Halloween Candy Wrapper Recycling

By

Research shows that in the United States alone, more than 600 million pounds of candy are purchased each year for Halloween. The vast majority of candy wrappers end up in landfills due to an inability by most curbside recycling programs to recycle them. That’s where Rubicon comes in.

By participating in Trick or Trash™, you don’t have to trash those candy wrappers and doom them to an eternity in a landfill—or, even worse, in our oceans. Using one of our custom candy wrapper recycling boxes, you can help keep our planet clean and contribute to the circular economy.

LTC Charity Adams and the women of The Six Triple Eight Documentary Screenig

By

In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 black women from the Women’s Army Corps “WACs” to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the SixTripleEight, was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII.

Confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops, they served with honor and distinction completing their mission in six months. By war’s end, the SixTripleEight had cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home. The last of the women returned home in March 1946.

They were never fully recognized until now.

Join us as we honor former Dayton Ohio community leader Charity Adams and the women of The SixTripleEight with screening of the documentary created by Lincoln Penny Films.

 

LTC Charity Adams

The Six Triple Eight, a World War II film, shares the relatively-unknown story of the 6888, the Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during the war. Their mission: to clear the backlog of mail in Birmingham, England and Rouen, France. By war’s end the women, the unit had cleared over 17 million pieces of mail. The film was nominated for Best Documentary at the Charlotte Black Film Festival in April 2019. May 13-17, 2019, James and two producers of the film, traveled to England, courtesy of the US Embassy to screen the film at universities and venues throughout the UK. Dubbed the Six Triple Eight UK Tour, the film was well-received in England and Scotland.

By the end of WWII, LTC Charity Adams was the highest ranking African American female in the Armed Forces.

Monday’s Powerball Jackpot $1 billion!

By

The Powerball® jackpot has reached an estimated $1 billion ($497.3 million cash) for the next drawing on Monday, Oct. 31. This is the second time in Powerball’s 30-year history that the advertised jackpot has reached $1 billion.

If a player wins Monday’s jackpot, it will be the second largest jackpot in Powerball history, only behind the world record $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot, and fifth largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

Powerball tickets are $2 per play. Tickets are sold in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. More than half of all proceeds from the sale of a Powerball ticket remain in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Powerball drawings are broadcast live every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 pm from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Powerball drawings are also live streamed online at

For an additional $1 per play, the Power Play feature can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 times! The multiplier number is randomly selected just before each drawing.  The 10X multiplier is only in play when the advertised jackpot annuity is $150 million or less.

Did you know your odds of winning a prize are the same in every Powerball drawing?

Odds of winningYou have a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning a prize when the advertised jackpot is $40 million.

You still have a 1 in 24.9 chance of winning a prize when the advertised jackpot is $1 billion.

Even if there are more tickets sold in a particular drawing, your odds of winning a prize are the same.

Value of the Annuity

Jackpot winners can either select their prize as an annuity or a lump-sum payment.

Payments

 

If the annuity option is selected, the winner is guaranteed to receive 30 graduated payments over 29 years.

The annual payments increase by 5% until the 30th and final payment.

The 30 payments added up equal the value of the annuity.

American Revolutionary War Soldiers Monument Dedication

By

In 1941 on George Washington’s birthday February 22, a bronze plaque bearing the names of the 158 soldiers of the Revolutionary War who settled in Montgomery County and are buried in the same was unveiled and dedicated at the Old Dayton Courthouse. The Richard Montgomery Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) were in charge of the dedication and were assisted by members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Children of the American Revolution, Sons of Union Veterans, and Montgomery County Commissioners.

According to Curt Dalton of Dayton History and Lori Rotterman of the Dayton Metro Library, the plaque was removed during the Courthouse renovation between 2003 and 2005 and was taken to Memorial Hall for storage. It was rediscovered in January 2019 and Dayton History transferred the plaque to The American Veterans Heritage Center in October of the same year. Through their efforts and in conjunction with Richard Montgomery, SAR, the plaque was restored in 2020.

“In 2022, The American Veterans Heritage Center transferred the plaque to Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum where all parties then worked together with Morrison Monuments in Bellbrook to have the plaque adhered to a granite monument,” stated Bob Neff, project chairman, SAR. “The monument will be placed in the Soldier’s Section at Woodland Cemetery where all who visit can honor the men who fought for our independence.”

Of the 158 soldiers listed on the bronze plaque, Woodland has 20 of the soldiers resting peacefully among its 200 verdant acres of rolling hills and valleys. Most notably are Colonel Robert Patterson, grandfather of John H. Patterson, founder of National Cash Register (NCR) and Major David Zeigler, a German immigrant who served as Senior Captain of the First Pennsylvania Continental Regiment and later became the first mayor of Cincinnati.

Steve Kaplan, president of SAR, said, “All of the members of the Richard Montgomery Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution are very excited to once again have this plaque on display in the public area. Our chapter’s three goals are to work on historical, educational, and patriotic projects. This plaque fulfills all three.”

The unveiling of the restored plaque on the granite marker will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum located at 118 Woodland Avenue in Dayton. The dedication is open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

You will see some amazing jack-o-lanterns!

The event easily brings about 1500 viewers, and it could reach 2000 this year.
“It’s back!For those of us that love the event, we are so stoked that we can see the Glow on the hill once again!” says Carly Mikesell. “I can remember a few years ago driving down 75 South, looking over and thinking, ‘That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen. But then, I went up and saw the carvings…..that was one the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen!’

Get your GLOW ON!

Family friendly, and a true seasonal traditional, the Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow is sure to pleases everyone. The event is sponsored by Grandview Medical Center, with special thanks to Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.

Rotary Project makes using the bike trail safer

By

Have you traveled the Great Miami River Recreation Trail for exercise, for your commute, or just for fun? No matter the reason, accidents can happen. And thanks to a new sign marking project, the trail just got a little safer for you.

If you need help, you should call 911 and tell them your location. But what if you don’t know where you are? Because the trail is over 70 miles long, and many sections travel through remote areas, it can be difficult for emergency responders to locate you quickly when you need help.

To be rescued, you have to know where you are on the trail. You might not remember the last trailhead you passed, or you might not know the name of the closest street. To make it easier to find you, each bike trail sign post is now clearly marked with a numbering system that is uploaded in the dispatch system.

Funded by the Rotary Club of Dayton, this project was implemented by the Miami Conservancy District. Thanks to emergency responders in the City of Franklin and Warren County, the numbering system is now part of the Dispatch database, just like a street address. Each bike trail sign post was assigned a unique number, and each sign post is geo-located so they can navigate to you more quickly.

To use the markers in the case of an emergency, just call 911, and tell the dispatcher your location using the number on the bike trail sign post.

We want you to stay safe on the trail – and thanks to our partners – it just got a little safer.

Have fun, stay safe, call 911 for emergencies.
