Shaw and Palmer appointed to fill vacant seats on Dellroy Council By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the January meeting of Dellroy Village Council, Mayor Doug Ruby reported that he had received five letters of interest from residents who are willing to fill the two vacant council seats. Council briefly discussed them prior to proceeding with the items on the agenda. At the end of the regular business meeting, council went into an executive session to discuss the candidates. Upon reconvening to regular session, council recommended to Mayor Ruby the appointments of William Shaw and Bruce Palmer. Ruby made these appointments and the oath of office was administered by Solicitor Jenna Hokes. In other discussion, the position of Clerk was again discussed. Current Clerk Candice Ruby reminded council that her term expires March 31, 2020,
and that no one had ran in the November election. Ruby had previously suggested that council consider changing the elected position of clerk to that of a hired fiscal officer. Solicitor Hokes explained to council that most small villages have already made this change. Council President Joe Ruby inquired as to what the difference the financial obligations of the village would be should council decide to go with a fiscal officer. Hokes advised that there would be no change in the salary, unless council decides to increase this. Hokes further advised that adjusting the salary of a fiscal officer can be done at any time, the salary of an elected clerk can be changed, but only goes into effect after the following election. Clerk Ruby further advised council that they will also need to consider that she is currently taking care of the Community Building rentals and cleaning, and that a job description will
need to be reviewed. A lengthy discussion took place. Council unanimously agreed to change the position of clerk to that of fiscal officer. Hokes will prepare the Ordinance for the February meeting. In other action, council: - Approved 30 purchase orders in the amount of $17,465.95; - Approved 17 checks and two electronic payments totaling $2,924.33; - Heard fund balances reported as followed: $55,722.92 in the General Fund, $14,409.35 in the Street Fund, $2,927.80 in the State Highway Fund and $0.11 in the Fire Protection Fund; - Heard receipts for the Community Building reported at $150; - Accepted a 2012 Edition of the Ohio Basic Code as the governing laws for the Village; - Approved Unified Bank as the Village’s financial institution for 2020; - Set committees for 2020;

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than him. This very situation happened to the British during our Revolutionary War. When the British saw George Washington’s rag tag army of volunteers who had no uniforms, they began to think that it was going to be an easy pushover. They felt superior knowing that they were a welltrained army and they were facing a group of sloppy looking volunteers. An English Army surgeon, Dr. Richard Schuckburgh, wrote the words of the song ‘Yankee Doodle.’ We all know it – “Yankee Doodle came to town a riding on a pony. He stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.” No one is certain where the word Yankee came from, but it had been used since the early 1700’s to indicate those in the New Country. The British army assumed that Washington’s rag tag army would only doodle around and not really fight. They also claimed that if they put a feather in their hat it would improve their appearance. However, I often wondered
why they called them macaroni’s. Well – in the late 1600’s there was a group of young Italians that started a fad of wearing sloppy looking clothes. Some of the English youth began to copy them and they became known as Macaroni’s. So you see, the song was written to make fun of and bully Washington’s rag tag army of untrained troops. What was the reaction of our Revolutionary American soldiers and marines? They followed the advice given in the Bible. Proverbs 16:32 reads, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty.” Ephesians 4:26 reads, “Be ye angry but let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” In other words, do not let anger fog your mind lest you stumble. The Continental soldiers and marines were slow to anger. In fact, they liked the tune and soon it became their battle song. The British heard it so often during their retreat from Concord that General Gage is said to have exclaimed, “I hope I shall never hear that tune again.” But the British did hear it again. American military bands played it over and over as the British surrendered at Yorktown. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.
