 Charles Moore, left, and step son Duane Scott in Washington,DC.
Moore traveled with 75 other veterans from World War II and the Korean War, as well as their escorts and guardians, May 21 from Cincinnati to Washington, D.C.
Moore’s daughter-in-law thought the trip was something he would be interested in and signed him up for it, and Moore went on the trip with his stepson Duane Scott.
After being greeted by a cheering crowd at the airport in Washington, D.C., the local veterans spent the whole day touring the nation’s capital, mainly focusing on war memorials established for World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iwo Jima and the United States Air Force.
The group landed in Washington, D.C. and headed for the Iwo Jima Marine memorial, after which they visited the Arlington National Cemetery, where they witnessed the changing of the guard. Following this observation, the group arrived at the Air Force memorial, where they enjoyed a box lunch and went on a tour.
The veterans visited the World War II memorial, after which they toured the Korean War, Vietnam and Lincoln memorial area of the city.
The veterans spent the most time at the World War II memorial, but each had their favorite stops.
“I liked watching the changing of the guards at Arlington National Cemetery,” Moore said. “I also liked visiting the Iwo Jima and Lincoln memorials.” |

This weekend, thousands of residents in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania will take part in the annual Ohio River Sweep, picking up trash in a collaborative effort to keep the river and its tributaries clean.
River Sweep will take place 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 15, with cleanup hubs in Aberdeen, Higginsport and Ripley.
“It’s a multi-state event; any states that border the Ohio River participate in it and it’s been going on since 1989,” Sam Perrin, with Brown County Recycling Center and organizer of the Brown County River Sweep, said.
River Sweep is held in six states each year, with the overall goal to keep the Ohio, Allegheny, Monongahela, Beaver, Kanawha, and Kentucky Rivers clean. River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the Ohio River, from its origin in Pittsburgh, Penn. to its end in Cairo, Ill., including 3,000 miles of shoreline and tributaries. |

The suspect in a weekend homicide in Mt. Orab was arrested by Michigan officials Sunday evening.
The Michigan State Police arrested Joseph Trzeciak, 24, in the city of White Cloud on Sunday, June 9.
Trzeciak had been named a suspect in the shooting death of James Mootispaw, 27, who was killed Friday, June 7, at the Hyde Park Apartments complex, located off West Main Street in Mt. Orab.
The Mt. Orab Police Department was called to the complex at approximately 10:30 p.m. that Friday after getting a call regarding a disturbance.
When they arrived, officers found Mootispaw lying in front of the apartment complex.
“The suspect and the victim are cousins,” said Bryan Mount, chief of the Mt. Orab Police Department. “They were outside of the apartments in the lawn area when the shooting occurred.”
A witness made a 911 call, as did several others.
“Numerous residents from the apartment complex were calling for shots fired,” Mount said.
The Mt. Orab Police Department issued a warrant for Trzeciak, who allegedly fled the scene in a 2001 black Mazda pickup truck with Wisconsin plates.
