Kettering Seeking Tree Committee Members
For almost 4 decades, The Arbor Foundation has considered Kettering to be a “Tree City USA.”
To maintain this status, Kettering must: maintain a tree board or department, have a community tree ordinance, spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry, and celebrate Arbor Day.
To fill these needs, Kettering is seeking 4 residents to be Tree Committee members on a voluntary basis.
For more information, check out the City of Kettering website.
Dayton viewed by New York 1878
Howard Burba, a well known Dayton Daily News reporter in the early 1930s, wrote many stories centering not only around Dayton events, but Dayton itself. One of which was an article he found from the New York Daily Graphic, October 29, 1878. Quotes from this article describe Dayton as seen through the eyes of C. H. Miller, a New York journalist.
Here are some excerpts from the article he wrote:
-
- “Dayton, the county seat of Montgomery Co., is universally conceded by visitors to be one of the most beautiful cities on the continent. And its surroundings are equally attractive. It is notable for its broad, clean, smooth avenues, its uniformly comfortable and numerous elegant residences, its admirable public school system and school houses, its handsome church architecture, its numerous and large manufacturing establishments and the general air of thrift and solid comfort which pervades the community. It is indisputably one of the most delightful of inland cities for a home, and as reliable in its established wealth and credit as any fortunate city in the Union. These are features which impress all strangers, and the well-contented people of Dayton are pardonable for the pride they take in their most enviable city.”
Beware of Spam and Scams!
Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of scams and spam calls coming to my phone and wanted to share some information with you all.There are many scams out there, many of which take place over the phone. The calls are designed to scare you or trick you into thinking you’ve been hacked, a payment was missed, or someone made a purchase on one of your accounts.Here are a few examples of these calls:
- Amazon/Apple Scam – You get a call from someone claiming to represent Amazon or Apple, and the recording asks you to press one to speak to a representative. If you do so, the person on the phone then asks you to share your credit card information, passwords, or other personal information they can use against you.
