DAYTON — The GoodwillEaster Seals Miami Valleyorganization held its secondannual gathering for the RadioReading Service at theVandalia Art Van Atta Park onSunday, Sept. 22. The eventserves as a gathering of thosewho read for the service andlisteners who are recipients of

the service.The Radio Reading

Service, which was startedapproximately 25 years ago,broadcasts readings of major,regional and local newspapersas well as magazines andbooks for visually impaired orphysical/developmental hand-icapped persons who areunable to read printed materi-al. RRS broadcasts out of theGESMV office 24 hours a

day, seven days a week. Livebroadcasts take place from 7a.m. until 6 p.m. on weekdaysand 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. onweekends. Recorded materialis used for the remainder ofthe day.

“I think for the listeners, itis an opportunity to put a faceto or shake the hand of theperson who is reading to themeach and every week,” saidRRS Program Manager Angie

Hoschouer. “They know thereader’s personality throughtheir voice. As for the readers,I think that they like theopportunity to meet the listen-ers to know that they are trulymaking a difference and thatsomeone is out there listeningto them. When volunteers arereading, they are in a studioreading into a microphone.After meeting the listener atthe picnic, they have theimage in their head of the per-son who is listening and theycan see them as if they arereading to them directly. It isalways a wonderful opportuni-ty for volunteers to see thefruits of their labor and thatincludes sharing a meal with alistener at a community pic-nic.”

One of those listeners isWanda Lorton, who has beenlistening to the RRS almosteveryday for seven years.Lorton has been able to iden-tify each of her readers bytheir voice.

“I think it’s very helpful(for) people to keep up withthings,” said Lorton.“Because that was my favoritepart of the day was reading thepaper. I would get up, get thepaper, fix my breakfast, sitdown and read the paper. Andthat’s how I found out I could-n’t see, I got up in the morn-ing, got the paper, opened itup and I couldn’t read.”

Readers will read the newsand sports sections of largenewspapers including USAToday and Wall Street Journalalong with the hard news,sports, opinion, editorial, life,entertainment and obituariesin the Dayton Daily News andSpringfield News Sun. Withlocal papers such as the

Vandalia Drummer News,Englewood Independent andthe Huber Heights Courier,readers will read headlinenews, sports and communityand current events.

“We read the entire paperand we break it down intothose sections so that every-body can get the full dailynewspaper,” Hoschouer said.

Those wishing to listen tothe service on a free radiomust call the GESMV officeat 937-528-6525 and com-plete a free application overthe phone or have someoneassist them with the comple-tion of an application atwww.gesmv.org. Once theapplication has been received,a RRS radio with a subcarrierfrequency module will bedelivered at no cost. A familymember or friend can alsopickup the radio at theGESMV studio in Dayton.

Historic Photo of the Month

From the archives of the Randolph Township Historical SocietyGrange Building. This photo, taken in 2001, shows the concrete block building erected in 1946 by Clayton’s “Just-A-

Mere” Grange. It is the first building east of the Janice Ward Center, which is at 235 E. Salem Street. The Grange build-ing now is owned by a church group. The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry is a fraternal organi-zation founded in 1867 to assist farmers whose livelihoods were devastated after the Civil War. It is organized into local,county, state, and national divisions. Today’s Grange still works toward the betterment of rural communities througheducational and legislative programs. The Clayton Grange was chartered in the late 1930s or early 1940s. At first, mem-bers met in the old I. O. O. F. Hall above Vane Wagner’s I. G. A. Store on Talmadge Avenue in the old village. Membershipincreased steadily and in 1946 the group erected this building. For decades, the Clayton Grange set up a display at theMontgomery County Fair. The historical society has three signs once used in the fair displays. When a fair-goer askedone of the grange members how the name was selected he said, “Well, it’s funny. When the grange first started, not manypeople were enthused about it. They kept saying, ‘It’s just a mere grange.’ Well it stuck and that’s what it’s been calledever since.” The “Just-A-Mere” Grange, No. 2658, disbanded about 1977, after the area it served lost its rural natureand became more urbanized. The Society is always interested in obtaining local historic photos. If you have similar itemsto share, please call 832-1858.

As the people of Coloradoare presently learning, it’shorrendous enough to sufferthe ravages of a natural dis-aster, but it’s doubly horrificto then be faced with a moredevastating unnatural disas-ter.

