of the ninth when Joe Thorpe singled and crossed the plate for the winning run on Aaron Harshaw’s hard hit RBI triple.

Earlier in the week, the A’s were on the winning side of a late rally when they

downed the Royals 12–10. Tied at 10 going into the final frame, the A’s tough pitching and defense retired the inning’s three Roy-als batters in order. Then in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and Isaiah Taylor on base, the A’s Ian Chick smashed a walk-off home run, his second of the contest, to seal the win. Eric Lawhorn led the Royals with three runs scored, followed by Sam Crawford and Joe Plummer with two each and single runs from Adam Green, Jacob Whetsel and Nathan Hardman.

The Twins notched their second win of the week by outlasting the Royals 7–2 on Saturday, July 11. They jumped out to an early 4–0 first inning lead, and Jared Scarf-pin went on to lead the Twins with three runs scored off two walks and a double, fol-lowed by Joe Thorpe’s pair of singles that led to two runs. The Royals Eric Lawhorn and Nathan Miller scored once each.

The week’s third victory by the Twins came on Sunday, July 12, with a 10–0 shut-out of the Athletics. J.T. Clark and Liam Weigand each scored a pair of runs.

The Twins remain first at 7–0, followed by the Royals at 2–5 and the A’s at 2–6. Major League games are played on Sat-urdays at 10:30 a.m., Sundays at 5 p.m. and Wednesdays at 7 p.m. at Gaunt Park.

last year became one of the top 15 colle-giate runners in the country in the 800 and posted a Big Ten championship victory in the 1500-meters.

The organizers’ reputations precede them, and with a history of working well together to attain their goals, Borchers, Firestone and Peters, along with a hand-ful of their collegiate friends, will run the camp, cook the meals, give the lectures and pass on their knowledge and experience to help shape future athletes.

“I’m excited because a lot of kids ask me questions about things like what to eat and how to practice, and I have to tell them, ‘No, you can’t eat that way’ and ‘No, you can’t double your mileage in a week,’” Borchers said. Now he gets a chance to tell a group of aspiring runners all together what they can do to improve their performance and reach for their goals.

Camp leaders plan a daily schedule that includes an early morning “shake-out” run and stretches before breakfast in the cafe-teria, followed by a lecture on everything from nutrition to motivation and goal set-ting. The morning and evening track ses-sions could include runs along the Glen’s 25 miles of nature trails or John Bryan State Park’s variable terrain, and some will be in conjunction with a practice of the Miami Valley Track Club, led by Vince Peters, who is a long-time YSHS cross country and track coach, a collegiate NAIA coach and

The Sea Dogs will be swimming away against Green Valley Thursday, July 15. Those who would like to support the swim team and attend will find directions on the Sea Dog Web site, sites.google.com/site/ysacseadogs. The team will also run its annual yard sale fundraiser on Saturday July 17.

the USATF chairman and USA Olympic Trials committee member.

The camp runs from Monday, July 19, through Thursday, July 22, and costs $190–$250 per person. With 20 male and female athletes signed up so far from the Dayton area and some from Pennsylvania, Borchers needs at least 30 to start break-ing even on the costs for food and facility rental, he said this week. And he especially hopes to get local runners to sign up for the experience as well.

Borchers is eager to get this first year trial off the ground so that he can continue to improve the model in the future. And he is particularly enthusiastic about passing on the powerful experience of working with a team to achieve. A team doesn’t win with just one great runner, but rather relies on the individual strengths of all of its runners who motivate each other and can earn not just first place but also crucial second, third, and fourth place positions to win together, Borchers said. The leaders of that team need skills to recruit, motivate and strat-egize in order to achieve success, he said.

“Leaders know how to build up a team, and I’m hoping to use this camp to build leaders,” he said.

For registration and other camp infor-mation, go to www.miamivalleytrackclub.org/XC_Camp/Information.html or call Sam Borchers at 689-2459.
