World’s
Longest Yard Sale –State Route 127
Join the fun as the World’s Longest Yard sale comes to Celina, Ohio on August 7th - 10th.
Yard sales committee members are encouraging businesses and residents to participate by having yard sales, sidewalk sales,
farmers’ market and special promotions in communities up and down US 127. “The concept of a continual yard sale
is simple… pull people off the interstates and back into the heartland of rural, scenic America,” stated Louanna
Gwinn, former President of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce. Once established, the end result is lots of fun for vendors
and shoppers alike. We have all heard the saying, “one man’s junk is another man's treasure.” That adage
holds true as these events bring people together from all across the country to barter and haggle over things that may have
been stored in a garage or an attic somewhere for years. Go to www.127saleohio.com for further details.
Niekamp Farm & Flea Market on State Route 127 South of Celina is opening its parking
lot to yard sale vendors. Call them to reserve a space at (419) 925-5208.

located at 123 West Sycamore Street in Coldwater (former New Idea/Agco Building). Awnings, enclosures, windows and doors
are just a few of their specialties.

As this school year closes it is necessary for us to make some small preparations for next year. Your student
is about to begin his or her final year of high school, and to commemorate this event most of you will be hiring a professional
photographer to do your child’s senior portraits. For many years, the Anilec Yearbook staff has relied on students
doing this entirely on their own and then submitting one of their wallet size photos to us for use in the senior pages of
the yearbook. However, due to a variety of reasons, students have been failing to turn in these photographs to us.
As of January 25, 2008, our deadline for turning in pictures, only 119 out of the 216 graduating seniors had turned in photographs.
It took an additional three weeks for us to chase down the missing 97 students and ask them to turn in their pictures, and
only a fraction have followed through. Therefore, it has become necessary to implement a change in the senior portrait
procedure in order to get the pictures we need in a more timely fashion so that we can meet our publisher’s deadlines.
In September, Lifetouch comes into school to photograph each member of the student body. On that portrait day,
seniors are required to take their pictures for their school photo ID card. So that students will take this portrait
day seriously, it will also double as their senior portrait for the 2009 Yearbook. You are not obligated to purchase
these pictures, however, we will expect seniors to dress appropriately and nicely that day. We are working with Lifetouch
to do a nice senior portrait with a possible alternative background to separate their look from the underclassmen’s
portraits. If your child does not have their picture taken that day, they will not get their ID card and, therefore,
will not be eligible for open lunch in the spring.
We will continue to accept professional portraits of your seniors
as a substitute for their Lifetouch picture only if they meet the following requirements: Photographs must be a head
and shoulders shot of your senior—no half or full-length photos will be accepted. Portraits must be in front of a simple
backdrop—no photos with multiple props will be accepted. Photographs must be turned in by January 23, 2009—no
exceptions.
If you intend to substitute a professional picture, we suggest you book your sitting no later
than November 15, 2008 to ensure plenty of time to get your completed orders back and a copy of the picture you desire for
the yearbook turned in.