First came the epic floodsthat recently ripped throughthe front range, tearing uptowns, roads, waterways,mountain homes and busi-nesses, farms, and lives. Justawful.

But now comes the addedhorror of unknown levels ofpoisonous contaminantspouring out of many of thethousands of fracking sitesthat pock this area.

Big Oil frackers were

already notorious in Boulderand Weld Counties for theenvironmental, health, andeconomic damage beingdone by this ravagingmethod of forcing gas out ofthe rock deep under Earth’ssurface. Now, though, thecorporate wells, tanks,ponds, and other frackinginfrastructure have beenswamped by a tsunami of

floodwater and destructivedebris.

Even in the chaos of peo-ple scrambling to get out ofthe flood’s way and to securetheir property, many resi-dents were so alarmed byseeing this mess of floodedwells, overturned tanks ofhighly toxic chemicals andwastewater, and rupturedlines that they paused to takepictures and videos.

They then posted these onwebsites and Facebook pagesto document this unexpectedthreat of widespread, long-term damage from frackingcontaminants and to alertneighbors to the dangers.

After all, the frackersthemselves weren’t telling

the public about this unfold-ing disaster, the big mediaoutlets were curiously incuri-ous about it, and regulatorswere also silent. So, like thepamphleteers of old, the peo-ple formed their own net-work of communication —and they’ve now turned itinto a citizens’ action net-work. To see some of theirphotos, videos, and actions,go towww.facebook.com/EastBoulderCountyUnited.

I have a problem.My 7-pound poodle Tillie

won’t watch television.I think it would be nice if

she sat down with me in myfavorite easy chair andwatched the TV especially onrainy or snowy days when wecan’t spend much time out-doors.

The way I see it TV needssome programs that wouldappeal to Schnauzers, CockerSpaniels, Collies and evenplain old Heinz 57 varietypooches.

One option is to tweaksome past hit TV shows in away that would appeal todogs.

For openers, the titles ofthose old shows could be eas-ily changed to give them moredog-appeal.

I mean, what dog wouldn’twant to tune in re-runs of theTV series

titled “Waggin’ Train?”The same would be true

with a program named “TheLate Show with DavidLabrador.”

I’m thinking all sorts ofcanines would even get a kickout of some of the more popu-lar TV commercials like thosepromoting the Greyhound BusCo. or the ones hyping Oscar

Mayer hotdogs.Lots of humans dislike TV

re-runs but some dogs wouldlove them, especially if theshow was titled “All-timeGreat Boxers.”

Quite frankly, the possibili-ties of dog-appealing TVshows are endless.

They include:* Reruns of the musical

“Fiddler on the Woof ” or alive TV concert starring thetalented Joe Cocker.

* Reruns of the longtime hitshow “Kukla, Fran andCollie.”

* Dogs could also relate tomovies starring NicholasCage or Ellen Barkin.

While we are on the sub-ject, one show to avoid lettingyour dog view would be anyconcert featuring the music ofCat Stevens.

Washington is beginning todebate the proper extent ofgovernment eavesdroppingpowers in the wake of EdwardSnowden’s revelations aboutthe NSA. It’s hardly as robusta discussion as it should be,but it’s a desperately neededstart.

The colossal effort to mon-itor Americans’ communica-tions has been going on for atleast seven years, under twopresidents. It constitutes anexpansion of governmentpower without precedent inthe modern era. Yet whilesome members of Congresswere informed about it — andall had the opportunity tolearn — none saw an urgentneed for public discussion.This is astounding. It took theactions of a leaker to spur anyreal airing of the matter onCapitol Hill.

Even now, it seems unlike-ly that Congress will makesignificant policy changes.That’s because all the nation’skey actors and institutionsappear to approve of the sur-veillance programs. By itssilence, Congress clearly sup-ported them. Presidents Bushand Obama backed them. Theintelligence community, apowerful voice on nationalsecurity issues, has resolutelydefended them. The courtsthat are supposed to keepthem in line with theConstitution have been defer-ential to national security

authorities, raising a fewquestions from time to time,but in the end approving allbut a handful of tens of thou-sands of data-gatheringrequests.

And the American people,by their lack of widespreadoutrage, have signaled that inthis one case, at least, theybelieve the government canbe trusted to keep us safe.

In short, Congress — theforum where issues of suchnational importance shouldbe hashed out — missed itschance to lead a reasonednational debate over howextensive we want surveil-lance over Americans’ com-munications to be. It’s unlike-ly that genie can ever againbe forced back into its bottle.

