PIQUA — A new tattooshop has opened in down-town Piqua, offering thou-sands of designs as well ascustom art done by an ex-perienced professional inthe trade.

Vision Ink Tattooopened at 425 N. Main St.on Aug. 1. It is located inthe former White PinesTailoring store front, be-tween Glamour Paws onMane and the Piqua ArtsCouncil. Owner ZachRowe is the sole artist inthe shop.

“We try to offer our bestservice to our customersand make them feel athome,” Rowe said.

Vision Ink does alltypes of tattoos and alsooffers body piercing. Thou-sands of ready-made de-signs line the walls of theshop for customers tobrowse through. Rowe alsocan do portraits and cus-tom freehand work, tattoo-ing a customer’s design ordrawing what the cus-tomer asks for himself.

Rowe co-owns the shopwith his wife, Maureen.They are originally fromCalifornia, but now live inSidney. Christopher Par-sons, of Piqua, also worksat Vision Ink, as an ap-prentice. It is typical fortattoo artists to learn theskill by completing a six-

month apprenticeship.Rowe has been a tattoo

artist for 20 years. He hasan associate degree in artfrom San Fransisco ArtAcademy and has workedat several tattoo shops, in-cluding the former TrojanBody Art in Troy. He par-ticularly excels at tradi-tional Japanese tattoosthat cover the full body.

“I love the art and free-dom to be able to expressmy mind and deal withcustomers one-on-one,”Rowe said.

Rowe and Parsons saidthe most popular tattoosare butterflies, frogs andtribal inkings. Rowe saidthe majority of peoplecome in not knowing whatthey want, and he canhelp pick their brains tochoose the best tattoo.

It is often said once aperson gets one tattoo,more will follow. Rowe,who stopped counting hisown ink after 10, puts itsimply.

“Tattoos are like Dori-tos. You can’t eat just one,”he said. “The adrenalinefrom getting a tattoo is ad-dictive.”

Getting a tattoo mightbe a scary process forfirst-timers, but Rowe andParsons keep positive atti-tudes to help ease theminds of all their cus-tomers.

“We welcome everybodywith warm arms and a big

smile,” he said.In addition to his art

training, Rowe also is cer-tified in blood-bornepathogens, CPR, first aidand the prevention of dis-ease transmission.

Vision Ink’s prices arebased on how much time ittakes to complete a tattoo,not on the size of the art.The shop has a $30 mini-mum on all tattoos, andcharges $100 an hour.

The shop takes walk-ins and appointments,which are recommendedfor larger designs. VisionInk is open Tuesdaythrough Thursday noon to8 p.m. and Friday and Sat-urday noon to 10 p.m.Sunday and Mondayhours are by appointmentonly. For more informa-tion, call the shop at (937)778-2285.

TROY — Runners andwalkers are encouraged tocome out to the fourth an-nual 5K run/walk support-ing the Dayton chapter ofPink Ribbon Girls this fall.All proceeds from the racestay in Miami County tohelp residents who havebeen diagnosed with breastcancer.

The race will be heldOct. 7 starting at thegazebo on the Troy levee.The entry fee to pre-regis-ter is $20, with partici-pants receiving a T-shirt ifregistered by Sept. 28.Race-day registration is$25. Registration will beginat 12:30 p.m., with the racestarting at 2 p.m. Partici-

pants of all ages are wel-come. Water stations willbe provided.

Registration forms areavailable at La Bella Viag-gio, Giacomo’s, La Piazza,William and Boss Jewelers,Panera Bread, KovermanDickerson Insurance, Upand Running, For All Sea-sons, the Troy YMCA, TroySports Center and onlineat www.pinkribbongirls.organd www.speedyfeet.com.

This is the fourth year

La Bella Viaggio in Troyhas presented a 5K race,and the second year it hasteamed up with Pink Rib-bon Girls, a grassroots or-ganization established inOctober 2010. ReginaMoos, La Bella’s officemanager, said 400 runnerscame out for last year’srace and raised $15,000,surpassing goals of 300runners and $10,000.

Moos hopes to have 400again this year, and en-courages people to jointeams or create their owngroups. Teams are not lim-ited to any amount of peo-ple.

“Last year, lots of peoplecame in teams and thatwas really cool. I wouldlove to have more teams,”she said.

