Brookville

Scramble by Cafe 19 to Close

By

Dillon Allen, his girlfriend, Elizabeth Brunotte, and brother, John Allen opened this Brookville breakfast spot on May 31st.  Located at 302 Market Street, after having success with their coffee shops in Englewood  and  West Milton. The coffee shops had been successful and they  wanted to offer a full service eatery.
In mid-December they posted a rally call, asking for support on their Scramble by Cafe 19 Facebook Page:
” With food costs increasing this year quicker than we can adjust for, sales declining and weekend sales dropping off were in threat of closing our doors. I’m not too proud to say we need help and we’re coming to you for that.”
They had a solid response to they outcry, but in reality, it just wasn’t enough.
Today Dillon  posted this:
“Over the last couple weeks, we’ve been discussing the viability of what we set out to make with our scramble location.
Last week I was in a panic because of how bad our finances were with trying to fix this building.
What it came down to was we don’t have the capital, resources or traffic to pull off what needs to be done to fix all these issues. Rising food costs and slimmer margins have not helped either. Our costs of goods have gone up substantially this year and it makes it even harder to figure out another way to pull it off.
Our landlord has been so gracious to us, helping where he can, and this community has been so wonderful to us but it’s just not sustainable.
Our last day of operation at our Brookville location will be Saturday January 4th. Our Englewood and West Milton locations will remain open and any unused gift cards can be used at any of our other locations.
We hate to become another statistic of this location and I did everything in my power to not let it happen, we just don’t have the resources to continue on without taking everything down in the process.
Thank you all for the memories that scramble has made, the friends that we’ve made along the way and I hope to see you again!“

Tornado Personal Effects Reunion Page Launches

By

One of the most painful things about losing your home and belongings in a disaster, whether it be fire, flood or wind, is the loss of photos, personal momentos and childhood treasures. It’s the loss of those precious and irreplaceable items that cuts a particularly painful wound.

After the recent Dayton tornadoes, my friend and fellow Brookville High School alumni Ryan Wissinger, reached out from his current residence in Boise, Idaho. He was struck by stories he was hearing from in Brookville, where friends were finding family photos in fields miles away. Wanting to help in some way, but being hundreds of miles away, Ryan had an idea.

He started a Tornado Personal Effects Reunion Page on Facebook. Here people can post items that were found during clean ups or that blew onto other people’s property. People in search of treasured items can post what they are looking for as well. In the couple weeks since this page was established, local folks have posted images of historic photos, identification, stuffed animals, quilts, a wedding dress – and even a couple pets!

Our best wishes are with everyone who was effected by these devastating storms. Ryan and I hope that reconnecting people with their lost treasures will be a small reconciliation on the road to recovery.

The way this page is most effective is by joining and sharing, so please do so today: https://www.facebook.com/groups/334058030599309/

THE HISTORY OF THE TOURNAMENT:
The year was 1985.  The parents of former Carroll High School student Jennifer Lee Schmidt had reported their daughter missing from the area of Purdue University.  She was never found.

Concession profits went to charity

Carroll High School has tried to turn this heartbreak into a positive, by sponsoring a memorial Girls’ Tennis Tournament in Jennifer’s honor each year.

It was a great tournament, a good cause and a beautiful setting.

There was also a concession stand with doughnuts, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs run by our own Food Adventures Crew.  All proceeds from the concession stand benefitted the annual event and the Carroll HS Girls Tennis Team.

The Big Ragu, Chef House and Hungry Jax make up Dayton’s Food Adventure Crew.  You can find them writing articles on Dayton Most Metro almost every week since 2011.