Yet even the director ofnational intelligence, JamesClapper — who once deniedpoint-blank to Congress thatthe government collects dataon millions of Americans —now sees the need for somesort of change. “We can dowith more oversight and give

people more confidence inwhat we do,” he said in a mid-September speech.

Yes, indeed. Here’s theproblem: once given power,the government rarely yieldsit. So you have to think notonly about its present use, buthow it will be used a decadeor even more from now. Evenif you concede that the cur-rent administration and itsintelligence leadership havebeen responsible stewards ofthe powers they’ve been given— and I don’t — that is noguarantee that the people whofollow them, or the peoplewho come after that, will beequally trustworthy.

This means that Congresshas some challenging workahead. It needs to restore theproper balance betweeneffective intelligence-gather-ing and intrusion intoAmericans’ privacy. It needsto demand more thoroughgo-ing accountability from theintelligence community. Itneeds to exercise greateroversight and insist on moretransparency, more informa-tion, and more constraint onsurveillance programs —defining what is truly rele-vant to an investigation, cre-ating more stringent defini-tions of which communica-tions are fair game, and find-ing ways to assure Americansthat protecting their privacyand civil liberties need notmean the wholesale vacuum-

ing-up of every domesticphone and email record inexistence.

There is no place for thetimidity Congress has shownso far on these issues.

Our system depends on avigorous Congress. Theadministration argues that itcan provide rigorous intelli-gence-gathering oversight,but it has yet to prove it cando so — and in our system ofchecks and balances, it’s notenough to have one branch ofgovernment overseeing itself.Congress, the courts, and thepresidentially appointedPrivacy and Civil LibertiesBoard all have to step up totheir responsibilities.

Americans should demandaction to strike a better bal-ance between privacy andsecurity. In the past, the con-gressional overseers of theintelligence community havebeen captivated, if not cap-tured, by the people they’resupposed to be supervising.Same with the courts. Andthe administration has hardlybeen forthcoming. Thatmeans it’s up to the Americanpeople to insist that our lead-ers do their jobs. It’s no lesstrue today than it was at ourfounding: the price of libertyis eternal vigilance.

Lee Hamilton is Directorof the Center on Congress atIndiana University. He was amember of the U.S. House ofRepresentatives for 34 years.

Last week I covered astory for the local newspaperabout a business that hasbeen in downtown Xenia,Ohio for more than 70 years.To celebrate, the chamber ofcommerce held a ribbon cut-ting attended by the usualfare of friends, associates anddignitaries, all wanting eitherto sincerely congratulate theproprietors or mug their wayinto the photo op. Whatevertheir reasons for attending, itwas refreshing to see peopletaking an interest in a smalltown’s revitalization.

Every day local govern-ments offer tax breaks andother perks designed toattract new businesses to set-tle in their region, the obvi-ous benefits to which arejobs and tax revenue. A goodidea, of course, but whilethey’re building new stripmalls on one end of town, thedowntown sits empty andabandoned leaving the samegovernment officials to puz-zle over what to do withempty, decaying buildings.So why not provide moreincentive for businesses tolocate in existing downtownareas before adding moresprawl? For those alreadythere, encourage them to stayrather than making it easierfor them to move into the lat-est strip mall.

Some communities sprangup from joined housing

developments but for thoselike Xenia, Bellbrook,Jamestown and Fairborn,there is history, culture andcharm still to be reclaimed.It’s truly puzzling why thereis not more incentive to dowhat Xenia’s business own-ers are doing very well –revitalize and rejuvenate thedowntown.

Most confusing of all isthe approval by local govern-ments of sprawling mega-malls like The Greene, inKettering, or is itBeavercreek? I’m not sureeven they know where theyare located. The brick walk-ways and old-fashionedstreet lights illuminating anarray of sidewalk cafes andspecialty shops weredesigned to look just like olddowntown shopping squaresthat have long since beenabandoned.

While they might addsomething to the local jobmarket, these monster mallswith their fake skylines, con-gested parking lots and

Segway-riding rent-a-cops,do little to enhance the com-munity. The sad thing is,eventually, the buildings goout of style and repulse newcustomers after a dozen yearsor so.

When Beavercreek’s Mallat Fairfield Commons firstopened, it was all the rage; nomore driving all the way outto Centerville or northwestDayton to shop at an indoormall. Today, there are hugeunoccupied spaces in all ofthe indoor retail behemothsas businesses either shutdown or move into newly-designed malls.