This year, Jeff Coudronfrom Speedy Feet will helpout at the race with chipsto track runner’s times.The top three runners,male and female, in eachage category will win amedal.

The race certainly isn’tonly for serious runners.Moos said almost 90 per-cent of the people who par-ticipated last year walkedthe 3.1-mile route. Theevent also features facepainting and refreshments,including bagels from Pan-era Bread.

All participants are en-couraged to wear theirpink gear in support ofbreast cancer. One individ-ual will be named bestdressed and win a $50Chipotle gift card. The best

dressed team also will re-ceive a prize.

The Dayton Chapter ofPink Ribbon Girls helpswomen throughout the en-tire Miami Valley fromDayton to Greenville, butthe funds raised at the 5Kwill specifically stay inMiami County to help localwomen.

“Everybody realizes nowthat you know someone(who has been affected bybreast cancer) — a friendor a sister. So it’s right herein our backyard,” Moossaid. “It feels good thatthese women know wherethey can go for help.”

The Dayton chapter wasfounded by Heather PrintzSalazar, who has battledthe disease herself. Regard-less of the age of thewoman or stage of the can-cer, all women can receivehealthy meals, housekeep-ing, transportation totreatment and peer sup-port through Pink Ribbon

Girls. The group also offerschild care to help lightenthe load on mothers, sothey can focus on theirfight.

Through its Love YourGirls program, Pink Rib-bon Girls provides educa-tion and support forwomen with its website, so-cial and print media, publicspeaking forums, pinkgame days, communityevents and other breastcancer organizations.

When the race was or-ganized last year, Pink Rib-bon Girls was just gettingits feet off the ground andhad helped about sevenwomen going through can-cer. Since then, 158 womenhave been helped, withmore signing up every day,Salazar said.

“No one travels thisroad alone,” Salazar said.“And this community hasreally supported us.”

Moos and Salazar arealready looking toward

next year and making thePink Ribbon Girls race acommunity staple. Theyhope to keep it on the firstor second weekend of Octo-ber each year, and plansare already under way tomove the 2013 race down-town.

“We’re really excited tosay Karin Manovich helpedus get the race moved todowntown next year,” Moossaid. “All the merchantsI’ve talked to so far are ex-cited about decoratingtheir windows.”

The race is sponsored byLa Bella Viaggio, FreisthlerPaving, Panera Bread andAdvocare — Jeff and VickiVarvel.

“La Bella Viaggio isgrateful for all the busi-nesses and individuals whohave donated or sponsoredfor the 5K run/walk,” Moossaid.

PIQUA — Everyone remembers theirfavorite childhood toys, whether it was atrain you tugged around by a string, aLite-Brite, Barbie or GI Joe. Toys invokememories of days gone by, old friends anda simpler time in your life. For one Piquaman, toys have gone from being a plaything to a hobby and eventually a busi-ness.

Devon Alexander buys and sells vin-tage toys and other items under his busi-ness, PGI Investments. He is currentlypurchasing and consigning toys, includingStar Wars, Masters of the Universe,Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, RedLine Hot Wheel and other ’70s and ’80s ac-tion figures. He’s also looking for vintagecomics from the ’30s through the ’70s.

Other items he is interested in aremetal lunch boxes, Lionel Trains, vintage

advertisement signs, vintage post cardsand much more.

Alexander, a child of the ’80s, playedwith these types of toys as a child, andsaid he has always had an appreciation foraction figures.

“Typically, now we see kids more in thevirtual world of video games and comput-ers. I always felt that there is somethingspecial about toys from this era becausethere was always a story line behindthem, such as the ‘Star Wars’ movies orthe ‘GI Joe’ cartoons,” he said.

Alexander was a collector growing upthrough school until he sold everything tomake money for college.

“Fast forward to 2010, I happened tostumble upon a large collection, which Ibought and then sold, and found my loveback for buying and selling vintage toys,”he said.

Owning PGI investments is a side jobfor Alexander, but he easily puts 30 hours

a week into the project. He often travels tobuy large collections and buy out toystores. Just in the past six months, he hasbeen to Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michi-gan, Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.

In addition to buying out collectionsand stores, Alexander said it is commonfor him to get calls from adults who saythey have an attic full of old stuff and askif he’s interested.

“Having those individuals contact me isalways a plus,” he said.