Believe it or not, “If youbuild it, they will come,”applies far more to retailsales than it ever did to acornfield baseball diamond,so build it downtown. Nomatter where you put thetemples of American glut-tony and materialism peoplewill find them and go to wor-ship the almightyAbercrombie.

City governments shoulddo more to help propertyowners attract major tenantsto the old downtown areas,particularly big mall-styleanchor stores. It would onlytake a couple of them to gen-erate more interest from oth-ers and grow revenue for theproperty owners and themunicipality.

Over the next month or so,

small town politicians will bescrambling to win over yourvote. Ask them the samequestions posed here. If wereally want to save our down-town areas, we have to start atthe government level.

Instead of spending timeand money worrying aboutridiculous issues like whethera store’s sign is wood or plas-tic, how about making it eas-ier and more attractive forbusinesses to locate in thedowntown areas? It really isthat easy.

A civic ambassador with ahigh-level business back-ground in national retail salescould help to develop a planof action and take it to com-panies like Macy’s andAbercrombie. Show themthat it’s possible to create thegenuine version of the fakeatmosphere so popular at theoutdoor malls. If it’s doneproperly, it would bring peo-ple downtown again to shop,eat and socialize.

Small business cannotsupport such efforts withouta few major players in theballgame. If there are to bemore 70-year old businessesdowntown, there needs to bea downtown for them to bein.

DAYTON — Maybe it wasaura of the idyllic autumnevening Friday at WelcomeStadium or maybe Northmontdidn’t take Dunbar seriously,but whatever the case theThunderbolts got off to a slug-gish start before eventuallytrouncing the Wolverines 47-8.

“We definitely started offslow tonight and I knew wewould,” said Northmont coachLance Schneider. “You couldsense that there was some-thing about this week, the waywe practiced, the way weplayed tonight. The attitudewe had like, ‘Oh, it’s justDunbar. We don’t need towork so hard.’We were not theteam I am used to seeing outthere. If we had played any

other team tonight, we wouldhave lost. The attitude willhave to change or it will be along conference season.” Ittook the Thunderbolts awhileto get rolling. On their secondpossession of the game the T-Bolts took over at Dunbar’s 47and took 10 plays to drive tothe Wolverines’ five whereChris Okos got Northmont onthe scoreboard with a 22 yardfield goal.

Zach Weatherford got theball back for Northmont withan interception. Weatherfordpicked off Dunbar quarter-back Chris Jackson’s pass atthe 35 and returned it to the15. Three plays later Okoskicked a 23 yard field goal toput Northmont up 6-0.

Northmont would eventual-ly generate 292 yards in totaloffense, but once again it wasdue in large part to seniorquarterback Graham Oberer.By night’s end Oberer wouldcomplete 15 of 21 passattempts for 231 yards withtwo touchdowns and oneinterception. He also rushedseven times for 31 yards.

On Northmont’s first pos-

session of the second quarterOberer tossed a 19 yardtouchdown to Ryan Smith toput the T-Bolts up 12-0.

Dunbar appeared headedfor its first score of theevening on its next possessionwhen quarterback TerranceLanders completed a 32 yardpass to Darnell Jewett to givethe Wolverines a first down atthe Northmont 36. Two playslater Northmont senior defen-sive back Isaiah Williamsintercepted Landers next passat the 21 and returned it 49yards to give the T-Boltsexcellent field position at theDunbar 30. On first downOberer completed a 21 yardpass to Jonny Lowery for afirst and goal at the nine.From there Ryan Smith took ahandoff and scored his secondTD of the evening. Northmontwent for a two-point conver-sion with Oberer hittingIsaiah Williams in the endzone with a pass to put theThunderbolts up, 20-0.

Dunbar put together adecent 54 yard drive but wasfaced with a fourth down andseven at the Northmont 11.

Apparently not confident inits kicking game, Dunbarwent for it on fourth down.Landers dropped back to passand was sacked by TevinNeilsen at the 26 where theThunderbolts took over ondowns.

On first down Oberertossed a 74 yard touchdown toCameron Taylor with 48 sec-onds remaining in the firsthalf. Jonathan Mourouziskicked the extra-point to givethe Thunderbolts a 27-0 half-time lead.

Dunbar’s hopes of turningthings around in the secondhalf were quickly quashed. Onthe Wolverines first posses-sion Terrance Landersdropped back to pass and tookaim for receiver DarnellJewett. Senior defensive backZach Weatherford picked offthe pass and raced 35 yardsfor the touchdown to increasethe T-Bolts’ lead to 33-0.Weatherford now leads theGreater Western OhioConference with five inter-ceptions in as many games.

Both teams exchangedfumbles with Isaiah Williamsrecovering Dunbar’s fumble,returning it three yards to givethe T-Bolts the ball at their

own 42. It took Northmontonly five plays to cover 58yards with Dante Bland scor-ing on a one yard run.Mourouzis point after enabledNorthmont to take a 40-0lead.

Keyshawn Jones returnedNorthmont’s kickoff 88 yardsfor the Wolverines lone touch-down of the evening. Dunbarscored a two point conversionon a run by Jacquel Freemanto make it 40-8.

Early in the fourth quarterTerrell Cochran forced aDunbar fumble which JoeSexton scooped up at theWolverines’ 15 and returned itto the 10. From there Obererran the ball in for a touch-

down on first down.Mourouzis tacked on the pointafter to make the final tally,47-8.

“Our defense played but, Idon’t really want to say it, butthey really didn’t have a lot todefend. Our offense was justnot there tonight, despite thefinal score,” Schneider added.

With the victoryNorthmont improves to 4-1overall while Dunbar falls to2-3.

CLAYTON – During a tri-match Monday on the frontnine at Moss Creek GolfCourse the Northmont boysgolf team shot a respectableteam score of 174 to defeatTipp City, but that score was-n’t good enough to beat Troy.

The Trojans shot a stellar159 led by Dalton Cascadenwith a 37, Troy Moore had a38 and Connor Super came inwith a 40. Northmont was ledby sophomore ShawnRichards with a 41, seniorClayton Swafford had a 44,sophomore Ben Sage alsoshot 44 and sophomore LukeKnapke finished with a 45.Tippecanoe finished at 180led by Brad Cohoun with a 39while Wyatt Wilson shot 45.

Coach Nathan Hannahan’sseason long goal is to break170 in a 9-hole tournament.

“We fell just a few strokesshort in the final weeks of theseason, but I’m very opti-mistic that we will pursue

scores in the 160s next seasonand break 170 many times in2014,” Hannahan said. “Weare only five to seven shotsaway from being very com-petitive. If can buckle down

over the off season and get lit-tle bigger, stronger and betterwith our young players we aregoing to be a team to be reck-oned with.”

With a team featuring sixsophomores the prospect ofimproved scores next seasonseems likely after the experi-ence those players gained dur-ing the 2013 campaign.Shawn Richards is the topsophomore player whoHannahan sees as the founda-tion of next season’s program.

On September 16 theThunderbolts scored a majorvictory over Miamisburg, atop team in the GreaterWestern Ohio ConferenceSouth Division. Miamisburgis the No. 2 team in the SouthDivision behind Springboro.The Thunderbolts beat theViking 180 to 188 on the frontnine at Moss Creek. JuniorGreg Peffley led Northmontwith round of 41 followed byBryce Timmons with a 45,Ben Sage shot 46 and LukeKnapke shot 48.

“Regardless of Miamisburgshooting a higher than anaverage score for their teamon nine holes we still had topost a solid score in order tobeat them,” Hannahan stated.“It was a nice win over a pow-erhouse team from theGWOC South.”

September 20 againstWayne at Moss Creek the T-Bolts shot their best round ofthe season with 172 butWayne still came out on topwith a score of 166. TheWarriors were led by SethStrong with a two-under par34 on the front nine whileDave Mohr shot a season best41.

Luke Knapke ledNorthmont with a 41, ShawnRichards shot 43, GregPeffley 44 and BryceTimmons also shot 44.

Last Thursday Northmontcompeted in the GWOCPostseason Tournament andrecorded a team score of 354,three stokes better than theThunderbolts GWOCPreseason Tournament scoreof 357. Northmont was led bythree sophomores, each ofwhich shot rounds in the 80s.Luke Knapke had an 86,Shawn Richards had an 88and Ben Sage had an 89.Senior Clayton Swafford inhis final GWOC match shot a91.

Looking forward to nextseason coach Hannahan said

he is very impressed by theplay of his young sophomoresand feels Northmont will be ateam to watch out for in theGWOC Central Division.

TIPP CITY — TheTippecanoe High footballteam has dedicated their sea-son to a special person thisyear - the late Billy Moore.