With many contacts in the toy industry,Alexander knows first-hand there is ahuge market for collectibles from this timeframe. And the market is spread outworldwide, with about 40 percent of hissales going to South America, Europe andSoutheast Asia, he said.

Training to become knowledgeableabout collectible toys doesn’t really exist.Those in the business just have a passion-ate love of toys and enough experience to

know what they are worth.“I have over 20 years of experience

dealing with these types of toys, so itcomes natural to me to understand whatvalues items are worth and how the mar-ket supports the value of what they willrealistically sell for,” he said. “The biggestmisconception is that some people hearfrom a friend that something is worth$200, when in fact the real market valuemight be $40. There is a fine line betweenwhat the collecting value is and the realworld market value.”

Alexander also does appraisals on col-lections for insurance purposes. Many peo-ple have collections reaching into thesix-figure level, he said, and collectorsneed to establish the market value to in-sure the goods. He also does consignmentsfor higher-end pieces and helps sellersconnect with individuals all around theworld to get their items sold.

PIQUA — It’s hard tobelieve it’s the time of yearfor carved orange pump-kins, spooky black cats andbone-white skeletons al-ready. Luckily, the gor-geous colors of fall andHalloween fun help transi-tion us from summer toautumn, and Apple TreeGallery in downtownPiqua is decorated accord-ingly.

The shop carries Hal-loween decor all yearround in its Halloween loftspace, but right now theholiday is front and center.In one store front windowa pair of skeletons are get-ting ready for a party bysetting the table and get-ting out the board gamesin front of a fireplace deco-rated with black garlandand orange lights. Also inthe window, an old witchwanders through a grave-yard.

Just inside the door allthe new Halloween itemsare showcased on varioustables and stands. ShirleyAnderson, who owns AppleTree Gallery with her hus-band, Gary, said they setup for the October holidayabout three weeks ago.One of the top-selling linesis the Bethany Lowe collec-tion, which features fig-urines of witches,jack-in-the-box toys, fat lit-tle pumpkins trick-or-treating with masks andmuch more.

One brand new itemthis year are empty glassbottles with spooky labels,such as Mummy Dust,Vampire Teeth, Viper’sVenom and Hemlock RootExtract. The bottles comein different colors, includ-ing red, line green, orange

and clear, and are toppedwith glittery stoppers withbats or skulls.

Anderson said the bot-tles are popular this year,and Apple Tree sold someout at the Heritage Festi-val. Garland also is carriedto the cash register moreoften than not. The storehas garland featuringskulls, cats or lettersspelling out trick-or-treat.

Designer Vergie Light-foot has created a delight-fully spooky animal circusline with elephants, zebras,cats and more, which ispart of the display at AppleTree. Elaine Roesle’s SnowChildren line, handmadein Clayton, gets in the Hal-loween spirit with mum-mies in coffins.

Antique-looking books

that are actually boxes arepopular, too, Andersonsaid. Made by LancasterMarket, the book coversfeature vintage inspiredHalloween designs. AppleTree also has items for theholiday from K and K Inte-riors and Midwest.

Last January, AppleTree Gallery added a vin-tage Halloween collection,displayed in a showcase inthe front of the store. Itcontains many items bydesigner Bruce Elsass, aNew Knoxville native whonow lives in Connecticut.Some of the items for saleare from his own vintagecollection. The store alsoadded showcases with vin-tage Christmas items lastspring.

Anderson said Apple

Tree has always had a sec-tion dedicated to Hal-loween, and about fiveyears ago, it got so big theymoved it to the upstairsloft area. Items from previ-ous years may still beavailable up in the loft, andeverything new from thisyear will go up in the loftafter the season is over.

“I’ve always loved Hal-loween — not the scary,gory stuff — but I like theseason and the colors,” An-derson said.

Check out Apple TreeGallery at 405 N. Main St.or call the store at (937)773-1801 for more informa-tion. The store is openMonday through Friday10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. andSaturday 10:30 a.m. to 4p.m.

PIQUA — The Friendsof the Piqua Public Librarywill begin its new season ofthe Library Lounge Serieswith a special wine tastingFriday evening at thePiqua Public Library.

“Tasting Wines of theWorld” will be presented at6:30 p.m. Admission is free,but seating is limited. Thefirst 75 guests will havethe opportunity to tastefour wines, paired with ap-petizers from local chefs.More participants will beable to observe the presen-tation.