Moore passed away April20 at the age of 62 from stage4 melanoma cancer. He hadbeen fighting it since early2012, and even coached partof a season beforechemotherapy forced him toquit. But even though he hadto give up coaching, Moorenever gave up completely.

“He was always asking‘okay, what’s the next step,’”his daughter Denise Moorerecalled. “There was never

any giving up - that was notin his vocabulary.”

Moore passed on thattenacity to his players - hecame out of retirement tocoach the Tippecanoe line-backers under CharlieBurgbacher. Before that, hehad coached at bothVandalia-Butler and TroyHigh School.

“The kids really respondedto Bill’s coaching,”Burgbacher said in a previ-ous interview. “He had agreat rapport with the kids.”

According to Denise, Billybrought a laidback style tohis coaching.

Burgbacher added, “Hebrought a calming effect toour coaching staff.”

This season, all of the Tippfootball helmets have twostickers on them: both areblack circles with red initials.One is for Alkie Richards,the Red Devils head footballcoach from 1951-1964. Overhis career, Richards taughtand coached in Tipp City andTroy for a collective 30years. He passed away inFebrurary of this year. Theother sticker circle is forBilly.

At the first home gameagainst Greenville on Sept. 6,the Tippecanoe football play-ers walked out with a specialbanner that read “In Memoryof Coach Moore.” The ban-ner is a collage of picturesthroughout Billy’s coaching

days. The banner now hangsat the press box in the stadi-um. Before being hung, itwas presented to four ofBilly’s ex-athletes: AlexBaker, Greg Wasson, JimmyHall and Mike Moore.

Baker was a member ofthe class of 2012 forTippecanoe High School.Wasson was a wrestler onBilly’s team when hecoached at Vandalia-Butler,and now Wasson’s son Jarettplays for the Tipp footballteam. Jarett was one of theplayers who carried the ban-ner out onto the field.

Hall and Moore alsoworked under Billy whenthey were football players atVandalia-Butler. Hall has twosons who now play atTippecanoe: Jacob, a senior,and Alex, who is a junior.

Billy actually started outworking in Vandalia-ButlerHigh School. He graduatedfrom there in 1969 and wentback to teach in the district in1974. He taught physical sci-ence and life science atMorton Middle, and servedas the OWE coordinator atthe high school. He alsocoached for 13 years atVandalia-Butler in football,wrestling and baseball.

“I come into contact with alot of people - I can’t evencount the number - who livein Vandalia and know Billy

Moore,” Burgbacher said.“He touched a lot of lives.”

Billy’s net of lives touchedextended to Troy as well,where he served for 12 yearsas football defensive coordi-nator and linebacker coach.One of the players hecoached was Kris Dielman,who went on to become anoffensive lineman with theSan Diego Chargers. Billywas never committed to oneparticular NFL team - untilDielman became a Charger.For her dad’s birthday oneyear, Denise scored tickets toa Chargers/Colts game inIndianapolis.

A Family ThingDenise grew up with her

dad coaching - she wasalways with him out at foot-ball practice, and weekendswere spent at the games.

Come Saturdays, though,that was all about NotreDame. Denise grew up in aFighting Irish household.

“Mom is a football fanatic,too,” she said.

One of Denise’s best mem-ories was being able to takeher dad to a Notre Damegame. Once she graduatedfrom college and was hiredin Tipp City (Denise is aFrench teacher at the highschool), Denise and Billybegan a tradition to go toNotre Dame for a game oncea year.

“That was our thing,”Denise said, admitting theylet her mom Vicki come - butonly once.

This November, Denise,her boyfriend Ryan, who is acoach at Oakwood, and Vickiwill be making the trek againto Notre Dame in honor ofBilly.

Another more permanentway to honor his memory is afund Denise set up throughthe Tipp City AreaCommunity Foundations.They developed the “CoachBilly Moore Athletic Fund.”It is not a scholarship fund.Rather, the money is ear-marked for grants for foot-ball, wrestling and baseballcoaches: all the sports herdad coached. The coachescan request new equipment,new helmets, new jerseys,etc.

“This way the moneycomes back to the kids at theschool,” Denise said, addingthat it fits in with her dad’stheme “Fundamentals are thekey to success.”

To donate to the fund, senda check to with the memoline “Coach Billy MooreFund” to Tipp CityFoundations, P.O. Box 626,Tipp City OH 45371.