Craig Kohli, of Lima,will share his wine expert-ise. He will discuss theproper way to taste a wine,as well as how to pair dif-ferent wines with food. Hechose the four wines thatwill be tasted during theevent.

The four wines and ap-petizers are:

• New Age White Blend,Mendoza, Argentina —paired with a light brie ap-petizer from the chef atBackyard Bistro in Piqua

• Tohu MarlboroughSauvignon Blanc, NewZealand — paired with agoat cheese appetizer froma local chef

• Hob Nob Pinot Noir, 1Languedoc-Roussillon,France — paired with ableu cheese stuffed mush-room from the chef at The

Grenache/Shiraz, HunterValley, Austrailia — pairedwith a barbecue meatballappetizer from the chef atthe Piqua Country Club

Guests will try eachpairing and vote for theirfavorite by placing theirempty glass by the bottlethey prefer.

“(Kohli) is a fun speakerand a nice guy,” said DonSmith, owner of AllistenManor’s Flower Box inPiqua and also a memberof the Friends of the PiquaPublic Library.

Kohli’s interest in winebegan in December 1989when he was asked tobring wine to a holidaydinner with friends. Inex-perienced with wine at thetime, he turned to hisneighbor for help. He toldhim it was a steak dinnerand was handed three bot-tles. The neighbor wasproved right when the richcherry flavors and tanninsof the wine were a greatmatch with the steak.

Kohli was hooked onwine ever since and his in-terest grew to a hobby and

eventually, an obsession.He read wine books andguides daily, and trips tolocal wine shops becamevisits to larger cities tofind more interestingwines.

In 2004, he beganteaching wine classes, con-ducting tastings, hostingwine dinners and sharingwine tips at special eventsand service clubs. He alsopublished a wine newslet-ter featuring reviews of af-fordable wines, recipes,tips on food pairings andinformation on area wineevents.

In addition to his love ofwine, Kohli retired from a30-year career in educa-tion in 2001, and has beena real estate agent since2006.

The Library Lounge Se-ries, back from its summerhiatus, will continue thisyear with an evening ofghost tours of Piqua onOct. 26 and a holidaycaberet show with NewYork actress and singerStephanie Wilberding, aPiqua native, on Nov. 30.More events are plannedfor the winter and spring.

Opening Friday‘Trouble with the Curve’Gus Lobel has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but despite his efforts to

hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus, who can tell a pitch just by thecrack of the bat, refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may nothave a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especiallywith the country’s hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be ableto help is also the one person Gus would never ask — his daughter, Mickey, an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming part-ner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus’s objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scoutingtrip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. (Warner Bros.)

Home and Away with Dana WolfeRemembering recycling the old fashioned way


Recently, I was talkingwith a 26-year-old gal whoinformed me that our worldis in such bad shape nowbecause of my generationand the one before me. Myhead spun off my shoulders!

I know we have all donethings we are not proud ofin the recycling world, but Ican also remember whenthings were so different.Example: When I wasgrowing up, my mom hungout all of our laundry on aline to dry. This processtook hours.

We had a dryer, but shethought it was better to letthem dry on the line. Whenour sheets and towels wereno longer useable, shewould cut them up andmake cleaning rags out of

them. She used canningjars year after year to canmeats and vegetables forthe winter months. Bottlesof soda and milk were keptand taken back to the storeto be cleaned and refilled atthe distributers.

Paper bags from the gro-cery stores were used inmany different ways, suchas lining our dresser draw-ers and draining the greaseoff fried chicken from thefrying pan. We neverwalked away from the tele-vision without turning itoff, same with the lights.My mom could hear the re-frigerator door open twoblocks away.

“Shut the refrigeratordoor,” she would yell! “Yourletting the cold out!”

I was always in troublewith that one.

Windex? What was that?Mom used vinegar andwater as a window cleanerand buffed the windows outwith used newspapers, andthey just sparkled.

I know times are differ-ent, and we are all doingour part to keep our worldclean and healthy, butwouldn’t it be nice to goback to those days for just afew weeks. Maybe start allover and teach ourselveshow to do it the right wayagain. Going home theother night, I saw a man onMcKaig in Troy stopping topick up a bag of McDonaldsthat someone had thrownout. Whoever you are,thank you for stepping upand keeping our town clean.
